funny how when i say stuff about a revolution, people assume i'm talking about violence.

it's our country....and you swore an oath.

so has "al-qaeda in iraq" been broken and defeated? lately the news wires and US military officials have been indicating that this may be the case.

violence is down 77% in baghdad, and 55% nation-wide.

this can be attributed to the US "troop surge", but mainly it's a result of al qaeda's loss of sunni support and iraqi support in general, who are fed up with al-qaeda's barbaric indiscriminate tactics.

the sunni populace have been giving up info to the US army, resulting in a cascading effect of captures and kills of al qaeda militants and their leaders, and the seizing of numerous weapons caches.

This should be interesting given that there are about 4 or 5 stupid Americans here who don't know basic history, understand the concept of universality, know anything about global politics or how nation states operate.

But lets roll with it and cover some basics

1. Invading Afghanistan and Iraq are pretty much in the upper echelon of the terrorism pyramid

2. The US are the only country in history to be found guilty of terrorism in the world court

3. The US harbor terrorists as much as any other country they point the finger at

Highly recommended. Sociology professor had shown this to us.

Free of wild irrational global conspiracy theories.

2. The US are the only country in history to be found guilty of terrorism in the world court

Can you cite your source. Both that the US was "found guilty of terrorism" in a "world court" and that no other country has ever been found guilty of sponsoring terrorism.

What's funny is that in 2005 the US knew IRAN was helping the insurgents. And in 2007 it comes out as "unclassified", but in 2005 it was stated as "SECRET".

Meanwhile, Insurgent activity has dropped sharply recently, sources newspapers.

If the US becomes 1 nation, all the soldiers have to obied by those rules, so fuck an oath.

If you are American then this exercise is a testament to the US education system and the culture itself that what I'm talking about isn't firstly general knowledge that everyone over ten years old should know and secondly a serious thing to consider when the US government try to convince its people of what is and isnt terrorism

1. "World Court"

AKA The International Court of Justice

AKA The highest level of global law

AKA The Republic of Nicaragua v. The United States of America, 1986.

2. "Found guilty of terrorism"

The court stated that the US was "in breach of its obligations under customary international law not to use force against another State", "not to intervene in its affairs", "not to violate its sovereignty", "not to interrupt peaceful maritime commerce"

AKA International terrorism

theo likes sources.

In general, being a condescending douchebag doesn’t make up for having nothing to back up your arguments with.

Small boy why do you keep following me around only to lose arguments?

If you could actually understand English properly it wasn't a condescending insult aimed at Theo himself it was a comment regarding US society.

I will help you with your language and reading difficulties

"If you are American then this exercise is a testament to the US education system and the culture itself"

This part pertains to Theo

"that what I'm talking about isn't firstly general knowledge that everyone over ten years old should know"

This is the part where I make a general statement regarding the subject matter in relation to the populace. In no way is this directed at Theo on a personal level nor am I claiming that his intelligence is that of a ten year old.

Stereotype calling someone else condescending???

I saw how to make the WTC burn by using currency today hahahah :D

funny, so did i

Stereotype,

America's support of the contras, a militia who attacked civillian targets to destabilise the sandinista government is pretty much a textbook case of terrorism.

its not a matter of having nothing to back that argument up with, that is common knowledge, i learnt that in modern history in high school. it is part of the school curriculum, not just loony internet conspiracy shit.

Theo asked for a specific source from when “the US was "found guilty of terrorism" in a "world court" and that no other country has ever been found guilty of sponsoring terrorism”, obviously he didn't have one.

Small boy

Again with the small boys. Isn’t this against your court ordered anti-pedophilia therapy? Does your mom know you are using the computer in such a way? Whats funny is you actually got all bent out of shape when someone referred to you as “kid”, so you must think everyone else is as petty and gets angry.

Dawood, atleast I generally have sources.

Obviously you are the biggest clown in this forum or just a skilled practitioner of losing arguments and looking stupid on purpose

Here is one source for Theo

http://www.gwu.edu/~jaysmith/nicus3.html

When things are general knowledge it means you don't have to have 'sources' like if I were to ask someone to explain what a horse was I would not require them to back up their arguments with a journal entry from a biology journal.

Alternatively if you weren't such a fucking stupid cunt you could just Google any of the key terms I used in that post.

Not to totally derail the thread, this is a pretty interesting site

my boy just sent me this... those of you familiar w/ the soldier's or airman's creed can laugh, too.

The Private Military Contractor's Creed

I am a U.S. contractor. I look out for myself, the operators to my left and

right, and no one else. I will always take advantage of the fact that I

can finally tell military officers to pound sand, and will do so at every

opportunity.

I am my country's scapegoat, the "plausible deniability"

warrior, and I love it.

Less than $700 dollars a day is unacceptable.

I am trained to eat things that would make a billy goat puke, but will

refuse anything less than 60 dollars per diem because I am greedy.

I care not for ribbon's and awards for valor. I do this job for the

opportunity to kill the enemies of my country, and to finally get that

boat I've always wanted.

I will be in better shape than 99% of the active duty personnel, although

this is not hard.

I will equip myself with the latest high speed gear, and will trick out

my M4 until it weighs more than 24 lbs, not because it works better, but

because it looks cool in the photographs.

I will carry more weapons, ammunition, and implements of death on my

person, than an infantry fire team, and when engaged I will lay waste to

everything around me.

In any combat zone, I will always locate the swimming pool, beer, and

women, because I can.

I will deploy on my terms, and if it ever gets too stupid,

I will simply find another company that pays me more.

I swear!

Good point, you win the argument. round of applause ^(meaning purple mushroom)

I guess that was supposed to be an insult. You know full well that the average "ten year old" doesn't know about the verdict of "The Republic of Nicaragua v. The United States of America". There's no way that I will know about and remember everything, which is why I asked you to specify and cite a reference. But I was aware that the CIA sponsored anti-communist contras to conduct terrorist attacks against merchant shipping targets in Nicaragua. Still, there was no way I could've guessed that this is what you were referring to, since you weren't specific (e.g. using generic jargon to refer to the ICJ, etc.).

Secondly, the US was not the only country to be "found guilty" of sponsoring terrorism; Libya was found to have been a sponsor of the terrorist attack on the PanAm flight in 1988, as determined by the ICJ, the UN Security Council, and the international community as a whole -- as international sanctions were placed on Libya as punishment for continuing to harbor these suspects, under the authority of the aforementioned entities.
