You know something?

I agree with you. I'm going to post an comment on the article.

I wonder how the anti-torture crow is going to explain their way out of that one.

You meant "crowd" but "crow" fits in nicely.

Also something that has to do with the GC:

If I remember correctly, I have hinted at this since over a year - and defenders of the war always were only laughing and wondering if I am serious, and saying that it cannot be true. "Worse than under Saddam? Can't be true, cause what have we fought for so far, then?"

Well, good question, guys.

Well, seeing how CNN never reported on Saddam's jails because they'd get kicked out of the country (or just outright shot), and seeing how the International Red Cross never grew the balls necessary to actually "inspect" his prisons and mass graves....I'd say the Shi'a are looking to wipe out the Sunni. And I'd also say that Iran is doing it's part to further just that. I'd also say that Saudi Arabia will be feeling the Shi'a pressure when Iraq and Iran team up against it. Kuwait will also be sucking.

To answer your question, we got the Kurds some autonomy, and they are a pain in the ass for Iran, Turkey, the Shi'a, and the Sunni. If the Shi'a manage to wipe out the Sunni, they're still going to have to deal with the Wahabbi and ethnic Kurds.

And it's entirely possible some good could come out of that very position.

:hmm: I guess you didn't listen to the Iraqi President yesterday thanking the USA for liberating Iraq, and looking forward to taking more control of it. He seemed rather upbeat about it. Fact is, right now, there is less death going on. Things are looking up, but like my friend over there right now said, don't listen to the media. He's said before that there are many challenges, violent spots of terrorist resistance left, and we know that terrorists are terrorizing the local population. What's new???But we're trying everything in our power to stabilize the situation. And my friend Chris volunteered happily to go back, and knows more than you about the situation Skybird. You read the internet, he's actually there.

Maybe someday you'll realize that the USA is actually your friend.

Skybird · 09-21-06, 03:09 PM

Yaddayaddayadda. In five years, at the latest, no one will talk like that anymore. Promised.

Concerning the Iraqi president - anyone out there taking that jester serious...? He does a politican's typical job: glossing things over.

Soldiers tend to stubbornly believe exclusively what motivates them for their mission. Cause if they start to question the mission, the morale goes down. I have sympathy for that. Who wants to realize that he is being send into war for lies, and on a lost mission? Realising that really can ruin your day - and the days you still have to spend there. so keep up the sweet dream, as long as possible. Maybe you can win some more minutes before the rough awakening.

And what has all that to do with the detoriating situation concerning torture over there, practiced from all sides? It has been reported soince over a year, by many different medias, correspondents, organisations over the last year - not only by the UN now.

Judging by it's unrealistic policies, a very debile friend, and not less retarded than it's European "partner". Two idiots walking together - do their IQs add up for a better score...?

I guess if you knew that you were doing a mission for a bunch of lies, it might affect your moral. Good thing that what they are fighting for is the right thing!!! Most of those soldiers have a "Brain" Skybird and can figure out that they are doing the world a favor! Maybe one day you will figure it out too! :p

Stars shining bright above you,
night breezes seem to whipser I love you,
birds singing in a sycamore tree
dream a little dream of me.

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you -
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
