My issue with torture.

you know it is intresting to see the right wing always bitching about how Saddam tortured his own people but yet we see the same with the American soldiers in overseas doing the same or worse in other countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.I know I know you might say hey they are terrorists so who gives a fuck but my question here is arent you creating more terrorists by doing this?arent you getting more people in those countries angry wanting fuckin kill you?

you told the whole world that you went to Iraq to free those people form torture and dictatorship but yet you use the same methods in their country to abuse the the prisnores in the prisons which I might add is against the geneva Conventions.

and as you all heard by now Bush said he will veto against the anti torture law

So what about their own Iraqi lead forces killing terrorists?
Does that anger them too?

I'm not defending anyone here; there certainly has been lots of questions regarding Iraq, but sooner or later, the States will leave and then what will we say?

Are the Iraqi lead forces Americans or other "Infidels" occupying Muslim land?

Who do you think taught Saddam torture techniques in the first place? It's most likely that we did, when he was still an asset of the CIA during the Cold War.

I guess you guys have never heard of the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, formerly known as the "School of the Americas"

Of course not.
I'm just thinking ahead when all "Infidels" have left...

Then they'll probably just have a civil war.

Dude, as kind as I try to be to people, I just can't help but get frustrated by you and your backtracking, wishy-washy, crapola arguments. Either go out and learn some reading comprehension or stop posting on this board altogether. This is getting to be beyond ridiculous!

Go back two posts and look at what you just said to see what I'm responding to...

Here, I'll do it for you:

Fir3start3r what willl it take for you to admit that this admnistration has made some major fuckups?

I mean why are you 100% always behind Bush even though I know that you know he is wrong in alot of issues.Why are you defending him with passion?tell me one positive thing he has done besides attacking Afghanistan to kill the Talibans which I might add were put to power by the CIA.(you probably gonna deny that too right?)

I mean I see in this board over and over people try to educate you and open your eyes to see whats going on with this Douchebag of a president and you still defend him regardless.It makes me feel sick to my stomach seeing people like you defedning this man 100% on everything he does.

Wow...
I ask a few actual questions that actually deserve some actual thought and everyone does a knee-jerk stop at Bush.
Pardon me if I don't think, "He's all that" and that the world doesn't revolve around the fuckin' guy.
Look, forget the fact that it looks like I'm defending the guy; I've debunked that already, but apparently some people need some, how you say, "reading comprehension".

This is a place of debate, act like it.
If you can't handle questions here, you my friend are going to have a lot of problems in real life.
This isn't a closed-door, elite anti-Bush Mason's club.
You'll just have to live with the fact that some people don't necessarily believe everything they see on the Internet.

And you need to learn to read too.
I'll even post a link for you since it's quite evident your mind is already made up without any facts regarding me.
>>My Bush Rant<<
Read it, you might actually be surprised.

I suggest you either both better get used to the idea that I'm going to ask questions or use your IGNORE feature.
It least I won't have to explain myself to the thought police here everytime I post...

Hey moron, ONCE AGAIN, my post had absolutely nothing at all to do with Bush. So don't group me with anyone else because my post was directed only at you and had nothing whatsoever to do with anything BUT the post I was responding to.

Is that really so difficult to understand?

And it really does pain me to be such a jerk like this, but I don't see any other way of getting through that amazingly dense skull of yours.

Are you refering to this? I answered that.

You answered with they'll, "Probably have a civil war" like that wasn't obvious, and I say mention the Americans are there to prevent that.
They're there now trying to stop civil war and get a country back on their feet. There's nothing wishy-washy about that statement at all.
They knew that before they went in, hell, we all knew that during the first Gulf War in '91 because the question of a "power vaccuum" was brought up even then.
Even the Left side of blogsphere agrees why the Americans are there now.

quote:

ERIK GUSTAFSON: Well, that's one thing I want to make very clear. It's not about being for or against withdrawal. The Education for Peace in Iraq Center, of course, wants to see US forces withdraw and to see a process that moves in that direction. However, the question is whether or not US forces can leave tomorrow. And the answer is, no. Iraq's security forces are insufficient to provide the security that the Iraqi people need. We would leave a tremendous vacuum behind. And all of the Iraqis that I talked to, while there is -- I mean, they are unanimous in wanting to see Americans leave and wanting to see the Bush Administration make a declaration that the US has no claim on the resources or territory of Iraq, which the administration still refuses to do. But in terms of pulling out tomorrow, most Iraqis fear the chaos, fear what would happen next. They know that many of their families, their neighborhoods are not secure. There aren�t police to be able to maintain the law and order that's required. And there aren't security forces to guard against a tremendous power vacuum. The question would be, who would step into the power vacuum? We have terrorism going on in Iraq. We have militias, Islamist fundamentalist militias. Is that what we're going to pass Iraq's future on to? I don't think so. I think that there has to be a process.

The arguement isn't so "backtracking, wishy-washy, [and] crapola" now is it??

And if you actually read what's in front of you, you'd see clearly that I wasn't talking about Bush; I was talking about me having to explain myself every. fucking. post.

Okay, since you have obviously failed on your quest to put these small pieces of information together in any sort of coherent manner, I will do it for you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

First off, yes, even my friend's autistic brother knows that we are there now, preventing any serious internal conflicts that would lead to a civil war.

You said,

quote:

I'm just thinking ahead when all "Infidels" have left...

Okay, so now we're thinking ahead to a time without occupying forces (meaning outside troops are no longer there)

Then I said,

quote:

Then they'll probably just have a civil war.

So you responded with,

quote:

But the Americans are already there now stopping this very thing...

But we were "thinking ahead" to a time where the American troops have withdrawn. So unless our troops have some means of bending the space~time continuum, they can't be withdrwan and there at the same time, can they?

So then you delve even further into stupidity by adding,

to which I responded,

---------------------------------------------------------------

So yes, this is a place of debate - but you seem to be too mentally deficient to even know how to hold a proper debate.

And again, I never said anything about Bush - so fucking drop it already.

I just found this out!!!

Terrorism is against the Geneva convention also!

Communication breakdown...

I do understand what you're trying to say now so thanks for finally explaining it in a more cohesive manner.
I can see where it got off topic and that when you backtracked and mentioned civil war, to which I responded to, totally disregarding the 'thiking ahead' since I only quoted the civil war post.

Anyways, I think this is dragged on enough and we're making a huge matter out of mole hill at this point so let's just drop it already.

You win Teh Internets Symantecs Prize!

Whew! I really had figured that this was going to keep on going, so I'm happy that you finally understood. I was just going along with the argument and when you started with the "I'm just thinking ahead when all "Infidels" have left..." I naturally progressed further down (or up?) the theoretical timeline.

Anyway, my apologies for the insults. I feel bad about having to stoop to that level just to get such an insignificant point across.

No worries man.
I think we both were a little frustrated and hot on the keyboard...

I think I need a tissue.

Or another moist towel.

Jesus fucking Christ who said you guys need to stop the fucking vitriol? Shall we all pop a few pills, tell stories about shit we can't remember saying 5 seconds ago just to feel fucking "empathy" and "closeness" to fucking one another, put each other's name in our fucking phones and realize only later that we'll either never fucking call each other and/or how the fuck that name and phone number got in my fucking address book in the fucking first place, and hope the sun never burns our fucking skin off when it comes up or something?

Fucking pussies.















Anyone ever try the Greg Norman Zinfandel? Pretty damn tasty. Really tasty. I really don't wanna fucking go to school tomorrow. I really don't wanna fucking wake up tomorrow for class. Fuck me.

I know this doesn't fit in with your rant, Opus, but I had some absinthe yesterday... I was feeling mighty lucid.
