Kingbee, either that or theres a flaw in your theory. It's a steal from a Southpark episode, I'll explain it if you like! Given that you think my theory flawed, am I to assume that if you are male you have a small penis? yechydda,

Kingbee, hopefully im not the first american who's thanking you for not losing faith in us. im sure i wont be the last.. There's one good thing that can come from this, and that's a bit of soul searching by the US. It has deceived itself into thinking that it can do no wrong, and in a
Sir Peter, Good show old boy! Let us raise a toast to our brave British troops in Iraq. Rule Brittania, Brittania rules the waves, Britons never will be slaves! Ah yes. The Empire. I remember it well dear chap. Those uppity gum chewing Americans forget that we used to run the world be
Kingbee, im in total agreement with everything youve said (well except for the 'not the brightest part' hahahah) Well I have to shove a little anti-Americanism in there, after all I am a snooty European that thinks we're naturally superior to the Yankee in every capacity! Except for p
Dear all, Those that have read me in the past will know that I thoroughly disapprove of the poorly planned, immoral and criminally incompetent schoolboy adventure in Iraq. Sadly everything that I predicted has come to pass, as any half-witted poorly educated idiot with just enough brain cells to scrape over a very thin wafered water biscuit cou
Flowers, They did this and we did that. This is nothing new Absolutely. Such moral relativism only serves to underscore mans inhumanity to man once we abandon the law and <TD class="
Kingbee, so hope hes correct but not in the sense of his statement. I cannot speak for his intent naturally, but I think an awful lot of people, trying to understand the abuse of other human beings at the hands of the US (and supposedly the British, which is ironic), are eraching the conclusio
In the first part of this series I examined how the deliberate disregard for the law in the US was directly responsible for the abuse, humiliation, torture and murder of helpless prisoners in its charge, from Afghanistan to Iraq to Guatanamo.
Wisefawn this was hilarious!! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Now like Mr.Frog and other creatures of the furry forest, can I interest you in a free course to learn how to be Welsh for a mere 3,000 Llollars? Just send me the address of your favourite grazing ground, and I will handle
Mr.Frog, Cool! Thanks for the lesson. I wasn't too far off in pronouncing it 'yeck-yid-uh' Actually that's quite close indeed. Congratulations, I award you the title of honorary Welshman, novice level. Now, what you need to do to graduate to the next level, initiate into the h
Shade, Listen Valleyboyabroad--I am not making excuses for what happened. I think it is sick and the perpetrators need to be dealt with--all the way up to Rumsfled if that's necessary. I agree with this. The fact that Rumsfeld sat on this and didn't see fit to either read the entire r
Shade, I'd prefer if you would not insult me. And I notice you didn't respond to my critic of your sources. I find it funny that you have made a number of assumptions about where I stand, and they are all wrong! Yes I did. Go back and read the response. <TABLE cellpadding=8 w
'Okay there General Fuckup.' 'Morning Mr.President sir!' 'At ease soldier, now what's all this ah hear about our boys in Eye-rack having a little well deserved R&R?' 'Uh, you probably mean the torturing sir' 'Torture General? What's that then Fuckup?' 'Uh, when we attach electrodes to someones genitals sir, or beat them to
Shades, You are not in the US, correct? Correct, I am currently in Thailand travelling. Everyone (media, bush administration, congress, people walking down the s
Shades, That's nothing new. They've been using that law for years to detain "suspected" members of the IRA. They can hold the suspect for 7 days without charges. I should have been more accurate, the chanegs made to the prevention of terrorism act or more precisely the Anti-terrorism, Crime a
Larry, It happened during Vietnam as well. A culture of torture and disregard for basic human rights grew in the military like a cancer.I recently heard a news caster refer to "the invisible enemy," a phrase that invoked thoughts of "that dirty little war" in Southeast Asia. When you fight guerilla forces, the line betwe

Nuke, Good to see you here! It is an interesting point of view blaming the actions of the US soldiers on the lawlessness of the government. Have you ever read 'the Art of War'? A similar idea comes up in the factors that influence the outcome of a war. There is a concept called roughly 'moral law', it is somewha
Kingbee, i know of two people (friends of friends) who are in the final stages of being deported. one is a woman who was born of american parents on a us military base in germany where her father was stationed. her citizenship has been revoked (something i never knew was possible). the basis for revocation is a drug poss
The horrific photographs released over the last few days that have stunned the entire world mark a new depth to which the reputation of the US has sunk. With promises of more and worse evidence of systematic abuse, torture and murder to come , it is no exaggeration to say that the war which the US was always struggling to win has now irredeemably been lost..<
Muggaz, His name is Brad, Draginol is his screen name. So along with Corios addition of Frogboy, am I to take it that his full name is Brad the Frogboy Draginol? Hmmm. Quite a ring to that.! yechydda,
Mr Frog BTW, what is yechydda? I've been trying to figure it out, but I just can't...P.S. - I'm adding you to my blog roll. yechydda is a corrupt form of the Welsh word for 'Cheers!' It's a litte more phonetically written. It is pronounced yeck-eee-dah. There, now you
Jelvis, Chiang Mai is much calmer and a bit friendlier, I think. Thanks. If you have any tips or 'must see' places to go, I'd be greateful for the information. The streets of Patpong are something else indeed! yechydda,
Wreckless, Considering the multitude of things Brad has going on in his business life, I hardly think he has "slunk off" anywhere... give it time. Don't worry, I did make that point to Muggaz, <TR
Gerry, I am sure they said the same thing about Vietnam....history has a habit of repeating itself, us humans are remarkably slow learners Did you read the original article? I made exactly this point there. yechydda,
