Kingbee, I should be heading for Chiang Mai on Tuesday. There is some incredible stuff to buy here, and so damned cheap. If you ever come to Thailand, just come in the clothes your wearing, and when you get here, buy two big suitcases and fill em up! yechydda,
Bushfan, You are a idiot! That should be 'an idiot'. Still, I'm deeply offended by the rapier like wit with which you have devastated my core arguments. I feel extremely foolish at the intellectual strength of your put-down of the article. No wonder you wish to stay
Kingbee, . sure it would be rather humbling to have the marines put his statue back up on their way out but... Well that alone made me chuckle! Thanks for the info. yechydda,
We're all stuck in a hierarchy where the strongest rules, right? Might is right, ignorance is strength and if you disagree I'll punch your lights out. For millennia people have lives in a subservient way bowing down to some superior or other. People need to be ruled, they cannot imagine a life without it, force is good. Violence pro
Muggaz, I just thought that Daginol had slunk off from the argument, so I thought I'd bring it out into the open. He may just have been busy of course, or forgotten, but to claim that the sole objective of invading Iraq was to remove Saddam was such a peach that I couldn't resist it. quote]I often find myself asking, why doesn't the US go around and remove all the crazy despots in power!!! I mean, that is their ultimate goal??? <
In the post 'Vietnam and Iraq - a comparison, Daginol stated the following: 'Uh, do you even know why we're in Iraq ? Why we invaded? To remove Saddam Hussein. He's gone. Victory has long been achieved. The mission as acco
Dcarst, Isn't it amazing that many millions in taxpayers money were invested in prosecuting the last president for lying about getting a blowjob from his intern...meanwhile the thought of prosecution/ impeachment hasn't even been raised for an administration who engaged in an illegal preemptive war, lied to the world, go
Kingbee, as bill mahr pointed out when suggesting the coalition turn the country over to saddam on its way out...he's rested, he's tan and he's ready. There's an element of truth in all this you know! Seriously! After the first gulf war, Bush the elder realised that lacking a
'General Fuckup with the latest sitrep from Eye-rack Mr President Sir!' ‘Hey, Fuckup! Don’t stand on ceremony call me Chimp, everybody else does! Can’t think why. Eeeek! <FONT face=Geneva,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-
Dcarst, The same thing is going on in Iraq. No matter how many troops we throw in there, if insurgents want to blow up roadside bombs and ambush convoys more Americans are going to keep dying. And no matter how long we stay and no matter how many insurgents we kill there will always be more to take their places. </T
Kingbee, and other sources close to the administration to conclude the point was a stabilization of the middle east by rebuilding iraq in our image and likeness. What has actually been achieved is the opposite. Saudi Arabia reformists and pro-demovracy advocates have been effectively
Kingbee, i dunno if youll find this cuz its sorta after the fact. why are you in thailand (if you dont mind disclosing that)? Well I'm sort of travelling around the world at the moment, and it's quite simple I've never been to Asia. I've spent the last six months in Australia and New
Draginol, I'm "right wing" on this issue and my reasons for going into Iraq have not changed. What I do not uderstand is why being right wing means that you necessarily approve of illegally invading and occupying Iraq. I knwo of many right wing people that did not and do not support this war i
Corio, btw, forgot to say....nice article valleyboyabroad! Thankyou. I'm currently travelling through Thailand, heading up towards Laos and the Vietnam, The story about Diem Bein Phu is uppermost in the regions mind with the anniversary coming up on the 7th. What str
Draginol, As this article makes clear, people like me were arguing for the removal of Saddam before the war. I'm certainly not trying to argue that your own personal reason for justifying the invasion of Iraq was other than to simply remove Saddam full stop. But it is int
Draginol, Uh, do you even know why we're in Iraq? Why we invaded? To remove Saddam Hussein.He's gone. Victory has long been achieved. The mission as accomplished a year ago. It's interesting to see that you actually believe that this was simply about removing Saddam, you've certainly been suc
Dear all, This week, hundreds of Vietnam veterans will make their way to the small town of Dien Bien Phu to remember their fallen comrades. Dien Bien Phu was the site of a seminal battle, a battle that was to signal the end of the French empire the world over. It was fought between the Viet Minh and the French, and recieves little attention
this Gallup poll from June 2003 shows that the majority of US Americans at this time still believed Saddam would have weapons of mass destruction. http://www.gallup.com/content/login.aspx?ci=8623so who misled them? the liberal media if it was not the US government? i could swear i saw Colin Powell trying to present false evidence
Sir Peter, No relation to Robert I trust. Or wouldn't, especially not with my pension money. Please explain further, these people have blue teeth? What a strange bunch they are. You said it. One of the things that I noticed on my travels in Australia, Sydney in parti
Dharma, ..you know, I have this mental image of you looking a sounding a little like Rhys Ifans in 'Notting Hill'. Sorry. Sorry? Why, I consider that a complement of the highest degree! Glad you enjoyed it. yechydda,
Gothic, 'Allo darling', Joe grunts in his deep bass voice, as small bald sweaty man realises too late, that the only people seeking random sex with stangers on commuter trains are, well, other men.LMAO ... The image of the look of horror on his face !!!Great article. I don't know whether you ev
Muggaz, I liked this one It would be a great marketing campaign... Sex sells, and idiots beleive anything...BAM!!! Praise indeed! There's an element of truth in the article also, apparently the upwardly mobile gay community (or those that have handhelds - why do I always snigger w
Kermit, Just like on the Internet, where all the "hotties" whose a/s/l are 22/f/Los Angeles are actually 45/m/in their skivvies, balding and downing another quart of Ben and Jerry's. Really? And how would you know then eh? Eh? Hmmm. I've got my on you oh webbed footed
King bee, Glad you liked it. I must confess, I, er own a bluetooth hand held device. But I'm currently in Thailand so I haven't been able to try it out with regard to pulling the opposite sex! yechydda,
Mason, Iraq had the largest military force in the Middle East and were feared by the other Middle Eastern countries...Taking down the "biggest guy" sends a powerful message to the others. How on earth did you figure this one out? Even in the first gulf war Iraq had a rag-tag army
