B. Israel did not win any of its wars on its own. The Allies did infact help arm the Israelis in the War of independence and it did not win any others on its own either. It is common knowledge that Israel depends on the Foriegn aid that it is given. C. The Sinai is infact a deserted waste land it doesn't have much going for it except the canal that links the red S and the Med S. I haven't heard about the Soviets getting involved in that area thats interesting never heard about that. Just proves we all learn something knew every day. Send me an offical link about this I wanna read about this. D. When I said I hope Israel gets theirs I meant I hope the US wakes up and realizes that Israel is commiting horrific war crimes and is able to get away with it ! did u hear that a few months ago they blew up a clearly marked UN food storage building for the Palestinians and nothing happened !!! Did u think I meant I hope Israel gets nuked and gassed my god thats horrible I didn't mean it like that jesus I hope that isn't what everyone thinks I must seem like Hitler 2 You know Israel's main political claim to that land is the Balfour declaration and they clearly violate that ! Foreign Office November 2nd, 1917 Dear Lord Rothschild, I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet. "His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by **** in any other country." I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation. Yours sincerely, Arthur James Balfour Well Israel seems to be ignoring a large part of that to me. Not to mention the Geneva convention and human right policies. E. America's claim to Texas comes from texas's decesion to be annexed into the union... well maybe pressured in 1945 otherwise the Mexicans would have reconquered Texas. Luckily we fought them back from 1946-1948 okay here's a rough history of Israel I'm pretty sure these dates are right but there from the top of my head 1800BCE Abraham leads the Hebrews from Babylon to Canaan the promised because Abraham was told by god if they worshiped him that Abraham and the Hebrews could live in Canaan (first part of old testament I believe) 1300BCE big drought in Canaan and so the Hewbrews go to Nile where they are enslaved by the Egyptians 1200BCE Moses and the exodus lead the people from Egypt back to Canaan and gets the 10 commandments on top of mount Sinai (but it could have been 15 !!!) this is there first period of leave it was 100 years 1025-930BCE David and son Solomon make Israel strong but then Solomon dies and Israel divides into 12 tribes 722BCEAssyrians the empire bathed in blood and first to use Iron weapons conquers Israel which is rebuilt only to be conquered by the Neo Babylonians in 586 BCE who are then conquered by the Persians 540 BCE or so. This is the time when the Torrah was written so the Jewish traditions could be preserved. They were conquered twice good thing they still felt like the land was theirs until... The great revolt against the Roman Occupation of Canaan in 70 BCE where the romans say and conquer Israel scattering the **** across the world also called the diaspora. the land was held by many different Empires after this until the beginning of the Zionist movement in 1881 where the immagration begins. They created a "defense" foce called the Hagganah which really seem like Jewish terrorist to me. After WWI right after the collapse of the Ottomon Empire which had competely united the Middle east but was already dieing before WWI. The British sent the Balfour declaration which is posted above. the immgration continued through the 3rd 4th and 5th aliyot and about 330,000 more **** arrive in palestine. After world War II the world was horrified at what hitler had done so it was decided that the **** should have a homeland where they could finally escape persucution. 1947CE the UN partition plan which would have made two separate states an Israel and Palestine but the War of Independence screwed that up ! is created but is no taccepted by Arab countries for 2 reasons 1) no arab countries were allowed to help make the plan 2) Palestine would have been a bunch of Islands within Israel. 1948CE-1973CE many wars against Arab countries all of which are won be Israel and the rest of the Allies. 1976CE Egypt and Israel make peace Sadat, Begin. Israel gives up the Sinai and in return Egypt gets 1 billion a year from US because Egypt was in bad shape from declaring war on Israel so much. 1987CE the first infitada 1993CE Oslo Peace agreement between Yassir Arafat and Rabin. The plan was that Israel was going to hand over land section by section. When Rabin was assasinated in 1994 the plan didn't work as well. This leads us all here as you can see Israel did leave the land for 1900 years and was able to call it its own mostly because the world backed them up out of simpathy otherwise the idea probauly would have been considered ludicrous ! F. see Bohica not everyone is an ignorant asshole who doesn't have their facts right I do know some. Don't attack my school or academics you bastard. and the Bitch thing was meant to be joke to take away from the tone of seriousness from an issue.

OMG, I need to start a post that we all sit around and talk about sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll or something.
I like the wall Idea. Secure our boarders and fuck the rest of the world. No one will agree about what really is going on so there is no point in talking about it, just arguments.... What I cannot get is the bitter hatred for the USA. But I guess its the same as who ever the president is and no matter how well he does most of us will always blame shit on him. The the rest of the world, or the people on forums, etc, always have to have SOMEONE to flame. Thats the answer. The USA is the Flame Target for the world? Sorta like a Rev posting jacked up on coke if ya know what I mean. |

You should all join the military. I remember when I was in the Army. I was in basic and I looked around and said to myself... "If these are the fools I have to go to war with... I'm one dead motherfucker."
Like the rest of the world, the Army has a few bright members and a lot of idiots. Think of it this way. Most people who join the military had nothing else going for them and I mean nothing. You don't even need a GED to get into the Army. You don't need a brain to be given a gun. Ever notice how many people died from friendly fire in desert storm? Think about it. Having a military family I can safely say all the smart people joined the Air Force. The Air Force actually has decent standards. At least one Army soldier dies every ten days on Fort Hood. Ultimatly it is their stupidity that kills them or it is the ignorance of another GI Joe. They truely are their own worst enemies. Let me just break everything down real quick. The US government does whatever it wants anytime it wants. The people of the US really don't have a choice in the matter. We're just as fucked as the rest of you. Yeah we can vote but electorial votes are what matter and politicians are corrupt. I've learned a few things about living in the US. -Polotic are crap. Dead simple right? -The news is 90% negative and the other 10% is BS. The weatherman, with all his technology, can't predict worth shit. -You pay taxes everyday but you'll never have a balanced budget. -The #1 export of the US is Bullshit. We give it to everyone and then people wounder why no one trusts anyone. -The US is morally and ethically dead. Unless it becomes bad ploblicity.

No matter who the president is, or what the president does, he will be blamed for everything bad that happens to the country. And that is simply because he cannot please all the people, all the time. You do one thing, you piss off these guys. You do another, you piss off THESE guys. Where does it end? News flash, It don't.
Another thing. This may come as a shock to some of you, but contrary to what you may beleieve, the U.S. doesn't just go around looking to pick fights. We get involved in wars because our allies are involved in war. And this whole thing with Iraq. Sadam will kill his whole damn country unless we help them. This isnt just about helping Isreal anymore, its to prevent a f*cking genicide. Sorry if this sounds like a flame or anything. Its late, I'm tired, and its been a long day

This may come as a shock to you, but America does use strong arm tactics to protect American financial interests overseas.

That being said... 2) I didn't realize you worked for the CIA or British Intel.... I don't either but if we say we have intelligence then until we have proof wether we have any or not we should believe them.... We the average Joe are not privy to that info and we shouldn't be. Tony Blair went on television and said the HAVE evidence of and Iraqi connection to Al Queda... but no direct link to 9-11. That tells me the Saddam linked up with him after the 9-11 attacks.... or he just didn't provide any tracable leads connecting him to the 9-11 attacks. 3) I would buy the revenge arguement.... but there is one problem.... I will quote websters dictionary.. Revenge: n 1) an act of or instance of retaliating in order to get EVEN. So you see it can't be revenge.... we WON the Gulf War.. Saddam defeated Bush victorious..... so what would their possibly be revenge for? The fact is that we "allowed" Saddam to live at the end of the war. |

I usually tend to stay away from these types of debates but a) I'm bored and b) someone needs to infuse some sort info that will either add to the debate or completely kill it off somehow.
1. The current oil available to us will last 30-50 years according to scientists that have testified before Congress. Obviously lawmakers are aware of this fact so it has to have some affect on their decisions about the Middle East. Even if new sources are found it will only be sufficient to account for the increased amount of energy usage during that time period. 2. Osama bin Laden has two main complaints against us: 1. Get out of Saudi Arabia and 2. Stop supporting Israel. Conveniently enough Saddam Hussein wouldn't mind either of these two things happening. Kind of makes you wonder what would happen if we did leave and Hussein invaded and took over Saudi Arabia, considering the next bit of info. 3. bin Laden is Shi'ite Muslim (this is the form of Islam which Washington lawmakers are scared of because they are considered more radical). Saddam Hussein is technically a Sunni Muslim although he is more or less a godless person. 4. The U.S. put Hussein in power (not after Desert Storm, long before that) and armed him just like it was responsible for Noriega, bin Laden, and the Somozas. 5. bin Laden's family owns and operates a large construction firm in the Middle East, do you really think they're going to care that much if more buildings get blown up and/or destroyed? |

The US is the most powerful nation in the world. We would win a war against any one country, even if we couldnt survive atacking the entire world. We get pulled into wars because our allies go to war/get attacked. The reason we don't win every conflict is because of the god damned polocy of "limited war" that was started with the Korean War. We try to force agressors back into their privious place, but not further. These Cold-War tactics will not work in modern conflicts.
We have the power, we should use it resposibly to protect our intrests. Protecting other peoples intrests costs us money and lives, but it gains us allies that will help us prevent the loss of money and lives. Unfortuneatley, the UN is made up of a bunch of very small(relitively speaking) countries that want to exert their combined power over the US in an effort to enhance their own interests. I say that we should continue trade and world contact, but remove ourselves from the UN. Isreal, Britain, Canada, and some other countries have been solid allies to us, and we should help them, but the rest of the world is just jealous of or success through freedom while their socialized systems cannot keep pace. If they get pissed at us for leaveing the UN, let them show their true collors and atack us. Offencively, we couldn't defeat them all, but defenceively they couldn't defeat use either, and they would come out the worst because many of them are dependent on our traid and charity. Bring it on, you try to take Texas, you'll have a hell of a time. Most of us are armed down here.
