"Personal offense"? Gee, I'm crushed. (Attila, you wrote such a nice rant about fascist Amerika...then decided to be "offended" when your predictable hot button was pressed: any criticism of the military and any cheering of its defeats. So predictable.)
No, Tim, not predictable --your cheers are misplaced. Amerika is fascist at best; we do not have the government my ancestors, and probably yours, fought to create 222 years ago. today's Federal Hamiltonian style central government does not qualify as a republic, at best it is a plutocracy. No, my objection is _where_ you place your cheers. we need to bring down the fascists, not kill our fighting men, most of whom still believe in America the Beautiful, not the cesspool you and I and the rest know it has become. we almost had a military arrest of Clinton for treason in his first term, but a number of key generals and admirals were killed. turn your cheers at American defeats into jears to the heart of the problem in Washington. I'm not advocating a sapper, but somebody better wake the serfs.
Eggs have to be broken to make omelettes
yes, but there is an unlimited supply of eggs in the minds of the politicians; they'll go on until they are gone, then shrug their shoulders and say: "we tried...." if the US suffers some really significant defeat, that will be the excuse for martial law and we will see more than the Admirality flag flying in every U.S. courtroom (courtesy of FDR and 08 Mar 33). If we run out of eggs, we will be overrun; and I may post a significant historical document, overlooked by all but a few, on that point. Amerika is fast heading towards moral bankruptcy because "it feels good" --just like the dog who licks his balls because he can.
aircraft carriers have to be sunk (my fondest wish for Operation Wag the Dog),
5,000 men to teach a whoring asshole like Clinton what? if Saddam, or friends, sinks a carrier, the asshole will nuke the middle east while every Joe Couch Potato screams for blood --then what?
War is hell. Nothing new there.
never was and never will be. and war should be avoided at all costs. if the US was a good friend overseas instead of the greedy bastards and manipulators they have been most of this entire century, every country in the world would not hate the U.S. --except maybe the Brits. Amerika has destabilized close to 90% of the world governments at one point of another in this century, including the Labour government preceding Thatcher. check the list of foreign policy failures in the mideast which I just posted. the American fools put every one of the now anti-US bastards in power: Syria, Iraq, Libya, Jordon, and previously Iran, Egypt, and Lebanon. Britain kicked the Palestinians off the land they farmed since the diaspora --almost 2,000 years, and now the U.S props up both Israel and the PLO (half-heartedly, which is more than the rest of the Arabs do for Arafat, other than noise). The most stupid action after world war 2 was to permit Britain to establish Israel --only exceeded by our stupidity of continuing to support a pig like Bibbi. Amerika has made so many enemies overseas with its Pax Americana policies that we do not have enough soldiers to be the world's policemen --and we should never have been in that position in the first place, except Amerika has always been the home of the free --the freedom to rape, pillage, and burn your fellow man, particularly if they are someplace else.
To _not_ want the U.S. to be taught a lesson just because it means some soldiers must die as part of the lesson (else there is no lesson, of course) is to let the USG do anything it wants.
no, the issue is to rectify the situation at the root: the cesspool. everyone one of us, regardless of our beliefs, is responsible for the meglomaniacs in our government. if those of us with supposed intelligence can not get Joe Couch Potato off his ass --whose fault is it? Clinton will get them off their collective asses if an aircraft carrier goes down --even if he scuttles it.
Get used to it. When Johhnie or Hans or Sergei goes to war, he may die. And perhaps because of Cypherpunks technologies. All part of the scheme of things.
doesn't need to be... I am too well aware of what I have contributed first in black ops and then in technology until I got smart enough 20+ years ago to refuse any direct military work. even so, it does not help withholding (but it feels good); high-tech only kills more with less effort.
Tim gets to say his piece,
and we get to lump it --or lump Tim.
Another empty threat from Attila?
no, Tim, not at all, just a cheap pun! someday maybe I'll even be creative enough to coin a new "Dew Drop Inn" I'll defend to the death your right to say whatever you wish; obviously, I also reserve the right to bitch! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 Comment: No safety this side of the grave.
