Pray for Iraq?

You think I'm sat on the fence? I think I've made my views pretty clear. I'm just wondering if there is a post anywhere on the BBS where you've actually contributed anything of note.

 

Well...as you're responding...

 

That's better.

 

Unless you are prepared to accept your share total responsibiity for all the sins of the world, and accept every conspiracy theory that conveniently blames the USA for everything that has ever gone wrong, you're sitting on the fence.

On this board anyway.

 

It is Good reading your views here gentlemen/ladies, just don't rip the **** out of each other (too much!); do you know, we don't know jack **** actually about really what happens why/at/is-it-real? Events like 9/11, etc.

It's a scary world--just try to enjoy it a bit (I'm trying to) but like a few on here there are some funny coincidences and questions that I would like to know the truth about, but do you know what, I think i never will find out, I/we won't be allowed to. If I may be so presumptuous to offer advice--let's concentrate on THE Reds, it's a great stress reliever wondering if we are going to get win the Paint Pot Trophy; and/or ZOOM up to the Championship. Good Night all, and a Happy Easter to everyone-sleep tight.

 

Are we still doing this shtick? 9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq being invaded other than it being a handy pretext for right wing military agendas. ISIS was formed by a Yemeni fighter who entered Iraq after the invasion. He worked with ex-Saddam military commanders who took the opportunity to embrace his ideas to recruit fighters to remove the US and overthrow the Iraqi government. I mean this is all well documented, but believe your historical revisionism if you must.

 

These are women in Iran as recently as 1971. No veils. Since the sixties radical Islam has worked to twist their religion into a hateful, oppressive means of dictatorship. Millions of Muslims worldwide believe that the punishment for apostasy should be death, and if you're going to kill an apostate why not any non-believer? I'm sure Western foreign policy hasn't helped, but until Islam is fundamentally changed they will always despise us no matter what. It's possible, the Muslim populations in Britain and elsewhere prove that, but the fanatics are so embedded into everything in the middle east it's going to take a long time to purge their toxic contamination of the Islamic faith.

 

Why does your tone have to be so smartarse?

Your assertions are only your own interpretation of the mess that is the Middle East. You know nothing more than you've read and put your own stamp on.

I have my own reading of all this, based upon what I've watched and read.

But it won't be superior to yours, except to me.

 

No it wouldn't , ask the kurds in his own country whom he systematically killed with his WMDs , ask Kuwait the country he invaded, ask Israel whom he attacked,
stop believing ***** on facebook lad

 

Are you referring to Abu Musab Al Zarqawi?

 

No it wasn't ISIS, they didn't exist then, aside from an ideological notion but it was another few years before they became a recognised group. There is an argument (a good one) to say that removing Saddam destabilised Iraq and created the vacuum to allow the forerunner to ISIS to prosper.

 

But the trouble is Andy Kuwait and Israel are part of the rest of the world and the United Nations were asked to do something about this tyrant who decided he would just take over , and what's to say he wouldn't have gone further. The world can never be a better place with tyrants like Sadman as the gaffer
Htfh

 

So you prefer a despotic meglomaniac in charge then?

Me too, if he keeps himself within his own boundaries.

But he didn't.

If only they all just sold us oil without all the religious crap that the disaffected want to export too.

 

If only we, as a ******* island, spent the same amount of money into utilising the natural energy available to us as we spend killing innocent people abroad in order to control their dirty energy sources

 

You're just posting bbs platitudes there.

I am not an expert on our island's natural resources though.

Am keen on fracking though. Are you?

 

No surprise there tbh.
Maybe you could get shares in one of the drilling company's ,you could help pay towards Adam Johnstone appeal as you feel so strongly about his injustice.

 

I'll help you out with our natural resources. The clue is in the island part. Water.

Tracking poisons land. Simple as that

 

Well it isn't as simple as that.

Mining causes subsidence. Yet everyone around here (including me) would have preferred it to continue.

btw "fracking poisons land" is another borrowed phrase which is supposed to trump all debate.

If fracking brought thousands of jobs (as did mining) to our area, do we say no?
