finally somebody with reason...

[quote] You just can't take it that the US has the sovereignty and strength to act alone. But has it got the competence?
-
[quote] Just my 2 cents of Euro from a frog that sings like a toad. LOL IMHO, Bush is going to put the US in a very awkward position, where it's waging a war throughout the world, without seeing it necessary to inform its allies, and it s…

[quote] You have thrown far more off-subject personal attacks around than roger_ramjet, if you wish to ascribe blame for this thread derailing then you need to look no farther than yourself. Suit yourself. I guess ScottH never used abusive langu…

[quote] Hmmm. The pipeline was not possible BECAUSE of the Taliban and yet the US chose not to intervene. Obviously the Afghan pipeline was no longer something that was being seriously pursued. And yet you make it central to the US's motives. From …

earlier in this thread I have pointed to evidence the US supported the taliban over other factions, most notably the Northern Alliance. As to my timeline in my previous post, it wasn't pinpoint accurate, I know, I was trying to make a point, not …

when you point at the sky, the idiot looks at the finger... you're living proof of that saying. I KNOW the pipeline was NOT possible. It was not possible BECAUSE of the taliban, the instability of the region etc. My initial point was that the …

[quote] I said that the way the US allies itself with stategicly important partners to make short-term millitary gains, could backfire in a major way later (i.e. Iraq). Very good point. The US tends to only see short-term benefit, in most of its…

[quote] Europe was internally outraged at the way the U.S. acted in regards to 9/11. Of course, the leaders gave tacit support, but that was a thinly-veiled sheepshow. They did agree on Article 5 of NATO, and nobody I know or heard of had the ba…

[quote] He knew Ahmed Shah Massoud personally and was so concerned when he heard he'd about the attack on Massoud that he scheduled an appointment to meet with the NSC. His appointment was for 2:30 in the afternoon of 9-11. Massood was already d…

[quote]I think instead your trying to state a defeatist point of view so as to make any US attempt seem heavy handed and doomed to failure. If the US thinks it can deal with it alone, then indeed it is bound to fail. An action of this scope req…

This is getting better. [quote] ou've said that we helped the Taliban (another spurious charge that I've never-the-less left alone) because we wanted to build a pipeline across Afghanistan. I pointed you to Congressional testimony that shows how…
-
[quote]Not so obvious to me. He's cavalier with the facts and happy to insist upon a series of spurious charges that are against this country. As far as I'm concerned you can say anything you want that calls into question to the reputation of the US…

The autor's name is Jean-Charles Brisard. I'm making the asumption he's french. Of course, only you would assume an aid to a senator is obviously american... [quote] Prosecution in the US? For a book? Who is being ridiculous? And I'm no la…

[quote]Prosecution in the US? For a book? Who is being ridiculous? I said perhaps, I'm making asumptions. If this book was shyte, it wouldn't have been featured in Le Monde.
-
[quote] I don't think the French hate us but clearly SYN does. He says things that aren't true and expects us to "buy into" his poorly researched fantasies. It's more than a little contemptible. I don't hate any nation, I'm not that short sighte…
-
[quote] Well, yes you are shitting us. Why would a book written by an ex CIA agent and an aid to a US Senator be written in French and not in English? Perhaps because those people were not competent enough to write a book of this scope and they …
-
[quote]Typical? Since when have I failed to come back. If you want to speed me on my was proved a link to a book in english. Why? Are books in french not relevant? Are you so brain-washed that not only do you want the references, the author being…
-
[quote]Seriously, do you think if something like 9/11 or a direct attack happened to one of our (US) allies we would just sit twiddling our thumbs singing "doodoodoo duhroo doodoodoo duhroo....". That's not what I'm saying. However, historicall…

that's quit typical of ScottH. First denial, then when presented with proof, he walks on to some other subject. [quote] The U.S. is still the most important nation in the world, despite this. What other nation spends so much time in foreign medi…
