Ramius Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 It's actually pretty good discourse, Ramius. You just have to eliminate the name calling and you've got insightful discussions at a pretty high level. Much higher than I find at a business meeting or round of golf. 376509[/snapback] I've read some of it and yes you guys do have some lively debates with some valid points...and some ones i still cant understand (cough...mickey....cough) my point was that we were discussing the attacks from a news standpoint, and thats what i was looking for...but it turned into a poiltical debate, which isnt what i was looking for...not tryin to belittle anyone here, just sayin that it was insightful to read nick's comentary without the debate...

GG Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 CNN Thingy You would think that they could shorten their name just a little. 376542[/snapback] One of the analysts on MSNBC said he doubted the credibility of this group because on the original web posting they had an erroneous reference in the Quran, which is improbable for AQ.

Of course those actions are okay, but damn if anyone should call them out for it. Are you an ACLU lawyer who defended the rights of that killer/rapist in Idaho, just so the big bad government didn't make him stay in jail where he could rape little boys and girls?

Mickey Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Could it be that everyone who's involved in the GWOT has steadfastedly said that the process will take a long, long, long time and many more terrorist attacks will occur in the meantime? No one who is directly working in this arena has dismissed diplomacy as a major avenue to win this war, along with strong military encoursions in key areas. If anything, you continue to demonstrate the reactionary naivete that if terrorists succeed in one of potentially dozens of attempts, then our efforts are failing. If you go around the board calling people stupid for not understanding your post, perhaps you can work a bit better on making a cogent point from the start. 376480[/snapback] Why don't you read the sarcastic reply that comment was in response to before giving advice? If you are going to be critical of that kind of thing, at least be fair about it and recognize who fired the first shot. I don't think pointing out the long, long history of military operations failing to stop terrorism is either reactionary or naive. Perhaps worse is the pollyannish belief that military operations will work, everything is just hunky-dory and the insurgency is in its "last throes". The idea that military operations will not stop terrorism is supported by way too much evidence, historical and contemporary, to categorize it as a reactionary view based just on todays events. My main point that military operations won't stop terrorism and ultimately, a political solution will be necessary is not just my own view. The US military seems to agree hence their willingness to meet with insurgency leaders and to incorporate them, if they are willing, into the political process in Iraq. If you read back throught the posts, you will see that my initial observation was just that and the response it engendered was accusations of appeasment, abandonment of Israel and similar crap.

IDBillzFan Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 CNN Thingy You would think that they could shorten their name just a little. 376542[/snapback] This is brilliant. No way the world will want to fight these guys because their name is way too freakin' long. Here's what I loved best from the article in quoting the Grand United group of Douchebag al Qaeda Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose radical group.

Why not toss in a few "tax and spend", "free love" or "activist judge" references to slam it home how insightful the debates are around here?

But you don't even bother with return sarcasm, Mick. You go straight to "You're stupid because you don't agree with me." How can anyone with so much to say have so little ability to effectively say it? You remind me of Let'sGoBuffalo. You couldn't have a conversation with him either without the first thing coming out of his skull being "Well you're a !@#$ing moron for thinking that way." Great, Mick. You and LGB.
