Phil had organised to meet one of his mates at the RE last night, a guy who works on the rigs out at Roma, so he and I had plenty to talk about as it was ( Read more... )

I think that before you decide on what T-shirt to buy, you should move out of your mother's basement. All of your socially retarded, tight-mouthed, right-wing, fantasy videogame-obsessed friends should do the same. A change in diet and an increase in exercise would help you repugnant fuqhwads a great deal as well.

Really, there's nothing I could say to you to make you look more hateful,repulsive, stupid, ignorant and illogical than that little rant you just made. In fact, I think I'm going to link to it as an example of the moral and intellectual quality of a Hezbullah supporter; also to make you look like the a**hole you are to a wider audience. Thank you!

hahahha win. The little coward jordan182 deleted a comment of mine after I had him sputtering, and then banned me from commenting in his journal ever.

Neo-Con Chickenhawks like him are no better than the terrorists that they proclaim to be against.

I'm curious, as long as you are calling people chickenhawks, where and when was your military service?

That might explain it. If you had been deployed against such organizations and seen what they did, you wouldn't be so eager to support them.

I've done my share of duty, and you won't catch me rooting for the people deliberately blowing up women and children.

Personally I think the claims of the bombed wedding party were pure fiction. Remember that they are trained to lie, and the follow up reports I saw claimed it was not a wedding.

Also the third party reports I saw on the WP issue claimed that it wasn't a violation of the articles of war in the case where it was used. So I'm not so sure that it is as big of an issue as you are claiming. However I'm not going to claim it was totally innocent either because I haven't studied it in any detail.

Well the thing is there have been several bombed wedding parties. At least three that I remember. There were claims that one of those was actually taken over by the Taliban, who held them hostage and enticed the US to bomb them. But I don't think that was ever finalised. Or if it was the report didn't get released publically.

However there was one way back in either 2001 or early 2002 that was genuine, and a second one in November last year that seems may have been caused by tribal animosities - somebody reported to the Americans that Al Qaeda was meeting there, so the American flattened the building without even checking the intel (I guess because they had no way to check it ( ... )

Never said I supported Israel either, did I? Didn't even hint at Israel in fact. No, I mentioned Hezbollah, Hamas, and "such organizations". That was a false dichotomy on your part, there ( ... )

By "that'd be you" I was referring to the US military, not you personally. I was certainly not suggesting you personally attacked a wedding or a civilian of any kind, since I don't know anything about your service or even what you do. You could be a doctor mending wounded Afghan kids for all I know ( ... )

You would be referring to the Solomon islands.

You are aware that the US has numerous other involvements around the world that haven't resulted in civilian deaths, right? US soldiers, like Australian soldiers, have no say in what campaigns they take part in. They are just as likely to serve in Honduras as Iraq. Just as you were as likely to serve n Iraq as the Solomons.

I remind you, that your own country's soldiers have committed questionable acts as well: http://www.greenleft.org.au/2009/784/40398.

Given your own statements, and the facts as they stand, it is equally permissible for any of us here to call you a "baby killer". In fact, by your own cognition, Australia is just as evil as Hamas, since your troops have gunned down women and children as well.

That's an interesting position for you to take.

I actually wanted to address that in my comment above but it was getting too long. So I'm glad you brought it up ( ... )

Yes. A non-veteran who supports a war is a non-veteran who supports a war. A equals A.

Assuming that this makes the non-veteran's support for the war immoral, however, requires a leap of illogic.
