5 Years Later -- Are we any safer (A soldiers thoughts)

I haven't looked and I don't need to. It was an unprovoked attack on U.S. soil. I don't need a dictionary or a Googled source for me to know that that is terrorism.

 

Bin Laden declared war and then attacked a military target.

Not exactly what i'd call terrorism. Terrorism is an attack on unarmed civilians.

I suppose you think every person who fights our military in Iraq is a terorrist right? Maybe from now on, throughout our entire future, we can just call anyone who we fight with terrorists, it's good propaganda

 

It was a provoked attack on a military target in YEMEN.

Perhaps you need to learn how to read about events before you start spewing out false propaganda that fits your agenda?

 

I find them more appropriate to descrbe your posts.

It is what it is.

There were ties between Iraq and al qaida, which is my argument. Accept it, along with the facts I've presented, or try to twist the words into saddam ordering the attacks, which no one has argued. You do see a difference, don't you? Or are you having an "ignorant" moment?

There are ties betwee saddam and al qaida. It is an overall war on terrorism. Do I think we will be safer if we bomb a few other countries? I don' think we need to We're safe, now, much to your dismay. Too bad for you

 

The US has done many great things. The invasion of Iraq is the only current policy that I have an issue with, the sooner Bush goes out of power the better.

Is there any US foriegn policy that you disagree with?

 

*yawns* you are stuck on a word aren't ya? As I said, you can quibble over a word all you want. I call it terrorism, the government calls it terrorism. You can call it an act of war. I don't give a crap; what you call it. But you can keep looking silly IF you want to

 

The government also calls empty trailers "mobile chemical wmd labs" ... do you really want to go there?

 

Your buds would be proud of you! I haven't seen you defend terrorists like this in almost a month!

So I was correct, you are defending terrorists again. Who would have thought?

 

Good God, man. Ok, just because you are clinging so desparately to a definition (that is oh-so-wrong) I did a quick Google search for something that will (hopefully, but probably not) shut you up:

From the Congressional Research Service at the Library of Congress:

Terrorist Attack on USS Cole
news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/crs/coleterrattck13001.pdf

That, alone, is more than enough to debunk your petty little assumption that the attack on the USS Cole was not a terrorist attack.

Seriously, next time you come with a source, try to make it a good source and not one filled with Jew-hating articles like the one you posted.

 

Still defending them, eh? You're too easy, yo. You seemingly give a pass for Al Qaida attacking a "military" target, then go after the government in the next post. Such a good little puppy, you are.

 

One more time: A ship with the designation "U.S.S." IS American soil. I spent 8 years in the U.S. Navy. This is a fact. As for the rest of your flawed rhetoric, I addressed it in my above post.

 

Not any I'm aware of. Though you are welcome to list all foreign policies and I'll be happy to read through them all and see. You never know

 

Not to mention the embassies that were bombed. That is US soil as well

 

Perhaps there is a clause for infidels to get virgins after all?

 

Even I can do that Gtech. We shouldn't give foreign aid to countries that act against our interests or put down our policies. I am against that

 

I think yo is working for that 10% bonus special (80 virgins, for the price of 72)

 

I'm not defending anyone. I'm just calling it what it was. An attack on our military. Which wasn't an attack on US SOIL (and for dumber's sake, US SOIL is meant LITERALLY).

 

Maybe the USS Cole had some dirt from the US on it. Would that make it worse in your eyes?

 

Your missing the entire point.

Our shit being blown up in the middle east has nothing to do with how safe we are AT HOME IN OUR COUNTRY.

 

A U.S.S. IS LITERALLY United States soil. How many times do I have to tell you that? It is not figuratively. It isn't imagined. A ship is an extension of the country whose flag it flies. Any U.S.S. is American soil. Get that through your head and get past it.
