Top military comander in Iraq, contradicts Dixie!

and of course your opinion counts. Just don't try to pass off your opinion as fact and we will get along like great pals....some of my best friends in the real world are republicans....but if you look at Oly Snowe or Susan COllins, you gotta know that we grow republicans up here a bit differently than the rest of the country. ;)

hezbollah is a "terrorist" organization which was started up in Lebanon by shiites impressed with the Iranian shiite theocratic revolution led by Khomeni.

They gained lots of adherents after Israel invaded and occupied Lebanon in '82. they do not share the same goals as AQ.... and we need to recognize that.

the photo, by the way, is of me standing on the top of Cheops at daybreak with Kefron in the background and it was taken by my friend and fellow UN military observer,George Casey who climbed the great pryamid with me one morning in '82 to watch the sunrise.

I've been to Egypt too, does that prove I was a UN observer?

I'm not saying that you weren't or that I don't believe you, but vacationing in Egypt doesn't prove that you were a UN Observer in Lebanon.

First tell me why I need to recognize this? Then tell me how their views differ on America, the rest is rubbish as it does'nt matter to me.

how can any of us PROVE anything. Do you want me to scan my DD 214 and upload it for you?

I was an LCDR, USN on detached duty as an UNMO assigned to USMOG/UNTSO in '81-82. If you want proof, just let me know.

but then I'll need proof that you don't have a cunt.

Like I said, I believe you. However you stated earlier your avatar was "proof"... Well you implied it. "Look at my Avatar, I was a UN Observer... etc."

My point wasn't to say I didn't believe you, just that the picture wasn't proof...

Sorry, I'm sounding more factional than I am tonight. I'm going to have to read my posts twice before posting.

Oh the hostilites! you were really a UNMO? speaking of cunts, why do you think things are a little harder for Israel at the moment? because the worthless UNMO failed to be worthy of anything other than a fart in the wind over there!

their scope is more limited. They do not have the global vision that would require striking American targets. they are not the same as the guys who attacked us... and THAT is what matters to ME.

I loved my time in Lebanon. It gave me insight and perspective...I am not a big fan of the UN and I think that just last week they were totally to blame when the four UNMOs were killed at OP Khiam.... so don't think we are all that far apart on our views of the UN.
 
No no no....a guy standing in front of what looks like a picture of a pyramid while holding an American flag is clearly solid evidence.

Hmm, did'nt the sheik nezrollah or whatever he is called claim to be reaching into America to strike? sounds like a pretty wide scope to me! Seriously though radical limited or not, they all need to be wasted!

Culturally learning is cool, never has been a complaint of mine, I feel badly as the next guy for the inncocents killed their but we all know the majority of that blame lies with what you call the government org over there.

Hezbollah seeks to recreate the Khomeni miracle in Lebanon. Al Qaeda seeks to consume all political subdivisions from the med to the indian ocean and create one large islamic caliphate. their goals are different. Hezbollah does not feel compelled to fly airplanes into american buildings because we have troops near mecca.

does everyone else find it as odd as I do that Dixie has yet to appear on this thread and defend his previous rosy scenarios?
Click to expand...

Honestly? No. I think if Dixie saw a thread attacking him he'd be more than willing to spin the topic away from the facts until he gets into a pissing match about:

a) Language. I.e. "terrorizing" does or does not make one a "terrorist."

b) Reality (News reports, generals comments, and reality be damned. Saying our troops entered civilian homes in the dead of night is libelous.)

c) Tight jeans.

Hmmm 13 years of defiance from Iraq, what ever should of been done? I guess it would be better to be fighting the insurgency here right? Oh I see, had we not invaded Iraq there would never of been any insurgents there right, they just turn on the terrorist mentality depending on the situation?

The entire middle east is littered with the radicals thanks to many years of appeasment from the left wingers that felt they could be ignored!:rolleyes:

you're about 18 months behind on your talking points.

Nobody here besided dixie and toby find your stale talking points justifying your war even remotely credible.

Superb comeback brother! so how about those 13 years of wasted UN sanctions, how about fighting terrorism abroad as opposed to hear at home, how about attacking my opinion with something with a little more substance?
Click to expand...
Actually, those "wasted" sanctions appear to have worked. I think that they were poorly implemented and brought too much suffering on the Iraqi people but they DID eliminate the stockpiles of prohibited weapons.

That's right, Bubbi: the U.N. and not Dubya got rid of Saddam's WMD's.

Oh? Then why are the far right wingnuts so dead set against the U.N.? Seems to me they wouldn't hate it so much if your thesis were correct.
