America's can't-do list

Re: America's can't-do list

wrong... the best & most misused military.

Wrong and wrong...the semantics do not matter....

Facts actually matter: Americans are murdering thousands on innocent people, occupying other countries (over 60 I believe) that did not start any kind of war with America (only a few criminals within said countries) - mutiple "terrorists" were actually American Citizens....

...the entire world destests America...for good reason...that means you!

If we see a trigger point, American could be in serious trouble, very doubtfull the world would come to America's aid. Osama Bin Laden understands this and unfortunatly seems smarter then our entire congress combined plus military leadership.

but I'm glad Americans believe the US mlitary is so great, even though they keep losing to a few guys with pitch forks hiding in holes, caves, and behind trees? sound familiar? LOL.

Re: America's can't-do list

"Suppressing a rebellion in America also posed other problems. Since the colonies covered a large area and had not been united before the war, there was no central area of strategic importance. In Europe, the capture of a capital often meant the end of a war; in America, when the British seized cities such as New York and Philadelphia, the war continued unabated. Furthermore, the large size of the colonies meant that the British lacked the manpower to control them by force. Once any area had been occupied, troops had to be kept there or the Revolutionaries would regain control, and these troops were thus unavailable for further offensive operations. The British had sufficient troops to defeat the Americans on the battlefield but not enough to simultaneously occupy the colonies. This manpower shortage became critical after French and Spanish entry into the war, because British troops had to be dispersed in several theaters, where previously they had been concentrated in America."

Sounds Familiar! LOL!

Re: America's can't-do list

If you'd like to get beyond your America-centric world view and understand the world a little more trying reading "The Incendiary"

The world's first "terrorist" an American "revolutionary" ... think long and hard about that the next you vote for yet another America warmonger running for President.

and mail a copy of this book to your local CIA "Analyst" LOL!

"In 1776 and 1777, during the American Revolution, a young Scot known only as John the Painter took his war to England by committing acts of terror in the dockyards of the mighty British navy.

This is the first full-length biography of that brilliant but disturbed young man. His story offers chilling parallels to the present – and insights into why certain young men are driven to commit unspeakable crimes."

Re: America's can't-do list

These days, with several peers serving in the military through the reserves, the very last, very last thing I would ever consider our military is a bunch of murderers. That is a naive, closed-minded view, a relic of the 1960s.

Actually, it is a relic of all wars Oh...lets pick the British Empire, the very last thing they would ever consider themselves were murderers. The British Empire was spreading Christianity, Commerce, and Civilization to the world... LOL!

Unfortunatly..we the murderers (Americans) do not get to decide if we are murderers or not...it the jury (rest of the world) that gets to decide and I believe they mostly already have.

"His real name was James Aitken, though he was better known as "John the Painter," and during the early months of the American Revolution, he wreaked havoc in England by performing acts of terror on behalf of America. In this first full-length chronicle of the man who attempted to burn down royal navy yards across England, Jessica Warner paints a tart and entertaining portrait of the world’s first modern terrorist. At the height of the scare, King George III received daily briefings from his ministers, the Bow Street Runners were on the chase, newspapers printed sensational stories, and in Parliament a bill was rushed through to suspend habeas corpus."

Hillarious read...King George's war on terror...we all know had it ended, only time will tell.

Re: America's can't-do list

We've sold their future prospects and freedom down the river, into debt servitude. The world's beacon of freedom, it's shining light on a hill, the place to which millions have sought to immigrant for centuries, is now the source of two of the world's greatest curses, those being the American military/intelligence complex on the one hand and the Anglo bankster/financial complex on the other hand.

It's not physical child slavery ... yet. But it still kinda' sucks.

Bingo, Cow hits the bell again. (Sadly)

Re: America's can't-do list

the best most murderous military, yippeee!

They have a saying in France: "The happy people have no history". It means, the only way to remain innocent is not to participate.

The US may retreat into isolationism over the next decade, for both economic and political reasons. If so, we will look back with nostalagia at the relatively benign period of "Pax Americana". Others will arise to impose their own notion of "new world order".

Re: America's can't-do list

I agree with everything said except this:



There is no comparison. Today's Christians, even the superconservative ones, are not sawing people's heads off and waging Jihad against the entire non-Christian world. Centuries ago, yes, the Catholic Church and later Christian Churches did a lot of harm, but not today. I don't consider the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to be wars against Islam because nobody is trying to force anybody to convert to Christianity at the edge of a sword.

Today, Christian churches and organizations do a lot of fine charity work around the world, serving Christians and non-Christians alike. The same cannot be said for today's fundamentalist Muslims, at least, not that I'm aware of.

As a non-Christian who has endured my share of prostyletizing, I find the efforts of Christians to convert me to be annoying and sometimes flat-out rude (my sister-in-law, GAAAHHH!), but never life-threatening.

wars are about power and the distinction between economic political and religious power is not black and white.
