WTF is wrong with us here?

[bikekil]

here in Europe... maybe there in US as well...

Are we afraid of the terrorist and murderers? Why people are cowardly trying to support "let's move out" ideas?

I'm far from being enthusiastic of a support the Iraq people got so far, but the right way would be to give them more help. Invest the $ and give them their JOBS... let them earn and take care of their families... but now,

We did a good job on dealing with the old regime there, we totally suck in terms on helping them, we should give then the powers and let them decide about their future.. .but i'm wondering, why with every OBL fart, we have more and more people interested in moving the troops outta there? WTF is wrong with you you selfish $%$#@.

We're (as you your post) a majority, those who want to turn tail and hide from OBL are a minority.

A rather vocal minority .... as they tend to be.

"Peace in our time!"

I don't know about US, but it's not that obvious in the Europe...

Let's look at the Spain - i really do understand (as much as it's possible without being there and seing this) the tragedy of Madrid, but after what heppened there i hear about majority voting for moving Spanish guys outta Iraq (that's what i see in TV anyway)...  and i can't get it!!! People saying "it's not our war" there? WHAT? after Madrid they say that's not their war? It's like they did something bad, they got punished and they accpeted the fact... hell, they should now send an appology to OBL

i just can't get it...

edited: I never meaqnt this post to be "against" any nation. What heppened in Spain could/may or is taking place at any other place on earth.

Whatever the vocal minority may say, you can rest assured the British will not leave our American cousins in the lurch.  Period.

That's the plan.  The big concern is (a) we'll end up with the same-ol' same-ol' we just deposed or (b) civil war and genocide.

[Arlo]

Never doubted, Swoop. And visa versa, sir.

[bikekil]

Hear ya GoFaster, because of the concernes you mentioned i see moving our guys outta there as a VERY VERY bad idea atm (easy said). They should bet more help ASAP and more powers accordingly to the situation that is there... i believe it's not a short way for them to "grow up" to dealing with their problmes

No!  

NOT Brothers.


Cousins.



The slow, retarded cousins we never talk about.  


But cousins nonetheless



And we shall continuously take the piss outta them for being late twice.

Let's look at the Spain - i really do understand .....

Spain also has a unique position in the eyes of the jihadists.  Islamists believe that once a country has been ruled by Muslims it is forever a Muslim country.  The Muslims ruled Spain for centuries until Christians finally finished re-conquering it in the 15th century.  To the jihadists Spain is an occupied Muslim country. There is no position Spain can take in the current war which will change this.
