Fighting Breaks out Against Syria and Iran!!

dang, elevated to the position of tony blair!!  wow i was hoping to be more like maggie.  she wore cool pumps.  

anyway jabs from fellow americans (most likely al gore supporters) notwithstanding, thank you.  

i'm honored.
 
i agree with straffo, while i've never used the "term eurotrash"  it certainly does have a ring of truth to it and it is catchy as well.  thanks for sharing it.

I guess my confusion regarding our euro "allies" stems from not being able to understand and perhaps someone will attemp to please explain the following.  To a great extent I exclude the English from the following and I apologize to the Eastern Europeans who have been historically abandoned by the U.S. and Western Europe, most of all the proud, noble, loyal. brave and kind Polish People.  the rest of you Euros own them a debt of gratitude going back to the time of the hussars.  How they were abandoned by both the English and Ourselves after the termination of hostilities in 1945 should be taught in the West and shall forever be a dark stain upon the character of the U.S.  

SO someone, please explain how on the one hand it's perfectly ok for the American People to have poured hundreds of thousands of our finest young men into your idiotic conflicts.  Almost singlehandedly defeat the opposition, then pour hundreds of millions of our dollars to rebuild you, only to be treated with the deep levels of contempt we are shown?

You (collectively) deserve neither respect or nor consideration nor friendship from us, afterall you do determine the conditions of our friendship by the way we are portrayed in your press and by the conportment of your people visiting here and the way we are generally treated when we visit you there.  ESPECIALLY the french here and in france.  Pick up any edition of Le Monde and if you are true  American prepare to be outraged. go ahead, say it ain't so.

I want to know where in the hell the Iraqi oil is going? We have had control for a freaking year, paid Halliburton untold billions, and we are still paying 20 billions in reparations for Iraq. What is up with that?


Good point. Also, if the US went for the oil, what's up with prices at the pump? Is there some economic issue that I'm totally overlooking? Someone please educate me here.

the prices at the pump are right where they need to be and will in fact have to be increased.  we need to build up our coffers in order to continue our war of aggression for oil.

many of us don't think it's funny here.  actually pathetic is a more apt description.  You guys need to become more like us.  Really.  all your silly war mongering amongst yourselves and then being too impotent to extract yourselves from your own conflicts should quite frankly, be embarrassing to you.  I'll refer you to one of my personally favored songs covering the topic of U.S./ Everyone else relations. Randy Newman (a Jew) the 1972 tune "Foreign Policy"  That's how we should deal with europe.  the perfect solution in a three minute song.:rofl

Storch, did you know the Saudi's and American oil corps traditionally raise the cost of oil per barrel during summer months?

Did you also know that given the cost of inflation, that today a gallon of gas is still cheaper than it was in 1980?

I agree, that while its (raising prices) similiar to selling plywood at double the cost prior to a hurricane, the U.S. oil corps have not been able to build new refineries since 1976, apparently at the cost of having their hands tied by the greens. There is a price to pay when our technology and ability to build is restricted.

Nilsen thank you,  it's hard to portray wit to pinheads on a bb.  besides for real, friendly and spirited debate we need beer, scotch, coffee, cognac, tobacco, confortable seats and a tropical ocean view.  these can sometimes start at 2200 hrs. and suddenly it's 0600 and time to go to bed sunday morning.

like i said it's right where it needs to be, and yes while it's true that due to increased summertime demand the prices are raised traditionally, this year it's different.  they need to increase the prices to $2.50 a gallon for regular in Florida (currently $1.89) for two reasons the first i stated previously, the second, so that i may increase the prices of MY product exceedingly disproportunate to the rise in energy costs and possibly start a chaotic runaway upwardly spiraling inflationary trend.  This will

1. line my pockets
2. allow me more discreationary time to waste here on these silly bbs
3. buy my wife that new fur she wanted (we live in Fl)

My only trouble with "wishing" for higher prices by those who solely want it raised to punish those who use gas excessively (no, I'm not speaking of you) is that when the price of oil goes up, its NOT JUST GASOLINE prices that rise, EVERYTHING goes up in price, from plastics, to food and everything in between.  Produce must be transported from the field to your dinner table, and trust me, that hike in the fuel prices will affect the consumer, not the provider.  We end up paying more for consumer goods, more for food, more for air travel, etc. etc.

what hollywood??? fighting with the continental euros is like this.

Fight the battle (pacify the "allies") drag them kicking, screaming to the next objective.  What was H. Norman Schwartzkopft's quote about not having the french along side of you in a war?

It was reported that when negotiations between England and  Germany had broken down and a British official was told that the Italians would most likely be entering the conflict alongside Germany this cheeky Englishman (I believe it may have been Churchill) Stated, "Thank goodness, afterall we did have to have them on our side last time".

Maybe not a textbook definition of "singlehandedly" but nevertheless sufficient for me to us for these purposes.

Bonus question.  Who placed the last 10 bullets into Mussolini's body?
