But it's fine for Europe to protest in the streets shouting No Blood for Oil, right?

No one seems to cry out for the american soldiers then.

No, it's all about the big imperialist US bullying smaller countries.

Not much fun when your countrymen are dying and people thousands of miles away mock their efforts, is it?

How about now? In case you haven't noticed Straffo, US soldiers are currently being killed and US civilians murdered. Your countrymen along with several others have been derisively ridiculing us for many months now. Can't stand the heat? Get out of the kitchen.

Yes. As well versed as you are in the UN protocols, I'd love to hear your opinion on why a civil war in the Ivory Coast is considered enough of a threat to world peace to warrant intervention but genocide in Sudan is not.

I figure it's got to be the cocoa.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

What let you think I'm allways agreeing with my countryman ?
It's not a question of standing the heat but of decency.
I don't think I'm one of those joking about the death of US soldiers or civilians.

Muckmaw , if you want to play the talion's law game I can keep up with you, but it won't be very funny for you and me.

Edit: Btw. the terminology is not "threat to world peace", but "threat to international peace", so it would be enough for the conflict to be a threat to one other country. France comes to mind since they have a population there.


When this little exercise fails, what will be the UN's next charge?

Funny, you post a UN resolution like it means something... a UN resolution isn't worth the paper its written on. I think its way beyond time for the UN to find a new home, how about France? :aok

If the UN would have acted and our allies were indeed true allies, then your snide remark would not have been relevant would it?

To not participate in the initial invasion I can buy....to purposefully stand in our way at every opportunity and ignore our requests for assistance in the post Saddam phase of this op shows the spineless character which defines the UN and many of her members.

To be proud of your role in UN efforts is one thing....to celebrate the suffering in Iraq by it's citizens as well as those involved in trying to free her from combatants so you might take some sort of high ground on the issue is typical of your posture on this board.

Remember....for you to save our butts as you put it, would require some fortitude, loyalty and character....all qualities which you seem to neither possess nor to understand.

Well said Rude. Little doubt you will soon be added to GScholz's growing ignore list. He may find his sig to be smaller by listing those he is not ignoring. ;)

This is a repost of mine, but works here and now!

API and UPI reported today that the French Government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide". The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate". This may have been precipitated by the recent fire which destroyed one of their White flag factories, thus disabling their Military for the time being.

Nobody stood in your way, and most European nations are helping you in Iraq now. You're as ignorant as you are arrogant.

We can trade thinly veiled insults and personal attacks all day if you wish. Won't do me anything.


Sometimes the truth is personal....I can't help that.

As to your response in whole, I'm disapointed....probably has to do with that character thingy ya think?

Please advise us all as to the help we are recieving from Europe....I suspect the word has a convenient European definition which differs from ours....did they stop stealing money from Iraq kinda help or would you be referring to just staying out of our way so as not to complicate matters for yourselves?

Clarification is what I'm after....nothing personal it it at all.


BTW....should I take your ignorant and arrogant remark as personal or were you just upset about that truth hurting thing?

Edit: Btw. yes I know a treaty signed by the United States of America isn't worth the paper its written on.



look up who finances more than half of the u.n then post this again.

The french are war mongers.

We should use our veto to stop any attempt of the un to interfere with the Ivorian freedom fighters resistance to the new french imperialism.
