I argued no such thing. Go back and read that thread. You might notice that I disagreed with Greentail, who I believe started that one. I believe what you are saying has absolutely no relevance. Go do your homework old chap you are putting words into my mouth that I did not say! I do not give a damn whether your Beloved bush served or not.

You certainly cared when you were arguing about it.

You didn't read my posts did you?

Don't comment on my opinion if you haven't read any of it go back to that thread and quote me properly if you must.

I think my tounge in cheek remark to Siaf is being proven sadly correct!

I can't. It's been deleted. However, in typical zulu fashion you change history to suit your present argument.

UN is a joke and a corrupt criminal one at that. I have no idea what their use is but it can't be much.

I want the U.S. to stop wasting money and time with them.

Let em move to some country more fitting to their importance in the world like ... norway or someplace.. Let norway put up with their criminal behavior and immunity and tantrums.

"I can't. It's been deleted. However, in typical zulu fashion you change history to suit your present argument"

Then if you can't read it properly don't put words in my mouth mate.

Kind of ironic that its been deleted though.

I'm not putting words in your mouth. I'm repeating your words. If you want to change them now, you may. After all, they're your words.

So, in between raping and pillaging, they police "honesty"?

Obviously, not everyone wants to be policed.

Nope Martlet you are completely misquoting me. You suggest I was arguing that that Democrats had a better military record or something like that.

Look me up here>

First you bolster your facts with inaccurate claims, now you use dead links.

Did you go to the Moveon school of propaganda?

Martlett go read the "who served" thread again pay particular attention to my comments in there, then tell me I'm "the guy that argued vehemently that there are more democrat veterans than republican in congress, even after proven wrong."

see I don't give a damn about that, so can we concentrate on what I do give a damn about now?

Ok Now?

Sure. I don't blame you for wanting to draw attention from yet another time you've been proven wrong.

Nah, I want a World Police UN. Not going to happen though. You'll all stand by just like the League of Nations did until finally some dictator finally goes exponentially too far like Hitler did.

What would the world have been like if a united front had confronted and given him an ultimatum to cease and desist when Hitler reintroduced military conscription in 1935? Or in 1936 when he reoccupied the Rhineland? Or in 1938 at the Anschluss? Sudetenland?

I'm of the opinion that's it's easier, cheaper and faster to nip these little dictators in the bud.

But sometimes that takes balls, a willingness to lose lives and money and some aggressive militarism on the part of those who oppose aggressive militarism.

And yeah, we all know where you were standing when the Serbs were cleaning out Srebrenica. How fortunate the Dutch didn't practice a little aggressive militarism then, eh? At least Dallaire tried in Rwanda.

That's the whole problem with the UN. It's corrupt. Many of the member nations ARE the corrupt ones, and are in positions to oppose any action against it's corruption. It's like expecting a government to police itself, with zero accountability.

Beats raping the populace.

Yep. I watched it on the news. According to you, though, it doesn't matter unless you were there participating.

I guess you stand alone in that forum.
