Bush supporters' aftermath thread

Because you posted an opinion piece by Robert Fisk as if he was an authority on this subject. I was simply expressing my opinion that he is neither an authority on the subject nor is he always fair and balanced when he offers his opinion.

Just for the record I did not come here to impress you or anyone else.

ROFL! Lucky thing, that.

Military aggression is evil. Defense, is not. I imagine AI has seen the effects of war often enough to know.

Fisk is a world classed douche bag and his opinion matters as much as a pile dog crap on a cold winter day.

it was military aggression that supported the people of Berlin during the Berlin airlift.

Fox,
You are coming up with some unusual requirements for one to post their opinion today. Who dictated that an opinion had to be fair and balanced?

By the way, when someone uses that term (fair & blanaced), I am usually inclined to turn around and run because I associate it with the propaganda producing Faux Spews network. which has spewed more lies than george bu$h.

I think differently about WW1 and WW" (I thaught until your post, military aggression started these wars, especially WWII), but of what military aggression exactly do think of as in above?

Military aggression is a military attacking, threatening, or forcing demands on something or somebody. It is shooting first, not just shooting back when shot at. It can be something that bad guys do. And it can be something that good guys do.

Can you show me anywhere that I have ever said that an opinion has to be fair and balanced? And can you show me the rule that says I cannot comment when it is not?

Lets see what "evil" military aggression has caused.

It was military aggression that freed the 13 colonies from England,
It was military aggression that ended the civil war,
It was military aggression that opened the west,
It was military aggression that ended WW2,
it was military aggression that freed the hostages in Grenada,
it was military aggression that ended WW1,
it was military aggression that supported the people of Berlin during the Berlin airlift.

There are countless examples where military agression,wether overt or covert,has been beneficial to the world.

Right, Freeduck. I really wonder that Foxfyre now is a supporter of military aggression.

You live and learn.

Apparently we don't live and learn Walter. We just keep on killing each other. Just think what kind of world we could have if all the money spent on stupid wars (and they are stupid) had been used instead to help people.

Well I'll consider the opinions of the peaceniks here if somebody will show me any circumstance where a war has been won or brought to a conclusion by the winning side taking a purely defensive position.

Military aggression started all those wars too. What opened up the West was the slaughter of 12 million Native Americans. Only someone completely devoid of any sense of history, morality and human compassion would to point to this abombinable act of genocide with pride.

Sure I can Fox,
It's at the top of this post..... YOUR OWN POST! (see bold)

You gave the impression that it had to be fair & balanced, in your opinion, otherwise it/he (Fisk) was not valid as an authority on the subject.

You certainly give the impression that if YOU don't consider him an authority, then he is not one.

I think it's safe to say that no one gives a hoot if you post your opinion and I never said otherwise. After all it is a discussion board where opinions abound. You seem to have a special knack today for stretching, twisting and trying to put words in other people's mouth

Might I suggest that you slow down and read the actual words rather than trying to make them something they are not?[/b]

Well I'll consider the opinions of the peaceniks here if somebody will show me any circumstance where a war has been won or brought to a conclusion by the winning side taking a purely defensive position.

Well this is certainly an interesting analysis of what I think and do, and an even more interesting critique of what I intended. I suggest you take your own advice in the line of yours. I won't be responsible for the way you see things in your world. And I will continue to exercise my right to see things the way I see them in my world.
