Flotilla and now this. Seems like they have been given a licence to kill just anyone.
Whats the, "now this"?..
The floatilla has been explained already... but whats the "now this"? Got a link or something?
The news said they were militants.
Not the same as "innocent" people.
It's human life we're talking about for god's sake - muslim doesn't make it any more dispensable...!
You never know the truth in these incidents. Remember Bin Laden's mass destruction weapons ? LOL Never existed !
So I don't believe these people were 'militants' at all.
We all know Press is bought.
How do you know they never existed?
You don't.
Correction: Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, not Bin Laden's. If you don't know these weapons didn't exist then I believe you shouldn't be commenting in politics forums.
I don't recall any thing about bin laden having WMDs...
I may have heard it briefly as a rumor... but not reported.
You mean Saddam?
He did.
Really ? Even the USA gov. admitted they were wrong. LOL
So you do mean Saddam?
We found Gas in Iraq... the same gas that killed 5000+ kurds in one shot.
That isn't a WMD?
The left can scream what they want... Saddam demonstrated he had them when he used them, and we found them.
Yes that was because the United States supplied the gas before the first Gulf War in 1991. After that war there were pledges monitored by the United Nations to disarm Iraq of WMD's. Weapon Inspector's including Hans Blix found no weapons during there aborted search for them...
You didn't find anything
President Bush later said that the biggest regret of his presidency was "the intelligence failure" in Iraq,[16] while the Senate Intelligence Committee found in 2008 that his administration "misrepresented the intelligence and the threat from Iraq".[17]
Wiki
Yes we found Gas. We did not find yellow cake supposedly, but then what did canada buy from iraq?, or WMDs other than Gas.
but we found gas.
Since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, several reported finds of chemical weapons were announced. During the invasion itself, there were half a dozen incidents in which the U.S. military announced that it had found chemical weapons. All of these claims were based on field reports, and were later retracted.
wiki
We not only found the Gas, we found campers converted into moblie labs to create the gas.
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/WMDlies.html
You can go & google. Sites like this, there are at least 100.
I don't think it is gas or WMD. The war was all about oil.
I don't need to.
I know what really happened. lolol
Again the left can say what they want... we found them... and the labs... that simple.
I'm not left. Far from it. But I'm not stupid.
It is unusual to find anyone left in the world who is so ignorant about the reality of the Iraq fiasco, the lies and deception and the administration responsible for it along with Haliburton making all the money while good American soldiers died.
It is not often we see such moronic statements about finding WMD, or the re-hashing of the discovery of a few empty ancient site offices that even you own government agreed were not chimicala labs. It is unusual to see such stupidity that still does not know such simple facts like Saddam gassing the Kurdish people was copying the British when they were there who also gassed the Kurdish people.
In fact it is unusual to see such a ridiculous fool persisting in promoting such nonsense - Maybe you also tell all your friends that the Nazi's did not have death camps and that all this was made up by 'lefty's' eh !
Yes, stupidity... like China bringing peace to the world.
That is a bit of stupidity for the history books.
It is much more likely that China will do better than those who have had a go before. Self interest, raging greed and war lust are bringing down the current dominant nation, just like all those before through history. You better hope they are better at it than you, if they followed your ways you would find yourself under attack from all around under a screen of lies only believed by narrow minded bigots.
Alternate Poet
Forgive them as they only listen and read what their leaders wish them to know.
The Rushaddicts and the Beckittes put it all together in one simple pill for them to swallow.
You mean those ridiculous imaginary mobile bioweapons labs?
Whatever we found or didn't find was no justification for Bush's preemptive warfare. It's clear that Iraq was not a threat in any way to the United States. Two factors prompted our foolish, costly action 1. The Israel lobby and the Neocons and 2. Cheney and Bush's Texas oil buddies.
Yes... China will bring world peace to mankind.... unhummm. I bet the Tibetans cannot wait... or them Uighers... yes world peace is china's great goal.
It is not about China bringing peace - any change to the world order is more likely to bring peace than the current hate mongering christian backed setup that benefits the very few at the expense of the very very many
I guess most people don't care who will be the next top-dog as long as it changes - and it is views like those of TM that do the most damage to its own country.
I don't intend to comment again on this thread as I am busy and the smell of b******t and trolls is nauseating.

The incompetent, immature, not-quite-adult one term president Obama was taken to the woodshed by Mr. Netanyahu. I loved it. Our bully in chief could not bully the adult in the room. Mr. Obama came off looking like an anti-Semite. And Mr. Netanyahu clearly appeared to be the only statesman in the...

You righties could have helped end the war in Iraq but you chose instead to vote Bush, the war criminal, to a second term. But now we find out that curveball lied, and is proud of it. And we find out that the CIA knew he was a liar. These are war crimes people. McCain and Abazaid said that the...

Chris Stevens, former US ambassador killed in Benghazi, Libya did advocate the Palestinians' cause and had anti-zionist positions. Given his opinions doesn't it make sense now, why he was primarily targeted? Since Israelis have access to Iran and eliminate scientifics as easily as they did it, why...
