If one goes commando I think its 2 shakes, a pause and 2 shakes more. Better safe than sorry.

It's pretty easy to follow. Start from a basic premise -- "I was against the war in Iraq, and I disagreed with the notion that it would make us safer, and I think the facts have sadly borne me out" -- and then take it and drive it off the fucking deep end.

What I don't get it the writer's gripe about our occupation of Afghanistan. Uh, we told Afghanistan we would not attack if theyr turned over AQ. They refused. They harbored people who killed 3000 of us. I'd say we were more than patient. You think Russia, China, India or Israel would have given the Afghanis a chance at peace? Israel would have turned the ground for 300 miles around those AQ training camps flourescent green.

Is this a generally applicable rule, or only for those who go commando?

Thanks for the consideration. How about Watchtower?

WTF???

This is my favorite quote so far:

They did their worst, and they managed to disrupt our transport network and get fatalities in the low double figures. That happens on a fairly regular basis anyway, you twits. What's your next trick - a fiendish weather control device which makes it rain on a bank holiday weekend?

That's exactly the point that the pacifists don't understand. They actually believed that if the west pulled out of the ME the war would be over. Fucking retarded. Those are simply the current excuses for AQ's attacks on us. Guaranteed that if we pulled out there would be other excuses. AQ is simply after power.

As I said to some of my friends who asked how, as someone on the political left, I could support the war in Afghanistan:

"What would Lenin do?"

I wonder if the British have this thing figured out. Perhaps making a laughingstock out of AQ is the best response. These Arab extremists are all about the honor and seriousness of their "mission." Cracking wise about them would seem to be the biggest insult imaginable. It might even make them look impotent and undesirable to those who'd join them:

A Letter to the Terrorists, From London

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? This is London. We've dealt with
your sort before. You don't try and pull this on us.
Do you have any idea how many times our city has been attacked? Whatever
you're trying to do, it's not going to work.
All you've done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more. How is that
going to help you? You don't get rewarded for this kind of crap.
And if, as your MO indicates, you're an al-Qaeda group, then you're out of
your tiny minds.
Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we've got news for you. We don't
much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name. But, listen
very clearly. We'll deal with that ourselves. We're London, and we've got
our own way of doing things, and it doesn't involve tossing bombs around
where innocent people are going about their lives.
And that's because we're better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our
city works. We rather like it. And we're going to go about our lives. We're
going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we're going to work.
And we're going down the pub.
So you can pack up your bombs, put them in your arseholes, and get the fuck
out of our city."

From the Tariq Ali article:

The real solution lies in immediately ending the occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. Just because these three wars are reported sporadically and mean little to the everyday lives of most Europeans does not mean the anger and bitterness they arouse in the Muslim world and its diaspora is insignificant. As long as western politicians wage their wars and their colleagues in the Muslim world watch in silence, young people will be attracted to the groups who carry out random acts of revenge.

At the beginning of the G8, Blair suggested that "poverty was the cause of terrorism". It is not so. The principal cause of this violence is the violence being inflicted on the people of the Muslim world. And unless this is recognised, the horrors will continue.


The real solution is the application of about 12 nuclear devices, including but limited to Mecca, Medina and Paris.

Which is what we should have done. Like I said, Assad is the only political ruler who shut down Islam within his borders. Wherever an imam preaches jihad, take him out. And when you bomb, don't half ass it like we did in Tora Bora. Paint the hillsides with chemicals, nukes... whatever. Who the fuck's going to find out? The media can't even get near those places. Kill everything walking within 500 miles of an AQ training camp.

We've acted like America for too long, and its making us look like buffoons.
