Hey, slashdot rulers. You're idiots, do you know why? Because what you've accepted as "elvish" spelling of "slashdot" is just gibberish. Don't believe me? Check here: http://tengwar.art.pl/tengwar/ott/start.php?l=en Idiots. And to the author of said "logo" - hand in your nerd card.
Biology question: how do I throw a zinger about "consporacy theories" at a biologist? Possibly rich in references to natural selection &c. I couldn't come up with anything...
But in honesty I agree and like where you're going with that.
And because of that the noble USAns made up the WMD charge, went on with "Operation Shock and Awe" or whachumacallit, destroyed the country's already declining (due to the sanctions, which only hurt the civilians) economy and pillaged its museums. Yes, all that you said really holds water.
Oh! And one more thing. Do you know who has WMDs? The US of A. Also, it's the only country who used WMDs against another. Twice. On civilians. Good night.
Much of the same tale can be said about North Korea and their nuclear bomb development program. According to experts and boots on the ground, they had absolutely no weapons program.
He was "just following orders." By the way, add every USAn, British, French, German, Polish, Spanish (and whoever I forgot to list that helped the USA-sponsored terrorist assault) troop to the list of war criminals.
Precisely, why was a war needed to boost the stock of oil companies?
Their problem was the petrodollar. When Saddam and Khadaffi wanted to trade oil in Euro instead of declining, debt-ridden dollar (puke), they signed their death warrants. That was because the otherwise worthless currency reaquires backing in a scarce resource of high demand. Now Khamenei (yes, Ahmadinejad is just a figurehead with no real influence) wants to develop Iran's own oil market, so guess what has already been happening (Iran wants WMDs, yeah sure).
Where does it say the database was a part of the Taliban government? The Taliban condemned the attacks, by the way, so the alleged 9/11 "attacks" was an action of individuals. Official government involvement = 0.
It still would have been Afghanistan that would have been attacked, not Canada.
The invasion of Afghanistan was greatly provoked - - 9/11 - perhaps you've heard of it? Afghanistan hosted Al Qaida even to the point of integrating it into the government. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with 9/'11 as a government. So, you don't have this right.
Seriously? Financing "the database" is "nothing"? The alleged hijackers being mostly Saudi is nothing? Recognizing the Taliban as legitimate government is nothing to do with it? You need to find another dealer.
If we're talking QUALITY, then yes, waterboarding carries slightly greater degree of physical and psychological discomfort than indefinite detention. Both are torture.
We differ with some very valid points, so it's not objective, sorry.
Now, now. Your assumption of validity is subjective, sorry. It's objectively better, because it's optimal: energy efficient, time efficient, transparent and pragmatic. And makes one look clever rather than dependent. Self-reliance FTW.
The same message can be delivered without those elements.
Nope. Irony, sarcasm, even vitriol is an implicit part of the message. It is intended (rational) rather than inadvertent (emotional).
You're THE idiot. Indefinite detention qualifies as torture. In civilized countries. And to your other post, you stupid troll, I did not specify a country and you're cherrypicking. That is trolling.
Or did you find "evidence" of the US setting off truck bombs in civilian market places?
In light of unprovoked invasion of these countries (instead of KSA), the evidence of double-tap attacks on reporters and civilians, executions by drone and whatever they call "collateral damage" is all that is required to make that statement valid.

It's like showing up at a some kids first birthday and handing out condoms to all the adults.
Yeah, and the kid is retarded and quadriplegic.
far less valuable patents.

Here's what it would sound like: "ngykhngykhkhwm" - all consonants.

The EU is simply refusing to sell them one.
FTFY.
Pah!

Had they arrested or kicked them out post 9/11
On what grounds? For "questioning?"
Are you kidding?! The Free Market is just a theory, like evolution; get over it.
No, evolution is a theory. "Free market" is not even a hypothesis. It's pure fantasy.

My work here is dung.
Indeed.

The war there was in no way the final option resulting from years of failed sanctions, failed diplomacy, and ineffective UN inspections & oversight.
Yes, all the failures led to the war. But they failed - ON PURPOSE.

Fucking citation. NOW!

I suppose Iraq would be next in that case too!

indefinite detention does not quality as torture

Two words: SOLITARY CONFINEMENT. No need to try harder, retard.

Last, but not least, FOAD.
Lots of love. As in "Grandpa died, LOL."
Bah! Some can't even understand the dictionary definition when given!
