Libya

Re: Libya

I've always found him a decent enough sort of fella in contact i've had with him. I didn't know there was previous, fair enough.

Kamal, this site of yours is my favourite site on the web and it is what it is because of how you run it. If someone or something on it pisses you off or you don't like the vibe of it then i'd defend your right to get rid of the offending item, no question. For that reason i take my hat off to you for having the bollocks to give the guy another chance, fair play..

Thanks B,

Re: Libya

i had heard somewhere that the f-22s were going to get their first combat mission against libya, but it was cancelled. too bad the f-22 upgrades aren't done yet for small proximity ground targeting. and too bad the f-22 seems to be almost TOO stealthy for this job. we'd be able to fly those bad boys in there, get the job done and leave before anyone knew theywere there.

Syria will be next.

Re: Libya

I sure in hell hope so (at least in terms of international support for locals getting killed). Hopefully then those who cry that the West did not go into Syria, only because of for their oil.

Re: Libya

I almost feel like coming in here and starting to police this sub-forum, I didn't imagine the level of spite that's coming out of these debates. miraculous.

lol...plenty of times i have been surprised myself. I guess people really have a problem with debate when their value system and everything they take for granted is questioned.

Re: Libya

it is encouraging that the policy of not tolerating a dictator has the backing of so many dictators.

I generally don't agree with the entire post that Illustrious made...i.e. that you should stand behind your country no matter what. What the fuck does that mean? If Hitler got elected in US you'd go around waxing Jews?! come on dude...you gotta think in terms of whats good for the people...after all they are the nation and the government should serve them not vice versa.

Re: Libya

^ yeah, seriously... the f-22 is hands down one of, if not, the most dominant plane in this world right now and seeing it perform is breathtaking. i guarantee our adversaries take it into consideration when it is talked about being utilized. but i mean, for fuck's sake, who's oversight was it in the military in not realizing that the f-22 will need to be integrated with the rest of our military? it seems like the only way the f-22 will be handy in the future is if the target objective ONLY involves f-22s and no other weapons system which will happen almost never. retarded.

Re: Libya

Shpira: thanks for the valid questioning of my broad, ambiguous propositions.

briefly, and in principle, it means a subjective standing behind your forces in abstract thought; and therefore, intelligent activity. no one respects those who've betrayed themselves with halfway measures and unwilling-ness. what is required amongst those in the 'hotseats' is an uwaving determination that follows through each process of the swing: a full circle commitment to a kinetically charged current - initiated within the discernment first made, in light of reason for a choice such as this. ie., to disarm gaddafi.

i put no energy behind "soverignty" and "nationalism" ... every strife done -- on the global scene -- in the name of these two (backward) ideals, can be found the root of all sorrow stifling the progressive growth of humanity. a new world order, not in the stigmatized sense of the term, mind you, but a better world based on right human relations, unity, universal brotherhood amongst mankind and, harmony.
