Jonathan Pollard's 22nd year of incarceration in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, November 25 2006 10:41 Profile Homepage #32 Infernal, thanks for not responding to any of my posts. quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: and the third was on one of the Jewish holy days, during which, nearly all of the military was off duty. And Israel would've been hard-pressed to win had it not been for... Portugal. Well, or Operation Nickel Grass. Another reason Wikipedia is everyone's friend... who would've guessed that Portugal saved Israel? :D -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Jonathan Pollard's 22nd year of incarceration in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, November 25 2006 10:23 Profile Homepage #30 quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: *Do you really think that if the press knows something, the government won't* after a day? Okay, but the government can't trust everything the press says. Otherwise, the U.S. gov't would constantly be consulting the Enquirer over possible retaliation for abductions. quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: Whether or not Israel bullys it's neighbors, is irrelevant. Maybe if you're looking at the case in a political vacuum, then it could be irrelevant. But if Israel does tend to bully its neighbors (an idea which I agree with, though I acknowledge that it's mutual bullying), then the U.S. would have a reason to withold said information. Maybe, just maybe, the U.S. doesn't want anything to happen that will de-stabilize the Middle East any more than it already has been. And just in general, I believe that it's totally relevant what Israel does to its neighbors, just as much as it is relevant what Israel's neighbors do to Israel. quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: There is only one reason that Israel doesn't make "misconceived 'first strikes'" to wipe enemies who have repeatedly stated that they would wipe Israel off the map off the map. Unlike what you seem to beleive, Israel waits for actual violence before taking part in military actions. Yes, and we all know that incidences of violence around Israel are few and far between, don't we? :P I mean seriously, the country just has to wait about 24 hours before another reason for military action pops up. quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: As for destroying America's rapport with the Middle East, well, if preventing the all out slaughter of extremist Palestinians destroys one's rapport amongst the Palestineans, then there is no comment I can possibly make on the matter. Could you clarify what the heck that means? quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: What you don't have the resources for is taking on the entire extremist Muslim world. ...which would likely declare jihad on us after an act like invading Iran. And anyway, I don't think it's an argument about whether or not we could do it. I think we could do it. I just don't think we could "finish the job" in less than half a century, unless you use W's definition of "finish the job". quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: As for the right recognizing that Israel is a liability, most Palestinean groups beleive that anything concerning Israel's right to exist is a direct threat to them. Is this part of your argument, or just part of a tangential rant? And can we leave out the cheap shots about whose country is more "civilized"? That goes for everyone here. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

The Monster from Meech Lake RETURNS! in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, November 25 2006 09:55 Profile Homepage #14 Bad Thuryl. :P I heartily agree with Alorael... quite often, I think that Stewart and Colbert know more about what's going on than most elected officials themselves do. And when they don't know what's going on, they admit it. Granted, that could change a bit if they were actually elected, but the promise of a change of pace would be enough to get them my vote. I mean, they'd have my vote anyway, but that would just solidify my position. Anyway, Clinton for world dictator in 2010! -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, November 23 2006 12:38 Profile Homepage #17 quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: Because I hope to educate at least a few. There is no point in debating something that receives no opposition. Well, to be perfectly honest... it tends to come across as rather one-sided Israeli propaganda. To me, at least. For instance, from your arguments here, it sounds as if it's okay for Israeli spies to steal intelligence from the U.S., but an intelligence leak to another nation is unacceptable. The two crimes (I feel comfortable calling them both crimes) only differ in which direction the intelligence flows. Also, this... quote: Originally written by radix malorum est cupiditas: Except that the documents that he took legally belonged to Israel. Explain how U.S. intelligence belong to a foreign nation.
