AMERICA (and the Free World) STRIKES BACK ! (Official thread)

[FeelTheRT]

umm . . exacly where are they attacking ....?

[cphilip]

Afganistan. Predominantly Infrastructures. Power Grids, Air bases, Radar, Anti Aircraft installations, Old Terrorist training camps that showed recent activity and supply bases. Anything that would hinder a ground and air support mission to come later. Softening up the area for incursion missions.

ahhh war between americans and the towel heads.

america is fighting.
and are going to murder al the afganies.
yeah go americans.
i hope you guys get the ***** that did all the stuff to you people.

canada stands behind you..

[Arturus]

Wonderful.. Undermines everything the coalition, including our own Secretary of Def. and the Prime Minister Blair have been trying to accomplish. In that we are not in a war against 'towel' heads, nor the people of Afghan.

Guys, let's keep our facts straight and refrain from stereotypical name callings. It's not about being politicaly correct. It's about being right and wrong; having your facts straight. It's about being correct.

That said, I hope we do some major damage and send a simple message across. You're either with us, or against us.

A bit inappropriate in a public forum, as well as being a bit off base.

I agree!

canada stands behind you..

We thank any and all nations that stand behind us in this time of great need and do so for the RIGHT reasons (and I am sure most know exactly what I am talking about on this one).

But please next time, could you post with a bit more thought and appropriateness? Thanks.

Good response guys. Merged to this location.

Don't mess with the US! I'm very happy about this bombing campaign but we have to watch if the Taleban defect to Pakistan, Pakistan is in control of some very powerful nuclear weapons, due to the race between India and Pakistan to build nukes.

Another point I wanted to touch on is Bin Laden's speech, in his speech he said the world is divided into 2 parts: the hyprocritical part and the Muslims. Rage is the first word that comes to mind after hearing that. I hope this also angers the Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddists and various other religions to campaign against the Taleban and Terrorism.

[Trunnion]

i hope it angers moderate muslims as well. not all middle eastern muslims are extremists. much like not all people in the USSR were communist

[i_luv_talons]

Manike there are Geneva Rules of war

I don't think the Geneva Convention related to warfare - it was about POW's. But you're point is well-taken.

[Plastic_Mercenarie_39]

Woot Woot!!!!!!!

Tear Them out of their tents and beat them with their own arms!!!!! We arent taken no stinkin Crap From Nobody anymore man!!!!!!! Listen to the awosme song i have attched i thought it went well with this whole subject i hope you all like it!!!!!!

[Flamebo]

Umm... No song man...

Coulda saved yourself 4 posts if you read the text first. It doesn't allow sound files to be attached.

Action was called for. I don't think that we can end all terrorist activity in the world, but we can show that we won't tolerate it. I hope we make sure we know who we're shooting at. We can't tolerate civilian casualties, and should try not to disrupt everyday life in Afghanistan unless it's militant forces. There's a thin line between making new enemies and necessary retaliation. We're risking the lives of Americans and our allies for this fight. My cousin is an F-16 pilot who will most likely be sent overseas. My sister's boyfriend will soon begin training as an F-15E weapon's officer. I'm a contracted Army cadet. This military action will be fought by people who volunteered to do so. There's not going to be a draft, so please remember those who are putting their lives on the line. As far as how effective we can be from the air, just look at what we did in Desert Storm. Our Air Force makes it much safer to be on the ground, with precision bombing and special warheads that detonate beneath the surface to destroy reinforced buildings and bunkers. The ground war will be fought by Special Forces, like Seals, Rangers, Para Jumpers, and a Delta. These are very well trained soldiers who are the best on earth. Read Black Hawk Down and you'll know what they are capable of. All in all, I think we need to know that we are right every step of the way. We cannot cross into vengeance or racist assault. We oppose the minority, not the majority. I think it's great that we're trying to give aid to the civilian's there. It shows that our heart is in the right place. I think the best thing I can say is:

God Bless America.

Wow guys, this really makes me feel good....im not a real muslim but my dad is, I was baptised catholic because my mom is caucasian and from the U.S. while my dad is from palestine....the attitude on here is what the world needs, people that understand that theres like a .1% of terrorist muslims out there and that islam means peace....no where in the Koran will u find the word jihad(holy war) it was brought up by extremeists...thanks guys, im happy to see you guys are educated on thsi matter...

Thanks

[LittMag]

Ok, I don't know how appropriate this is, but I found it kinda amusing.

>>
Killing Osama Bin Ladin will only create a martyr. Holding him prisoner will inspire his comrades to take hostages to demand his release. Therefore, I suggest we do neither. Let the Special Forces, Seals or whatever covertly capture him, fly him to an undisclosed hospital and have surgeons quickly perform a complete sex change operation. Then we return her to Afghanistan to live as a woman under the Taliban<<

HAHAHAHAhahhaha! Oh yeah, sweet justice

Good stuff! Nor will you hear in the Koran the condoning of killing innocent people nor Suicide. So this is a misinterpretation of the Koran and a criminal one at that. So even Muslims are suffering from this misinterpretation and may I say Bastardization of this very nobile and kind religion. Unfair to all. Keep us informed and tell your Dad we understand and hope he speaks out aginst this Terrorist usurping of his faith.

Shart: nice touch on the change of the respect graphic.
