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

[Deadeye]

According to the news, the targets were in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, where the Taliban regime headquarters many operations, reportedly destroyed the airport and much of their central command structures. An airbase in the northwestern city of Herat was also reportedly destroyed.

Specific types of targets included: early warning radars, airfields with aircraft, a single tank formation with troops, command and control facilities, training camps, and fixed surface-to-air missile sites.

I think the cave targets will be the responsibility of Special Operations. IMHO.

The only part of that pic that is wrong is that it should have been a sailor and not a soldier for that flag is now flying over the Roosevelt Battlegroop.

You it's a real shame that it has come to this, but you know who I really feel sorry for, other than those who lost someone on Sept 11, are the Islamic people here in Canada and in the US. These people are being shunned and avoided when possible. It is very hard for them right now. I work with a gentleman who is Islamic and he is a very nice guy, but this whole or deal has him very worried and scared. These are people too and they deserve our help.

Other than a couple of unfortunate incidents (broken windows and spraypaint) right after the attacks, the sense I've gotten here in DC is that the Islamic community is not only not being shunned, but seems to be getting a much wider sense of acceptance and support. The Islamic bookstore that had its window broken was fixed up for free (IIRC) and the owner has said he's had a lot of new and non-Muslim visitors expressing their support. Of course, our area is VERY multicultural, which I'm sure makes a difference.

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.

I do wonder this...why don't the large majority of nonextremist Muslims take care of their "problem children"?

[shartley]

I agree!

Jeb_Hoge,

[Mr. -RushY-]

bah no matter what i do i just can't get it to work...guess i'll have to take it out

(All I did was do what I told you to do.. and now it works. Like I said, this board system does funny things some times. All better now! Added by SHartley)

IGNORANCE is bliss...

i_luv_talons,
You said the following:

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

BTW -- I hate Shartley... He makes these big speeches and acts like he knows everything.

I am all for expressing your opinions, but I would consider this a FLAME. You do not know me, nor even have a valid point. My role here on AO goes WAY farther than you may think, and I was ASKED to resume posting. I for one find your signature offencive.

And it is interesting that you showed so much about yourself in your FIRST post here. You could read for days what you left between the lines. You may be more comfortable at PBD.

To echo..good question. Lack of opportunity and means? Fear?

Seems some did try and ended up dead. Here we have a man posing as a messenger from God. With no clerical credentials but wealthy and very charismatic. Surrounded by henchmen who worship him. Very hard to penitrate.

I ask all of you what right does this man have to claim he knows what God wants? And by what laws does he use to make his judgements? No known laws on this earth call for the types of things he proposes are Gods will. The Muslims have a very well developed set of Civil Laws (in fact the most developed historicaly) but they have no Criminal Law for him to quote. So he makes them up as he goes along. And because none existed before it is hard for the youth of his following to dispute them with historic references. Typical false DemiGod.

Another thing that irritates me is he stated he wanted all Muslim States "reunited" to what they were 80 years ago. They were never united. Ever. Always Chiefdoms, Shiekdoms and Regionally governed and criminal Laws were imposed, at will by the local governments, irrespective of Islamic Law. He needs to study History a bit more. His ignorance of his own world is astounding. Or perhaps he wishes to dismiss it as it doesn't serve his purpose. I hope the Islamic people put him in his proper place for us. he is making a shambles out of their region and starving the very people he is purporting to champion.

One good thing that I hope comes out of this. The people of the western world and the eastern world could come together and understand each other better after this is all over. I know I am learning a lot I would never have tried to learn if this had not happened.

Reportedly... Arafat has spoken to the Palestinian people in an address this Morning telling them not to support Bin Laden and that Palestine does not need nor want to be associated with him or what he is doing. Cool huh?
