Something I wish a U.S. president would say about Afghanistan (or some place similar).

[harmonica]

We've stayed in South Korea for SIXTY YEARS and a great deal has changed for the better.

You lose.

hahhahahaha
....we are out of Afghanistan and Vietnam--plain and simple...in Korea, the south was stabilized....the South Koreans were stabilized with a stable GOVERNMENT--like I said, you don't know shit---South Vietnam's government changed 3 times in about 2 years!!! one with a bloody coup---and many coup attempts to follow

etc

 

[Rigby5]

Utterly ridiculous.

Oh, so do you believe Iraq really was stockpiling WMD for attack on the US, that the Taliban knew about the attack on the WTC ahead of time and supported it?

Face it, the Pentagon and Bush were all total liars.

kyzr my company is buying stuff from them...our manufacturing work force is a bout 30% Vietnamese ..most are barely understandable

I'm sure they are quite understandable in Vietnamese. How fluent are you in THEIR language.

I'm fully knowledgeable of the history of South Korea. Especially given my dad's history in the war there.

You can't even talk to me without being a patronizing *******..

 

[Dayton3]

prove that very few want us there

AND at the cost of 50,000 American lives/wounded/etc--YOU lose

And wasn't it worth it? Of course it was.

 

[Rigby5]

Prove it with evidence from an unbiased source please.

There likely is no unbiased source, but I was suggesting we use logic.
The Taliban are not being bankrolled by Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, the US, or anyone else.
They are totally local and so then can only be popular.
There is no other explanation why they beat everyone else and why they still exist after all we have done to them.

1. wow--wow --you wouldn't say that if it was a family member that died
2. do you know how many conflicts/civil wars/etc there have been????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????? you want us to lose 50,000 lives for every one!!!!??== IDIOCY

 

[Dayton3]

Oh, so do you believe Iraq really was stockpiling WMD for attack on the US,

1) The only WMDs Iraq had were leftover chemical shells.
2) That said, Iraq was not supposed to have those either.
3) Iraq was never going to attack the U.S.
4) But Iraq was still committing acts of war against the U.S. by attempting to lock SAM radar missiles on American aircraft patrolling the no fly zones.

5) I don't care if another nation is a direct threat to the U.S. or not in order to justify military action by us.

[Dayton3]

My dad suffered a permanent injury in the Korean War.

Why do you insist on trying to say what I believe when obviously you don't know?

 

[harmonica]

And wasn't it worth it? Of course it was.

worth dead Americans??????????!!!!! woooohoooooooqooooooooo=IDIOCY no, it wasn't worth one dead American

You can't even talk to me without being a patronizing *******..

If you were fully knowledgeable of the history of Korea, you would know that Syngman Rhee had been kicked out for corruption, and after living the US for decades, we insanely picked him as the leader for Korea.
He then set about massacring villages.
We totally and completely screwed up Korea, and it was only by luck that one of the military dictators decided to turn South Korea into a democracy in 1992.

 

[esme]

Whose is it then?

It is theirs: the people of Afghanistan. Duh.

 

[harmonica]

Dayton3 and--AND--we are competing against SK economically--big time--fking up the US

 

[harmonica]

[Dayton3]

That would never have happened if we didn't have a major troop presence in South Korea.

 

[harmonica]

Dayton3 we had no business in Korea

 

[Dayton3]

Dayton3 so, did not die .....your mother/etc would not have liked it at all if he died --don't deny it!!!!!!

My dad and mother were not even dating at the time of dad's Korean War service.
