Now they are saying it may take a few years to find the WMD. :rolleyes:

More horshit for the suckers, bolding mine.

He’s lying straight to our faces, and no one gives a shit.
Regarding the USA alleged empire, sure it´s not like in the times of Victoria, but here´s some food for thought: do you know of any other country that keeps military bases around the whole world?
I don’t have a thing to add to this thread. I just want to say that I am so happy to have connected without running into a God damned “We seem to be having this teensey little problem with the data base,” or “This page cannot be displayed” that I just got to tell the whole civilized world about it. This seemed as good a place as any. Thank you for your sympathy and support.
Right, from those 9 bases, 4 are located on French territories, or better said, overseas departments (French Polinesia, Saind-Denis, French Guyana and New Caledonia)
The other 5 are on ex.colonies, that is, they represent the remanent of an empire.
It´s not such a great example after all.
All 9 represent the remnant of a empire. It’s not like the first 4 became French territory by accident.
Heh… quite true, Brutus. I should have said so. :smack:
DtC, you keep mentioning in posts that you were in the military. What we don’t know is why you’re so bitter about the services. Assuming you were in 4 years, it was well before Bush took office. So skip the Hate-Bush fest and let us know why your service is germaine.
London_Calling, America is an Empire? cough Falkland Islands cough India cough No. Ireland…et al.
Flush. Thanks for risking your life 24/7, even at THIS VERY FUCKING MINUTE, to do your duty to the US in the way you saw fit when you joined. Please relay to the rest of your squad that my family, for one, think of you guys everyday. The detractors on these boards are a small minority (though vocal) of the rest of us 280+ million in this country as well as the 30+ other countries that support then of tyranny.

I don’t think you’ll find that L_C has ever said that the British didn’t have a empire and still has tiny fraction of it left.
He is saying the US is a new type of Empire nothing more.
Yes. Just like the Japan rediscovered the benefits of mercantilism, the US has rediscovered the benefits of imperialism.
Everyone else thinks: “Hey dudes, been there and done that. It ain’t as easy or as good as it looks. What happened? Did you learn nothing from the entire 19th and 20th centuries?”.
OK, I’ve been converted! Get us out of Kosovo! I don’t remember Yugoslavia attacking the US or any of our allies. We still have soldiers there, some dying. I tell you it’s an outrage that we don’t hear of the casualties in that region from the last decade. Oh, wait…we can’t blame Bush for that. Never mind.

Guess I forgot it’s only ok to free whites from brutal dictators. The Dems are happy to allow “lesser” people like Arabs to suffer a crushing dictator. Cool, I’m starting to learn the rules!
Fuck me (Pit self for not previewing) :wally
Won’t happen again :dubious:
Surely you are not suggesting that a conservative Republican has embarked on a 200 billion dollar rescue mission for the Iraqi people…
Britain had an empire - who knew ?
