Okay I should change this thread to "A Lesson for Eurocoms excluding UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Italy, Spain, New Europe and whoever else I forgot."

or

"A Lesson for Old Europe particularly Germany and France, and unimportant countries like Greece."

Our soldiers will not fight for your interests, hopefully. Others can die with you.

Too late. Greek peacekeepers have been to Afghanistan to fight for "our interests" and for all I know some may still be in thier. Now be a good goatbanging lackey and start being witty. It makes thing more entertaining for me.

Yes they are in Afganistan unfortunately. Entertainment like the 9/11 is hard to come by though granded but trilogies are in fashion these days. I'll be sure to buy popcorn just in case.

The very same one which authorized the US to make or break cease fires upon the UN's behalf. The same one which is still in effect from 1990.

AFAIK this is an incorrect reading of delegated authority, which was actually much more restricted...

I don't see the distinction unless of course you can tell me why it is in Canada's interests for Iraq to collapse into anarchy.

Post reported to the mods.

You've become intolerable as of late, I suggest you take some time to find out what it is you hope to achieve with that way of posting.

Yes there is no distinction. Hopefully the Iraqi resistance is making it easier for everyone to come back from Afganistan, except the US.

KH: It authorized force and put the US in charge of UN forces. Being in charge the US can call or call off any cease fire it wants to. Plus the resolution was never repealed.

I recall reading an interview with Bush Sr. back in the mid 90's where Bush Sir said they intentionally wrote the resolution to be as broad as possible and to never have an expiration date because he wanted to be able to us it as political cover if the US ever wanted to intervene in Iraq again. One of the benefits to writing your own resolution is that you get to make it just how you want it.

You really aren't trying anymore. God at least try to be funny or at least put some wit into your trolls. These cornball efforts only serve to make me sad for you.

a) It's not already there?
b) I'm not sure it isn't in our interest to see that.
c) You really don't understand why, if somebody disagrees with you wrt starting a war, it is not in their interest to help you finish it?

To be fair with Paiktis Dinodoc did start throwing mud first when he insinuated that Greeks have sex with goats. Also I'm surprised the word nigger doesn't get caught by the autocensor.

Still waiting for an answer as to why that would be. If it's at all cogent I may even agree with it but as of now I don't see how a state that might collapse into anarchy is in anyone's interest.

Oerdin, it's in the hands of the mods.

Besides, this is far from an isolated incident from paiktis22. He's routinely spreading hate all over the place, and I for one am sick of it.

I was just having a little fun with him after being a little peaved by the tone of one of his posts in another thread. The way he's been posting is how he always posts. I give him credit for his consistency,

It's not the collapsing, it's the effects on international prestige. If I was completely Macchiavellian, I'd explain how periods when direct force is not an option for the US tend to increase our influence...
