You're probably right though, we should have stayed out of it since you folks were doing such a wonderful job on your own. 
Technically it was actually Russia that took the vast brunt of that war.  Real life is complicated.



Agreed.  It was also Russia that was originally in a non-aggression pact with with Germany.  More complication.

My only point was we did declare war on Germany.  In rebuttal to the previous claims that the U.S. has only undertaken "police actions" out of self-interest.

It's not a war on terror. We whined about 3,000 people after killing manyfold that number, and we did it first. It is a war of terror.

Moslems can be peaceful people, they really can. Left to their own devices and to settle their own borders, claim their territory and hold it, everything would be fine. However there seems to be this international body who thinks that they have the God given right to establish borders, create coutries and all that.

In other words, remember Czechoslovakia ? Czechs and Slovaks hated each other, and even when forced together after WW2 they didn't really mingle to the point where they ever attained any significant form of solidarity, which is what the God blessed world leaders want in the first place. Notice there is no Czechoslovakia now.

So maybe the same should happen in Iraq. Let them fight it out and become three seperate countries or at least semi-sovereign provinces (to distribute the oil revenues in a fair manner). Let them set their own laws and leave them alone. Just buy their oil and shut the fuck up. If they fight over the money, what do we care ?

Another thing these chosen ones should consider is to stop dictating who shall be the dictators of the entire world. Someone mentioned Pinochet in another thread, how did he get into power ? In fact Saddam was our boy, and he was real friendly when we were at odds with Iran when they stormed our embassy and held those people captive for how many days ? I can figure out the number of days if you like but the formula is thus -

Day of siege on the US embassy in Iran.
Number of days remaining in the Carter administration.

You see the Shah of Iran was nasty and they were going to torture him of course, returning the favor he bestowed on so many there. People want to look into where Obama's campaign funds came from, how about a look at where Carter's came from. You don't think a peanut farmer made all that money do you ?

The fact of the matter is that we have been meddling in their internal affairs for a very long time. We have allowed Israel to commit atrocities and even supported them with weapons and money. The only thing we didn't send was lawyers, they seem to have enough. And then they attacked our own USS Liberty and the administration turned a deal ear to the crew's cries for help.

If you have any fucking question in your mind why these people hate us so, just turn off the TV and learn a bit of history. And I am not even touching on the Palestinians right now. Between England, the US and Israel we have puissed off a very large nation, that I might add, now has no real borders thanks to our little team.

They know our elections are rigged. Even without vote fraud, who selects these evils of which we must choose the lesser ? Well we want to rig the elections all over the world like that. Sure your vote counts, you can have tweedle dee or tweedle dum.

Useful fiction I say. This triad of countries is hell bent on world domination. The figureheads in England like Blair was and like Bush is, are merely puppets. Israel actually runs the show, and rightly so because our figureheads are pretty much brainless. And the stupid populations of the US and England vote based on who has a nicer tie it seems.  I can find no other logical reason that Bush was elected to a second term.

I say get out and provide a REAL defense that works, unlike 9/11/01. Let the Arabs cut people's hands off for stealing, oppress their Women and do  those Arab things they do. They are not ready to assimilate into the culture of the modern world. They don't want it and hell, some of their Women don't even want it. They want to be as they are and I think they have the right to be as they are. Buy the oil, pay the money and go. I don't care who is in power, just give the money to whoever can come up with the oil. Fuck everything else.

The Israeli/Palestinian problem is unsolvable, and Israel should just do what they want. We close our eyes for a few days and let them just commit total genocide. Then they can go to hell and be with their buddy Hitler, who seems to have taught them so much. Fitting, quite fitting.

Of course the Arabs won't like that, but they already hate our guts, so play the cards we have. We are experts at looking the other way when atrocities happen, as long as they don't happen to anyone useful to us. So just let it happen. Get it over with. There are clear advantages to this strategy.

Number one it will solve the Palestinian problem for Israel, which should save the US taxpayers some money, as we support their jack booted thugs these days. Secondly, people (at least "our" people) forget very quickly. Report it on the news and then just segue into a fluff piece, like a new and unusual hairstyle. Thirdly, by stepping out of the picture we are absolved of further crimes, Israel wants them, let Israel do them. The US can then slowly regain respect in the world.

Yes, what I am saying is to just STOP. Unfortunately we started most of it. It will take a long time to get rid of this black eye we wear in the eyes of the world, but you have to start somewhere. And IMO if you want to stop making enemies, a good way to start is to stop dropping bombs on people. Over a hundred fucking years these airheads have not figured that out.

The war of terror is simple. It is apparently a license to go anywhere in the world and influence politics and religion wherever we don't like what we see. It is a means to an end, which is world domination. That FACT is not spoken of to the people, but it is the same thing. The Israelis are the masterminds and really, they are the only ones with enough brains to pull it off. They are getting dangerously close, with our help of course. Our supposed leaders have the same ambitions of course, but are not schooled well enough in the ways of the world to get it done, so are therefore happy to be the minions.

The way I see it, we are hurting and therefore there are only two logical courses of action.

One would be to pull out. Do nothing. Let it be and whoever is alive at the end of the mayhem, sit down and make peaceful relations.

Another path would be to admit what we are, go in there and really start killing until all of our enemies are dead. Admit to the world what we want and tell them straight out that we are the boss. No more pussyfooting around. No more depleted uranium, get out the fucking ENRICHED uranium. Make a couple of glass parking lots and be done with it.

Do one or the other, rather than the semi-protracted war on who even knows who. Sustaining it for decades when we clearly cannot afford to do so. These minions are so stupid that they don't know that they are wrecking the country that has been their benefactor and allowed them to the highest levels of society (save celebs of course). Allowed them to rape the US citizenry of our money, and freedoms until there is no money or freedom anymore. Their pockets are thick. What of the people ?

Oh, and for the record, I didn't say a damn thing about Jews. I am talking about the higher ups in Israel, and I know that many Jews do not support, or at least do not fully support the actions of the government of Israel. It's the same here, before Iraq two, many US citizens were against it, but what could we do ? Nothing.

In other words, the US, England and Israel are the new axis powers. They have been operating for a long time in the global sphere of influence and if you can't see by now what the ultimate goal is, you need glasses at the very least.

Do I think Israel wants world domination ? Of course they do. Anyone who craves power does, but that doesn't leave out the idiots we have who go along with anything no matter what it does to their constituents. We actually have some smart people as well, but most are similarly afflicted with this addiction to power.

Look at the bigger picture. Right there in the UN charter they have defined peace. It is SPECIFICALLY defined as "the absence of opposition". Figure out what that means, if there is opposition, how do you achieve the absence of oppostition ? You kill, and that means war.

So I say bet the maximum or fold, and I am not quite sure what is in our hand, but it is said that poker is not won by a good hand, it is won by a good player, and indeed I have seen this. Betting the max would mean going and killing to the last Man, Woman and child. Folding would be to get out. Period.

It is your turn to bet, what say you ?

I think this quote from your link pretty much says it all:

"Major booksellers declined to distribute the book, which was dismissed by Bush supporters as biased and untrue. Its authors struggled even to be reviewed in reputable newspapers. That the book was published by a Lyndon LaRouche's organization undoubtedly made it easier to dismiss, but does not change the facts."

I'm no fan of George Bush or his family, but this is all undocumented conspiracy theory from dubious sources.

Do you not think that publishers would have loved to see a story like this become a bestseller if it had the slightest bit of credibility?  Not to mention the mainstream media sources who would have milked the story for all it was worth to sell newspapers and boost ratings. 

What about the Democrats?  Do you really believe this would have been ignored as a point of political attack if it was true?

Ever stop to wonder about that statement saying it was easy to dismiss because it was published by Lyndon LaRouche's organization?   That's because if you lived in the U.S. the mere mention of his name would have you doubled over in laughter.  He's a nutcase that no one in their right mind takes seriously.

Technically the U.S. didn't declare war on Germany.  You declared war on Japan (after Pearl Harbour) and Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S. three days later.

I do think you've effectively rebutted the claim that the U.S. has never declared war however.

The self-interest question is more complex for me.  I think there's a very strong argument that actually the U.S. did enter because of self-interest. 




Technically we did.  The U.S. formally declared war on Germany on December 11, 1941 in response to Germany's declaration of war on the U.S..

As far as your second point, any war is because of a nation's self-interest. 

The argument that I was responding to suggested that the only reason the U.S. has been involved in any type of military action was to further our country's economic goals.

Good post, DK. You always supply the required facts. Well done.
 
Hm, no declarations of war since 1942...
 
So would it be accurate to say that though the USA did declare wars during the past two centuries, they never started a war, but always declared war in response to war? (Question not addressed to Dom Ken specifically.)

I think you could make a legitimate argument that the US was responding to an attack in each of those cases. Although, IMO, the Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars were very imperialistic and the supposed agressions by our adversaries were very minor or non existent.

Really when someone shoots me down with facts, I have no problem standing corrected. It has happened. It's the bullshit and the bias that bothers me.

In deciding whether something is true or not you have to take into account the source of the information or you are just deluding yourself.

The war on terrorism does NOT exist, Al-Qaida (a wholly CIA concocted term) does not exist as a worldwide network of terrorists but we got 3 years of unmitigated bullshit about it. It was only after Bush used the term to find a handy culprit for 9/11, that any Arabs picked up on it.



This is incorrect, Clinton named Al Qaeda in an order he passed just after the US Embassy bombing in Kenya. The actual name had been in use since the late 80s. The term wasnt needed to find any culprit for 9/11 as Al Qaeda and Bin Laden took full responsibility. Admittedly Bush made much of AQ being in Iraq which wasnt the case until after the allied invasion.

The whole concept of 9/11 was to enrage America in such a way, that they had to act. The hope was that this would inflame the whole of the Muslem world. This didnt happen, as many Muslim States, wanted to see AQ dealt with, including Iran. Iran even made the invasion of Afghanistan possible, as they did a deal that any US planes in trouble, could land safely in Iran. This made the use of fighters based in the gulf possible. Iran and Pakistan also allowed American planes to use their air space.

The whole idea of a war on terror is new, and it needs to be. This isnt a war on a conventional Army that will sit waiting to be blown to pieces, it`s a war on fanatics prepared to die for the cause. Hence the recent strike into Syria. The only way to break the AQ in Afghanistan is to break the links they have in the Pashtun areas.

One problem may be that the tribal areas of Pakistan have always been ruled by local warlords, so the Pakistani Government may not be able to do much there. This is why i said last month that the attack on the wedding party was helping terrorism. If the US are going to have cross border raids, they must have targets, and they must have accurate intelligence.

There are several good books about AQ and the background to it. They can only breed terrorist in an enviroment that allows it. Long term the US and the Allies need to win hearts and minds.

Oh, the person that was financed by USA bankers, among whom the great-grandfather (I forgot how many g's) of the current president. I see. Well, thanks a bundle.


Financed by USA bankers?  Care to provide some documentation of that?

Prescott Bush was a director of Union Banking Corp. that laundered ($3 million) Nazi money...was never prosecuted under the Trading with the Enemy act. Rockefeller and Rockefeller's Chase bank, Dupont and the Herrimans all were either American nazis (Henry Ford was, hated jews and helped Hitler and the Nazis financially) and profited from war.

John Rockefeller' Cos. that he left behind made $200 million on WWII, sold petro products to I. G. Farben (1941-45) like leaded gas and special oil without which the Luftwaffe could never have aided the Nazi war machine war.

And they are all wrong...this needs to stop now. The whole idea behind the constitutinal empowerment of a declartation of war was to make sure the people were behind it.

After all...it is the people and their children who do the fighting and dying not to mention the paying.

Now this has been bugging me for a while, George Bush's war on terror, what exactly is it ?

Is the war on terror an actual war, or just a convenient excuse ?

So instead of going about the globe killing people that fit certain criteria, is there not an easier way to fight terror, is killing the only way, or are there other ways ?

What causes a person to become a terrorist ?


Turn it around the other way Aneirin... is terror and killing the only way to address your grievances?

But that said I do believe you have a point….Bush has not done enough to find, understand, and address the reasons for violence against America. And not just Bush… these problems started with the actions of many Presidents past.

But you can’t deny the US and others are being attacked and must defend themselves. I believe we can only win by addressing both the military and diplomatic sides of the problem...I hope Obama does that.
