George Fillioa wrote: If it happened today. Sad but true. http://tinyurl.com/clpcf What's sad, but obviously true, is that certain factions always insist on turning national calamities into opportunities for political mudslinging. Have you no shame or decency at all? Seems like my wish, that we remember the victims and the many high-priced lessons learned from war, is lost on you entirely. I wonder where the equivalent liberal crap is, blaming Pearl Harbor on George Bush? My bet is that it would be harder to find than the negative and divisive propaganda demonstrably being churned out for this occasion by the militant and reactionary right. |

Frankly, that's a more reasonable response than I thought I might see. |

Chuck,
I can't figure if you meant this to a joke, or it was unintentional. What was it? wrote in message oups.com... George Fillioa wrote: If it happened today.

" A Democratic congressional leader on defense called for an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, as he rejected on Thursday Bush administration attacks on war critics and raised bipartisan pressure for a new policy. "The U.S. cannot accomplish anything further in Iraq militarily. It is time to bring them home," said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, the senior Democrat on the House of Representatives subcommittee that oversees defense spending and one of his party's top voices on military issues. " Oh my. |

Surely you couldn't possibly mean the invasion of Iraq? If that's a war on terror, we're losing big time- there are a lot more terrorists in Iraq now than when Saddam was running the show- (he was a lot more effective at catching them than we seem to be, and he was enough of a ******* to keep them in check. Our problem? We can't be as big a ******* as Saddam used to be in order to keep some remote resemblance of order there and still promote our "noble motives" or claim to be helping the Iraqi people). We are hoping for a victory where somebody shows up, surrenders, and signs a peace treaty. How quaint. There is no "somebody" in charge over there who can call off all the religious fanatics from the various sides. If you are waiting for terrorism to stop in order to declare a "victory", good luck with that. We're inciting more terrorism than we're stopping. You won't find many liberals shedding tears for guys like that high-ranking Al Qaida member who was taken out by a CIA drone last week. That's what the "war on terror" is about, IMO. |

The answer would be no. Not in the same sense that the right wing cartoon did, at least. Please look through my post and see how many specific political names, references to specific political parties, etc you find. My comments were directed to a failing foreign policy, not blaming specfic individuals or portraying others as extremist buffoons. |
Remember Pearl Harbor
I would say the Islamic extremist war against the west is exactly the same
as the Jap attacking the US. You seem to like to insult and belittle other political parties, politicians and those who support those politicians and portray them as buffoons, but you are very creative in establishing extremely tight rules for who is not playing fairly. That way, you can never be including in those who you think should be chastised. Very creative, and shows your above average IQ, but if you believe your own PR, you have fooled yourself. wrote in message oups.com...

Anyway, The Japanese used an organized military force representing an established government to attack another organized military force representing an established government. The Japanese were under the mistaken impression that a formal declaration of war had been presented to the opposing government. To compare the Japanese to the theocratic or anarchist religious fanatics now sneaking around with bombs to blow up innocent civilians defames the Japanese and unduly credits the terrorists. To believe we will defeat the terrorists in the same manner and with the same methods we defeated the Japanese, or that the war will ever end, or that there is anyone who can execute a surrender document that would bind all the splinter groups of competing fanatics to stop committing acts of terror would be simple minded. |

They remember the Jap culture and unpunished atrocities of the time. They are not so PC and will properly call them Japs till their dying day. Japs are very prejudiced against anything not Japanese. They believe themselves the superior race and have extremely protectionist trade policies to this day. -- Skipper |

Would you rather he said Nips? Anyway, Nice tactic! The Japanese used an organized military force representing an established government to attack another organized military force representing an established government. The Japanese were under the mistaken impression that a formal declaration of war had been presented to the opposing government. The Japanese soldiers were fighting for their God, the Emporer. Does that sound familiar. Organized military against organized military fighting is over in the world. It will be organized militaries against terrorist organizations. To compare the Japanese to the theocratic or anarchist religious fanatics now sneaking around with bombs to blow up innocent civilians defames the Japanese and unduly credits the terrorists. Really, how? To believe we will defeat the terrorists in the same manner and with the same methods we defeated the Japanese, or that the war will ever end, or that there is anyone who can execute a surrender document that would bind all the splinter groups of competing fanatics to stop committing acts of terror would be simple minded. You have to kill the enemy. We have to kill the terrorists! |
