    I figure he loves his job and you dont need to thank him. In fact he should tank you, man. You american tax-payers pay his wage so he can be there and do what he loves to do. I know because I used to do this stuff myself when I was young, and I was grateful to be send to that kind of places and even get paid to do that stuff, and get medals too. Man, if you do this stuff home in America, you go to jail. Do it in Afghanistan and you get a medal.

    A bit edgy, even for a razor.  However, based on you English skills it would be a hard sell to convince anyone your know much about North Americans.  Mind you, your second language English is pretty darn good, far far superior to my laughable French.


  • Crunch are you American? Also to  dezrtfish we all appreciate what you do. Hopefully with this victory we can be sever al steps ahead of Al Queida (eh not sure the spelling) and even terrorism for that matter.

    Hey Pvt. Ryan.  I’m Canadian, but my brother and sister both live in California and married Americans and had kids.  We talk politics a lot, surprisingly no fights at family reunions.


  • Haha well considering were next door neighbors you’d think Canada and the US would be pretty close. Then again Mexico is a neighbor to. Personally I’d say America, Britain, and it’s former colonies are close as far as nations go. Trace all of our roots back as far as 250 years and it all comes back to the good Ol UK.

    Razor, this isn’t a political debate. That being said, I am very aware that I pay his wage and I make sure my voice is heard politically. Nonetheless, soldiers by nature of the profession put their lives on the line, regardless of whether it is right or not. I have no desire to get shot, so I applaud soldiers for their service. Hopefully the taxpayers will have their voices heard for the soldiers sake.

    I did a paper once on the Vietnam war, came across a qoute/quip.  A soldier returning from the war is confronted by a citizen who asks “Why did you go to war!”, the soldier replied “You sent me, why are you asking me why I went?”

  • Allow me to offer my word of Thanks to the armed service veterans who keep the rest of us safe.

    OBL was killed about a month ago, and the Seal team got laptops and jump drives, etc… that should have been utilized for follow up operations.

    I wonder if the follow up raids were

    1  kept secret, or
    2  maybe the trail has gone cold again.


  • Well, if we take a look at where his hide-out cave was located, I figure a follow-up operation would come at a too high cost, considering that Pakistan do got the A-bomb.

    I figure Bin Laden won the first battle then, the battle of Freedom of speach. His death was a small sacrifice for that great victory.

    Hardly, this forum had a political discussion, but they are hard to manage when threats start flying around. If he had won, that would have never been possible. Also, you can go to thousands of other forums which discuss that very thing freely and openly. This isn’t a world forum, it is a private forum, owned by David Jensen, who also solely pays for the bandwidth and site storage. This isn’t a country.

  • Sorry, I got the point.


  • this is our own country! :-D


  • Pakistan
    (music from  Toto’s Africa)

    They trained for months to get it right
    while the news did not report the building of his mansion.
    With folks around him, lips are tight,
    the locals pondered about this family’s insulation.
    Their choppers journeyed far that night,
    there would be no marker for his shrine in the ocean
    ten years of searching for this fight
    the win churns up emotions not the same …

    Chorus
    When the towers burned, they vowed that you would too,
    You lied about the mission of your corrupted group.
    You started war, fled to Pakistan,
    Gonna take some blood to do the things we never had.

    The counter options reviewed up high
    many off the table for fearing misaimed damage
    They did not let the ends paralyze
    let the officials worry about their own reelection image
    There is no end to war in sight,  ten years to reach this sheltered town

    Chorus

    (Instrumental break)

    the win churns up emotions not the same …

    When the towers burned, they vowed that you would too,
    the extra wife will not protect you from your doom

    after Friday prayers in Pakistan,  send our elites down in Pakistan!
    You started war, fled to Pakistan.
    Send our elites down in Pakistan !
    Send our elites down in Pakistan !
    Gonna take some blood to do the things we never had.
