Barakzai's Recommendations

[BarakzaiAbdali]

Geronimo is the word for "target" in all special ops.
Osama Bin Laden doesn't "hate" us I don't think. Towards the end of his life he had a huge PR campaign to "freshen" his image. He was angry over our imperialism and "nice things." I still remember that video from like 2002 or 2003.

Wrong Matt. He was, in his belief, fighting a defensive jihaad. Stationing American troops in the Saudi Peninsula was a stupid mistake by Jimmy Baker and his crew.

Wrong also about Gerinomo. They called him that because they, the intelligence folks, understood him better than you do. That is why they respected his art and craft. They wanted to eliminate him because they knew that he embodied the Muslim world's angst over our policies and occupations. Gerinomo was the code word because of a historical similarity. Think about that, the special ops team respected their enemy enough to code name him that:

"Geronimo’s life story is a direct result of the invasion of the Apache territory and attempts to subdue the free and independent Apache. After his family was massacred by Mexicans in 1851, Geronimo became a Chiricahua Apache leader who fit perfectly into the non-Indian metaphorical frame “Indians Are Enemies.” He and a small group of fellow Apaches brilliantly eluded capture by 5,000 United States Army soldiers, 500 Indian scouts, and 3000 Mexican soldiers. The desert terrain was steep and formidable. The temperatures were extreme: intense cold and blistering heat. Geronimo and his band had very little food or water. What those Apaches accomplished is very likely one of the most amazing physical feats of stamina in the history of the human race. He finally surrendered in 1886."

basically the whole purpose of what America is doing in Afghanistan is to manipulate Afghans to fight and die for America's interests

the 80's all over again.

[faye]

america is a terrorist!!!

[ghundal]

this thread is for Barakzai's recommendations. Note to mods.

Now the KKK is a frikin terrorist organization.

Genocide on blacks and native Americans was a terrorist act.

Remember Emmit Till, a little black boy who was beaten to death, and dumped in a river?

Randolph85, our neighborly white friend who tries to portray to be someone else so that he can fight for no reason.

or get rid of america so there is no drug demand and no where for immigrants to go?

Geronimo is the "target." The president when being protected is called "Geronimo." Geronimo=target. You can try to get all sensationalized and radicalized over anything and everything...but GERONIMO=TARGET.

[BarakzaiAbdali]

there are hundreds of thousands of american troops stationed in muslim countries, by ur logic, muslims are allowed to invade and occupy america now?

There is no point here man. He refuses to at least concede that there might be valid reasons that people are mad at America, from Latin America to the middle east. Its because he was raised on the infallability of American policy. Sarah Palin embodied this when she said: "our weapons are a deterrent.... Irans would not be.!"

[ghundal]

Should I post a picture of Emmit Till, or the blacks who were lynched all over the nation?

Is that not terrorism?

[ScimitarXEdge]

You can! If you found terrorists in America I'm sure you could try to do the same.

Well isn't essentially most of the meddling America has done tantamount to state sponsored terrorism?

You may be right, but I need a reference. The world does not see it that way:

You really don't understand that when we leave Afghanistan...we have effectively either broken or derailed Al-Qaeda and/or the Taliban. Until that happens I'm sure it wont happen. And whatever the Taliban does, it receives back 3-fold.

He refuses to answer that for some reason. I dont know why he doesnt recognize that the greatest warriors, like Robert E Lee are pragmatists and practical. General Grant understood this about Robert E Lee and calculated his moves accordingly. Jackson, the general president even remarked that he understood why the Indians were fighting... and that he understood he would have to fight twice as hard to overcome their passion to survive.

except that more foreigners have died every year in afg since the start of the war.

gotta love that american intel logic. "we are winning, but we really arent winning"
