Cholera in Iraq,. .keep it quiet..Oct 9th, 2007 - 13:53:15

I would be far more interested to see why the US is also trying to hush-up the 5000 cases of cholera in Iraq ,caused by bomb damaged water supplies and raw sewage, none of which has been repaired, or will be

Tonny, the neoLEFTIST.Oct 9th, 2007 - 19:29:04



Yes, everyone believes the security group just started shooting for sheer boredom and spite.

I am sure there was no threat or insurgents ready to attack the Americans.

You would just love to see Americans not fire so they can just be killed than monkeys like yourself can criticize us from the comfort of your parents basement.

I dont know why you leftist-dhimmi slave Europeans hate American forces so much, it is the same military that saved you skirts twice this century.

When the next European war begins, I will be protesting any US attempts to send troops to the old world when the muslims rise up and make Europe the next Lebanon.

We should not save you a 3rd time this century.

Oh I forgot to add, when american private security merceneries are conracted to Iraq, they are 'immune from prosecution'
I.E. They can get away with murder.
I think the European Court of Human Rights should take a look at this one.

SP4: again...and again...and againOct 9th, 2007 - 23:32:57

Let's see here....some rent-a-soldiers just went 'yee haa' and just went into some kind of Quenton tarantino kill-crazy shoot-fest.... in a country full of armed insurgents just itching to kill every westerner they can put in their sights!

Yep, Tonny, that sounds perfectly f--king reasonable to me! Golly, THAT was easy. After all, the enemy wears red and marches in a straight line!

How many of these accusation-laden stories have been debunked since we got there?

Most of these press accounts start with the perposterous, where applicable and then, like a lens on a camera, come into focus as time goes on. Look at the Duke rape mess. Or some of these fire fights in Iraq.

Hurricane Katrina was the gold standard with:

Rapes in the superdome - proven to be false

Shots at helicopters - none EVER recorded

In one sensational urban legend after another, the facts are found not to match he media's suppositions.

These were things that happend right here. Now we are expected to take for fact, accounts from half way around the world, where fact is about a scarce as gold, and the truth is something you only hear about from a guy who knows a guy...

Hungarian idiot, WWI and WWII were in the 20th century. 2007 is in the 21st century. Oh and Hungary was allied with the Nazis.

Boz....the UNTERMENSCH!!!Oct 10th, 2007 - 04:14:23



I know they were in the 20th century so what is the difference you moron?

Are we Americans supposed to restart the century clock now to give you another 2 freebies to bail you out of wars you can not ever hope to win fighting Germany!

It means nothing to the 628,000 DEAD Americans, whether it is 20th or the 21st century...they are STILL DEAD thanks to your Euro cissies who prefer skirts to pants these days.

Oh yeah, America was allied with the Communist Russians and Chinese jagbag who combined killed appm. 47 million of their own citizens BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER WW 2 so where does that put American foreign policy you son of a douchebag?

Hungary was smart to ally with Germany.
Were they supposed to run into the arms of Soviet, Stalinist Russia who stole Hungarian lands after the WW 1 ended??

It is so easy to play Mrs. Knowitall decades after the war has ended, with the real men dead, and tampons as yourself spouting ignorance on your mother's computer.

You know skatah (as the Greeks would tell you) of history and foreign policy.

Go kiss and bend over to a muslim raghead dhimmi slave.

The one and ONLY Hungarian Crusader-1453

Sadly, Boz needs everything spelled out.Oct 10th, 2007 - 04:33:46



I think leftists are grabbing at straws here.

It is obvious our Hungarian associate meant the 20th century, he was referring to the last 100 year period.

Typing in and pointing out the 2 wars occured in the 20th century would be pointless and unnecessary, but Boz needed extra clarification.

Boz needs to ease up on the drinking.


Angry and fed up with Europeans blaming America for absolutely everything.

Well they are certainly responsible for the disasterous war and the mess that is called IRAQ.

Ditto with a so what.

The Iraqui scum fired first and the media and the liberal/communist members of the U.S. congress are acting as provocateurs in support of terrorists who would/are murdering poorly led servicemen and citizens.

It is clear now that the use of nuclear weapons would have been the best solution for this matter as well as Syria, Iran, palistine (sic) and the rest of the muslim terrorist states.

Let's not split hairs over this matter, let's split atoms.

This is because they've enjoyed the security provided by the rest of the world for so long, they NOW feel entitled to object to others like the Iraqi people who would like the same security for themselves.

I am proud to say we are truly making Iraqi's life a lot better; under US occupation Iraqis are able to see their Maker a lot faster than they were under Sadam.
