Also, it's no more destabilizing than Obamallama launching strikes inside Pakistan to get Al-Qaida.
You assume that this is a sure thing. I haven't read anywhere about any plans made by Obama to launch attacks inside Pakistan to attack Al-Qaida. If it happens, and it's done like this recent attack in Syria, without working with the government of said country, I'll gladly denounce it.
Quote:
You do know we are at war right?
Not with Syria. At least not yet.
Quote:
We are at war with Al-Qaida. We struck Al-Qaida not Syria. Syria isn't exactly forthcoming in their efforts to deter terrorists from entering their country.
I love how America thinks that what other countries do is their business. Also, you can't technically be at war with an organisation. A country? yes. A band of rebels within one's own country? of course. An organisation that runs out of several countries? Not really.
Quote:
Every country in the world knows if they harbor terrorists affiliated and or associated with Al-Qaida there is a good chance that we will launch strikes inside their nation.
And you think that launching attacks on random countries because a member of Al-Qaida might be there is an acceptable course of action? Holy ****, what kind of BS are they feeding you yanks?

I hope to hear all the uproar from everyone single one of you in this thread when Obamallama does the exact same thing here, except with one key difference. Bush didn't announce to the world we were going to strike inside Syria, Obama does. Key difference.
Yes, it is a difference. Announcing it to the world would likely mean either a declaration of war against said country or a joint operation in co-operation with the forces of said country. That is how a war is waged, you don't just walk into the territory of other countries and start shooting.

Terrorists do not strike military facilities.
If it wasn't almost 4 in the morning, I'm sure I could find many articles about terrorists attacking military facilities for you. But it is in fact almost 4 in the morning, and I just don't have that much energy to waste on you.
Quote:
I wouldn't feel one bit of empathy toward you at all if one of your family members were killed in a terrorist attack since you so willingly throw aside your fellow countrymen who are fighting just so you can say the things you are saying.
2 things:
1. You're almost as terrible as varus, making a comment like that. Sick ****.
2. Not supporting an act of war is far different from not supporting the troops. Example: as a Canadian, I do not support your war in Iraq, but I do however support the soldiers themselves.

Jihad is an ideology.
If it is an ideology, it's only just barely an ideology.
Quote:
This is not a traditional style war.
Because it's not a war.
Quote:
Terrorist intermingle themselves amongst civilians.
Yes they do, you're actually right about something, congratulations.
Quote:
If you are to blame anyone for collateral losses, then it is the Terrorists themselves and how they conduct themselves and not how we are forced to choose to take them out.
I blame both sides. I blame the terrorists for hiding amongst civilians, and I blame the hunters of said terrorists for deciding that blowing up half a small town in order to kill 1 terrorist is a better course of action than sending troops in.
Quote:
So, I guess, if Bin Laden was amongst 15 civilians and we had a chance to strike and take him out, you would be against it?
Yes. Primarily because if you can actually see him among those 15 civilians, then you probably have someone in the area watching and can probably wait for those 15 civilians to walk away and then have a sniper blow his brains out. If this statement is wrong, I apologize, I'm not in the army.

This is reality, there is no room for ideology when you have National Interests at stake.
