Itt paradise! explains how the taliban is not a political ideology, and looks like a jackass in his failed attempt

itt: jerome thinks the word taliban is an ideology, and a political one at that.

religion is an ideology as well

So basically we didn't defeat the Nazis because there are still people who believe in Nazism

Only person who talked about winning or losing this war on terror was genocidal.

All wars are winnable - some just have very high prices.

If you read my post, nowhere do i suggest ways of defeating terrorism. I said it's naive to think bombing radical thinking afghans will end the War on Terror.


equating a WWII political ideaology with a 21st century strict interpretation of islam? thumbs up yo, thumbs up. That's a bit out there, even for you.

That's because you're slow and you honestly believe the liberal whining that the War on Terror is impossible because it's a war on an indeterminate state of mind. I'm not sure what makes you think you're so much more clear-headed than high-ranking military officials but you aren't. They have a clear enemy and while they may not have an exit strategy (at least a clear one) they sure as hell aren't trying to kill terrorist thoughts in everyone's minds in the entire world.

A-Class foxhole cover for ya boy. You going to whipe his ass too?

A clear enemy that is Terrorism, am I right? Terrorist ideas, a tenet of the Taliban's philosophies yeah? The Taliban stands for terrorism and hatred of the west. The Taliban is our enemy for what they believe in, have done, and plan to do. Simple and plain. Now, you can find billions who fit these criteria.
Thus, by squeezer saying:

"HURGAHH, they took our JERBS, bOmB datT middle east YERRR, THEY TOOK OUR JERBS"

It's easy to see he was mistaken. And by you saying

All wars are winnable - some just have very high prices.

, youre wrong

Please, continue believing that the War on Terror will end with the defeat of a bunch of afghan men hiding in some hills.

basically, a lot of us have learned that these reasons for war has been and always will be bullshit.

If you dudes want to flex your muscles and fight then just go ahead

DON'T BULLSHIT A BULLSHITTER!

[Squeezer]

p.s. All i deduced from Squeezer's comments were "bombing the shit out of the Afghans will get Terrorism and hatred of the West out of their minds".

that's because you're stupid. Like Gen said. I only stated that its possible to destroy opposing infrastructure and scare people into obedience through military force (especially when you can launch missles from hundreds of miles offshore and hit a target within a foot of the expected destination or are considered the world's last military superpower).

edit: keep it real. REAL REAL

I didn't even read all of this, but your point in the very beginning was that gitmo is in the process of being closed. That's great and all but my point remains that he has accomplished so little, too little to deserve the award.

And whether or not he inherited the past president's war's doesn't change the fact that he's in charge now and if he wants to pull troops out he can.

Don't even post if you aren't going to read. Obama ordered it's immediate closing the 2nd fucking day in office. Where the hell are you going to put the prisoners? Is this really what you guys believe?

You think you can just give the boot to hundreds of international criminals?
The U.S. has to negotiate with other countries to place them in Europe, essentially dispersing them.

Having them shutdown, seeing the prisoners sent overseas to different military prisons, and giving an expected date for when 100% of prisoners will have left, allows us to consider Gitmo as a shell of it's former self in the LEAST meaning Gitmo is shutting down as fast as it can.

The Nobel people at least saw that all efforts are being made to close Gitmo and that it is only a matter of time until the remaining few prisoners are left. They concluded it will eventually be 100% shutdown (jan 2010 i believe?).

if turkey and armenia can get along, we can learn to forgive and forget. we only human

[DoTheFandango]

i mean, he got it for the hope he enacted during his presidential campaign. he didn't nominate himself, you all need to chill.

[Galleleo]

Yeah, cause suddenly pulling all of your troops out a country that you have laid to shit surely improves world peace. Yeah, that would deserve you that prize for sure, just letting some country implode on itself without taking responsibility for what you have done.
