There you go, making things up again. Just because you repeat it, doesn't make it so.
Quote: Durham Giant "Spreading fear and intimidation is also about weakening the enemies capabilities. It is the principle of modern warfare. You ahve heard of shock and Awe havent you. that is about spreading fear and intimidation. Was the bombing of Dresden designed to reduce Germany's military capabilities or was it to spread Fear and Intimidation to the whole of the German population.
In any war people regret the killing of innocent civillians. The IRA never celebrated killing Kids. They made mistakes strategically and practically and acknowlegded it. Unlike the British who have killed a million more kids than Irish Republicans ever had. Except to you they dont count because they were all s, mussies or fuzzie wuzzies. '"
You do realise WW2 has precisely nothing to do with your argument, and it's a sign of desperation akin to Godwin's that you bring it up.
I look forward to your evidence proving us British have killed a million kids in Iraq.
Wogs, mussies, fuzzie wuzzies? Really, have you lost your argument so badly you've resorted to firing racist terms at me? Deary me.
Quote: Durham Giant "i try understand them. That is where you fall down. You think a bit of condemnation will solve everything. Understanding why these things happen is more likely to lead to a solution to those problems.You again sound like a Sun editorial , criminal acts, mindless barbarism blah blah blah. Nothing intelligent just some ignoramnt emotional rant. Maybe you are a taxi driver and just think based on blind prejudices. Maybe you are too stupid to have a moral compass'"
What do taxi drivers have to do with anything? I understand the cause of Irish Republicanism just as well as I understand the cause of Al Qaeda. That doesn't mean I agree with it. It is possible to understand and disagree, you know.
Quote: Durham Giant "No i accept that in any war some acts are more regrettable than others but i have to accept that if you choose a side in a war or in a conflict actions will happen which impact on the innocent. You cannot pick and choose which ones you feel comforatble with.
If you support the troops in Iraq and the war in Iraq then you have to accept some reponsibility for the outcome in Iraq. You cannot say i like the removal of Hussein, i support the killing of his troops i support the giving of power to the Shias and then say, ooh i dont like the killing of the civillians today, or i dont like those radical shias i only like the nice friendly ones. You choose your side and have to accept the good and the bad. That is not confused that is accepting responsibility.'"
Completely wrong. Of course you can dislike actions if you want to! Are you your own man or some f*cking slave? Don't you have your own mind? If you support Irish Republicanism but disagree with some of their actions that's your call. You'd get a lot more respect by living by your own morals rather than accepting disgusting attacks just because you feel hip supporting them.
Jesus man, grow a f*cking pair.
Quote: Durham Giant "Except you are too weasley to accept that. What do you do read the paers and the military briefings and then decide which bits you are hapy with and which bits you are not'"
I make my own mind up, which seems to be more than you can manage.
Quote: Durham Giant "But was it a Law and order issue in which case shoot to kill without warnings was illegal or was it just a spectacularly successful military engagement. No complaints from me or the Republican movement just pointing out the inconsistency in British propaganda. Would you accept that warrenpoint was a well executed operation to destroy a para company.'"
You don't call warnings against terrorists armed with firearms and explosives, you kill them before they can carry out their attack. Sorry, but if your heros hadn't rocked up with a JCB and 200 lb of Semtex they wouldn't have been taught a lesson by the SAS.
And yes, Warrenpoint was a brilliantly executed operation. There's not much argument about that. Superbly done. Though I'd love to see you walk in certain pubs round here and say that.
Quote: Durham Giant "Whereas you just believe British propaganda.'"
What, like the Saville Enquiry that found 1 Para were responsible for the deaths? That sort of British propaganda?
Quote: Durham Giant "Are these the daft ones who were based on the 7/11 bombers. Yes you really did not understand that film at all.'"
It's a fooking comedy making a number of observations on all sides.
But you still come across as the daft one.
Quote: Durham Giant "A real Limey by Birth and a Plastic Limey by actions You plastic Limey.A real Limey by Birth and a Plastic Limey by actions You plastic Limey.'"
I realise you think 'Limey' is an insult. But is isn't. And I realise you think you've come up with something cool with the term 'plastic limey', but it just makes no sense and you sound like a fool.
