The truth is....

"It sounds good to some. We are heros to the world, too bad only anti-US media exist out side of the US. They really don't get the truth."

Heros to the world???

Latinos hate bush and what we're doing there. From what we see here on TheRx Canadians aren't real happy with us. You run into a lot of European tourist down here, hero is far from the sentiment they express.

If I remember right England took the first steps in standing up for Tawain.
Again Kuwait is nothing to brag about Kuwait was stolen from Iraq, who are we to determine their history all the moreso when our motives couldn't have been further from freeing Kuwait. Also we stop saddam from taking back the part of his nation that was stolen yet help Ireland get their part back, makes us a little hypocritical doesn't it.

Not to mention the bate and switch Bush Sr. gave Saddam before Iraq invaded Kuwait.

"That's a lot of good America has done."

Whether North and South Korea have a border between them means about as little as whether North and South Dakota have a border between them.

Coddling the Israelis and sending billions of dollars in aid while making budget cuts in the USA.....all in the name of trying worthless attempts to sustain a democracy in the middle east.....that's comparable and about as useless as trying to set a can of gas on the sun. Let them c0ck$uckers in Israel and the middle east fight it out like they have done for centuries already.

All the US does anymore is fight other countries civil wars and liberate countries who barely bother to put together a police force let alone any military power. Nothing more than a thankless job with the USA getting stuck with the dead to bury, the war bill and the tab for rebuilding, and an ingrateful foreign country yelling "Yankee go home."

Marco,

I would agree with you totally if when these countries like France get taken over we would completely write them off. The problem is we get roped into saving these countries because they cannot help themselves. We might as well write all of them off. Islam will take over most of europe in due time. france has no chance.

What's with all the Frenchaphobes around here, I'll admit I'm no big fan but they gave us the Statue of Liberty and the Louisiana purchase.

They've given the world the most culture in the way of arts.

You guys still pissed that they disagreed with going to Iraq or what?

 

[GAMEFACE]

kaya,

france is no friend of the US, they were on the take from saddam. where have you been?

 

[kayaman+]

On the take, well I'm aware they were doing business with Iraq at one point.

 

[xpanda]

Negotiations LMFAO! Iran will say anything, it doesn't mean for one second they do not plan to continue to build NUKES.

Then why is 'American intervention' not also a laughing stock? Or, when you said 'resolve the problem' did you actually mean 'obliterate them'???

 

[eek.]

kaya,
france is no friend of the US. where have you been?

My. How times change.
People like Gameface are the thanks the French get.
Don't know why they bothered, all those French lives lost for a bunch of ungrateful corn nibblers.

French military aid was also a decisive factor in the American victory. French land and sea forces fought on the side of the American colonists against the British. At the same time, British and French (and to a lesser extent, Dutch and Spanish) forces fought for colonial wealth and empire around the world. From 1778 through 1783 -- two years after the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown -- French forces fought the British in the West Indies, Africa and India. From the perspective of the American Revolution, however, the high point of French support is the landing of five battalions of French infantry and artillery in Rhode Island in 1780. In 1781, these French troops under the command of Count Rochambeau marched south to Virginia where they joined Continental forces under Washington and Lafayette. Cornwallis, encamped on the Yorktown peninsula, hoped to be rescued by the British navy. A French fleet under the command of Admiral DeGrasse intercepted and, after a fierce battle lasting several days, defeated the British fleet and forced it to withdraw. This left the French navy to land heavy siege cannon and other supplies and trapped Cornwallis on the Yorktown peninsula.

[eek.]

Thats the last time us French are helping you corn munching surrender monkeys.

 

[PatPatriot]

eek you little half a pink-o commie,

The only reason the french helped us during the revolution was to fxck with the brits.they haven't changed their liver spots much,if it wasn't for fxckin the US they keep their stuck up brown noses out of it.

 

[eek.]

You were actually quite lucky, Yorktown was the last major strategic defeat of the Royal Navy in a critical situation.
It effectively lost the Brits the New World.(America)

Because of this,a major change in Naval tactics was put into immediate effect known as "breaking the line"

After Yorktown we whipped the cheese eating surrender monkeys everywhere we met them. West Indies, Egypt, Trafalgar etc

1781 Cornwallis gets back to the coast at Yorktown, but supplies he needs from the British navy are blocked by French fleet under Admiral de Grasse at entrance to Chesapeake Bay. Meanwhile Washington, after a decoy move towards New York, which deceives Clinton, marches quickly to cut surround Cornwallis, who after a few weeks' siege, surrenders with 6,000 men. Battle of Yorktown effectively decides the war in favour of the Americans.

1782 Britain still has to fight to hold on to the West Indies. British Admiral Rodney defeats de Grasse at the Battle of the Saints, the first naval action in which the 'Breaking the Line' tactics were used on a large scale.

Eek - Everything you said about beating "Cheese eating surrender monkeys" occurred a century or more ago. All of Europe, with it's modern armies went about conquering the rest of the world; all except fot the America's, which the Monroe Doctrine saved from European depredations.

Gameface - excellent points in your opening remarks, but I disagree with your statement about the Europeans not being able to protect themselves - just look at the great job the French Army has done protecting France by killing off many people from the ravenous armies of civilians in the Ivory coast. By firing into the crowds of unarmed citizens, the French army has again proven it's ability to protect France from any undisciplined crowd.

Ya that was a great military victory by the French over the Ivory Coast neighborhood watch.

Wait till the Hitlers in head scharfs make their demands, France rolls over in a week.

 

[WHALE]

The way you guys see all the things that happened between this countries is just cold, the type of decisions that Bush has taken or will take about Iran or Irak or any other country will never change cos' is not one big nation speaking and taking decisions. is just the interest of a group of people that make the whole entire nation look bad.
