you're right, the world is not black and white. And america is hardly the greatest country in the world.

America was attacked on 9/11 because American has sponsored terrorism through out the world. Now how difficult it is to accept that fact, your own professors like Naom Chomsky and many others say the same, yet you keep harping about 3000 killed while ignoring your countries murderous history! They did not invite you there and they are not expecting you to rebuild that is the agenda you touted.

The thing is,Most of what you talk is not public knowledge, People were scratching theirs heads in 2001 ,Sayin to each other " why did they do that, why do they hate us"?

The Machiavellian slime balls in Washington exploited the public's fear and anger for their own ends, Continued pumping out Jingoist rhetoric and marginalizing the voices of reason.

maybe I dont answer them cuz I didnt understand what the fuck you said, learn to fuckin spell. Second I am in the army to pay for COLLEGE, seeing as I couldnt even pay for a second year of it. I wasnt born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and no parents "like yours" saying "What do you mean she said you where ugly? You are a very handsome man, just like your father.... Huebert tell your son he's handsome!" Dad "Why!" look I know I picked on kids like you in highschool that aint my fault.

172ndsoldier, btw, I am not bashing the armed forces, just you, you dumb faggot.

I would called you a retard but that would be an insult to mentally disadvantaged people, it is apparent your intelligence is far below any mentally disadvantaged person. You get really defensive when asked any questions because you can't rub your two brain cells together to form a coherent thought. You make bold generalizations but you don't give any proof, not that I would expect that someone like you. your a faggotly little bitch that most likely failed elementary school.

...do you mean where ARE the results.... wow the first retard of the day..... sweet. they insult our military who have concern for the ppl of Afghanistan, we are a 1000 times better than Russia, you nerdy faggot

[172ndsoldier]

where ARE the results you fucking retard. They always bash troops, those hajji cunts want to make us crunts out to be racist hick babykilllers, where men of character. But if I am deployed, and I see Al Jazeera over there, the reporter is meeting the butt of my rifle.

[Soupaman219]

downplayed? Where is the results numb-nuts?

[172ndsoldier]

leave it to al jazeera to downplay the us military, even in the JUSTIFIED war. I wish a suicide bomber blew that cunt anchors head off
