I said it from the start. Even on 9/11 I twigged that something was going down, something fishy.

Eh, the principle of revenge. Are you just gonna let that guy's death go unpunished? Nothing like letting the headloppers off the hook, eh? Sikorski has offered 1million PLN for info about their whereabouts. It suggests he wants to act and he asked the US for help.

Well, there have been many breaches of international law. Trust me, it was my major at Uni.

The Poles pulled out of Iraq too, Wahldo. How about that?

You have a point though, Britain doesn't make friends so easily. The following represents the attitude of some Brits:

Germany: Big no no, arrogant
France: Goddamn frogs who never speak our language
Spain: Why don't they make English breakfasts? Why Spanish food? ;)
Italy: Greaseballs who can't stabilise anything
America: Warmongers hellbent on profit
Canada: Who? (Maybe part of our Commonwealth?) ;)

So it goes...

News / "We buy out Poland, Hungary, and Romania!" - the President of Israel [74]

Aha, so it's ok for the President of Israel to say such ridiculous and far-reaching things but not the Iranian PM? Maybe the world should be paranoid and abandon what he said too, right?

I think you'll find that the Brits are not particularly keen on 'those pigs'.

You certainly have better intentions than he does. What does this 'strategic partnership' entail?

News / Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]

Oh, let me guess, the Pakistani authorities will take care of it? Let me put it to you this way, are international law and territorial sovereignty always respected? What'd happen if Israel started killing people in Gaza? ;) ;) You'd expect the chance for revenge, right?

GROM are an anti-terrorist unit, that's what they do. The War on Terror is completely phony is you can't go after the terrorists. DUH!!

USA, Canada / Senate Approves $838 Billion Economic Recovery Package [9]

Rest assured that some of that money was not fronted by David Rockefeller. I wonder what he has planned for Obama.

News / Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]

How is that an act of war? It's about exacting revenge for a needless and brutal attack. Would you rather wrongs were left unpunished?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GROM here. Given the ineptitude of the Pakistani authorities, they will likely acquiesce and grant GROM passage in. I don't see why they object so much, are they really interested in fighting this war? Their casualty count would suggest so.

Welcome on board. It's going to be quite hard to trace those names as they are rare. If standard options don't bring any joy, some here can suggest alternative ones.

I favour the latter, bargaining power. What has happened though is that people have been told that their possessing a nuke could be detrimental and they mustn't procure one. I outlined just a couple of ways that Ahmedinejad tripped himself up. America also isn't free from that. They let us believe that Saddam had WMD's for God knows how long. Over a decade likely. So, if he can possess them and be a worse tyrant than Ahmedinejad (Ammy) which, let's face it, he was, then Ammy has his excuse.

Yes, I would allow an arsonist to have a box of matches. As long as all the matches had been struck :)

I think you are right but those stories, to my knowledge, were unsubstantiated and likely corroborated only by Neocon hawks.

The bottom line is, as we both know, second guessing. You know, if there is a realistic prospect that Iran is pursuing this line which they allegedly were years ago, why let them continue to develop and then impose sanctions?? Iran will employ stalling tactics at critical moments. Well, if they were smart they would.

He has made the point that other countries are allowed to pursue nuclear energy. We can't indict people based on suspicion unless there are compelling mitigating factors which demand close scrutiny and may raise the level of proof.

Eminent Farsi experts were drafted in to analyse that speech. Their conclusions were unanimous. Vanishing was mentioned.

Nice thread, Wrocław. It raised some good points. It's amazing how people make jobs out of what others do for free, e.g listening ear/therapist.

Or bez niczego for example, meaning without anything.

For sure, how does a Hungarian Jew become president of France anyway? He went on a huge ego trip after winning an accolade from Time magazine and brokering a ceasefire back in Aug in the Caucasus. It was a fragile ceasefire anyway.

The man is a buffoon

Good article, lesser. He should learn when to keep his beak shut. He's not the President of the EU now but he seems to act otherwise. The man is all about profit and self interest. I'd've wagered people that he would have achieved nothing in Gaza. He pranced around like a VIP, lapping up the luxuries of Sharm Al Sheikh. He's more like a PIV, pretty ignorant vagabond.

This bureaucrat has nothing to offer Poland.

Life / 52% Poles: life in Poland is bad... [46]

I think, to be honest, that this is an instinctive reaction of Poles. Go with the negative if asked. I think that, were you to alert them to the good things in their country, they'd change their tune.

It was funny, I did an A-Z list of Polish associations and my list was much more extensive than theirs. They had all kinds of funny nonsense in there.

I agree, John. As Bush said, "there's time for politics". It's all politics. I enjoy discussing things with you as you question things. Whenever I mention Ahmedinejad, I instantly get this "wiped off the map" crap. He never said that. He wants Israel to vanish but that's because he clearly sees them as being at the source of the conflict and terrorists of Palestinians. Which is true! Wanting them to vanish does not mean that he'd nuke them.

News / Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]

Sorry, this is in Polish but it basically says that Sikorski is willing to put up cash to the tune of 1 million PLN to those who can provide him info on the guilty murderers. Geez, I'll volunteer. They are bearded, with turbans and live in Pakistan. Good enough? ;)

What a waste of cash. You don't see Pakistan offering that kind of money for every soldier killed on their side. They'd be bankrupt quite quickly :(

News / Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]

Not a war, no. Just that GROM target those responsible for that unforgivable act. They were in Iraq before so could be redeployed to Pakistan. Nrx made a good point about the high level of casualties sustained by the their forces. Nobody bats an eyelid there. We care much too much for our own and little for others. I'm guilty of that too as can be seen from the first line.

LOL. Rumour has it that Sarkozy had a meeting with his right hand. The meeting has been cancelled due to multiple past meetings being deemed sufficient.
