News / Polish engineer beheaded in Pakistan. [347]

Yeah, the objectives should be quite clear but it's amazing how rugged the Taliban is. They have dug their heels in and are in for the long haul. Karzai is becoming more Taliban friendly after repairing old wounds.

he's a pashtun

I can't say that I would put it on the top of my lists of places to see.

why not? it was on mine until '01 or so..

I doubt in democracy there

not as we know it.

Most Afghans are not Talibs,

no but most afghans are pashtun and many pashtun are talibis.

Even Alexander the Great couldn't do much with that area. Screw it.

pashtuns have never been conquered or submitted

well, this is just another attempt, according to the article. i find it pretty weird. it seems like a set back for the "war on terror" thing.. it also weakens the pakistani gov.

It's up to governments to stablize populations.

if you vote, you ought to know how you want the gov to represent you. US has not been dealing with the greater middle east properly. imho.

This is why I question the wisdom of the US going into Iraq.

it was a huge blunder. we should have concentrated on obl and his ilk.

Ok...and which of the ones you refer to were not involved in a terror cell or related activities? If they weren't captured in combat, how do you propose to apply Geneva conventions, (which apply specifically to warfare) at any rate?

i believe in many cases it was simply pure kidnapping by the US.

Not true. Originally, they were simply "terrorist detainees" however uproar from people such as yourself demanding they get rights guaranteed combatants, (such as were respected for captured Iraqi Army )under the Geneva conventions both prior to and after capture...led to the new term. Terrorists are specifically excluded from protection...therefore people did not want a spade called a spade otherwise "no holds barred" is completely within the realm of the allowable.

look it up homesteak. you're WRONG. geneva conventions mandate some kind of court proceedings.. how many gitmo inmates have seen a judge?

shrubbery was trying to avoid having to deal with the conventions man.. thus the newest term. this gets them out of having to follow anything. it escapes american courts.. this is exactly how it's been until now, not the other way around.

Back this up please? or is this just more sensational sounding information you somehow "know"?

google. pretty easy to find who's been sitting in one of those, in PL specifically.

Geneva conventions

geneva conventions don't exclude anyone man.

hen why should we even try?

is this the winning american attitude? we're all screwed if that the way general public think. but since Obama won, i think not.

I think known terrorists should be shot on sight rather than captured,

oh that civil.

You obviously value their comfort over the lives of their victims,

and you just want to go murder randomly? i want the truth not a bunch of BS.

your self important sense that you have the moral high ground will not be bothered when innocent people are butchered in a Baghdad basement,

are you in the pictures from abu ghrabi?

Just because you or some other nutjob thinks, "oooh there's a conspiracy" because you disagree with the findings of the investigation...does not mean there should be another one, nor that there was "shoddy work". "I don't care how much it costs" doesn't sound like someone who is paying for it themselves...If you want to fund one from your private income and have something conclusive that counters the official findings...by all means, submit it to the authorities.

so you are content with being a sheep? there are plenty holes in the 9/11 "investigation" and for the money that was spent i'd think you'd also expect the whole truth and not the crap we got. i am not after a different result.. i just want the WHOLE truth.. not just some stuff that fit into the old president's agenda.

You speak of ignorance, yet you claim knowledge about military tactics, strategy, etc. assuming people go around "bombing willy-nilly". This is a hypocritical statement. The fact is you are ignorant yourself, in this regard, but post as if you somehow "know" what is being done or is not. You point at all the ignorance you assume is in the U.S. ...but it is written all through your own posts. Unless, by "ignorance" are you referring to people who disagree with you? either way I see it, your statements are off the mark.

you seem clueless.. i implore you to educate yourself on this topic. it's sad to see the USA continuing making blunders that unfortunately also adversely effect others.

What? I am the ignorant one? Wrong. I am the last person on this forum, probably, who would ever invade another country or terrorize. Why can't everyone be like me?

you seem to support it at least.

the ignorance statement i surely meant in general because the level of ignorance in the US is astounding. you admit to not having some lack of knowledge in this matter so start exploring the subject/s in greater depth. it's a subject we'll have to deal with for a long time to come, i feel, unfortunately.

Ones who are kept because they were captured in combat,

there were a lot of people detained in other way there.

the definition of an enemy combatant (which would allow them protection) is quite specific, and they do not fit it therefore the term "illegal enemy combatant" was coined, to justify Geneva conventions protection while ignoring that these often used civilians as shields

no, no, no man. it's kind of opposite to what you said actually. making them illegal combatants was a way for shruco to get around the geneva conventions man. this is mainly the reason why gitmo is such a disgrace.

The big ones...

some but many are in the "secret" prisons in PL and I and who knows where else.

, but ignore the portions about who is excluded.

the point is that NO ONE should be excluded if USA's to have moral ground.. which USA lost long, long time ago..

You smugly say "investigations" in quotes,

i called it like i see it. shoddy work is shoddy work. i am thinking this is one of those investigations where i don't care how much it costs.. i want the whole truth. otherwise it leads to people getting killed needlessly and US bombing willy nilly whomever.

What I wonder, is, what do they want to accomplish? What is the point of it? I don't think it matters. That is what I don't understand about terrorists.

you need to sit down and read up on this then. this is the main issue why america is pretty much hated around the globe. find out why because continuing being ignorant about this isn't going to get anyone anywhere.

their actions are reactions actually. find out to what.

This is ridiculous....The governments do not create the fear.

not really ridiculous at all...

History / What was Polands greatest historical moment? [24]

besides the 1920 and 1683 dates there are two more very important ones: the year 966 and 15 July 1410 but i can also think of at least another half a dozen dates that were pretty monumental.

Now YOU are making things up.

huh? why would US shipe them back without any other action then?

who says this is the "condition" there? again...?

ok, maybe the cells are 8x8. what's your point?

They insisted they are POW's

bush said otherwise, dude. not POWs but illegal enemy combatants, eh?

When they are deemed by some court somewhere to no longer be a threat, they are released.

most of the people release in the past didn't see any court or judge. jeez

they demand protection as the same under Geneva conventions, they have to be treated as such.

and thus far US has not granted them that status and is definitely not following the G. conventions in those people's detention.

your country does it too,

huh? how?

Ahhh I see now. Good luck avoiding those mind control transmissions...if ours don't get you, the Russians' will ;)

lol. the "investigations" of the events of 9-11 can hardly be called conclusive or total. there are tons of unanswered questions that the gov isn't willing to answer or seek an answer to.

It doesn't take away from the fact of what these particular individuals did to be put there in the first place.

seems US didn't really have jack shit on most of them.

Also the inmates were being treated so badly that they are getting fat.

you would to if you were caged up in a 6x6 "cell"

Not that you would know one way or other anyway.

dude. US shipped a bunch of them back without charging them with anything. thus bw's comment is TRUE.

POW's

they aren't pows, remember?

Do you honestly believe the US would be allies with Israel after that?

yup, sure would continue support of israel. uss liberty, anyone?

For that we are hated.

no, US is hated for meddling in others' affairs. get it straight.

conspiracy theories

just because YOU view them as such does not make them untrue, just unproven for now.

I don't blame the entire population.

the 'fuck pakistan" comment surely proved that. :rolleyes:

History / Col.Jozef Swiatlo-Secret agent, torturer, CIA-collaborator to be tried? [145]

The Party you were

lol.. i was never in any party hon. :D :D

It is you that has been claiming some moral high-ground by saying it was wrong of Poles to join communist party to better their situation but not for you chose to better your situation by emigating to the west...my point has been that you were doing exactly the same as those you condem that is acting purely out of self-interest to better ones personal situation. It is not me making any excuses or being judgemental for anyone wanting to better their situation. That is the only point I have been making.

exactly but for some reason she's not seeing that. hmm

You are also a hypocrite: you critise people who joined the Communist party purely for self-interest while you yourself left Poland purely for self-interest. You then go on to say that you are glad your parents didn't join the party because you wouldn't have been able to get the jobs you have had if they had joined the party. You aren't glad because they did the right thing for Poland: you're glad because of your own self-interest.

lol burn, baby burn. :D

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

So, can you bear in mind that from now on we are going to use an unemployed as a singular noun, similarly to the plural the unemployed????

lol. nice. you learned well grasshoppa'. ;)

Out with the puritans I say.

thanks, arseholes. ;) if that boat just never got here.. crap. :D :D

No, it`s OK. :):):) My bad. Too much on my mind.....

big huj, ya? hehehe

poor natural resources and climate.

what? what's england got? you're actually funny sometimes. :D

I think, to be honest, that this is an instinctive reaction of Poles. Go with the negative if asked.

totally. when in doubt, go neg. ;)

I did an A-Z list of Polish associations

come again..

Q 52% Poles: life in Poland is bad...

A. Well it's probably those who voted for PO!! And now they are disapointed!!

ouch. lol

And the other 58% are in another country......

that's really just the 1% dadek was talking about. :D

I am told its a national tradition

national or maybe even ethnic. look at crow or crazy_whomever..

its the same the world over.

yanks don't moan that much and are way, way more positive.

They are experts!

again, i agree. i can get moany as hell. <- tru. lol

poles are pretty darn good with using guilt too. experts perhaps too. ;) :D <-it's terrible and i hate it.
