(OT:) China warns US, "Don't shoot down satellite"

You believe that because you assumed they fired an armed missile, they did not. They shot it with what was more akin to a "bullet." LOL

Another member of the kooky left is in the NG it appears LOL

DUH! Whay makes you think anybody cares about you? My response was directed to the thread.

No, it wasn't.

Ach-so!

Ask him if he's ever heard of Omega Optical in Vermont...

And we're sending all our money over there?!?!

Believ me, I have begun looking for "Made in China", to AVOID it if at all possible!

And I never assumed that FP isn't full of hipocrasy. On the contrary, it's LOADED!

He wasn't harmless, he had $48B stashed away that was supposed to have been used in the "Oil for Food/Medicine" program. None of that money went to what it was meant to, and what do you suppose he was going to do with it?

I wonder why we didn't give a f*ck about other (and worse) humanitarian horrors going on at the same time in other countries.

Were they threatening the US?

No, and neither was Iraq. Here's the correct answer: Some backwater country in Africa had nothing we need, unless we happened to have a sorghum shortage at the time. If millions of people were being hacked up with machetes in a country which had oil, we would've been all over it like stink on s*it.

I'll see him on Tuesday.

Still not answering questions, I see.

Naw, he likes to watch.

Nothing kooky or leftist about it, just realistic.

Not a smile of satisfaction though, but rather of enjoyment at your statement and its arrogance.

No doubt about it ...

When Powell did his infamous Powell-Point Presentation in front of the UN, all I could think was "no way, no-one is going to believe this crap". Lo and behold, my government did (The Netherlands), damn, was I surprised. All of the sudden, the US had to go into Iraq while there was no proper evidence back then, and there still isn't any right now...

Damn. And during all this time, Afghanistan is getting from bad to worse... Great job there.

Correct.

But strenght can be measured in many different ways.

The BBC early this morning said Afghanistan is doing GREAT!!!! It was a story about Bin Laden, and it was something to the effect that now he's in Pakistan, things are evening out in Afghanistan.

Course, the BBC has been proven wrong by some in this group...

Where in the Netherlands?
