Well, you kind of moved the goalposts there, didn't you? So, when you said "invaded", you didn't mean, "invaded". Okay.
No, I really did mean "invaded"... I'm sorry you are one of these morons who thinks, "Hey, we didn't invade, we just bombed the shit out them and killed civilians. That makes it okay."
Does conquering a sovereign country with the express and sole intent of stealing all of their resources and purging its society count as a greivance? (Iraq)...by the way, shitty example, as the jihadists wanted the overthrow of the secular Iraqi government. Where were they when Iraqis slaughtered Kuwaiti Muslims? You say this is their beef with us...where were they when Iraq, ostensibly, did exactly the thing that you can't match with a single example of the United states doing?
Okay, yeah there were babies thrown out of incubators... oh, wait, no, that was a lie perpetrated by the Bush Crime Family and the Kuwaitis.
Point is, we killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis because the Oil Companies didn't want to deal with Saddam and the Zionists wanted him gone.
Stick your dick into a hornet's nest, complain about getting stung. American foreign policy.
Spare me that "arming the Taliban" bullshit. The 9/11 terrorists used none of those weapons. None of that money. They were primarily Egyptians and Saudis who saw the United States as standing in the way of the next caliphate. We don't have to "guess", here. They told us why they did it.
I think you must be some kind of border line retard. The reason why Bin Laden became so prominant is because we gave him and his followers the prestige of having beat the Soviets. If they can beat the Soviets, they can beat the AMericans and Zionists! We created this monster. And much like Frankenstein, we lament the things the monster we created eventually did.
"We supported the Zionists"
Yes, their religious enemy. You are making my point and undermining your own. "My God can beat up your God"
Oh, Please. THe one thing the Zionists have been very good at is playing us to make us think that THEIR fight with the people they robbed, is our fight.
Back in the 1970's, the PLO - you know, the people all living in refugee camps because the Zionists stole their land - were all a bunch of pro-Russian communists. and then our focus shifted from Communists to "Jihadists", and lo and behold, the Palestinians all became Jihadists.
And spare me any accusations of Islamophobia. We need to be empowering moderate Muslims to reform their horrible religion from within. We need to be defending the very people most affected by jihadist violence: Muslims. And your equivocation and apologetic, Zionist canards serve only to empower terrorists and keep the moderates in a perpetual state of oppression. You should be ashamed of yourself.
again, guy, here's the thing. How many people have we backed over there because they were guys we can deal with?
Bin Laden was a guy we could deal with, because he hated the Commies! And then he turned on us.
Saddam was a guy we could deal with, because he hated the Ayatollahs in Iran. And then he turned on us.
The Rebels in Libya were guys we could deal with, because they hated Khadafy. and then they turned on us and attacked Benghazi.
So let me know who these "moderates' are so when they turn on us, I can say, "I told you so".
Or we can try the novel of idea of just getting out of that region, and minding our own ******* business.
