Vomiting and screaming...big deal, I did that at football practice, and I survived fine. Almost wish that we were waterboarded, since back in those days , we were allowed no water at practice.
Personally, I'm pleased to hear that these despicable medieval , loathsome creatures had to puke and scream.
Hell, it's not as if their fingernails were ripped out, arms & legs pulled out of their sockets, wounds untreated, refused food, etc. You know, like US prisoners in North Vietnam.
Spare me the "moral equivalency" crap.

The wheels were set in motion by the invasion of Kuwait. Without the kuwait invasion, gulf I and II never happens.

Not even getting into justification and most assuredly we could keep going further and further back hundreds and even thousands of years tracking some of the causes of the conflict.

There is no "provoke", there are no good guys and bad guys in this story.

This thread reminds me of all the handwringing over the US dropping nukes on Japan....right around the same time that the Russians were slaughtering twice as many japanese stranded in the lands north of Korea.

According to the US Navy, most of what you posted is untrue.

Admiral Fogarty's report:

Quote:
The data from USS Vincennes tapes, information from USS Sides and reliable intelligence information, corroborate the fact that [Iran Air Flight 655] was on a normal commercial air flight plan profile, in the assigned airway, squawking Mode III 6760, on a continuous ascent in altitude from take-off at Bandar Abbas to shoot-down.
As for no radio contact? The USS Vincennes hailed first on military frequencies - which aren't monitored by civilian airliners - and then on the air control frequency, but without identifying the aircraft. And as they were dead wrong about airspeed and ascent vs. descent, the information from their hails didn't match Flight 655.

The only - as you choose to put it - "tards" in that incident were wearing Navy uniforms.

Now that makes me wanna scream and vomit. Why I don't put you on my ignore list is beyond me. Maybe I just find you weirdly amusing yet sad, like watching a crazy man have a loud argument with himself on a subway platform.

I assure you the 3,000 killed on 9/11 were good guys.

These screams and cries from folks who think the terrorists are the good guys and everything is our fault is what makes me want to vomit. In their utopian world where everybody plays nice and flies kites with mikey moore and sadaam we are the bad guys in the world and everybody else the po widdle victim. How some can think like this is beyond me.

I am so glad I'm not the only one that finds ZERO outrage in the vomit and screams from terrorists.

And at the hands of crazed terrorists, when they are getting ready to behead the innocent. I wonder if blindfolded, as their heads are getting ready to be whacked off. If they even have a chance to vomit or scream.
I knew people killed on that fateful day in September, and i have seen and witnessed the pain and suffering still to this day, for loved ones being taken way way too soon. Terrible on my part maybe, but i have no pity, sorry and no i am not sorry.
