War in Russia!

Judging by our education system, it really looks that way.

Yea all that free education...who needs it?

How many bones can throw someone until they realize what they have?

But yes, you have a valid point there. It is easy to bash Bush ( but, then again, that was not, in the slightest, the object of this thread ), BUT, he is the first person to have put himself in the position. He alone did more damage to your countries rep than one might think possible.

Even staunch US "supporters" abroad ( like myself, and many others ) find it hard, very hard, to maintain our views and to counter the increasing schasm that is developing between Europe and the US "foreign policy"...

sorry about that, now this really is a derail rom the thread....

You should go through the thread before staring to make unfounded assertions.
By blunder I mean, in the context of the discussion, only the results of the US Army.

Please explain your comment then. Am I wrong to assume that you meant that all of the US military operations have been blunders since WW2 (and maybe even that one)?

It just seems like bashing the U.S. is the common fad now-a-days, and frankly it's one that has worn out it's welcome for me.

Agreed, i'm a dem, and have a lot of opposition to Bush's policies and decisions. But after a while people need to realize they can't do anything about it...so you might as well live with it, or move?

Like the protest groups...oh the irony. You are protesting the government that allows you such freedom!!!

We appreciate your support because it is certainly something that is failing in these days, but some of your statements I would just disagree with. I dont think he's the first to put himself in that posistion, and while I don't think he's the best president ever, I think he's far better than most believe, and I also think that judging a President during his term is a very difficult thing to do. Most great Presidents have had their effects felt long after they leave office.

I also apologize for the derail.

That is my opinion, yes.

Big armament and high tech toys aside( which everybody hopes will not enter into the equation ), and logistics aside ( which is arguably the key to a good army ) , the US army does not have a history of sucess in conventional warfare.

2.) U.S. needs to learn to keep their noses out of things that we have no business getting into. Condeming and even asking them to withdraw by ourselves with no other backing I think whether we have concern for georgia or not kinda scares me. U.S. goverment likes to bark too much when they should just be silent and carry a big stick. U.S. goverment always has to feel like they can fix everything.

The conversation probably went like this: "Hey Vladimir, check out the rack on that one."

So your excited about going into yet another country that doesn't want us, to try and be the world police yet again, with someone who has the capability of ending the world.

Edit: Can't believe George Bush even made a comment regarding the issue. Let them deal with their own problems.

Time for Team America to step in.. as usual

I heard him utter those words too. I stopped hoping for any intellegence out of the man years ago, so for me his statement went in one ear and out the other.

Judging by our education system, it really looks that way.

This is just for starters. You were right this thread has nothing to do with US politics, what bothers me is how this stuff can just be oozing from people. They cant help but put our country down. I understand some of them are not from this country, but I also know some of them are. It's just something that bothers me, thats all.

Ok, I disagree, but it's not meant for here. And I should not have used that quote of yours to illustrate my point. There are unfortunatley though, many others that do.

Hey I'm a Patriots fan, I consider them losing the Super Bowl and filming opposing teams sidelines major blunders and am embarrassed about it, but still wear my jersey's and wave my flags on game day Just because people don't talk highly of our military doesn’t mean they are not thankful for having them around.

Sorry to the OP, back to the "War in Russia"

Good point, however I would argue that jerseys sales are down.
