Taliban surrenders turn into stampede |
http://www.strategypage.com//fyeo/qndguide/default.asp?target=afghan.htm
March 26, 2005: More Taliban are surrendering, and the government expects
about a thousand to openly turn in their weapons and accept an amnesty.
These surrenders also provide information on Taliban who are not
surrendering. As a result of this, the government is turning more of its
attention, and guns, to the drug gangs...

So you're telling us that Bush & Rumsfeld were lying when
they claimed victory in Afghanistan three years ago?

The German army had an overwhelming victory
over the French in 1940. French resistance
fighters, in the thousands, still fought on
for years afterwards.

Interesting thing to me is it seems to be some vanity site by a guy who
appears to have trouble with the intricacies of the English language but
we're supposed to take as a reliable journalist.
I liked this one:
"March 29, 2005: The U.S. is spending $83 to upgrade two of the 14
airbases it uses in Afghanistan."
Talk about budget cuts!
Anyway, I can't find any actual cites to indicate from where this
"information" is coming. Just a vague, general song and dance over here:
http://www.strategypage.com/aboutus/default.asp
Though this is interesting:
"The proliferation of websites -from terrorist groups to NGOs to news
networks- offers the analyst a wealth of information"
Erm... websites as sources?
"Finally, there's 'our gang.' Over the years we have assembled an
interesting cadre of friends and acquaintances. A number of them have
military or foreign service experience."
Ah, he gets *letters...

Reads like a typical headline during the Vietnam era. Nothing new.
Interesting thing to me is it seems to be some vanity site by a guy
who appears to have trouble with the intricacies of the English
language but we're supposed to take as a reliable journalist.
I liked this one:
"March 29, 2005: The U.S. is spending $83 to upgrade two of the 14
airbases it uses in Afghanistan."
Talk about budget cuts!
Anyway, I can't find any actual cites to indicate from where this
"information" is coming. Just a vague, general song and dance over
here:
http://www.strategypage.com/aboutus/default.asp
Though this is interesting:
"The proliferation of websites -from terrorist groups to NGOs to
news networks- offers the analyst a wealth of information"
Erm... websites as sources?
"Finally, there's 'our gang.' Over the years we have assembled an
interesting cadre of friends and acquaintances. A number of them
have military or foreign service experience."
Ah, he gets *letters...
even more telling, - Fred thinks this source is so well proven he
actually is posting their articles assuming apparently every one
here would, without a thought, accept the unbacked 'facts' from a
vanity site.
I notice you haven't even tried to refute them.
Why would I go to the bother?
In order to back up what you say? Or is that too bourgeois for a
gulliberal like you?
LOL you fool. You are the one bringing up the extremely questionable
source with 'facts' - you back them up.
And to the point - I never said the facts were true or false. I just
said you had a complete lack of judgement expecting any old website
saying any old thing to be of any value to your arguments.
Can we say 'lack of judgement'?
See this mirror?
Don't you ever get tired of that old projection? It's proof positive
of your own lack of abilities.

Well, you weren't the one making the claim, Fred. The guy with the

didn't buy his claim, you suggested that she should try to debunk it.
Why would you say that, if you supposedly understand how the Burden of

As for the additional links that you provided, those are interesting, I
am sure, but why didn't you just post those in the first place? Why
bother with the website of some guy we've never even heard of, when you
could have pointed us directly to where he was getting his information?

Yeah, but you've had to bend yourself into pretzels trying to justify
yourself in doing it. It' hasn't been a pretty sight.
I prefer the morality of simple rationality and facts - you know, the
ones based on scientific principles that your buddy Bush hates with a
passion.

Because when somebody puts something on a website, it's obviously
true unless debunked!
If it's so obviously untrue it should be a piece of cake to debunk.
You mean like "God" Fred? Ever succeed in debunking it to a
Christian?
That's how we feel trying to get you to see sense about your
neocons.
Funny, that's how I feel trying to get you to see sense about your
gulliberals.

You should know all about bending yourself into pretzels, Kate. Just
look in a mirror.

Yes, your oversimplified single-minded gulliberalism. You know, the kind
that can't handle the idea that the case for invading Iraq had more than
20 separate clauses in it.

March 26, 2005: More Taliban are surrendering, and the government
expects about a thousand to openly turn in their weapons and accept an
amnesty. These surrenders also provide information on Taliban who are
not surrendering. As a result of this, the government is turning more
of its attention, and guns, to the drug gangs...
Reads like a typical headline during the Vietnam era. Nothing new.
Interesting thing to me is it seems to be some vanity site by a guy who
appears to have trouble with the intricacies of the English language but
we're supposed to take as a reliable journalist.
I liked this one:
"March 29, 2005: The U.S. is spending $83 to upgrade two of the 14
airbases it uses in Afghanistan."
Talk about budget cuts!
Anyway, I can't find any actual cites to indicate from where this
"information" is coming. Just a vague, general song and dance over here:
http://www.strategypage.com/aboutus/default.asp
Though this is interesting:
"The proliferation of websites -from terrorist groups to NGOs to news
networks- offers the analyst a wealth of information"
Erm... websites as sources?
"Finally, there's 'our gang.' Over the years we have assembled an
interesting cadre of friends and acquaintances. A number of them have
military or foreign service experience."
Ah, he gets *letters...
even more telling, - Fred thinks this source is so well proven he actually
is posting their articles assuming apparently every one here would,
without a thought, accept the unbacked 'facts' from a vanity site.
Can we say 'lack of judgement'?
I knew that you could.
Grasping at straws leads to interesting behavior?

"Down on last year's record levels" isn't cause for celebration. Last
year they were way up. They weren't *that high when the idiot taliban
was running things. Still I suppose you could call this a "stride".

That is a good sign. It will be even nicer when the Bush
administration manages to finally capture Bin Laden, of course. Or at
the very least, whoever was responsible for mailing those anthrax-laced
letters.
