Wallstreet Is Total Manipulation!!!

i don't have to name all those nations. the claim was that NOBODY except for 1 supported us

so, all i have to disprove the claim is to provide ONE other. that would make 2. which would make the 1 claim a lie, or just an ignorant error.

here you go: Australia

hth

will the OP admit his claim of only 1 other country was a falsehood?

probably not. this is the internet, where intellecual dishonesty runs rampant

but i will reserve judgment and wait for a response...
 
Quote from whitster:

dood, get a clue

this is 100% empirically verifiable as false

"High when we initiated a unilateral war, against the approval of very nation on planet earth except 1"

there were many nations that supported us besides the UK. get a frigging clue

and this does not mean i support the decision to invade. that's irrelevant to the fact that you are spouting lies.

i never support either dishonesty or ignorance. and your post is one or the other

Australia sent 2000 troops to Iraq. That's 2000 men. Well over 3000 US servicepeople were killed in Iraq since 2003.

I suppose that's support of sorts, it was the same number they committed to Afghanistan, which wasn't technically a 'war'. However, some would not call it support, given the huge outcry at home. I have Aussie friends who loathe America as a result of that help, but yah, they technically helped.

For your edification, the 4 nations that 'helped' were USA, UK, Australia, IRAQ. Per Wikpedia, listed in % of population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_contribution_to_the_2003_invasion_of_Iraq

So by your statement that there were "many nations" that supported the war, and there was in fact only 1 other out of 240 nations, while I stated that only 1 did, the UK, who's the liar?

Unless 1 is defined as 'many'.
 
Canada refused to send troops. You don't remember the hue and cry? They actually went so far as to harbor our AWOL who didn't believe in the war either, it was quite a stinky: http://www.resisters.ca/resisters_stories.html

Actually, a few Eastern European countries claimed they supported the war as well (wanting more favorable trading relationships, or aid from the US). I recall that one or 2 sent a hundred or so men to be 'observers'.

As for Isreal, Isreal is always 100% behind the US. I don't really know why they didn't help. Maybe they helped provide some intelligence early on, but it's a fact they didn't do anything whatsoever militarily. I remember now.

Because it was perceived at the time that 1. we didn't need their help. 2. they would be vulnerable from all sides if the US military was tied up and couldn't defend them if the entire Middle East went crisis at once, and they were ganged up on.

If we were losing, I'm sure they would have helped, but it's hard to see how we could lose, given that we were lied to about WMD, chemical weapons, etc, and Bush knew it when he got on National TV to tell us that's why we were going to war (the CIA had already given him their report by then about how there were no WMD in Iraq).

He knew we were fighting a bunch of unenthusiastic for war people who were underfed and undersupplied for 12 years due to US trade sanctions. What would we need Isreal for at the time?
 
Really, the bigger point was how the Iraq war was VERY unpopular at the time with most of the world, and now that the truth about the reasons for war turned out to be Bush's fabrications, are even more unpopular.

Over that war, the US became the laughingstock of the world. Perhaps laughingstock isn't the right term... rabid uncontrollable imperialist?

We'll see what next year brings. Next year with a Democratic controlled Congress what kind of special commission to investigate Bush will come about. It was not possible with a Republican controlled Congress, but the Republicans no longer control Congress as of Jan 1.

Not sure what this has to do with stocks, but there it is.

Whitster, you ever going to explain your brilliantly successful intraday TA? You asked, I explained. Your turn?

Umm where did I say I was a super bear you moron? Unlike you, I play both sides of the market. I dont give a shit if it goes up or down...as long as we get some volatility. If you read (I am guessing you can) what I said, I believe a huge dump in the mkt would be great for trading....BOTH sides that is. More volatility.


When I come on here ripping idiots like yourself, its not because I want the mkt to go down....it's because you are a whining wanna be trader who wont shut his fucking trap. Alwyas crying about manipulation....always blaming others for your failures....the best is when you claim you are leaving, then 3 minutes later you start a new thread whining about how the mkt is propped up by "all the big players".

As far as cheering with the bulls......read what I wrote you half a moron, I was ripping on that other dope bluestreak who like you, is biased to one side of the mkt...the only difference is the side he is biased is the absolute wrong side right now....both of you are similar species (see.......MORON)...it's just he is both an idiot and getting crushed.....


Alot of curse words from a little amature, who has never made a correct call here at ET.
