ZuluNation:


I support our troops I'm very proud of what you doing. God bless you for your service. Dude quit wasting your time replying to those HATERS it's not going to work, I've tried reading through the whole thread, do you know some guy says he gets all his information from CNN. I almost fell of my chair from laughing, CNN of all networks

By all means, support your troops.

Who are the HATERS? and what stands one out as a HATER?

theopops:

Txlonghorn, please kindly don't reply any more. Why you might ask, these people can never understand. My friend's brother has gone to Iraq twice and I know how it feels to be a soldier. At least, you have a country that supports you, not the one we have in Nigeria, that don't carry whether you are dead or alive, as long as they can steal all the money.

I am extremely proud of what you do and for serving the country and making me feel free to board planes and protecting me. Even the ones that reside in America, that are running their mouths, if only they took american history or politics in college or high school, they'll realise that, the freedom they are enjoying now, did not just happen. Brave men and women like you, fought for the freedom they are laying claim on now. If they so much hate Bush and all he has done, I am sure, the airport is not closed. They can please leave. No need for all these pretense. They sure can come back, in 2008, when a new president is in office. For now, Bush is the president, and if you don't agree with him, then go out and vote next time. At least this is not Nigeria, that you are scared the election will be rigged.

Once again, Txlonghorn, I really appreciate and support you and all the troops doing their jobs. May God bless you and be with you and the family you are about to start.

Haters, make I leave una.

Brave men fought for the freedom we now enjoy and we have to honour them. That freedom is what gives us enough to say what we think about George 'war monger' Bush. If you want to take that freedom away from us now, you should speak out.

That freedom was fought for and there is no reason why we should, in the guise of freedom, kill and maim others because they are different from us. If we continue to do that, one day it will rebound on us and we will regret not having spoken out in defence of the defenceless and the vulnerable.

We should not forget that we have brains to think and rationalise just because we are getting emotional. WOULD YOU SAY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IF YOUR FAMILY WAS BOMBED TO PIECES IN IRAQ? WOULD YOU SAY WHAT YOU ARE SAYING IF YOUR WIFE OR SISTERS ARE RAPED BY SOLDIERS ALL IN THE NAME OF NON-EXISTENT WMD?

I hope you answer the questions?

Freewilly:

I'm the poster child of liberalism in America, and I don't care much for bush, yes he did some major mistakes, but hey what world leader can we say is always perfect. Bush will leave office in less than two years with a legacy trust me. President Reagan was called all kinds of names when he was in office and when he died just a few years ago everyone considered him a hero.

Txlonghorn I support you 100%. Don't let what some idiot in Nigeria says get to you bro. It take a lot of courage to do what you doing, like the previous poster said, this country was founded by people like you. You are my role model and I admire your service. God bless you for your hard work.

All we Nigerians are good for is talk and I've said this in many threads. This dude could be out there selling drugs or doing the Nigerian scams but he joins the military to better himself and all some freaking losers on here can do is call him names

Txlonghorn you my hero. I love you bro Good luck in your marriage, your wife is one fine chic. Can we share her just kidding

You already stated what you are good for, TALK. It will be good if you talk using your brain (I dont know how well it functions). For you to jump into a discussion/debate and call people idiots shows how well your brain functions (NOT).

So, he joins some army to make his life better. Everyone does something to make his/her life better so he's not unique in that respect. I admire and respect everyone irrespective of what they do for a living, so long as they are not doing anything illegal. It doesn't matter to me whether someone is in the Army or a carpenter.

You referred to 'some idiot in Nigeria', I hope you dont consider yourself better than those in Nigeria.

Why do we have people who jump into discussions, especially heated ones, without an understanding of what's being discussed and how it got to the state where they met the discussion?

People People MY BELOVED PEOPLE OF NIGERIA  GREEN WHITE GREEN IS OUR SYMBOL, why must we wast ouR time and energy to reply to

Freewilly  and Txlonghorn ?  Can we just leave them alone with their stupidity and continue our discursion on the topic at hand?

A YORUBA Proverb state we shall identify them by the words coming out of their mouth.  Fela Said what can you tell a ZOMBIE

"Colomentality

You don be slave from before

Zombie no go go, unless you tell am to go
*[CHORUS] ZOMBIE *(after each line)
Zombie no go stop, unless you tell am to stop
Zombie no go turn, unless you tell am to turn
Zombie no go think, unless you tell am to think

Zombie-o, zombie

Those are the words of a great man, this people are noting but Zombie, they can't even tell you what war we are fighting?

Who are we fighting now? Shiites. AL qaeda  
? Or Islamic Jihads?

Easyy,

Maybe you should ignore him. you are giving him too much attention _{methinks its not worth it}.

Back to the topic, Bush should be put on trial too  .
Even if i were an american, i'd still feel the same way. he has made the US much more unsafe.

abeg tell dem nilla, now we can't even travel to Brunei without looking over our head. my friend just got back from the middle East and she said they hate our behind so much over there, she was scared to go out. now was that the kind of image we had during Clinton regime? No

I'm sure you a smart guy, if you don't like the way Bush is running his country what the hell are you still doing in the states. Go back to Nigeria, it just sickens me so much when I hear Nigerians complain about the way things are ran in America. The worst thing is that most Nigerian in the states don't even VOTE but you should go to a Nigerian restaurant and hear them talk.

Don't mean to step on anyones toes but it's just the honest truth.

No disrespect but you dont just leave a place because you notice defects in the system, it takes a lot more than that. It is human nature to complain about what we see as negative. BTW, it's part of the freedom you enjoy as a citizen of a democratic nation.

If you dont want the President to be criticised, tell him to hire Saddam Hussein or the Zimbabawean president

Why do u all want to crucify the Longhorn guy

Firstly we must all put things in perspective and not be carried away by the propaganda on Fox News or Aljazeera (as the case may be)

Bush is a royal bufoon, and if the world was fair he should be tried for incompetence, starting a war on false pretexts and many other things

But, the thing that truely astounds me is the total inability of some people, especially some of a certain religion to look at the whole issue objectively.

True, Bush started a war on false premises, but he did not order marines to rape Iraqis, the people who did this have been tried. Let us seperate the issues. I also fail to see how Bush is responsible for the fraticidal sunni/shiite war in Iraq. These are people that would destroy their own country and kill women and children in marketplaces just to prove a point. The US totally miscalculated the Iraq mission. They did not legislate for the amount of senseless hate that religion could generate.
Al-queda is willing to destroy Iraq and every single Iraqi to fight the Americans. They are willing o take hundreds of innocent MUSLIM lives everyday to oppose America. When I seee muslims elsewhere in the world give unilateral support to Saddam, Alqaeda and all the insurgents in Iraq, I tremble becos it means that if America was to invade Nigeria tommorow under whatever pretence, some of our muslim brothers would be willing to blow us up at Oshodi market everyday to drive the Infidel Imperialistic Neo-Crusader American Abomination out

It is also mind-blowing to imagine that some people would say that Saddam does not deserve to die after all he did to his people. If u were a kurd in Iraq at the time of the chemical bombing i am sure u would not be saying this. That bush probably deserves to die as well is a totally seperate issue. One does not preclude the other

xkape,

Thanks for putting a better spin on this.

It's not really about the murderous people in Iraq but the fact that if George 'war monger' Bush did not help prepare the grounds for the murderers, they would not be having a field day as they are having now in Iraq.

Saddam Hussein was a terrible ruler but there was not such brutality as is witnessed now in Iraq when Saddam was their leader.

I remember President Putin telling George Bush that the kind of democracy America introduced in Iraq is not the kind of democracy they want in Russia. You don't impose democracy on people only to make their lives eternally miserable. Now, I sense in my mind that America is comtemplating a get-out route from Iraq thereby leaving the Iraqi people at the mercy of terrorists who were created by America.

Bush should be tried for being the Hitler of the 21st century. i pity those guys defending bush and his oil wars 'cos they're part of those confused people who don't know that Bush is the monster who's busy taking away that very freedom which makes them Americans.

My older brother is joing the Navy to serve and further his education after college. Fools like you think the military is just about carring a gun and going to war, but for your information,thats not always the case. In the military you get to serve your country(give back to your counrtry). If you such an expart in American History, Government and Politices, what are you doing in Nigeria. It's People like you that come here and say all kinds of shitt about America, Bush, but would send nights at the embassy begging for a Visa. Come to think if it, I'm sure you was denied a visa that's why you so bitter about God's country

@ TXLONGHORN.

Hey Bro if you ever back on the thread please give me a call at (801)954-7100.Some friends and I from Austin are trying to form an Association of Nigerian grads from the University Of Texas. Did you belong to a fraternity and if you did which one? BTW bro why in God's name are you belittling yourself with some Ignorant bastards in Nigeria. I've read a portion of this freaking thread and it just sickens me for reals


TX don't hesitate  to call please we have so much to talk about. I'm in Utah for a few days but I should be back in Houston before the month end.


Sooooooo many HEATERS

Ofcourse G. bush should be put on trial!!! Yes we know he wont face any court but his punishment will b worse than any court judgement. His name will b in history 4 providing the catalyst 4 a global terrorist movement.

For goodness sake we all know th guy isnt as smart as most ppl (clearly seen in his interviews). Does he not realise that th US army is only efficient wen total destruction of another country is required (so dont send in the US army if u dont plan 2 comit genocide)

A better alternative 2 solving th Iraq problem would hav been (ally with Sadam, strengthen his govt 2 be able 2 crack down on terrorist elements within his country) just like they are currently doin with Egypt & Pakistan.

Right now its only a matter of time 4 Iraq 2 come under the influence of Iran (an upcomin regional power). At least wen Sadam was in power his presence gave the Iranians somthing 2 worry about. Its a pity the way Bush has strengthened global terrorism from a single act of stupidity

Bush will get his day in court no matter how long it takes

Nigeria will be greater than US. Amen! Consolation for hopelessness. Cant we find better things to talk than Bush and America. If Bush should be impeached, then Obasanjo should have faced firing squad long time ago. Make una leave matter.

Let's talk about Naija. Naija and America are two parallels that can never meet

i'm a nigerian like most of y'all out here and i'm appalled at the amount of hatred spewing out of the mouths of most of you. read through all your posts, full of insults and abuses. easily forgetting that it's anyone's choice if he wants to go to any country of his choice or join the army anywhere he goes, y'all go all out accusing him of runnin gout on nigeria.
what, if i may ask, has any of you creeps done for nigeria recently? it's okay for you to jump around screeching that nigeria will be greater than the US, but what have you done for your country towards achieving that?

on my own part, i agree George Bush invaded iraq on a foundation of lies, but i still maintain that as long as the official US army creed is to minimize civillian casualties and penalize cases where civillians are deliberately targeted, calling the US or Bush 'terrorist' is a bit of a misnomer.
but that's my opinion, and i have a right as a living, sentient being to have an opinion. if you must dispute this or any other opinion, please for your sakes show that you still have at least the sense to make mature, intelligent conversation.

Texazzpete, hatred for who?

The thread as well is not about anyone's contribution to Nigeria but about whether or not George Bush should also face trial. While I acknowledge that every decent individual needs to try and contribute positively to the society, the object of this thread is distinctly different from that and everyone does not have to contribute to the thread.

I have tried to find where anyone accused anyone of 'running out' on Nigeria. It gives the impression that the person particularly required and he/she has done a runner.

I respect your opinion as yours and, as human beings, we will have points of disagreement except some of us are stupidly and blindly following the others.

Why does the US label some government as terrorist governments? I have also never seen any country that does not have an official creed/policy of minimising civilian casualties in every situation. What a Government does oftentimes differ from it's official policy. Even Saddam Hussein's Government had a policy to protect the integrity of the Iraqi populace and ensuring that safety and security of the people. But we all know his government acted differently.

Did you see the recorded wiping out of about 30 civilians who were fleeing on the road? They were wiped off the face of the earth by an american jet fighter watching them from the sky.

***It's COWARDICE to kill/attack people who are unable to defend themselves

i'm a nigerian like most of y'all out here and i'm appalled at the amount of hatred spewing out of the mouths of most of you. read through all your posts, full of insults and abuses. easily forgetting that it's anyone's choice if he wants to go to any country of his choice or join the army anywhere he goes, y'all go all out accusing him of runnin gout on nigeria.
what, if i may ask, has any of you creeps done for nigeria recently? it's okay for you to jump around screeching that nigeria will be greater than the US, but what have you done for your country towards achieving that?

on my own part, i agree George Bush invaded iraq on a foundation of lies, but i still maintain that as long as the official US army creed is to minimize civillian casualties and penalize cases where civillians are deliberately targeted, calling the US or Bush 'terrorist' is a bit of a misnomer.
but that's my opinion, and i have a right as a living, sentient being to have an opinion. if you must dispute this or any other opinion, please for your sakes show that you still have at least the sense to make mature, intelligent conversation.

your joining in insulting too. Also you need to go back and see who started insulting who.

good call, nilla. i stand corrected!
on the flip side, i've seen earlier posts where this txlonghorn character was labelled as an 'a*selicker' and a US lover desperately trying for a US visa. when it emerged the fellow had actualy become a US citizen more abuse was heaped on him for his choice.
I agree with some of your points, but we aren't just talking about governments here, but armed forces as a whole. and armed groups like Al Qaeda and Hezbollah have made it a point of duty to deliberately target unarmed cvillians. I think most of the uproar around the US is due to the very human emotion of trying dish dirt on anyone claiming to be virtuous.
The governments in power in palestine and iran have called repeatedly for the extermination of the jewish race (civillian and millitary). isn't that the official credo, then?

and yes, i also agree with you that it's cowardice to attack unarmed people. but in 99% of that happening from the US forces, it's been a tragic mistake, totally unplanned and punished by both a millitary tribunal or an increasingly vocal american media. On the othe rhand, group like Al Qaeda plan a 100% deliberate kill rate of civillians. Is it then fair to lump the US and Al Qaeda in the same group as 'terrorists'?
For that matter, do you really want to know how many civillians were killed by ecomog forces in sierra leone and liberia? why is no one calling for Obasanjo to be tried, after what he did to the villagers in Odi? isn' t it hypocrisy to salute one as your president and then call another who did the same thing 'a terrorist warmonger'?

Nice talking to you again, nilla. last time we discussed it was on the israel vs hezbollah thread, and that was a lot more heated than this.

This is off-topic, but i have a theory: have u noticed most of the great guys who used 2 hang about on this forum have gone? people like nutter, chxta et al? I think the incessant mudslinging and insults (and of course the frequent bans by the moderator) has caused this exodus. here's hoping stuff gets discussed without much heat,

in my reply, i know i've gone off-topic many times, sorry about that, but well they say no knowledge is wasted,
