No. But serving in the military ought to have made you more respectful of the contribution of the French to Operation Overlord 1944. But instead you fell for one of McSwain's small minded "fibs" which does no favours to the honour you assume you are entitled to having 'been in uniform'. Yes, I stand corrected about the glee you appear to feel. It was in fact gen ...[text shortened]... om-the-armchair urgings of the "let's hope there's a war" kind on the other NK thread.

Yeah, we forgot all about Hitler ........................ isn't he the guy that kept invading other countries?
Originally posted by generalissimoThere is no confusion about what you did say or didn't say, it is there for all to see earlier on this or the other NK thread: ""It means Obama is going to have to attack N.Korea, lets hope he has the balls to do it." THAT's what you said. You hope the U.S.A. will attack North Korea. Clear.
Im not saying war is the only way...

They will ignore, as usual, the reality whereby the one Chamberlain who erred is countered in history by many examples of compromising and hopeful leaders who were able to bridge differences and overcome wars, bringing peace to the world; the same world that is also filled with tough and responsible leaders who closed their eyes in the face of hope, thereby unleashing ruin and destruction upon their countries."

Originally posted by generalissimoTurning a blind eye? Can you give an example of the U.S. "turning a blind eye" in the current crisis? If you're going to characterize it like that - just as you please, in other words - why stop at "Turning a blind eye" and "[Obama] is stupid"? Why not go further? Why not just blithely ask "Why is Obama supporting Kim?" Or "Obama sending Kim bomb technology is all wrong" Or "Obama embracing communist dictators is stupid". We know that you're intent on cheerleading for a war - rather than trying to understand what's going on, or debating a way out other than war - so why place any limits on what you assert? You may not be the brightest chap here, by a long chalk, but Lord knows you don't half reckon yourself. So if you insist on using 'tossing in some tabloid headlines' as your debating style, why be so timid?

However, I stand by my point that we shouldn't turn a blind eye.

Im not going to say he's embracing Kim because he isn't.

Did you remember when you accused people of "easy labeling"? I guess thats what you're doing now, I don't read tabloids, you moron.
You better watch out, that crown of yours is getting heavier every day!
