Syria is a beautiful country and its populace has lived in peaceful co-existence with each other for hundreds of years. But at this rate, regrettably, all that will be left of it will resemble those wonderful Roman ruins dotted about all over the country. So sad. I wonder who will get the contracts to rebuild it. Glass and concrete skyscrapers will be so out of place there, but hey, lots of lovely cash to be made innit?Old timernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-35444748398616496462013-09-06T12:20:24.260+01:002013-09-06T12:20:24.260+01:00Hue must be an interesting trip but it's not j...Hue must be an interesting trip but it's not just Vietnam. Nothing is ever said, Mr Mike, by the Blairmongers, of the comprehensive, Goering-like looting of the Iraqi galleries and museums by GlobaCorp; by Iraq, of course we mean Mesapotamia, Civilisation's delivery room.<br /><br />And I heard a Syrian woman, the other night, saying that Damascus, at 6,000 years, is the oldest, constantly inhabited city in the world, not talking about Dresden or Coventry and their few hundred years of existence but of a site which pre-dates the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Pyramids and the Acropolis. Only an American would rush to bomb such a place. I know that our home-grown, arsehole encrustations in Westminster are also keen to help out but this barbarous lead comes from Obomba.<br /><br />I recall that Ms Lilith's daughter visited Damascus and I wonder if we will leave something for any of our other children to visit.<br /><br />My own view, actually, as I said elsewhere, is that the world is tired of the Ugly American and that we may be seeing not an Arab Spring but maybe a Western Autumn, not only only amongst the overwhelming majority of nations which oppose Uncle Sam but perhaps also within his own legislatures. I understand that what we call social media make politicians very sensitive, now, to their electorates, if Senators, accustomed just to pigging-out, gangstering and rent-boying for four years at a time are now getting blistered on their Twitter accounts, well, Obama is, to most people, an awful, seething betrayal and perhaps his hanging-out to dry might be seen as a useful purgative, Fingers crossed.<br /><br />Kerry, incidentally, like Petraeus, like Hillary Trousers, just another of Obama's cack-handed, cowardly malappointments. Three hundred million to choose from and he picks this worthless, preening nincompoop.<br /><br />Although I wasn't aware of it, I only have to close my eyes, Ms Lilith, to hear that speech, his dreadful, I-know-best didacticism, as though he was the world's headmaster, instead of a cheap, Uncle Tom hustler.<br /><br />And yes, mr anonymous, the hypocrisy of the US/Israeli nuclear arsenal posturing is so foetid, so rank that to come up for air in the midst of it is to choke.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-2669988605946736062013-09-06T07:23:25.580+01:002013-09-06T07:23:25.580+01:00Its the reverse Scargill look.

When they falsify their looks, and assume nobody notices.<br /><br />Kerry also speachified that Assad had joined Hitler and Saddam in the pantheon of those who used chemical weapons; as you say Mr I he conveniently forgot to include the good ol' US of A in that exclusive club. Arsehole.<br /><br />I recently visited Hue in Vietnam, In the American war (as the locals call it) people took snctuary in the Imperial City in Hue believing nobody would be so evil as to attack innocents in such a heritage site. 10,000 civilians were killed by USA bombs and the Imperial City destroyed. And yet we are expected to treat 9/11 with the same reverence as the second coming. Fortunately I didn't come across a yank in Hue.<br /><br />BTW welcome back Mr I, trust you are well.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-67273458973717320692013-09-06T03:56:26.549+01:002013-09-06T03:56:26.549+01:00is there an echo in this fucking cave?is there an echo in this fucking cave?nonny the neandertrollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-67222181986363349962013-09-06T03:54:48.140+01:002013-09-06T03:54:48.140+01:00@katie kwik-fit

He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and coveted nuclear capacity.<br /><br /> He’s a bad guy. The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him.<br /><br /> But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.<br /><br /> (…)<br /><br /> The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of war. But we ought not — we will not — travel down that hellish path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.lilithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011676751221508167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-26812030833893256102013-09-05T13:22:50.426+01:002013-09-05T13:22:50.426+01:00How they can lecture the world on the dangers of a...How they can lecture the world on the dangers of atomic weapons in the wrong hands, when they are the ONLY fuckers ever to have used them (on civilians) I just cannot fathom.<br /><br />Close to 250,000 civilians dead in a week. Old men, women, kids. No soldiers. Fuck knows how many millions dead from cancer, still born, mutated and wrecked before life even got going.<br /><br />Fucking Yee-hah bastards. Sooner or later they are going to pick on the wrong country, and what they thought was a snot-faced kid in the playground, ripe for the picking, is going to turn out to be a black belt in fuk yu oop. We'll see how fucking keen their fat fuck inhabitants are to 'support the 5 branches of the millitaireee' when dirty bombs are going off in Times Square and suicide bombing is a side order to a super sized Big Mac.<br /><br />CharlesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-77825094877268196482013-09-05T02:26:00.403+01:002013-09-05T02:26:00.403+01:00@mr ishmael

I have a glimmer of a thought, mr yardarm, that the gangsters in the Senate and the Congress, as well as the Frog legislators, may yet leave Obomba with his dick hanging out; that's not to mention Vlad the gay one, the Chinks and the Pakistani Secret Service.<br /><br />I know that all of skymadeupnewsandfilth, especially the PaedoBeeb, has been licking Obomba's arse but his democratic defeat, along with Cameron's and Hollande's, would be the story of the century; the warworm may turn.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-89643528565892422112013-09-04T21:42:10.945+01:002013-09-04T21:42:10.945+01:00Jaw jaw or war war.
