chinu. You said...." The coalition of 80 countries is not that coalition we had during Desert Storm, is it? "....
NO.
You said...." Under this Bush, the US has what we call working towards and resting on laurels based on mediocrity"....
Who is " we "? I assume it is people who have done nothing to support the war against islam terrorism.
You said...." Did you say Rwanda, Brunie, Lecheistein were included in coalition of the 80? I would not be surprised for these countries to be part of the coalition for as long as Bush wants them to be. What do they care? How many soldiers do they have and how much money are they giving towards the war?".....
No, it is only you who mentioned these countries.
Here learn something.
United States Central Command.
International Contributions to the War on Terrorism.
centcom.mil
Citizens from more than 80 countries died that day – innocent men, women and children from across the globe. Within hours of the tragedy, coalitions involving many nations assembled to fight terrorism – literally hundreds of countries have contributed in a variety of ways – some militarily, others diplomatically, economically and financially. Some nations have helped openly; others prefer not to disclose their contributions.
The United States began building the coalition on September 12, 2001, and there are currently 70 nations supporting the global war on terrorism. To date, 21 nations have deployed more than 16,000 troops to the U.S. Central Command’s region of responsibility. This coalition of the willing is working hard every day to defeat terrorism, wherever it may exist.
In Afghanistan alone, our coalition partners are contributing nearly 8,000 troops to Operation Enduring Freedom and to the International Security Assistance Force in Kabul – making up over half of the 15,000 non-Afghan forces in Afghanistan. The war against terrorism is a broad-based effort that will take time. Every nation has different circumstances and will participate in different ways. This mission and future missions will require a series of coalitions ready to take on the challenges and assume the risks associated with such an operation.
Coalition forces have made important contributions in the war against terrorism across the spectrum of operations. Particular contributions include, but are not limited to, providing vital intelligence, personnel, equipment and assets for use on the ground, air and sea. Coalition members also have provided liaison teams, participated in planning, provided bases and granted over-flight permissions – as well as sizable contributions of humanitarian assistance.
you said...." Kerry has said several times over how he would fight the war. He has maintained that it is a war to be fought at the intelligence level primarily."....
What in hell do you think all those countries within the coalition against islam terrorism are doing.....Geeeeeeeees! wake up.
That's why using troops against islam terrorists in so many different countries is not possible. The coalition Bush put together has been working together for over three years now and kerry suggests he would do the same thing? Somebody better tell him it's already being done. :-)
You said....." In fact he has the personal experience of fighting such a warfare based on guerrila tactics. He fought in Vietnam where the enemy is hidden and suddenly shows up from nowhere at a time when you are least expecting."....
Stop making jokes this is no laughing matter...kerry has experience fighting fighting world wide islam terrorism. LOL
You said....." Lorne, this man is not fit to be President. He has never taken responsibility in his life including his tenure as President."....
He has taken responsibility for at last confronting islam terrorism something that should have been done 20 years ago.
He has taken responsibility for protecting American citizens from islam terrorists. He didn't turn against his own country, He did what was required knowing that his stand to protect America would not be popular with many voters and knowing that his efforts to protect America would be used against him by America's opponents... It appears that many of those opponents are right in America.:-) |
