Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

As far as I'm concerned, this man was a member of an invading foreign military force which has launched an unprovoked attack/invasion on a sovereign nation. These roadside bombs that he had been disarming, and eventually was killed by, are nothing more than a primitive defense against a vastly technologically superior INVADING force- one which is murdering and maiming a great many innocent women and kids in their quest to kill who we have been told by the powers that be is the enemy du-jure .

Fallen hero? I think that must be looked at with the view that he was somewhere be had no right to be. His wasted death, tragic as it is, stood for nothing- he wasn't defending Great Britain, and his sacrifice accomplished nothing toward the betterment of our world.

Now what about all the innocent Afghans being killed and maimed by this foolhardy misadventure being largely sponsored by our own government? Wanna have a memorial thread for them?

Remember, these guys were called "freedom fighters" when the Ruskies invaded their country. Now that our government has invaded the same country we're fed propaganda that they're all terrorists- same guys, different label, but what's the difference?
OUT NOW.

I thought you had shown your true self before. But I had no idea what a real ##### you are. But those who sit in the rear and never get out and do a man's job seem to gravitate that way. Be proud of yourself. Some one has to be.

Heroes? More like mere victims of a power mad elite

How much more blood on Gordon Brown's hands will it take?

Five more British soldiers killed, this time by an Afghan policeman. How many more pointless deaths will it take before Gorden Brown admits the war in Afghanistan cannot be won and brings the troops home?

November 4 2009
The five British soldiers killed yesterday in Afghanistan are yet more victims of an unwinnable war. 229 soldiers have now died since the 2001 invasion, 92 of them this year. Gordon Brown insists, "They fought to make Afghanistan more secure, but above all to make Britain safer from the terrorism and extremism which continues to threaten us."

How much longer can Brown say that British soldiers are in Afghanistan to make it more secure, when by any yardstick the presence of foreign troops is the prime cause of the country's ever increasing insecurity?
This is what happens when a people resist the occupation of their country, but it seems a lot more British soldiers will have to die before Brown admits the war cannot be won.
The five soldiers were killed by an Afghan policeman, who it now turns out may have been a Taliban supporter. There should be no surprise here.


The truth is, British troops are dying for no other purpose than to save the reputation of politicians like Brown, who slavishly follow the dictates of US foreign policy -- even when it's obvious that the world's second poorest country is no threat whatever to British interests.
The farce of the fraudulent Afghan elections, which ended with the re-election of Hamid Karzai -- the prime instigator of the fraud -- removed any hope Brown may have had that the war could be justified as defending "democracy" or a legitimately elected president.
The game is clearly up when even former Labour minister Kim Howells -- who a year ago, as a foreign office minister, was one of the government's most vociferous defenders of the war -- is now saying [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. .
The blood of these five soldiers is on the hands of Gordon Brown. How many more British soldiers and Afghan civilians will die before he is forced to accept the inevitable and bring all the troops home? The longer Brown persists, the more likely it will be that Lance Corporal Joe Glenton -- the first soldier to refuse to return to Afghanistan -- [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. , who like him are no longer prepared to fight a war which is neither justified or winnable.

While it might BE TRUE that Afghanistan, the "World's Second Poorest Country" may (itself) pose no real threat to more wealthy countries, there ARE groups of people hiding in Afghanistan who DO (pose a great risk).
Groups of people like those who planned and carried out the attacks in Ny, Washington DC and Shanksville, PA.
People like those who planned to bomb several airlines as they crossed the Atlantic. People like those who bombed the train station in Madrid.
Do you need any more examples?

I am surprised that there are folks who still believe the outright lie that our government is in Afghanistan to hunt for hidden terrorists since it has become so obvious that al-Qaeda evacuated to somewhere else years ago.

None of the "plans" you have cited here were conceived in Afghanistan; in fact the alleged plot of 911 (if indeed there was such a plot in the first place) was hatched in Hamburg, Germany.
Sure, our military is killing members of the Taliban and other "insurgents"- along with many innocent women, children and such- (they were called freedom fighters when they were fighting the Ruskies, remember?), but why in the world should we care about who's in power in Afghanistan? Think about it...

I believe that as more and more people wake up to what a cynical farce this business in Afghanistan really is, support for this welfare program for the armaments industry will continue to wane. Now who could blame the President for his reluctance to send more troops into this hellhole? To do so, in light of public opinion as more of the public wises up to the fallacy and outright foolhardiness this engagement in "Pipelinistan" is, could prove to be political suicide. I think the President realizes this fact, but on the other hand he is under tremendous pressure from neo-cons and the armaments industry (both of which exert a great amount of influence) to escalate this madness. Why? For big PROFIT of course!

A) Let the Russians build South Stream; should we as Americans even care about what the Europeans pay for natural gas?

B) Check under your bed for international terrorists- you'll stand a better chance of discovering some there than in Afghanistan.

C) We as a nation are making enemies faster than we can kill them.
