Pisichko you're little more than a blow hard spewing slanderous
talking points which have no basis in fact.


Hey, you can define things any way you want. After all you are who you are. Doesn't mean the rest of the world has to agree with your definitions of
your reality.

How can you say that about me? The US is certainly into windmills, and America has the windy city.

According to most Americans, you didn't lose the War of 1812
either.

The US didn't lose the War of 1812.

Sure you did. The US declared war on Britain and invaded Canada, but
were unsuccessful. After several attempts to achieve their objective
they gave up. So I guess your idea of a victory in that conflict,
like Vietnam, is gathering up your troops and running home.


The purpose of the war was to stop British impression of US sailors.
This was accomplished. The war was a successful defense of American
rights, culminating in the victory at New Orleans. Because New
Orleans was successfully defended, American expansion into the
Southwest was possible. Neither side lost territory.


Don't forget "your" opposition also left you with a Black House.


Ah! Who can forget "The house that had been the site of so many happy
occasions was in ruins.
All that remained were the scorched sandstone walls."

The US won't "win"

Really? Where is Saddam? Where are the Sunni thugs who ruled that
country with an iron fist? Who makes up the new Iraqi government and
what are their goals? How many newspapers are now being published in
Baghdad free of censorship? How many women make up that new governing
council? How many young girls are for the first time going to school
in Iraq? How is it that Iraq now has more social infrastructure in
place than it ever did under Saddam? I understand you're mad. Rabid
dogs get mad. What I don't understand is your ignorance and your
willingness to spread it all over the world via the usenet.


My my, so this is your definition of winning. OK so the US finally got
****ed off at Saddam AFTER supporting him and giving him all those WMDs
to fight those dastardly Ayatollas ... Why did you let him go on for so
long?


Ask Bill Clinton.

and will hand over the stinking mess they started (with their
invasion) for someone else to deal with while at the same time
extolling their mattra "WE won the war!! WE won the war!! What
revisionistic bull****.

Your superpower does not have the ability to create peace, just to
"win" by killing all opposition and flattening the country. Kinda like
the German Panzer division did when they opened up on the Polish
Calvary at the beginning of WW II. Even though they overran Poland
they had nothing but trouble for the rest of the "war". Then the
Germans were defeated. The US won't win the peace offensive because
they do NOT have the capability. If they did have that capability why
do they pass off the destroyed countryside to someone else AND ask
them to get involved in the peace process.

You need to look more closely at WW2 history. The two countries who
were the chief architects of WW2 - Germany and Japan were both leveled
by the United States and both rebuilt via the Marshal Plan into first
world countries by the same United States of America.


Oh, the USA won the war! More revisionist bull****. Why were RCAF, RAF,
RAAF and RNZAF aircrews bombing the AXIS powers? For practice? Why are
there thousands of British, Canadian, French, Australian, New Zealand
and other ALLIED soldiers buried all over this earth adjactent to or
near the cemetaries of AXIS warriors?


They weren't accomplishing much until the Americans arrived.


Surely you must mean the Soviets? Who al;most singlehanded defeated the
Nazis, while the US were more or less tied in the Pacific?

(And BTW, the Canadians did pay a high price at Dieppe, as being the
expandable scapegoats, just to show Stalin that no, the conditions weren't
right yet for a second front in Europe.)

You came to the US for your secondary education? BWAHAHAHAHA!!!


Of course not, just some post secondary education. It turned out to be free too - because to the generous TA they gave me when they
realised I could teach their 'Merican students.

Next you'll be confessing you come south of the 49th to get health
care too. Fess up Pisichko, your parents couldn't even trade you to
the Inuits for a good sled dog.


Obviously you are clueless.

Over Europe?/ In WW II?

You are truely full of ****! An enema won't help your addled misconception of reality. Guys like you must write revisionistic history
textbooks - like tose in japan that give the Japanese version of why they didn't do anything wrong...

Try reading for comprehension and then tell me who in Canada, the UK,
Australia, and New Zealand contributed to the Marshal Plan.


Correct me if I am wrong,


You're wrong.


Nice way of you cutting up a sentence, but you obviously don't know much by doing this, and you have showed the rest of the world how stupid you are.


but the Marshall Plan was used to rebuild Europe after it was crushed, and after VE Day - and was a crafty way of keeping
US manufacturing going profitably at the end of hostiulities when war materials were no longer needed. Wonder who paid for the conversion of the
war materials factories into factories producing all the needed rebuilding materials. Money, money - just like a parallel situation in the
rebuilding of Iraq - with US assigned contracts to US companies. Nice FAT contracts paid for my Iraqi oil.


US Taxpayers paid for the Marshal Plan, Pisichko.


So the taxpayers paid for the Marshall plan. And all the money went to the US firms to produce all the materials shipped to Europe for rebuilding.
Naturally those same US firms profited handsomely from this plan. Otherwise they'd be idle at the end of WW Ii when there was no further demand for the
war goods they produced. Sounds lie socialism to me - the people paying for the industrial complex and fat salaries of the executives...

Just for the record, are your parents aware that you are playing with your
computer?

Both of my parents are deceased, but thanks for the lame retort you
dumb moose ****er.


Obviously another area of expertise you have! Didn't learn much from them did you?

You guys both need to learn to read headers.


How nice of you to point this out What don't you understand about the creation of the Black House? More revisionism, perhaps? Or just
blindness on your part/

Obviously they want to live. A US passport was a sure-fire way of getting killed. Mr. Berg, wasn't it? Anything to survive.

Do you also believe in Little Green Men on Mars?


I don't know about you but the rest of us will have to wait to see if NASA confirms your suggestion that they are there, won't we.

Xomicron had writtennews:mZOvc.3473$ri2.2801
@charlie.risq.qc.ca:

A brief refresher:

All Canadians are arrogant pigs.


That certainly puts the Yanks really down the scale then.
