Maybe there is a price for colonialism.

[Van Basten]

Where are those US colonies?

You know how it is, misuse terminology any way possible just to take a few shots at America.

 

[Chomsky]

Nah - Afghanistan is a crappy place. There's nothing worth colonizing it for.


Now the Bermuda's......

I didn't see you prove my word was wrong. Please make your argument.

 

[Van Basten]

This whole thread of posters has proven you wrong, I don't need to make an argument, it's already been made.

Nice try though.

So you cannot argue and debate me.

 

[Van Basten]

I don't have to, the other fellas already did.

Throwing around buzzwords is not gonna help you, I, or anyone else on getting a better grasp on world problems.

It's neither helpful nor honest.

Again, you cannot debate me. Got it.

 

[Van Basten]

Yes, exactly.

Why the 13 year occupation?

Because of this:

Obama tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan in his first 2 years in office.

Thanks for the chart. Still no answer to why Obama is occupying Afghanistan.

I can't answer for him. The Nobel Peace Prize winner is who you should ask.

Ok, I'll email him.

Why would anyone bother to "debate" someone who doesn't care what words actually mean? You don't get to define a word to suit you.

 

[truthatallcost]

Thirteen years of occupation with no end in sight.

Ok, I'll email him.

I still don't understand the logic of killing random citizens based on what corrupt leaders do.

That kind of punishment was what swayed Americans into not giving a damn about Bish invading Iraq.

Did you know a US marine was once the president of Honduras?

Oh, dear. Bye.

Thanks for the chart. Still no answer to why Obama is occupying Afghanistan.

Because he's not and the US is not.

Military occupation is effective provisional control of a certain ruling power over a territory which is not under the formal sovereignty of that entity, without the volition of the actual sovereign.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] Military occupation is distinguished from annexation by its intended temporary nature (i.e. no claim for permanent sovereignty), by its military nature, and by citizenship rights of the controlling power not being conferred upon the subjugated population.[SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_occupation

The US does not have ruling power over the elected Afghanistan government.

Further, the US is there by Afghani invite and agreement:

The U.S.–Afghanistan Strategic Partnership Agreement, officially titled Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States of America,[SUP][1][/SUP] is an agreement between Afghanistan and the United States of America[SUP][2][/SUP] that provides the long-term framework for the relationship between Afghanistan and the United States of America after the drawdown of U.S. forces in the Afghanistan war.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][4][/SUP] The Strategic Partnership Agreement went into effect on July 4, 2012, as stated by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who said on July 8, 2012, at the Tokyo Conference on Afghanistan: "Like a number of countries represented here, the United States and Afghanistan signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement that went into effect four days ago."[SUP][5][/SUP]

So, I think we've approached thread fail here, if we've not already arrived there.

So why don't you go and play Pokemon now, so the adults can talk. Hmm? :roll:

 

[ipsofacto]

Oh, dear. Bye.

You could look that up. But you did not.

 

[Tigerace117]

Afghanistan. Heard of it?

Yeah......Afghanistan isn't a colony dude. Of anybody, much less the US.
