I did the same thing as it is a really long article. I felt it was a well balanced view without bias and when I checked various facts they did check out. Glad you found it informative as well.
Not sure if that is a reason to not work with them at all. And how much kurds practice or condone that shit? 'We' should not work with any of them because the malpractices of some? That doesn't get anyone anywhere.
I believe the article BlackBillBlake found a few months ago said the percentage of Kurdish girls subjected to mutilation was around 85%. The link is buried somewhere in the Saudi Arabia thread.
Well it wasnt helped by America keeping on supplying every nutjob in the Middle East against Russia. There were no terrorists in Iraq and Syria before America decided to fuck them up. Moving on, I note how American polticians have now decided they wont take a single Syrian. Strange really - the timing just after the Paris attacks. Maybe PressRat's articles had something in them? Its strange too that Obama + co decided these Syrians deserved a fuck load of arms and now they wont give them a place to live...
I dont know about the capital, but have taken my handgun into concerts and events without a problem. I wouldnt make it into an NFL game because they have more stringent security .. however an attack on a crowd would be more convenient with an assault rifle as they going inside or are leaving in a bottle neck. I also see an attack on a crowd inside an open stadium from outside in the distance.. I see many flaws in the open air design of my hometowns stadium, a terrorist could hit the crowd from a distance of a mile .. shooters could be long gone and back underground by the time there is a leo response. Im sure our great protectors have thought of this scenario..
The French have been such worry worts for a long time about being considered racist or xenophobic, or whatever slurs can be stirred up against them, look what they have to show for it. they are more worried about what others think of them, than they are about their own safety.
Actually American politicians such as Barack Obama have been clamoring away at coming up with excuses to bring them over here. They gave them those arms, because Washington DC and friends wanted Assad gone, even though he's one of the most popular leaders Syria has ever had.
could have been almost anybody, i mean any government or para-government or wanna be a government, or corporate criminals who wanted to prevent protesters at the climate summit. the timing rather loudly shouts hint of the latter being a very real possibility.
Not sure what makes you say that with certainty. I have the feeling you're basing it on your own mindset or an indirect and most likely subjective overgeneralized source. Lol, most popular leader Syria ever had? Maybe you were looking at his loyal supporters He's responsible for more syrian deaths than IS. A huge amount of syrians were already fed up with him before this IS mess started in Syria.
if it weren't for assad and western policy toward the middle east, there might never have been an "i.s.". that aside, i've yet to see a positive link to events in paris before the climate summit. where as, the ruthlessness of of economic interests, in advancing their mindless cause, without regard to human life or property, is a well established historical fact. not saying anything proves anything. could still be anything. anything at all. and its one of those things, i doubt well ever hear honest answers from corporate media. anyway, i think this thread probably belongs in the conspiracy speculation forum, as that's basically what it is.
