Gandalf, what are these faux threats and fake morals you accuse me of? Can you explain how the actions of the Bremer regime reflects either faux threats or fake morals on my part? Why do you keep offering to give me the "benefit of the doubt" without even explaining what you accuse me of? How do the actions of unidentified "western leaders" relate to my use of fake morals and faux threats?
Can you elaborate on this vision of yourself as the standard bearer for modern western liberal morals? Is there any particular reason why you use the term morals rather than values.
Can you explain how insisting that Malaysian Muslims did not really mean what they said is different from calling their sincerity into question?
Can you quote any of these Aussie jihadis promising to die and not come back to Australia?
If I declare every day what the motive of those Aussie jihadis is, why are you finding it so difficult to quote me?
This is the trail of backpedaling you leave in a single thread - ironically enough in a thread about your claims to sincerity. Perhaps you should give us some reasons to take you seriously.
Quote:I guess this is your way of not creating tangent topics that you will have to splinter off into separate threads - no? And I'm sure you wouldn't dream of once again accusing me of taking the thread off topic.
Start a new thread then Gandalf. Or just admit you made it all up. If it really is as simple as you say, why put so much effort into justifying your evasion?
Quote:That the Bremer regime tried to stifle democracy is a matter of public record.
You won't have any trouble backing yourself up then, will you Gandalf?
Quote:You're right FD - refusing to inform yourself with available information is not devious, nor is perpetuating uninformed BS thinking that it is truth.
What BS? Are you accusing me of being insincere when I express my skepticism that the US did not intend to do what they did in Iraq?
Quote:FD is the standard bearer of wishy washy western morals. He just won't call it that. He actually thinks they are universal. Adorable isn't it?
What are these wishy washy western morals you accuse me of Gandalf, at the same time as demanding we accept your sincerity in being the standard bearer for them?
