    Of course. I just like pointing out that JJF is a fascist crusader. :D

    I too am apauled by any death squads, such as KLA , etc.. but this seems to be quite unfair that you would choose to single out Serbia and tar all of them with the same brush. You should be ashamed. Kosovo is Serbia, Borussia was just trying to cause trouble.

    You mean like you did in assuming that Kosovo was a muslim nation?

    Well, a fascist, in any case. I'm not sure he's got the underpants for crusading.

    You'd be the perfect crusader, that's for sure! :rolleyes:;)

    How many crimes have we Christians committed "on behalf of God" in the past? What does this tell us? Well, that radical Christians were/are as idiotic as radical Muslims...


    Well, then you just have to google a little bit...

    Kosova surely would not have the current status if the Serbs (who acted like the Nazis) didn't commit all those crimes.

    I don't think you can compare both wars (for many reasons).

    The regaining strength of the Taliban scum is a reason for huge concern, though.


    Btw: Let's hear what former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder has to say.

    Quotation from Pakistan's prime minister Ali Zardari:

    "The Taliban are controlling wide parts of Pakistan. We know that they want to take over the country, but we'll fight for Pakistan's survival."


    Well, this is pretty alarming, isn't it? :eek: It seems that the war against the terrorists in Afghanistan can't be won until this scum gets defeated in Pakistan...


    Btw: Here's an interesting interview.

    Sounds pretty bad, until you get to this part:

    So my guess is an "agreement" will be made in the next month or so.

    Well, then why not let the European NATO troups return home instead of sending more of them to Afghanistan (in opposition to the public opinion in Europe)...?


    Buenos noces.

    Of course, you guys are hiding in the north and not fighting in the south where you should be.

    Well, there's also someone to take care of the north (which isn't that innocuous, btw.) ... or don't you agree? :p ;)


    But what about the other European troups? Why are they a "waste" ? Just tell that to the population of their countries...

    The main problem is that the Bush administration totally neglected Afghanistan due to Iraq and also made use of a wrong strategy ... thus, I think it's unfair to blame the Europeans for the current situation!

    The Dutch and British forces are the exception to the rule in terms of the European contingent's contribution to Afghanistan. France and Germany have been an embarrassment to themselves.

    Tell that to the parents of those soldiers who lost their lives in i.e THIS fight. And even the "lazy" German troops (who make up the 3rd largest contingent, btw.) in the north around Kabul are confronted with daily attacks.

    Well, I don't mind sending them to the south (German aircrafts are already operating there) ... but giving up a large area in the north might not be that wise.

    Troop levels in Afghanistan
    France: 2800
    Germany: 3500
    Canada: 2800

    Soldiers killed

    Germany: 30
    France: 20
    Canada: 108

    Despite having similar troop levels, France and German suffer only a fraction of combat casualties.

    No one is talking about giving up territory. Nothing other than excuses for not carrying out your far share.

    It is true we are not doing much in Afghanistan. But then there are a lot of people who think this war is against our constitution we shouldn`t be there at all.

    there is this joke going around

    The green pacifist party send our troops farther, then their fathers ever came.

    How do you know that "we're not doing much in Afghanistan"? Just because we are responsible the sector in the north of the country?


    Those people are pretty clueless.


    Well, then the NATO leadership has to reconsider responsibilities first and start a new planning of the whole deployment ... since one troop surely can't be active in more fronts.
