Analysis: Castro's departure won't bring quick change in US policy

Feb 20, 2008, 0:22 GMT

Washington - Cuban leader Fidel Castro's resignation provides an opportunity for the United States to take a fresh look at relations with the communist island less than 200 kilometres off its border, but analysts doubt the Bush administration will budge from its hardline approach until there are signs of real democratic change.

Castro's younger brother Raul, who has been running the country since Castro fell ill in July 2006, is a committed communist and is unlikely, aside from some mild economic adjustments, to depart much from Fidel's agenda or introduce the reforms Washington insists are essential for easing the hostility that has characterized relations for nearly five decades.

'The Bush administration's posture has been, 'We won't change anything until Cuba changes completely,'' said Phil Peters, an analyst at the Lexington Institute in Washington.

President George W Bush in 2004 tightened sanctions on Cuba to hasten the collapse of the Castro regime, and set up a transitional team to ready the US effort to assist the country toward a democracy and provide millions of dollars in humanitarian relief once the regime was gone.

The United States has had no formal diplomatic ties with Cuba since the Caribbean island nation allied with the Soviet Union after the 1959 revolution that brought Castro to power. Washington has had strict economic sanctions on Cuba since the early 1960s.

'We remain hopeful that the Cuban people will one day be able to elect their leaders, that they will one day be able to actually build democratic institutions that serve the needs of the people and that reflect the will of the people,' State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said of Castro's announcement.

'There's no change in our policies,' McCormack added. 'I don't believe that there is anyone contemplating that at this point either.'

During the Cold War, US-Cuban relations were marked by numerous attempts by Washington on Castro's life, the botched 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, the 1962 Cuban missile crisis that brought the United States and Soviet Union to brink of nuclear war, and a mass exodus of Cuban refugees to the United States over several decades.

Raul Castro, who has always been viewed as his brother's successor, has consolidated control since Castro transferred power and has been effectively running the government, analysts say.

Raul will benefit from a Cuban economy that has been growing because of expanding trade with China and Venezuela, meaning the island's economy will not be desperate enough to comply with US demands, said Larry Birns of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs in Washington.

'Raul is not going to come forward with any dramatic reforms,' Birns said. 'He is going to be a maintainer. Not a divider, not a decider, but a maintainer.'

Domestic political reasons also limit Bush's ability to soften his policy on Cuba. Cuban Americans make up a large voting bloc in Florida, a critical state in presidential elections, and generally advocate a tough policy against the regime.

But the analysts don't rule out the possibility that relations could improve. The Democratic Party took control of Congress in January for the first time in 12 years and is traditionally less hardline about Cuba than Republicans. Some have already said they will pursue legislation to relax sanctions on Cuba.

Bush will have the power to veto that legislation, but could come under increasing pressure to change his approach toward Cuba now that Castro has stepped down.

'I think the country will take a hard look at (the policy),' Peters said. Castro's departure 'is a very newsworthy event and people are going to focus on Cuba. Congress will reexamine it and hopefully the administration will too. But there is nothing automatic here.'

Yeah SP4 ... just like the practice YOU SUPPORT of Bush with 'detainees' (translation: prisoners).

AFTER YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT BY BUSH - they've never been tried or proven guilty in a court of law of anything ...

At Bush's direction, they aren't given the opprtunity to see any charges or evidence against them (or even to know if any such things exist)

Bush imprisons them indefinitly with no charges or evidence ... ( exactly what the founders of our nation sought to prevent our government from being able to do as outlined in our Constitution)

And here you are saying Castro is wrong in doing so? (which is correct)

But you fail to see the direct comparison to Bush's actions.

They have been charged and the military has reviewed their cases. You seem to think they should get trials in US court when most of what they were accused of took place outside the jurisdiction of the American judicial system. Did we try the Japanese pilots who bombed Pearl Harbor in US courts? Of course not. These creeps are not entitled to protection under the constitution and to say otherwise is incredibly naive.

Released Detainees Rejoining The Fight

By John Mintz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 22, 2004; Page A01

At least 10 detainees released from the Guantanamo Bay prison after U.S. officials concluded they posed little threat have been recaptured or killed fighting U.S. or coalition forces in Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to Pentagon officials.

One of the repatriated prisoners is still at large after taking leadership of a militant faction in Pakistan and aligning himself with al Qaeda, Pakistani officials said. In telephone calls to Pakistani reporters, he has bragged that he tricked his U.S. interrogators into believing he was someone else.

Abdullah Mehsud told reporters he fooled authorities at Guantanamo Bay for two years before his release.

Another returned captive is an Afghan teenager who had spent two years at a special compound for young detainees at the military prison in Cuba, where he learned English, played sports and watched videos, informed sources said. U.S. officials believed they had persuaded him to abandon his life with the Taliban, but recently the young man, now 18, was recaptured with other Taliban fighters near Kandahar, Afghanistan, according to the sources, who asked for anonymity because they were discussing sensitive military information.

'Reports that former detainees have rejoined al Qaeda and the Taliban are evidence that these individuals are fanatical and particularly deceptive,' said a Pentagon spokesman, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Flex Plexico. 'From the beginning, we have recognized that there are inherent risks in determining when an individual detainee no longer had to be held at Guantanamo Bay.'

The latest case emerged two weeks ago when two Chinese engineers working on a dam project in Pakistan's lawless Waziristan region were kidnapped. The commander of a tribal militant group, Abdullah Mehsud, 29, told reporters by satellite phone that his followers were responsible for the abductions.

Mehsud said he spent two years at Guantanamo Bay after being captured in 2002 in Afghanistan fighting alongside the Taliban. At the time he was carrying a false Afghan identity card, and while in custody he maintained the fiction that he was an innocent Afghan tribesman, he said. U.S. officials never realized he was a Pakistani with deep ties to militants in both countries, he added.

'I managed to keep my Pakistani identity hidden all these years,' he told Gulf News in a recent interview. Since his return to Pakistan in March, Pakistani newspapers have written lengthy accounts of Mehsud's hair and looks, and the powerful appeal to militants of his fiery denunciations of the United States. 'We would fight America and its allies,' he said in one interview, 'until the very end.'

Last week Pakistani commandos freed one of the abducted Chinese engineers in a raid on a mud-walled compound in which five militants and the other hostage were killed.[snip]

Another former Guantanamo Bay prisoner was killed in southern Afghanistan last month after a shootout with Afghan forces. Maulvi Ghafar was a senior Taliban commander when he was captured in late 2001. No information has emerged about what he told interrogators in Guantanamo Bay, but in several cases U.S. officials have released detainees they knew to have served with the Taliban if they swore off violence in written agreements.

Returned to Afghanistan in February, Ghafar resumed his post as a top Taliban commander, and his forces ambushed and killed a U.N. engineer and three Afghan soldiers, Afghan officials said, according to news accounts.

A third released Taliban commander died in an ambush this summer. Mullah Shahzada, who apparently convinced U.S. officials that he had sworn off violence, rejoined the Taliban as soon as he was freed in mid-2003, sources with knowledge of his situation said.

The Afghan teenager who was recaptured recently had been kidnapped and possibly abused by the Taliban before he was apprehended the first time in 2001. After almost three years living with other young detainees in a seaside house at Guantanamo Bay, he was returned in January of this year to his country, where he was to be monitored by Afghan officials and private contractors. But the program failed and he fell back in with the Taliban, one source said.

'Someone dropped the ball in Afghanistan,' the source said.

One former detainee who has not yet been able to take up arms is Slimane Hadj Abderrahmane, a Dane who also signed a promise to renounce violence. But in recent months he has told Danish media that he considers the written oath 'toilet paper,' stated his plans to join the war in Chechnya and said Denmark's prime minister is a valid target for terrorists.

No one has taken ANYTHING away from me. I can read whatever I want, I can say whatever I want, I can keep and bear arms, I can go anywhere at any time... I am not about to indulge your paranoia and pretend that it bears any correspondence to reality. Have the storm troopers kicked down your door for being a stupid internet troll? Nope.

To say the the US constitution applies to jihadists picked up in Afghanistan is simply idiotic.

'If you had any personal strength, you'd stand strong and refuse to give the terrorists what they want (to change your way of life).'

The only changes in my life is that I have to take my shoes off at airport security and I spend more time volunteering for Navy/Marine relief... Oh yeah, one more thing, I want all the islamist terrorists killed when before I didn't care what they did to each other.

'But instead you act afraid.'

Simply not true. Would it would be more 'courageous' to pretend that my country is not under threat and not to take precautions against that? No, it would be STUPID.

'and hand a victory to them.'

I am not the one who wants to abandon the middle east to them.

'That's your fear controlling you.'

Nope, reason. A calculated assessment of the situation at hand. I think that it is hysterical of you to advocate capitulation as a sign of courage. It is more stupid, nonsensical new-speak right out of a George Orwell story: Submission = Strength, Capitulation = Courage.

So does that apply everyone all over the world? Does that go in, say China?
No. The obvious point you are missing, because you are a moron, is that the Constitution of the United States of America does not extend to terrorists who have been captured in Afghanistan or Pakastan who are not Americans. Indeed, we do not have the right to impose OUR values on the rest of the world. They want to live in the dark ages there and do not want things like womens rights that the US Constitution insures.

'These are principles of Justice that our government is bound to.'

Sure, in the USA regarding Americans. Not regarding foreign terrorists.
Jose Padilla, an 'American' convicted of islamist terrorism in the USA was entitled to the protection of the Bill of Rights and had his trial. His conviction is now being appealed.

'To avoid imprisoning innocents without trial.'

So did we 'try' the German POW's in world war 2? No, the ones that were caught in uniform were put in prison camps until the end of the war. The ones who were not were put before a military tribunal and usually hanged.

'Our government is now violating these principles of justice'

Not in the slightest.

'NOTHING says it can 'choose when it wants to, or when it doesn't want to,' be held to the standard of justice outlined in this part of our Consitution.'

So last week there were people stoned to death in Iran for 'activities incompatible with Islam', does the constitution apply to them? Do we need to invade, set up a court system and try the monsters who did this? Or do we realize that other countries have different laws?

It would be perfectly legal to try them in a military tribunal as 'unlawful combatants' or even spies since they were not wearing uniforms and shoot them. The Supreme Court upheld the jurisdiction of U.S. military tribunals over unlawful combatants and allowed for their execution, even if their crimes were committed in the territory of the USA as were 6 German spies who were caught and sent to the electric chair. These animals committed their crimes for the most part out side the USA.

'And again, nothing gives our government the choice of of when it applies to them or not.'

I agree! The US constitution does not apply to foreign enemy combatants! The Supreme Court has affirmed this. All nice and legal. :-D The argument can be made that it would be ILLEGAL for our government to do so.

'Ya see, YOU think our government has the right to imprison ALL (innocent and guilty) without justice. '

Ya see, when you are fighting an enemy who does not respect any boundaries, any code of decency, any international law or really any of the trappings of humanity... one who fills schools gyms full of children and sets off bombs or slowly saws peoples heads off and puts their last horrible screaming moments on the internet or who simply flies aircraft full of human beings in to buildings full of human beings they forfeit their rights to things like the Geneva convention. The Geneva convention is INTERNATIONAL LAW which would usually cover an enemy if they had the guts to wear a uniform and attack our military instead of shielding themselves among civilians to murder civilians. You want them given access to our DOMESTIC law which doesn't apply to them because most have never set foot in the USA.

So, since they forfeited their rights under international law and they are not entitled to the protections of our domestic law they find themselves stuffing their faces with cheerios and grinding their stupid heads in to their prayer mats 5 times a day until the legality of the military tribunals makes it's way through our domestic courts. Want it done faster? Get the idiots out there to stop holding up the process with lawsuits so they can have their day in court and get their lethal injection.

'You have no understanding of the principles of justice.'

'Justice' would be putting them in a building and flying a jet loaded with fuel in to it. We are talking about 'law' not 'justice'. The law says that they are not entitled to protection under the constitution. The law says that they gave up their right to protection under the Geneva convention by attacking civilians and not wearing a uniform. The best they are going to get is a military tribunal, just like in the Korean conflict, WW2, WW1, The US Civil War, the war of 1812 and the Revolutionary war. Look up the treatment our founding fathers gave to 'Major John Andre' who was caught without a uniform and tell me that they would have let these bastards go.

'Unless you think having different standards of justice for different people is not hypocrisy ... and is in harmony with 'and justice for all.'

Yeah, the whole world should be covered by the US Constitution. I agree. It should also not fight and all children should have braces if they need them and maybe a puppy if they are not allergic. That would be lovely but it isn't going to happen any time soon. The fact is we are talking about things whose ideas of 'justice' is to beat a woman with a car antenna if she is not completely covered in her burqua or to bury someone up to their waste in dirt and throw rocks at their skulls until the brains run out for 'infidelity'.

They will get their date with a military tribunal which is more then they deserve. Until then they are lucky that they are not being subjected to the same 'justice' that they would get in their own country.

Shove it, moron...Mar 1st, 2008 - 06:55:54

'Having principles means ... you do the right thing, because it's right.'

Having a brain means you keep islamist terrorists in prison. Give them their tribunal and their injection.

'Not because your enemies do it, or don't.'

Our enemies do not keep their captives in prison, they saw their heads off and put the video on the net. Do a web search on 'Nick Berg' or 'Taliban Child Beheading' or 'Paul M. Johnson'..on and on... Nope, they 'don't'.

'True justice is not something to be done only when it's easy or convenient. '

Again, idiot, true justice would be making that fat pig Khalid Sheikh Mohammed have to chose whether or not he was going to burn to death or have to jump a hundred and ten stories to his death. That is the choice he gave others.

'You've written endless rants about how doing the right thing (true justice) is something you eagerly abandon when you feel threatened..'

I wouldn't eagerly abandon the above scenario at all. Men can only seek justice through enacting just laws to punish the guilty. They are getting the justice that their actions warrant by being held accountable to the laws that they have willfully broken. End of story. Creating new, inherently illeagal ways of giving criminals benefits is not justice.

'You've shown us you have no principles on the matter of true justice.'

You have shown that you do not have a clue as to what justice is.

'Any further discussion with you on this will only continue to fall upon your deaf ears.'

Go preach a sermon then you sanctimonious half wit. You are a boring idiot by the way. This whole thing is getting repetitive.

'You will not see the point made so very clear here,'

Oh yeah, I see it, your heart bleeds for the world and you want to float above it and dispense 'true justice'...

'because you choose your blind rage of injustice instead.'

There is nothing 'blind' or 'unjust' about it. It is very lucid and focused.

'Never understanding the real reasons the world has turned against men like yourself,'

:-D The world sounds like it is treating you mighty fine there Einstein. Why do morons like you invariably think that they can speak on behalf of the 'world'?

'you'll continue to go around kicking dogs and then blame the dog when it bites you.'

I would never, ever kick a dog. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and these twisted islamist monsters are something far, far lower then dogs.

It was a metaphor, old fool ...Mar 1st, 2008 - 17:01:10

The dog metaphor was to give an illustration of your belligerant mindset.

When you go around the world imposing your will on people, at the ends of your guns and bombs, imprisonig and killing their innocent family members, they will grow ti hate you and they will strike back.

And in your beligerant arrogance, you will blame only them instead of seeing your contribution for the reasons they hate you.

You have made it quite clear that you hate ALL people in Arab societies ... you've judged them all guilty.

You desire to punish good and bad alike.

Making no distinction between innocents and guilty, your mindset would turn even those that don't hate you today, into those that will come to hate you because you impose injustice and terror upon them.

Then you'll blame only them for it. Never admiting that it was you who've given them reason to hate you.

Read history of US invlovement in the middle east ( i.e.: Shah of Iran is only one example) ... if your eyes are open you'll see why they hate us.

If not, you'll continue to blame only them.

I suspect you're only capable of doing the latter.

So it comes out, you are a terrorist apologist.Mar 1st, 2008 - 20:06:03

'The dog metaphor was to give an illustration of your belligerant[sic] mindset.'

So acording to your 'metaphor' I would be kicking and biting myself.

Smart metaphor.

'When you go around the world imposing your will on people, at the ends of your guns and bombs, '

So Bin Laden was justified in attacking us, eh? Typical. Scratch your BS rhetoric about 'justice' and we get down to the core of your stupid belief. Couldn't see that coming a mile away.

' imprisonig and killing their innocent family members, they will grow ti hate you and they will strike back.'

I guess you are too stupid to use a calender as well. Al Qaeda attacked us DOZENS of times before 9/11 killing thousands from Somalia to Yemen to Saudi Arabia to the first World Trade Center bombing. Islamist terrorist scum have committed atrocities in almost every country on the planet. Yet it is someone else's fault? You idiot.

'And in your beligerant arrogance, you will blame only them instead of seeing your contribution for the reasons they hate you.'

I didn't hate anyone before 9/11 and the wars that I fought in were to protect Muslims. The fact that you would seek to excuse the monsters who fly aircraft full of people in to buildings full of people pretty much confirms that you are scum as well.

'You have made it quite clear that you hate ALL people in Arab societies ...'

That is a lie. Where have I said that? I haven't, idiot. I just hate people who make excuses for islamist atrocities like 9/11.

'You desire to punish good and bad alike.'

You are wrong. You have probably had the same 'we are poor victims' ground in to your head at your own mosque that the terrorists had ground in to their pea brains. If Islamists have been 'victimized' perhaps it is because there have been deadly islamist attacks in:

India and the Sudan and Algeria and Afghanistan and New York and Pakistan and Israel and Russia and Chechnya and the Philippines and Indonesia and Nigeria and England and Thailand and Spain and Egypt and Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia and Ingushetia and Dagestan and Turkey and Kabardino-Balkaria and Morocco and Yemen and Lebanon and France and Uzbekistan and Gaza and Tunisia and Kosovo and Bosnia and Mauritania and Kenya and Eritrea and Syria and Somalia and California and Argentina and Kuwait and Virginia and Ethiopia and Iran and Jordan and United Arab Emirates and Louisiana and Texas and Tanzania and Germany and Australia and Pennsylvania and Belgium and Denmark and East Timor and Qatar and Maryland and Tajikistan and the Netherlands and Scotland and Chad and Canada and China and Nepal
and the Maldives and...

But that is all because they are victims seeking 'justice', right? At what level do you hold these monsters responsible for their own actions? Evidentially none. All you can see is that they probably look like you and they hate the same people that you do so therefore they are just poor dogs who have been kicked. Well rabid dogs need to be put to sleep.

'Making no distinction between innocents and guilty, '

It is YOU who are trying to make no distinction between the innocent and the guilty by making excuses for the actions of the terrorists. In that sense, that makes YOU guilty as well.

'Then you'll blame only them for it. Never admiting[sic] that it was you who've given them reason to hate you.'

Again, you piece of s**t, I never gave anyone a reason to fly aircraft full of people in to buildings full of people. If you think America has done that you need to find some place else to live. Go to Iran where you might get strung up in the public square for doing some trivila thing that is 'incompatible with Islam'.

'Read history of US invlovement[sic] in the middle east ( i.e.: Shah of Iran is only one example)'

Firstly, moron, the terrorists who attacked us were Sunni and Iran is Shiite, they do not like each other almost as much as they hate the infidels. One has nothing to do with the other. Secondly that was over a half century ago. At what point does your LAME, TIRED, WARN OUT EXCUSE for violence and barbarity wear thin? How many embassy's have to be invaded and hostages taken before they get over it? How many people have to be murdered in state sponsored terrorism all over the world before they get past it? It is an excuse. Just an excuse for behaving in a way that is beyond savagery.

' if your eyes are open you'll see why they hate us.'

They hate ME because I am a kafir, an 'unbeliever' who is not going to submit to sharia and who enjoys a lifestyle that demonstrates the counter productivity of their belief system. They hate ME because they are jealous that my society goes to the moon and theirs publicly lynches 16 year old girls for being 'disobedient.' They have ME because my society represents the future and theres represents a primitive past. They hate ME because my success underlines their failure. It is not MY fault that they are backward any more then it is my fault that you are stupid. They should either adapt, get used to it or attack the REAL reasons that they are in the mess that they are in instead of knocking down skyscrapers because they can't build any.

'If not, you'll continue to blame only them.'

They ARE the only ones to blame. They will continue to be murdering monsters until the whole world stops making excuses for their savagery.

'I suspect you're only capable of doing the latter.'

I suspect that you have your cranium shoved up your backside, idiot.

But I do say that not everyone is guilty, simply because 'you say they are.'

“Calling me an 'apologist for terrorists' is pure comedy.”

Really? Perhaps you don’t know how to speak English well enough to express yourself. When you write drivel like:

“When you go around the world imposing your will on people, at the ends of your guns and bombs, imprisonig[sic] and killing their innocent family members, they will grow ti[sic] hate you and they will strike back.”

What you are saying is that we brought 9/11 on ourselves with our bombing, imprisoning, killing the terrorists innocent families, etc. (Never mind that they had been attacking us for years… )

When you write sanctimonious nonsense like:

“you will blame only them instead of seeing your contribution for the reasons they hate you.”

You are saying that there was something, ANYTHING I could have done that would have justified or brought on something like 9/11.

When you write:

“Then you'll blame only them for it. Never admiting[sic] that it was you who've given them reason to hate you.”

You are saying, obviously, that we have done something which would justify flying aircraft full of human beings in to buildings full of human beings.

And you further show your ignorance and stupidity by writing:

“Read history of US invlovement[sic] in the middle east ( i.e.: Shah of Iran is only one example) ... if your eyes are open you'll see why they hate us.”

Which not only shows that you are grasping at straws to find an excuse for these monsters but you are too ignorant to understand the difference between Sunni/Shiite and Arab/Persian.

So yes, a terrorist apologist. Nothing on this earth could justify their atrocities. Nothing. They commit them all over the world against every other society that they come in to contact with. Look at the list of countries.

“Apparently you were unable to comprehend the part where I said punishing 'the guilty' would be true justice?”

You have blathered on about a lot of things, terrorist apologist. You have first said that the terrorists in Guantanamo Bay were “innocents” and implied that none of those who have been released from Guantanamo Bay ever rejoined their terrorism. When I pointed out that at least 30 have you started in moaning about “justice”. When I pointed out that they are not entitled to the same protections under the Constitution by US and International law you started in with how they are just poor kicked dogs who are attacking their abuser. When I called you on that and pointed out that they have been attacking us for YEARS before Afghanistan/Iraq and even 9/11 and nothing can legitimize their crimes you retreat back to “punishing 'the guilty' would be true justice…” You are a boring, repetitive, terrorist apologist idiot …

Obviously. That is what the military tribunals will do.

“Why does applying fair justice scare you so?”

It doesn’t. I would pull the lever myself.

“then fair justice should be no threat to you)

In order to achieve “Justice” men write laws. They do not qualify for or deserve protection under the Constitution and they are being treated as they are according to the international law which they violated. That is more then justice because they could, according to international law, have been summarily executed on the battlefield for being stateless and fighting out of uniform. If it makes you feel any better, a whole lot more have been given that true justice.

“ALL of my posts are about defending TRUE American principles,”

What the hell would you know about true American principals? As you have stated we brought all of this on ourselves for our “invlovement[sic] in the middle east”. Idiot.

“You simply refuse to grasp higher principles,”

There are no “higher principals” in play. It has been found that they warrant detention by a military review board and as soon as the tribunals have been sorted out they will render a just sentence. That is the law and that is justice.

“Our government says 'We're spreading American democracy and freedom' .”

Nope, idiot and liar, they just say “democracy and freedom'”. Neither the Iraqi nor Afghani parliaments are modeled after the republic in the USA. They are however a whole lot more democratic then what they replaced. “Freedom”, you unbelievable moron comes with responsibility. Those responsible for attacking us should not be allowed to run free nor should those who worked to enable them.

There was no threat at all. I have no doubt that you wouldn't be sputing off your stupidity say, in front of the NYPD station in Tribeca. You can hide and twist the freedom of speech that asylum in the USA provides you and seek to justify the actions of those who would destroy this country because we can not be forced to accept their belief system; that is your legal right. It doesn't make you any less of an ignorant parasite though, and it doesn't make you any less cowardly. It makes you wrong on every level.

Ok, Ill just go house to house and ask which one is the islamist apologist idiot who needs their ass kicked. With a population of 4,301,261 that should take no time at all. I can make it easier on you then that. Go to the firehouse at 132 West 10th St. NY, NY. and announce that squad 18 (which was wiped out while trying to haul fire hoses up the stairwell of WTC2) was murdered because the USA is 'arrogant' and 'belligerent' and we mistreated the poor, poor terrorists by retaliating AFTER the fact..

LOL, I might actually send I guy I know over to photograph the parking lot. We both know that you won't be there.

So you're backing out like a wuss already eh :-D?Mar 4th, 2008 - 02:52:18

... and you're threatening to send your personal photographer to take my picture instead.

Bwahahaha!!!
Oh, that's a very manly thing to do :-D ... Especially after telling me you'll kick my ass. Gosh, that's so much meaner ... It's so tough, and so brutal.

I can't stop laughing !!! ... 'I'm warning you! I'll, I'll ...send a photographer' ... Bwahahaha!!!!

Let anyone who reads this know that the girl who posts on M&C under the mark :-D is all talk, and pure wuss.

And he shall always been known as 'No Action' ... But beware of him, or he'll send someone else, to take your picture! (Yawn)

You sure do talk a lot, No Action..

And now you've shown us with absolute certainty, talk is all you do.

'.. and you're threatening to send your personal photographer to take my picture instead.'

Since you have lied about working there and are too cowardly to provide a real workplace or name...

'Especially after telling me you'll kick my ass.'

Lets be accurate, you islamist monkey; I said that you would not say that the USA had brought the 9/11 attacks on itself because it would lead to getting your ass kicked. A point that you have proven in no uncertain terms by your lying and hiding. I did not threaten to kick your ass because I do not make threats. I do think though, you have it coming. Indeed, I would suspect that life gives you a periodic boot in the rear end as a reward for your stupidity and the cowardice. Isn't that so? Or has it been smooth sailing you effective fellow?

' I'll ...send a photographer' '

I am sure if I did there would be an empty parking lot to show for it. Tell me your name or at least give me something verifiable and Ill consider it. :-D Otherwise you are just a liar and a pussy.

I'll be there Wednesday at 6 ...Mar 4th, 2008 - 04:01:53

... send your photographer, No Action. Since you're too much of an empty windbag, all talk and no action wuss, to show up yourself. And you've made it clear that's the toughest thing you have in you to actually do, when you're not busy talking...(Bwahahaha!)

And, unless you're telling me you're actually gonna have the courage to come here and try to do what you say you'd like to do to me ... you calling me a coward is almost as laughable as you threatening to take my picture.

You sure do talk a lot.

Show us more of your really tough words, No Action. ( laughing is good for the soul ... and you endlessly trying to act tough with nothing but childish insults, is pure comedy!)

You won't be given my name, No Action (aka :-D)Mar 4th, 2008 - 04:18:33

You've already said you wanna go running to my employer and 'tell on me' like some little bratty kid would do.

Are you really so dumb to think I'll, all of a sudden, trust you with my name, after that?

Admit it ... you wouldn't show up anyway.

'K... :-D

'And you've made it clear that's the toughest thing you have in you to actually do, when you're not busy talking..'

Ill make sure he gets some shots of the sputtering chimp who can't string a sentence together.

'And, unless you're telling me you're actually gonna have the courage to come here and try to do what you say you'd like to do to me .'

You have already lied to me. You said that you work at the Golds gym. I called 'Jeff' and we went through all the possibilities. Unless you want to provide more information I am not going to hop on a plane to stand in an empty parking lot. How many times do you need that explained to you you stupid chimp?

'. you calling me a coward is almost as laughable as you threatening to take my picture.'

You just don't get it, do you. Even after it has been spelled out several times you breathtaking moron. My point was that you are a coward for not taking ownership of your support that you give those who wish to attack us. Inviting me to fly 2000 miles to meat you at the bike racks is an easy thing to do for a coward. Lying and saying that you work somewhere that they have never heard of you also proves it.

'You've already said you wanna go running to my employer and 'tell on me''

Well, since you are a liar and don't work where you said that you do I can't help you to take ownership of your words. I never used the phrase 'tell on you' by the way. In any event, why would you have a problem with that you brave fellow? That would be 'true justice' to have the people around you know that you sympathize with the sh*ts that want to kill them.

'Are you really so dumb to think I'll, all of a sudden, trust you with my name, after that?'

No, I think you are that dumb. Besides, every time you thump your chest while hiding behind you prove my point that you are a coward who doesn't want people to know that it empathizes with the terrorists who seek to destroy the country and who will lie and hide in order to protect itself from the consequences of it's own stupidity.

'You won't be given my name, No Action '

Then you are proving my point, you complete pussy!

'Admit it ... you wouldn't show up anyway.'

Like I said, you have already been caught lying.... So let's hear it so we can take this to the next level. Or you can impotently make threats that would get you carried away feet first in real life.

What a windbag!!!Mar 4th, 2008 - 14:23:42

You say you've proven I don't work at the gym ... and you've done that without my name?

Hilarious!!!

Grow the balls to show up when you first said you would ... We'll see who's lying, tough guy.
I noticed in a previous post that you've even backed down from sending your personal photographer ... saying '...if I did [send a photographer]...'

Gauwd, You can't even follow through with that!!!

So who are you gonna threaten to send in your place next, No Action? A portrait painter? Or perhaps your personal make-up artist?

'You say you've proven I don't work at the gym ... and you've done that without my name?'

You were kind enough to provide a description. the night workers are either female, black hair or shorter. Soooo... That makes you a liar.

'Grow the balls to show up when you first said you would .'

If I am a bit late just wait, idiot.

' ... saying '...if I did [send a photographer]...''

The thing is I actually know someone in Colorado Springs. I would be embarrassed to involve him because he is an adult.

'So who are you gonna threaten to send in your place next,'

Seeing as how you are demonstrating that I am correct with every post where you fail to provide your name or any verifiable contact information I needn't 'threaten' anything. The other thing is, and this is NOT a threat, but in this fantasy scenario that you know isn't going to happen because 1) you are 2000 miles away and 2) you have lied about your whereabouts; have you ever considered that some of us put .45 slugs in to idiots who threaten us?

Not that that would happen of course. But what would happen is what I said would happen. People would treat you with the revulsion and contempt that you deserve. You know that which means you are either rightfully embarrassed by your stupidity or too much of a coward to live with the consequences of the ideas you advocate. What was that about 'True Justice'. :-D

What was that about 'Having principles means you do the right thing, because it's right?' Well, that is pretty easy to say on the internet isn't it? Yet when it comes time for you to own these 'principals' you hide.

Didn't you say, you smarmy little baboon that 'True justice is not something to be done only when it's easy or convenient.' Gee, come out with your ideas that the terrorists are justified in attacking us. Afraid of a little 'inconvenience'?

You write: 'You've written endless rants about how doing the right thing (true justice) is something you eagerly abandon when you feel threatened..' So live with the consequences of what you have said here and sign your name to it, chimpy. Otherwise you are a big lying cowardly hypocrite.

So, own up to it. Time for some 'true justice'.

Or do you only defend those pooor poor dogs who have been kicked through the safety of of hiding behind anonymity and lies on the internet?

What happened to your lofty ideals of 'true justice' internet jihadie? It Is funny to see how quickly you abandon 'true justice' when it comes time to sign your name to it.

'Final comment and correction ...'

I suspect that is another one of your lies.

'It will happen if you choose to follow through with your talk.'

Fine, 6 pm tomorrow. Be there for the rumble. The folks who run the place are interested in meeting the fellow who claims to work there, supports the terrorists and invites folks to fight in their parking lot.

'BTW Black hair, brown hair ... guess it depends on your opinion '

Yeah, the shifts are wrong, the people are different and you are a LIAR, unless you are going to admit you are a 5'4' woman... LOL!. Lets have the name idiot..

All you do is talk smack, No Action. Yap, yap yap ...

You're nothing but a lying windbag wuss, and all you're man enough to do is call people cowards from the safety of your chair.

You're a real tough guy. All talk, and nothing else. Bwahahaha!!!

Warning to everyone ... if you make him really mad, he just might show you how tough he can be by telling you his 'fantasies' (see his post on this page)

You lying chimp...Mar 6th, 2008 - 18:12:21

'I was there. (took my own pics to prove it ...'

The manager of the place who took a personal interest in someone who claims to be working for him offering to fight people in his parking lot assures me that there was no little lying jihadie who showed up in a silver dodge pickup. You are a liar.

'All you do is talk smack, '

Please, you are an absolute liar. Let's see your pictures of you and your truck in that parking lot then.

'You're nothing but a lying windbag wuss,'

Lets see the photos of you and your truck then. Liar.

'You're a real tough guy. All talk, and nothing else.'

Let's recount what you are, again:

1) an idiot.
2) a terrorist apologist.
3) someone who has no idea what they are talking about.
4) a primitive moron who, when it is shown to be numbers 1-3 lashes out the only way it knows how, with threats of violence.
5) a coward who, after running it's big mouth with threats of violence leaves an address where no one has ever heard of you.
6) a coward who doesn't want people to know that it empathizes with the terrorists who seek to destroy the country and who will lie and hide in order to protect itself from the consequences of it's own stupidity.

So lie all you want, until you post your name and take ownership of your remarks you are a sniveling coward pussy who hides in the real world and lies on the internet.

According to the manager of the gym there was no one in sight who fits your description. That makes you a liar. Either way, post your name next to your terrorist apologist views if you want to demonstrate what a brave fellow you are.

You've already proven you can't be trusted with my information.

The first thing you did with when I gave info to you, was make a phone call ... you wanted to 'tell on me' like a little bratty kid.

BTW, neither the owner of the gym, or the manager has ever mentioned or asked about me about your calls.

You want the photos? Post your address.

The fact remains ... I was where I said I'd be ... YOU were still in New York ... windbag.

You waste my time.

Hey idiot, post something verifiable for once.Mar 7th, 2008 - 18:20:02

LOL, The manager of the place was ready to kick your ass himself. (people don't take kindly to liars saying that they work in a place that they run and challenging others to fights out of it. There are liability issues to put it mildly.)

'You've already proven you can't be trusted with my information.'

What information? You haven't given any. Post something verifiable before you jump to conclusions about what I would do with it.

'The first thing you did with when I gave info to you, was make a phone call ... you wanted to 'tell on me' like a little bratty kid.'

I wanted to demonstrate to you that people find your attitude disgusting and beyond stupid. 'Tell on me', LOL... I never said that but if you are so proud of your opinions and want to look like some virtuous fellow who defends the poooor dogs that get kicked why don't you have the guts to sign it? After all, you are the defender of 'true justice'.

'BTW, neither the owner of the gym, or the manager has ever mentioned or asked about me about your calls. '

Of course not, you haven't approached them because you are a coward.

'You want the photos? Post your address.'

Post yours and I will e-mail you for your latest round of lies.

'The fact remains ... I was where I said I'd be ..'

The fact remains that you are a liar. You do not work there, the shifts that you said that you work are occupied by different people. No one saw your truck in the lot, you are making up stories to hide because you do not have the guts to stand behind your stupid, stupid ideas. 'True justice'? What an incredible hypocrite!

Post your name coward, every time you post some drivel here without doing that you confirm that you are a sniveling hypocrite.

'You waste my time.'

You can't waste what's worthless.
