    Those weapons have to be field tested before being sold.

    not sure that's a good reason to oppose these ideas:

    5. the us/uk intelligence services have become rich with money and resources since 911 and should keep on their toes, as it were.

    1. Not going to happen.

    2. Not going to happen.
    why aren't they going to happen, IYO?
    Purely my humble opinion,

    1. Trump is to "Jewish" to ask them to give up any land, even if they would listen to him. The chances of Isreal giving up anything they fought so hard for are minimal.

    2. Ask ENT.
    UK's sitting on the fence over that one, gives lip service to USA in its efforts to bomdafwk outa Syria to "liberate" Kurds and other minorities, but won't take war to the land.
    A pity both US and UK didn't "liberate" the Kurds when they had the chance after their invasion of Iraq.
    Too greedy for the oil the Kurds were sitting on.

    Nope, It'd be a good idea to let America shoot itself in the foot at this time in history,...it's doing a good job of it right now with Trump in the lead,....progress,...just give it time.

    Daydreams, mate. ISIS is already doing deals with Assad and Erdogan to pipe oil through Syria to Turkey. Knock that gang of pirates out and they'll just reform under another name, claiming jihad and indulging in ritual human sacrifice to their moon god as usual.

    3. all the refugees go back to syria and the africans/others who sneaked in on the same boats get sent back to their countries, too.
    Lovely idea if it could be done, but the Islamists will be there to great them to another round of sacrifices in the name of allah.
    4. isis loses its base in syria and iraq and is left with an internet campaign promising riches and virgins in heaven for those who blow up infidels (basically lose credibility as their caliphate aint gonna happen).

    5. the us/uk intelligence services have become rich with money and resources since 911 and should keep on their toes, as it were.
    The US intelligence services maybe, UK Intel aren't a semi-autonomous body to be able to make any income or profit at all.

    i was talking about europe in general and of course, making the point that millions of europeans could see more clearly than their leaders that invading iraq was a bad idea and there were many predictions at the time that it could lead to instability in the region, rather than the "cake walk" wolfowitz was talking about.

    That's how it goes, same as in WW 1 and 2.

    well, then, i'm sorry to tell you that you're on board with the neo-cons as they say the same.
    Don't be sorry, it's the truth.
    if israel had given up land for peace, the neo-cons wouldn't have gone crazy with their PNAC and CLEAN BREAK plans which were developed before 911 and led to the iraq war and the situation now in the uk with you talking about this:
    If Israel had done that there would have been no peace, only more war, as the Muslim's avowed intent is to completely destroy Israel, by fair means or foul,....so stop kidding yourself.

    yep, recall that april glaspie said something to the effect of that to saddam: "it's your business":

    WikiLeaks, April Glaspie, and Saddam Hussein | Foreign Policy

    In a now famous interview with the Iraqi leader, U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam, ‘[W]e have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait.’ The U.S. State Department had earlier told Saddam that Washington had ‘no special defense or security commitments to Kuwait.’ The United States may not have intended to give Iraq a green light, but that is effectively what it did."

    What's more pressing in My life that's more important than the Israel argument, is that I still have to get through the funerals of the Manchester bombing.

    Now, now. Shed a tear for poor old Wasabi. He has to get through all those funerals. can anyone have been more affected by this terrible atrocity than this poor man? Wasabi must shoulder the pain of a nation all by himself. God bless him, what a hero!

    Well it is a news thread and you lot have strayed waaaaaay off topic. There are plenty of other threads to debate/discuss your various different obsessions in.
    The Above Post May Contain Strong Language, Flashing Lights, or Violent Scenes.

    in real life, discussions go in different directions and then someone brings up the latest news (victims, suspects) and it's discussed and then the conversation goes in different directions (again).

    shouldn't threads be like that? rather than mods deleting posts to keep the conversation superficial and "on topic"?

    What you describe is not a discussion, it's just people rambling. As I said, there are plenty of other places on the forum for that. It's not like we're short of Muslims are bad/not bad threads, is it? This is the news forum and while discussion is allowed some attempt to keep it on topic would be welcome.

    well, if you think people read these threads to get the latest news, then i'm guessing you're mistaken as this isn't the 1990s. it's pretty easy to find the headlines anywhere.

    these threads are for discussion and even discussion that you don't like (as long as it isn't abusive), IMO.

    go on then dr. bob, please name 3 topics that you think should be allowed on this thread?

    besides, how to prevent the next terror attack (which you call "rambling").
