Shady Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 The US, at least in part, brought the terror attacks upon themselves. Much in the same way a doctor brings about terror attacks on themselves by preforming abortions. Quote
Guest American Woman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 It's called BLOWBACK. Actions taken by the USA previous to 9/11 in other countries were a factor into the why the attack on the USA happened. Yes. Al Qaeda was so upset over our past history, being such a humanitarian, charitable organization to Muslims at large, never mind infidels, they engaged in BLOWBACK. They care so much about other countries. But yes. It was "actions taken by the USA" previous to 9-11 that caused babies to be targeted and killed. I repeat. "The USA." While Canada shined it's well-deserved halo. And if only it weren't for those actions, al Qaeda would have remained the peace loving, charitable, giving organization that it's so well known for. The Devil made them do it. Quote
Shady Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 It's called BLOWBACK. Agreed. In the same way a doctor faces blowback for preforming abortions, right? Quote
Guest American Woman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Who gives a crap what that specific dictionary says. I don't give a crap what you say, while I do give a crap what a dictionary from Cambridge says. It's a bad choice of words either way. It should be abundantly clear, however, what he means after he posted several definitions from multiple sources. Going back to the Cambridge Idiom Dictionary is meaningless. As you can see from all the other sources, the idiom dictionary is the only one that suggests the actions are "deserved" rather than "invited." "Asking for it" IS an idiom, so what idiom dictionaries have to say about it is relevant. Idiom dictionaries give the definition regarding usage, how it's taken. It's quite obvious that MG is saying that the terrorist attacks are a "foreseeable response," as reprehensible as it is, to US foreign policy. So you're speaking for MG now, are you? It's quite obvious that he is insisting that the innocent people who were targeted and died on 9-11 were "asking for it." His words. Quote
sharkman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Agreed. In the same way a doctor faces blowback for preforming abortions, right? Yeah, those abortion doctors were asking for it. Quote
Shady Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Yeah, those abortion doctors were asking for it. Using the logic of others, they absolutely were. At least in a small way. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Using the logic of others, they absolutely were. At least in a small way. Right...the "logic" quickly breaks down based on the demonstrated history of all complicit nations / groups. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Guest American Woman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Evidently the pregnant Canadian woman and her husband who were killed by a Morocco terrorist bomb were asking for it, too. Quote
GostHacked Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Yes. Al Qaeda was so upset over our past history, being such a humanitarian, charitable organization to Muslims at large, never mind infidels, they engaged in BLOWBACK. They care so much about other countries. Oh some sarcasm from AW. Good good. So, with the CIA currently doing covert operations in Iran to try and destabilize the country from within. Do you think that might generate some angst against the USA? Don't you think that these covert operations could come back to bite you in the ass? Do you ever think that actions lead to consequences? Do you ever ask yourself or think about the stupid questions you put forth to the rest of us on this board? Do you even have a slight understanding about the thread's premise at all?? Of course not. The proof is in your next statement. But yes. It was "actions taken by the USA" previous to 9-11 that caused babies to be targeted and killed. I repeat. "The USA." While Canada shined it's well-deserved halo. And if only it weren't for those actions, al Qaeda would have remained the peace loving, charitable, giving organization that it's so well known for.

Shady Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 If you use 'Shady' logic. Nope, just using yours, and others. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Poland was 'asking for it' too. Had they only been more kind to the Germans... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
Guest American Woman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Oh some sarcasm from AW. Good good. Thank you. I thought it rather appropriate myself. Quote
GostHacked Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Thank you. I thought it rather appropriate myself. But you still failed to grasp it all. Quote
GostHacked Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Nope, just using yours, and others. If you used my logic, you would not post like that. Because, then you'd be me. Quote
GostHacked Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Poland was 'asking for it' too. Had they only been more kind to the Germans... What kind of covert operations was Poland doing in Germany? Yeah, another fail. Some really terrible comparisons here folks. Quote
DogOnPorch Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 What kind of covert operations was Poland doing in Germany? Yeah, another fail. Some really terrible comparisons here folks.

bush_cheney2004 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Still waiting for Haitians to bomb Montreal. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
DogOnPorch Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Still waiting for Haitians to bomb Montreal. Wouldn't they just stick pins into a map of Montreal? Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

GostHacked Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Still waiting for Haitians to bomb Montreal. More 'Canada' ..... We can revisit all this after the next terror attack on the USA. WHY DID WE GET ATTACKED, !!!??!?!?!?!?!?!? WHAT'S BLOWBACK?? Why are more buildings falling to the ground? Why DID the new attack come in the form of a mushroom cloud??? Quote
Guest American Woman Posted January 13, 2012 Report Posted January 13, 2012 Sure sure, attack me and not the argument. Typical, do your best. That's quite hilarious coming from you.
