Skolhamarr Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Ah, my apologies Forsaken Epicentre - I believe I have misinterpreted your comment? When I read your comment, I thought you were implying that the French Resistance was useless to the Allies. You mean to say that the French Underground was a help, correct? In that case than I fully agree with you. :) (I know the English usage of double negatives can be confusing for non-native speakers - which I assume you are) Michlo: I think you are misinterpreting Cynster's comments. I do not believe she is deriding British participation and support, but rather that she feels that Israel has made larger contributions intelligence wise than has Britain (which would be expected, given the reach of Mossad and Aman), as Forsaken stated. They are fighting a people who are in abject poverty, with US money, not their own.Myrmaad: The general populace may be in poverty, but they do not finance their own fights either. Plenty of money and a heck of a lot of weapons get poured in from various "organizations" (and governments). Oil money can buy lots of nice "toys" that do nasty things towards Israel. Dont apologies, Your were some what right, boil it down to it. In the wide view of that war. French Underground only really help in few major operations overlord, liberation of Paris. Beyond that I can not really say yes or no to. French Army might have help in north Africa, but I will have to do more research to tell yes or no.. Strongest ally is a good term, Periods of time should also play in that term for an ally. Last 100 years, yes Britain hands down is the Americans Strongest ally. Should the list of question to judge the strongest ally.#1 Time spent as said ally to America?#2 What Wars this ally supported America in?#3 What issue has the said ally supported America on? ect ect ect.... lol I speak Southern, and Bad English... English was never a strong suit for me, History on the other hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynster Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Thanks for (most) of the responses there. It helped calm me down and realize that Cynster has no idea what she is talking about and should either just shut up or do some research before making such upsetting claims. Cheers.It's not my fault if you get offended by my personal opinion, when I specifically stated it as an opinion and having nothing to do with you. What I look for in an ally for the current time:Currently: The US is fighting terrorists in the middle eastOur ally (someone who is fighting on our side and bringing down our enemies) Israel, retaliates while the rest of the world twiddles their thumbs. The are helping us the most, they take terrorist threats seriously, they get the job done.Obviously biased as pro-war, that is my opinion. I do know what I'm talking about, and all you have to do is watch/read the news. It has nothing to do with Britain, nothing to do with you. If we were at war with a British enemy fighting with Britain, then Britain would be our greatest ally. That's where I'm coming from. Current. As for the Israelis taking billions of US money, they are our allies and it's common sense to protect your own interests. Since I'm not going to convince anyone that my opinion is better than anyone else's (which wasn't my intention anyway) I will "shut up" :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skolhamarr Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 7 July 2005 London bombings the bombings killed 52 commuters, injured 700. 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack cynsterI know it is your opinion, but this beside the point of Israel. You need do a little more research before making a claim isn't "their" fight. Those attacks make it a British problem, your wrong cynster that is doesn't. They have as much right to be there as the US. US will support them in anything they decide to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
