OK, as you can imagine from the thread's rather absurd title, I don't really think AUP is either, so don't write in.

Why pick on AUP, thought? The serious point is that ALL of AUP's latest threads blame America for something (shooting civilians, shooting allied troops)--but they ALL are phrased in terms of a question, as if he is "just asking" an innocent question, like the title of this thread is. Examples:

"Soldier More Important than Civilians?"

"Is this the Real Reason the Canadians did not Join the Coalition?"

etc., etc.

Now, AUP, if you're going to accuse someone for doing something wrong, at least have the balls to actually SAY OUTRIGHT who you are accusing of doing what.

Don't hide behing half-assed loaded questions. That is incredibly annoying, and makes you look like a coward, who wants to say something but is afraid to take the heat if it proves unpopular.

While I would tend to agree with the overall sentiment in this thread, I contend that the best means of addressing a_u_p or any other poster on this forum who employs similar methodology would be via objective debate.

There are a number of posters on this board whose ideologies I most definitely take issue with. The logical recourse, in my opinion, would be to rebut the inconsistencies objectively as they surface, rather than devote entire, separate threads to the issue.

I think you will find a lot of the 'Anti American' news I put up here comes directly from ...... Americans.

http://www.theonion.com/onion3912/i_should_not_be.html



As Americans, we have a right to question our government and its actions. However, while there is a time to criticize, there is also a time to follow in complacent silence. And that time is now.

It's one thing to question our leaders in the days leading up to a war. But it is another thing entirely to do it during a war. Once the blood of young men starts to spill, it is our duty as citizens not to challenge those responsible for spilling that blood. We must remove the boxing gloves and put on the kid gloves. That is why, in this moment of crisis, I should not be allowed to say the following things about America:

Why do we purport to be fighting in the name of liberating the Iraqi people when we have no interest in violations of human rights—as evidenced by our habit of looking the other way when they occur in China, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Syria, Burma, Libya, and countless other countries? Why, of all the brutal regimes that regularly violate human rights, do we only intervene militarily in Iraq? Because the violation of human rights is not our true interest here. We just say it is as a convenient means of manipulating world opinion and making our cause seem more just.

That is exactly the sort of thing I should not say right now.



By being critical of american foreign policy, I not attacking all americans. I am in fact agreeing with many americans.

AUP, you are truly hopeless. When you first got on this board, you were all about "Straw man this" and "Non-sequitor" that. But you, like everyone else in this world, are simply pushing an agenda. An illogical blame-America-first agenda, but an agenda nonetheless. Eventually you just got to posting some of the most extremist leftist junk I've seen, purely without any proof, just one sided blame throwing.

Sure, Iraqis are sufferring. But we can only help them by removing Saddam. Sure, America could help Israel less. But those good people are our friends, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. Sure, America could bomb less civilians. But if we weren't bombing our dozens, Saddam would probably be gassing his thousands. And sure, maybe some of the threats of Saddam building nukes are unsubstantiated. But we can't really know that with the games he's been playing with inspectors, can we?

Is logic going to work with you? No. It's talking to a wall. So I try to make my points to the group when addressing you, just like you do when addressing me. You know I'm confident in my views, and I feel I have a methodical logic. So, that's the way it goes, I guess.

-Ben Ben,
You start off blaming AUP for pushing an agenda (as you say, everyone is); but then you launch into your own agenda and imply that those who don't agree with you are illogical and incapable of rational debate, just because they are not convinced by your arguments. There is another possibility of course : that your arguments are simply not convincing to everyone.

It seems to me that anyone who thinks that because they find their own arguments logically irrefutable, all other rational people must do so to (and therefore anyone who disagrees is not rational) may not understand as much as they think they do.

I find it difficult to believe that AUP is hiding behind anything. Anyone who reads AUPs posts cannot fail to see where he is coming from and what his opinions are, so in what way is he hiding?

Different people have different styles of posting, that they feel comfortable with. As long as the message comes across I don't have a problem with that.

Maybe you can show differently, but I haven't seen any evidence of AUP being "retarded" in any of his posts.

Apart from anything, I think that most neutrals observing a debate see it as a weakness when someone has to resort to ad hominem attacks so you're not doing your own reputation on the forum any favours.

The problem is you provide links to agenda-driven sources of questionable integrity (for example socalist newsletters, Palestinian propaganda, etc). The source doesnt seem to matter to you as long as it supports your position. I always take the time to find a cite from an objective source before providing a link. Sometimes it takes some hunting to find one, but I always make the effort.

To top it off, you often do not read/comprehend the links you provide fully, as evidenced by posting links to the Tailwind scandal in the Peter Arnett thread that actually refuted your point!

This discussion has nothing to do with AUP's opinions or beliefs, merely the method he goes about presenting them.

Skeptic thinks AUP is a coward. I don't think he's a coward, my opinion is he lacks certain basic cognitive skills that would allow him to present rational arguments. I.e., a retard. Personally I think being a retard is preferable to being a coward.

For example, he usually starts threads with a loaded question (not very creative) and supports his position by cutting and pasting links from google that he thinks support it. Sometimes the links do NOT support his position, which points to a lack of reading comprehension. Or he links to the "Onion", which makes about much sense at citing Mad Magazine.

Regarding the opinions of neutral parties, I could care f*ck all what they think, if they don't feel strongly enough to speak up and take a side what value do they have?

i read that tailwind, and I saw that, despite the fact that there was a lot of evidence for the position of the report, that a lot of work went into it, but that that wasn't enough to stop the whole thing getting totally trashed. I have seen plenty of reports, like that, that are pushing an investigative point of view, from both sides of the spectrum. You look, and you think, and you make your own conclusions. The mistake these guys made was to take on the pentagon. If you want, you can see much worse reporting every night of the week on the teev, and these guys get paid and a pat on the back for a job well done.

maybe you should be doing a bit more research.

Number of times I have linked to the onion? once, i believe, in this thread.
As for links that may or may not support my point of view, often facts are shown in sites that do not generally support my point of view, that nevertheless do, by themselves, support my point of view.

That tailwind link, for example, went to a lot of length to show both sides of why it was right or wrong. Now, how much investigation is put into every story that goes up on CNN? not many. This one got the works for political reasons. It still had a lot of information on it to show the basic nature of the issue, a story the pentagon didn't like is not allowed to be shown.

I'm still waiting for them to get to work on all the beauty, hair restoration and fat loss stories that are shown every night.

If you actually read the report, you would know that there was NO evidence that US special forces used sarin gas during operation tailwind. The entire report was based on the testimony of one veteran who claimed to recover a "repressed" memory of being gassed with sarin many years after the fact. Other than the testimony of this ONE person, whom has a history of personal problems, there is NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. No other testimony, no physical evidence, no paper trail, NOTHING.

The only mistake the reporters made was to report a work of fiction as fact. The pentagon and various veterans groups had every right to be pissed off.

I would deny I start most of my threads as questions anyway. Where are the facts?

For those ones that I do, Sometimes I do it on purpose, because I know a topic is controversial, and hence it will never be possible to prove one way of the other. Sometimes I do it because I get a feeling that what I feel is true, but I cannot back it up conclusively, and wonder what others think. That is, I really am actually asking a question, to see if there is a good argument out there to convince me otherwise.

Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide. Also, as i have said in other threads, how can anyone put together a fully researched thesis here. It is just a message board, with some part time, interested contributors. Most topics eventually degenerate into a statement of beliefs, anyway. And while, on issues like Penta Water, it really doesn't matter one way or the other if it really does work or not, in the world of policitics we are talking about things that most definitely do matter, but there is no way to prove them to peoples satisfaction one way or the other.

The sarin gas was only a part of the whole report, and there was more evidence than the word of just one veteran. None of it conclusive. They may well have every right to be p***d off, and they let everyone know it. So why did they then have the right to get these people fired?

The military stuffs up every day, yet I don't see them getting fired. They will cover up Mai Lai, and get a patsy to take the rap till it all blows over, and then let him go.

Much of what they feed us is a work of total fiction. Much of what did happen, for example, in Vietnam, is hidden. I have personnally met a 'baby killer', before he went off to war. I later heard he wasn't very happy about what it did to his life after being ordered to drive an APC through a thatch hut. He ended up on drugs and closed off contact with his family.

Does this justify what the Vietnamese did? We weren't the ones killing millions of innocent villagers - they were doing that themselves. Are the people we didn't kill less important? Or do you think you have a point, trying to show that America is responsible for all the evil in the world?

Look you stupid bitch…. oops pardon me I mean my friend Cleopatra.
Insequitur?
I believe inquisitor is the word you're looking for.
It isn't my intention to be harsh or hostile in making an inquiry.
But I don't deny they turn out that way I'm usually trying to point out the flaw in there argument more then not it comes across as a bit harsh.
However, it's aimed at the argument and not the person.

Well Cleo, perhaps you can clarify something for me.

I've never come across the word insequitur before but according to an online dictionary insequitur is derived from a verb which means, inter alia, to follow/come after, pursue, attack or overtake. Which of course is what one would expect a post to do, i.e. it follows or ( more fun) attacks the other post.

Er, so why do you mention the obvious. Are you confusing it with non sequitur by any chance?

If not what is the issue here?

Ben,
You start off blaming AUP for pushing an agenda (as you say, everyone is); but then you launch into your own agenda and imply that those who don't agree with you are illogical and incapable of rational debate, just because they are not convinced by your arguments. There is another possibility of course : that your arguments are simply not convincing to everyone.

It seems to me that anyone who thinks that because they find their own arguments logically irrefutable, all other rational people must do so to (and therefore anyone who disagrees is not rational) may not understand as much as they think they do.

Ben’s views have far more facts and evidence behind them compared to AUP anti- American ant- Israel conspiracy theories.

If you don’t agree start, a new thread and we can go over the facts.

Now that I have to disagree with. I have brought up plenty of points, most of which he ignores.
