Iraq has the largest source of oil in the world. Are you sure? I thought that was Saudi Arabia. That's why we financed Osama in Afghanistan.Unfortunately, based on what I've seen, this is debatable. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest, but the...  [Read More]

OK, that was a bad choice of wording on my part. Having some incorrect or poorly defined terms doesn't make the entire article bad, so I'm sorry about that. But you don't know that it was incorrect or poorly worded. You only suspect that it is. That...  [Read More]

You don't like being called on putting up a bad article, so I guess you think this kind of tactic will be more effective? It's a bad article? When did we establish this? As you are so fond of saying to me, the burden of proof is on you. It's your ar...  [Read More]

The British Empire went pretty quietly :p (Although admittedly two world wars, were a contributing factor in its decline). Depends on how you look at it, I guess. From a "leveling London was the beginning of the end" perspective, I think yo...  [Read More]

I realize that all of this could be considered 'coincidental,' and is different to each person. It's all about interpretation. ;)I think it's rather difficult to defend the argument that we aren't there for oil when a vast majority of our bases seems...  [Read More]

The interesting thing is, up until the 1930s, IIRC, there was a plan in place to invade the US from Canada...I thought it was more recent than that, but you could be right. I guess if you have a plan on file to invade anyone, it saves you the trouble...  [Read More]

He asked what would happen to the election if McCain falls ill after the convention. Quite right :) Nowhere did he make any mention of a president - I'm sure he knew what would happen if a president can no longer serve. We surrender to Canada, right...  [Read More]

No, I didn't mean it fell over. I meant the part of the buildings above the levels where the planes dug into them crashed down into the building and "pressed" it towards the ground. Source: * video. So how does this rule out free fall? I w...  [Read More]

The strangest thing is Tower 7. It had absolutely no damage whatsoever, however, it fell, seemingly out of the blue, also at maximum velocity. Building 7 did have some damage (although it was not struck by a plane), however the question is did it tak...  [Read More]
