Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York Sept 11 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London, and in downtown Manhattan, and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan.
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:
I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to the bank:
I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:
I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, believe me!! You guessed it ........
I don't care!!

ahhh the war on terror, isnt it interesting how the western world condems osama bin laden for fighting a holy war against us, yet via the cia, he was funded and trained to do just that during the soviet occupation of afghanistan, yet because he isnt playing by their rules anymore, he is no longer a heroic freedom fighter, but a murdering b

What a pathetically simplistic view of the world.Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York Sept 11 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since?

Did this originally arrive with FW:FW:FW: in the subject line?
Nice copy paste 
And WTF is this about

Think this refers to that poppy burning demo in london recently, and the fact that they can say and do what they want as there is the freedom of speech etc etcAnd WTF is this about

I think the US would prefer it if 'we' didn't have a free press and that uncomfortable stories like GI's exposing their private parts to detainees and building human pyramids of naked iraqi's were kept quiet. And WTF is this about

Of course it's a copy and paste. I took no part in writing it and assumed you chaps would assume that anyway.
I got it in an email and felt like passing it on for your views.
FWIW, it very much seems to me like a (poor) attempt at a shock horror type email forward.
Notable lack of "Haha, look at this load of simpleminded spack!" in the OP, OP.I got it in an email and felt like passing it on for your views.

That's a fine reverse gear on your pushbike, there!

I think it would have helped if you had quoted it. The way you posted made it look like you were trying to pass it as your own work. I got it in an email and felt like passing it on for your views.

Read it again, its not about the poppy protest, it's about the British media(what exactly about them I don't know). Also this circular mail has been going round for a couple of months now, i.e. before the beardy ones burnt the poppy.
