I think 25min max on “really good maps” cause sometimes even if ppl are doing well they still want to move onto something else.

The only thing I edited was to move italy train towards the end that way if people come for snow then want to leave for italy they instead stay for both maps and then have a full load for deag5.
Just a suggestion but otherwise I think this is awesome and you have been doing a good job besides your slight absense.
They were trained, armed, and lead from Afghanistan. Unlike Obama, Bush doesn’t discuss attacking allied nations on national television.
I don’t know where you got your resources on this one but they were not trained in Afghanistan. All of the people who drove the planes got their certification from American pilot schools.
Socialism is the stepping stone to communism. If you need a history book I’ll be glad to mail you one. But even by your own definition of communism, if a doctor gets paid $250,000 but pays 60% taxes for being “rich” and an engineer gets paid $100,000 but is tax exempt from being “middle-class”, they get the same paychecks. This whole “tax the rich more” system can only lead to communism.
Yes people have to pay taxes. No my potholes aren’t getting fixed and no my streets don’t get plowed. Raising the taxes won’t do anything for the infrastructure because state governments routinely pull money from highway and infrastructure funds to balance out the general budget. Taxes aren’t the answer to infrastructure, actually giving a *edited* is.
I think that we need to increase taxes for everyone not just the upper class. I realize you may have earned your money but so have I. I did not “excel” in school but I tried my hardest to get into college and better myself and now I go to one of the best teaching schools in the nation.
I am glad to see liberals finally admit that Kerry would have lead this country down the wrong path after 9/11. I honestly didn’t think any of you would ever admit it.
I am not a liberal or a democrat. I have said from day 1 that I believe that Kerry would have messed things up worse than Bush if a 9/11 would have happened for him. That being said I do believe that it was our fault 9/11 happened in the first place. And no matter how much you may deny it, it is true.

So far I have succeeded in staying out of this, but I am being drawn in.Here is how I feel about Obama. I did not vote for him at all, but until he actually does something which I disapprove of I cannot say that I dislike him or that he is a bad president. With that said, judging by his rhetoric on the campaign trail, it probably won’t be long until he does something that I don’t like.
“What I have to ask you is if more then 3/4 of the people who carried out the attacks on 9/11 why did we attack Sadam Hussein and go into Afghanistan? Was it not Saudi Arabia’s fault?”
Good question. Can I infer from this question that you really don’t see why we had to go to Afghanistan? I will assume that you do, so lets deal with Iraq.
It is a fair question why Saudi Arabia didn’t make the invade list, but I can only assume that the fact that its government and the US are friends and it did not host any terrorist camps was probably one of the reasons we didn’t invade.
Iraq on the other hand was different. Obviously, Hussien was not friendly to the US and unfortunately for him had at least one terrorist camp in Iraq. Unfortunately for him, he also had 14 or 15 UN resolutions calling for him to disarm, which he openly defied. Add on top of this to a failed land grab into Kuwait in 1991 and repeated aggression upon the Kurds with WMDs (VX nerve gas. One of the villages that he wiped out was what they charged him with and executed him for.) and you have a pretty bad guy who claims he has WMDs, who has used WMDs, and starts wars to absorb and terrorize neighboring countries.
Now, you may ask how does this affect us? He actually has no WMDs, and even if he did, he wouldn’t use them on us, right? Ignore the obvious humanitarian crisis afflicting his country. Ignore the training camp. The US has allies in that region. As mentioned earlier Saudi Arabia is one, Kuwait is another, Qatar, Israel, etc. Saddam, you could argue, posed no threat to us, but he did pose a huge threat to these others. The threat to Kuwait is obvious, as seen in 1991. Also in 1991, he shot as many SCUD missles as a he had at Israel during the Gulf War. He was going to go after Saudi Arabia next, if the US hadn’t intervened. You can argue about the importance of these allies, whether it be to ensure a stable oil supply or to provide us with intelligence on terrorists, but they are our allies. Ignoring the threat posed by Saddam would be like ignoring the threat of Germany in WWI. The US protects its friends and keeps the peace. The war to remove Saddam was not without mistakes, to be sure, but it needed to be done.
For further proof, look to Bill Clinton. Why would he of all people bomb Saddam unless it was a threat? (Or to divert attention from Monica.)
They did not have terrorist camps however they did fund terrorism and there are blatant showings of it. They also harbored terrorist throughout the last 25+yrs. I hate bringing up 9/11 but because this is a discussion on obama and bush and whoever else I will bring it up again. 11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. 11. Terrorists. Saudi Born. And Bred. You can’t tell me that they are not a threat.
I am Israeli and have lots of family over there. If we wanted Saddam dead you don’t think we would have done it ourselves? We quarantined his housing unit for over a week before and we’ve done this several times.
We didn’t do anything until 1916 and the war was over in 1918. You can not compare an evil of that time to an evil of this time. Yes I agree there are a lot of similarities but you can not compare it.

To GameOver: According to our new president, paying TAXES is our patriotic duty. And don’t even get started with CEO salary comparisons, most congressmen make more than doctors. Since congressmen sit in an office all day long or ride around on private jets, why aren’t you *edited*ed at them?Facism: “A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.”
–Centralization of authority under a dictator: government control of markets, banks, and industry through bailout the program
–stringent socioeconomic controls: Helping the poor and minorities by “redistributing wealth” from the rich
–suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship: Obama is the only candidate to date to kick reporters from newspapers that didn’t support him off his plane, independent studies found that Obama’s press coverage was much more positive than McCain’s and that McCain had nearly 60% negative stories and 15% positive ones while Obama was balanced at ~30% positive/negative/neutral
–policy of belligerent nationalism and racism: Obama played the race card before anyone came close to bringing up his race as a negative
Now the real question is whether or not Obama will pick communism or facism as there are fairly strong signs of both in how he plans to run things while in office.
Relist the questions as I don’t feel like looking for them but will be happy to answer.
Once again you have failed to answer my other questions from earlier I want to know…”What I have to ask you is if more then 3/4 of the people who carried out the attacks on 9/11 why did we attack Sadam Hussein and go into Afghanistan? Was it not Saudi Arabia’s fault?”
Why do republicans constantly compare a somewhat socialist agenda to communism. It is no where close to it. Communism is everyone getting the exact same pay for doing whatever job they get.
Yes I do believe that paying taxes is our patriotic duty otherwise our country would crumble. Your version of the perfect conservative/republican world automatically becomes Anarchy and therefore I win. Peoplle Have to pay taxes there is no question about this. That is how the potholes in your street gets fixed or when it snows your road gets plowed.
And yes there are a lot of people that I am mad at because they make an over satiable amount of money for doing nothing. No matter what you say our country is not how hard you work but who you blow. Those rats sitting in office and congress and senate or even the mayor of your town has most likely taken a bribe or two and weaseled there ways into office.
I acknowledge that there are some genuine people out there that truly do some good but face it once again there is .5% of the country that ruins it for the rest.(I realize that is not an actual stat but you get my point)

You personally may not have voted for him but guess what, 52% of voters did and now he only has a 34% approval rating, meaning that a whopping 22 million people went “o wait, maybe I DIDNT mean to vote for him”. Also, just because I didn’t vote for Obama does that mean I should automatically disagree with his every action? I mean you said THAT is patriotism so sure why not.I did not disagree with every action Bush has made but I do feel that he is one of the worst presidents we have ever had and I do feel that he did not deserve office. I am glad it was him who was there when 9/11 happened because I do not believe Kerry could have handled it. But I do not believe that he went after the right group of people.

This has very little to do with this topic but I need to say something.I am sick of people blaming the current state of the economy on Bush. That is complete bull*edited* and anyone who honestly believes that is retarded. The ONLY thing you might be able to partially blame him for is putting us more in national debt (note: because he lowered taxes), which really didn’t damage the economy. President Bush IS NOT the CEO of Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac / Lehman Bros / Washington Mutual ETC. He did not involve them in risky loans nor did he make the poor financial decisions they made. Hell, I won’t even blame Clinton for that (though there is certainly argument for it) because at the end of the day, it was the CEOs of all of these companies that *edited*ed us over. Go be *edited*ed at them if you want, not Bush. Please feel free to blame Bush for Iraq, Katrina, etc (I won’t) but at least blame him for things he actually had an impact on. According to an MSNBC poll I just looked at, about 70+% of responders said he was the “worst president ever”. Guess what America, YOU VOTED FOR HIM SO STFU AND GTFO.
Also, I will support Obama even though I did not vote for him because I would still like to believe he will do good things for the country.
/rant (for now)
First off I am *edited*ed at CEO’s they make more money than the president does yet they do not do remotely any work compared to him. CEO’s make more money then neurosurgeons….the list is endless.
Secondly I did not vote for him and and I will not STFU AND GTFO. Part of being patriotic is dissenting the government but you fascist conservatives wouldn’t know anything about that you are just as bad as the terrorists you want to kill. You realize that you’re blind faith is the same blind faith that took out 9/11?
O and btw MP you still don’t have an answer to my questions.
Yeah sounds bad but maybe we should get in contact with a server that we know has it and ask them for their code
I just think he went to some voice trainer and they somewhat helped a rir rir bit but the fact is he sucks so bad that he will never ever be good.
I can not find it I know for a fact I have seen it on 10 different servers is there somewhere I should be looking that I am not?
I dont think that will keep the server population here tho, There is a script that says “you can not choose a map with in the last 5 maps played” and if we have this script it is not working.
I posted this.
I don’t think rtv is stupid but I notice that no one is in the server except for a few maps. And when some one rtv it to d2 3x in a row people peace out…idk I am really tired and I guess its not valid.
Had he done it we would have said the same thing most “bleeding liberals” say about Bush, he is an *edited*, and once again he is derailing attention from what he has done.
He presented everyone with clear evidence in 1994 and 96(check date late) with power points and everything about Osama Bin Laden and they said that he was a no name terrorist and was not worth going after because he hasn’t gained any power. What I have to ask you is if more then 3/4 of the people who carried out the attacks on 9/11 why did we attack Sadam Hussein and go into Afghanistan? Was it not Saudi Arabia’s fault?

Actually the Sudan’s practically begged us to let them arrest and extradite him to a US allied country. They also offered a good bit of intelligence on Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and Hezbollah. From everything I’ve read, the Clinton Administration ignored the offer.In 2000, we had predator drones flying over his camps and they have flight videos with Bin Laden in them. Cruise missiles work great for that sort of thing and considering Clinton said “We will use all the means at our disposal to bring those responsible to justice, no matter what or how long it takes” I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t have done so unless he really just didnt’ care. Gary Schroen, a former CIA station chief in Pakistan, said the White House required the CIA to attempt to capture bin Laden alive, rather than kill him.
I can tell you this, if Bush was told they had the location of Bin Laden, I don’t think there would be less than 5 cruise missiles launched.
They did not ignore the offer. What happened was that the press and congress and senate thought he was derailing attention from his sexual activities and refused to listen to him. The intelligence they had on Hamas and Hezbollah was the same everyone else had. Therefore the intelligence was useless.

Why bother when you can set the entire mess in your successor’s lap. Depending on your party affiliation, the media will be more than happy to give you a pass and play along in the blame game.And yes Ephraim you have every right to be worried about Obama’s CIA pick as he has absolutely no experience in the intelligence business. This Newsweek quote should scare anyone with a brain:
So democrats think he’s a good pick because he’s a DC veteran and is smart. Would it have been better to pick someone already at the agency who has a good handle on what’s going on. This is a pivotal point in how our future will play out and we simply cannot afford to budget cut and screw around with intelligence gathering like Clinton did.
With Clinton’s “screwing around” he was able to bring to senate and other defenses osama bin laden and people shrugged it off basically as a joke saying that he was diverting the press to something that wasn’t there. Well guess what? He was there and clearly showed his power in 2001 when he hired 11 Saudis and 6(7?) others to hijack planes.
We need to have have some short plans but work on longevity. Throughout the history of the united states there has not been enough focus on longterm
you knife them in the butt and collect all the anal blood then you get your grandmother and bathe in it. after you realize how much of a nut job you are some one might tell you.
…he payed taxes he missed something within those taxes that normal people miss all the time as well. So it was an honest mistake.
