	How is your country supporting the war. Enter the AD-FREE zone

We can say all the shite we want, there's real politiks and international agreements.


So how is your country supporting the war?


Greece is through the Suda Naval Base in SE Crete, which has seen hundrends of American planes, pass through, land, refuel, air refuel, even air transport tanks etc.


Greece protects this base with Patriot missiles and S-300 missiles which even have limited anti-balistic capability. (can stop nukes, to an extend).


It has also supplied a military frigate in the region. The gov. insists that it's not taking part in military operations, but is for checking ships out that pass its way.

Belgium allows military transports because of its international agreements, though even not allowing that is being discussed by some parties.

Well, today our troops aided the Americans in consolidating control of Basra, and several hunded thousand of our civilians went on anti-war rallies.

LoL, I just heard on the dutch television that during a press conference with a bunch of top military fags a dutch officer was introduced... (meaning he cooperated with the attack on iraq, suggesting the netherlands are sending military troops to Iraq)


You probably all know that the netherlands are not militarily involved in this conflict!! The Dutch minister of defense was not all too happy about this lol!!

I gotta give it to the Americans though, this is an easy way to make it look like you've got a lot of support for this war, when really you haven't got much support from the rest of world! ah propaganda, ah CNN

My country, Denmark, is actually the fourth active member of the coalition. Denmarks contribution to the fighting forces in Iraq consists of two naval vessels. A submarine and a corvette.

These vessels have both been placed under U.S. command, and the submarine is already in place in the Gulf. The corvette will arrive sometime around next week-end.

I think we should have sent more, but the political climate in my country does not allow for that.

China condemns the war and calls for it to stop.

Singapore is staying out, calling for the war to end quickly, and pledging aid to Iraq when it's over. In the meantime, the press in Singapore is very helpful:

Canada is staying out of the military conflict, though there are a few frigates in the region. In the meantime there is strong support for the government's position, especially in Quebec.

All in all, an amazing amount of support and understanding for the American point of view.

Oh eh right, I know they're there, I just don't watch CNN all day sorry...

Sure there's always a whole bunch of people happy to be "liberated", but on the other hand there are so many that are not happy with it at all that you could have shown... manipulating the crowd that's called


For me anyway I don't need to see a PICTURE of troops surrendering, as i'm not interested in that anyway, the information they have surrendered is enough for me

that's the whole shitty thing with these LIVE shows (reporters at a certain location are doing a story they could have done in a studio as well lol)


For instance reporters reporting no agreement has been reached yet (at the same time you see them standing in front of some concrete block, shivering with cold, with the annoying sound of cars in the background) HAVE to do it live where the action is... just hilarious

They could handle a lot more news if they stopped doing the time consuming live interviews nobody gives a **** about anyway

It's like after a sports game (or during half-time): what the players have to say is usually a load of bollox that is obvious to everyone and nobody is interested in anyway

Trajanus: Well, I disagree about the silliness of the on-location reporting.

Last night I watched CNN in the background for hours and saw lots of VERY interesting stuff:

Cobra attack helicopters firing on Iraqi troops near Basra.
US Marines destroying deserted Iraqi tanks, with a surprise attack from an RPG during the process which caused a mad scramble to find and locate the attacker.
A pesky Iraqi artillary piece that wouldn't let go. The artillary from the Cavalary didn't do anything, so they tried sending the Kiowa helicopters, and they retreated due to heavy fire. So then they called in an A-10, which got the job done...

Very interesting stuff that's not-so-interesting in a studio reenactment.

Okay I agree, when it's stuff like that it's an interesting view
However here in Belgium all we get is a picture of Baghdad or something, with a few people or so running back and forth.. pretty boring
