Great!!! Good for them!!! But i'm really not interested in bragging rights as to which country has the richest women or men. I really could care less about it. Though, i did notice you left out Christy and Alice Walton of Wal-Mart with a combined fortune of $43 billion between them both...

Interesting comment. I presume you haven't really visited the states! Then I guess you haven't met many middle class Black Americans? Or middle class 3,4, and fifth generation Asian? Or 2 or 3rd generation middle class Latin Americans/Hispanics? I guess you also haven't read a recent news report...

And why should we believe you? You guys are following in the same path as set down bu us, ya' know... the very spawns of satan! :sarcastic:... :rolleyes1:

If that is indeed the sentiments of the Chinese leadership and the majority of it's citizens, which i currently doubt it is, then we might as well kiss China's benign peaceful rise good bye and welcome the new reality of her malignant belligerency? Be very careful in what you wish for.

By the many Turkish comments, the subject is not only taboo but also closed for further discussion? Pity.

Hopefully this doesn't come across to you as condescending, but this has always been a very popular method of confusing the very people that it is intended for. In this case, it wasn't aimed so much at the Greeks as it was at getting the Turkish population to go along with it. And yes, it works...

A false flag operation by another nationality other than an American one? Who'd thunk it?

Wayne Madsen, huh? A liberal conspiracy nut here in the states, kind of like our ridiculous birthers on the right. I might give these type of people a little more credibility if they weren't pushing a particular political agenda down our throats every time they open their mouths. A pox on both...

That is pretty much what foreign relations boils down to. Well that and how much to give and take should be applied to a country in a key regional location. In the case of US interests, Turkey as a bridge to US relations with the middle east.

Of course nobody wants their country to look weak by accepting outside help, but that is not what i had meant to imply. No need to let national pride get in the way. Please allow me to rephrase that, "A few Turks have questioned if we had given anything in return in the relationship". And i...

It's not often mentioned because iguess of some supposed loss of pride, and more confirmation would be nice, but many of these snipers and other supposedly elite insurgent units, as is often noted in the press, had received the same type of training as their Western counterparts. In fact, too...

Agreed. There needs to be a fair equilibrium established as far as our relations with both Turkey and Greece are concerned, both Nato partners. As far as US-Greece relations go, it has gotten the short end of the stick as compared to US-Turkey relations. Given this and the past animosity...

Hi Jigs. I was just answering those who questioned the US-Turkey relationship. Iraq did not present any good options for us at that time. Personally, if Saddam hadn't been such a monster to everyone else, who knows, he may never had been removed in the first place? I can think of nothing...

Ah yes, Israel & Palestine. What an issue! A brief summation... :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall: :suicide2:

I do have a question or two, is anyone here worried that the Chinese economy might pop like a bubble? Are people in/outside of China even worried about that?

What has the US ever done for Turkey? Aside from the obvious downer the relationship is in currently, for those who are miffed, here are a few things to mull over... - Cooperation on the JSF program - It's support in joining the EU (Currently frowned upon by some) - Cooperation on peaceful uses...

Well, if democrats are so worried about it now, then why have they spent the last several decades taxing the life blood out of our corporations? It shouldn't be any wonder now that republicans seem to be more pro-business, and for a good reason! BAH!

I am sorry, but i have to respectfully disagree, you brought it up in your initial post. If you do not want any future posts derailed, then i humbly suggest laying off of the inflammatory conspiratorial rhetoric. I say again, no national government inside or outside of the region has any...

Kind of sounds like when People in other countries can't differentiate between Americans and Canadians. Sometime in the future that "might" include Mexicans as well?

I guess then, that begs the question on why the US would even put itself, it's bases, it's relationship, seeing that it's position is already in such a precarious position in Pakistani eyes, towards the engineering of a flood that would do away with the Pakistani state as we know it? That simply...
