Hilux or Jeep, both will be blown up just as effectively by an Aussie FA18.

Yeah because it was all so peaceful and joyous in that region before 1776.

Good point. Perhaps they figured out that Camels could not be replaced or repaired quickly enough in a combat situation... Once landed in Sydney and got in a rental car and happened to tune into some obscure Muslim preaching channel. The imam/preacher was lamenting the fact that Muslims were lazy and made no technology such as cars, aircraft of their own and were calling all Muslims to improve in these areas.

A - The US paid for them
B - Go here http://www.tarpley.net and http://www.zerohedge.com C - Educate yourselves with some real facts instead of the "facts" on the 6pm news.

And you would know? Or are you just another sheeple that believes what the media say about it so that the West can go around willy nilly handing out some of that "freedom" that no one asked for, bombing and killing who they want without question and with the backing of the same retarded sheeple that are posting in this thread?

So there were no Toyota's in the middle east before ISIS stormed in? And that if they weren't supplied by America they were stolen from Australia?

Whilst Toyota's public statement on the use of their vehicles by terrorists is as you would expect, I wonder if they are really basking in the positive marketing message the use implies
In my mind it underscores the brands at least perceived reliability and durability If Toyota is good enough for rogue militants it's probably good enough to cart my stuff to work |

There was no war in the region from periods between Siege of Baghdad (1258) by the Mongols UNTIL..... WORLD WAR 1 when British and French decided to invade and draw up random straight line borders between states/countries. From WW1 to just about 10 years ago, it was controlled under dictators, most of the countries relatively poor but still peaceful. Until Americans came in and messed everything up. The ISIS is the result of Americans meddling into Middle-East affairs. Supposedly war on nukes, turned out to be a complete hoax. |

I've seen many images of them also using GMC/Silverado and F trucks.
Maybe the whole Toyota thing is 'shared' locally to install the unbreakable image, so people can justify paying thousands more for a Toyota badged vehicle compared to the Nissan, Mitsubishi etc. alternative. Also a great reassurance when old mate is replacing yet another cracked head on his 1Kze which is priced twice that of the same Pajero, Discovery or Pathfinder simply because of the badge on the grille. As for unbreakable you'd be hard pressed to beat any Mercedes preceeding the 1990s |

Wow the amount of sheer ignorance on here is astounding. It's sickening. It's embarrassing.
Quote:
Oh and I wonder what the family of the 100's of thousands of dead innocent Iraqi's think of that decade long serving of freedom the west gave them? How are they any less important than one deceased Sydney person? Because you believe everything you see on TV, and as the media would have you believe they aren't fellow human beings, they're just scum terrorists, yep, every single one of them You should be ashamed of yourself. Do some research. There are countless videos online on YouTube etc... that have UNBIASED interviews conducted by non-mainstream media interviewing Iraqis on the ground who are living through that hell hole we created. There's also videos of soldiers at conferences after they finished their tour, throwing their medals on the ground saying they are ashamed of their country, hating themselves for what they have done, explaining how their commanding officers would award soldiers several days of extra leave for whoever the first person is to stab someone to death. And you support this crap by agreeing that it's just and well deserved.

I think EVERYONE here needs to have a read of this:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-1...ssia-proxy-war This is what people should be taking interest in and getting worked up about and having a passionate opinion about, not the crap televised on the 6pm news that is all just blatant lies.

Why would it matter if their real names are used or not? It's an article providing information. Kind of irrelevant. Putting a bloggers name doesn't do anything to credit or discredit the info contained in the article whatsoever. You're smarter than that surely?
I'm sure a simple google search will yield countless other articles online that echo what's written on that zero hedge page. By all means if you can find anything discrediting what's there then post it up. Quote:

If you can read bull**** in the papers without picking at it and complaining about the lack of sources then why can't you be open minded and read an article online that provides a plethora more info? Maybe it isn't accurate, maybe it is? maybe it's sensationalised, maybe it's not? But it's not a bad thing to consider more than one side of the story and then draw your own conclusions.
