not a bad view for the 72,000 American dollars prepaid five year rent you forked over to the Korean Landowner.
Over here the same deal would have cost you well over 225,000 American dollars.

Euroyank – As you still cannot grasp how to make your point in a concise, readable fashion (multiple posts, repetition of points and inconsistent caps usage) and you persist in ad hominem attacks (against me (“NUMB NUTS†“FOOL†“FOOL”), against some well respected officials

John Dimitri Negroponte (born July 21 , 1939 ) (pronounced neg-row-pontee) is the current UnitedStates ambassador to Iraq . A career diplomat who served in the US Foreign Service from 1960 to 1997, Negroponte served as U.S.ambassador to the United Nations from September of 2001 until June2004. As ambassador to Iraq, Negroponte oversees the largest American diplomatic facility in the world.
He is a controversial figure because of his involvement in covert funding of the Contras and his covering up of human rights abuses carried out by CIA -traineddeath squads in Honduras in the 1980s.
In 1984 Nicaragua filed a suit in the World Court against the United States in Nicaragua v. United States , which in 1986 resulted in aguilty verdict against the US, calling on it to “cease and to refrain” from the unlawful use of force against Nicaragua throughdirect attack by US forces and through training, funding and support of the terrorist forces. The US was “in breach of its obligation under customary international law not to use forceagainst another state” and was ordered to pay reparations (see note 1). The US response to this ruling was to dismiss thejuristiction of the court and escalate the war.After direct military aid was interrupted by the BolandAmendment (passed by the U.S. Congress in December 1982 and extended in October 1984 to forbid action by not only the DefenseDepartment and the Central IntelligenceAgency but all U.S. government agencies), Administration officials sought to procure third-party funding of militarysupplies, culminating in the Iran-Contra Affair of1986-1987.
From 1981 to 1985 Negroponte was US ambassador to Honduras. During his tenure, he oversaw the growth of military aid toHonduras from $4 million to $77.4 million a year, a country at that time ruled by a right-wing military dictatorship. Accordingto The New York Times , Negroponte was responsible for”carrying out the covert strategy of the Reagan administration to crushthe Sandinistas government in Nicaragua .” Critics say that during his ambassadorship, human rights violations in Honduras becamesystematic.Negroponte supervised the construction of the El Aguacate air base, where the US trained Nicaraguan Contras and which critics say was used as a secret detention and torture center during the 1980s. InAugust 2001, excavations at the base discovered 185 corpses, including two Americans, who are thought to have been killed andburied at the site.
Records also show that a special intelligence unit (commonly referred to as a “death squad”) of the Honduran armed forces,Battalion 3-16, trained by the CIA and Argentine military, kidnapped, tortured and killed hundreds of people, including US missionaries. Critics chargethat Negroponte knew about these human rights violations and yet continued to collaborate with the Honduran military while lyingto Congress .
In May 1982, a nun, Sister Laetitia Bordes, who had worked for ten years in El Salvador, went on a fact-finding delegation toHonduras to investigate the whereabouts of thirty Salvadoran nuns and women of faith who fled to Honduras in 1981 afterArchbishop Óscar Romero ‘s assassination. Negroponte claimed the embassyknew nothing. But in a 1996 interview with the Baltimore Sun ,Negroponte’s predecessor, Jack Binns, said that a group of Salvadorans, among whom were the women Bordes had been looking for,were captured on April 22, 1981, and savagely tortured by the DNI, the Honduran Secret Police, and then later thrown out ofhelicopters alive.
In early 1984, two American mercenaries , Thomas Posey and Dana Parker,contacted Negroponte, stating they wanted to supply arms to the Contras after the U.S. Congress had banned further military aid.Documents show that Negroponte brought the two with a contact in the Honduran armed forces The operation was exposed nine monthslater, at which point the Reagan administration denied any US involvement, despite Negroponte’s participation in the scheme.Other documents uncovered a plan of Negroponte and then-Vice President George H. W. Bush to funnel Contra aid money through the Honduran government.
During his tenure as US ambassador to Honduras, Binns, who was appointed by President Jimmy Carter , made numerous complaints about human rights abuses by the Honduran military and he claimed hefully briefed Negroponte on the situation before leaving the post. When the Reagan administration came to power, Binns wasreplaced by Negroponte, who has consistently denied having knowledge of any wrongdoing. Later, the Honduras Commission on HumanRights accused Negroponte himself of human rights violations.
Speaking of Negroponte and other senior US officials, an ex-Honduran congressman, Efrain Diaz, told the BaltimoreSun, which in 1995 published an extensive investigation of US activities in Honduras:
Their attitude was one of tolerance and silence. They needed Honduras to loan its territory more than they were concernedabout innocent people being killed.
The Suns’s investigation found that the CIA and US embassy knew of numerous abuses but continued to support Battalion3-16 and ensured that the embassy’s annual human rights report did not contain the full story.
The question of what John Negroponte knew about human rights abuses in Honduras will probably never be answered definitively,but there is a large body of circumstantial evidence supporting the view that Negroponte was aware that serious violations ofhuman rights were carried out by the Honduran government with the support of the CIA. Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, on 14 September 2001, as reported in the Congressional Record , aired his suspicions on the occasion ofNegroponte’s nomination to the position of UN ambassador:
Based upon the Committee’s review of State Department and CIA documents, it would seem that Ambassador Negroponte knew farmore about government perpetuated human rights abuses than he chose to share with the committee in 1989 or in Embassycontributions at the time to annual State Department Human Rights reports.
Among other evidence, Dodd cited a cable sent by Negroponte in 1985 that made it clear that Negroponte was aware of the threatof “future human rights abuses” by “secret operating cells” left over by General Alvarez after his deposition in 1984.
Appointment to the UN
When President Bush announced Negroponte’s appointment to the UN shortly after coming to office, it was met with widespreadprotest. However, the Bush administration did not back down and even went so far as to try to silence potential witnesses. OnMarch 25 2001, the Los Angeles Times reported on thesudden deportation from the United States of several former Honduran death squad members who could have provided damagingtestimony against Negroponte in his Senate confirmation hearings.
One of the deportees was General Luis Alonso Discua, founder of Battalion 3-16. In the preceding month, Washington had revokedthe visa of Discua who was Honduras’ Deputy Ambassador to the UN. Nonetheless, Discua went public with details of US support ofBattalion 3-16.
Upon learning of Negroponte’s nomination, Reed Brody of HumanRights Watch in New York commented:
When John Negroponte was ambassador he looked the other way when serious atrocities were committed. One would have to wonderwhat kind of message the Bush administration is sending about human rights by this appointment.
Negroponte in Iraq
On April 19, 2004, Negroponte was nominated by US President George W. Bush to beUS ambassador to Iraq after the June 30 handover. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on May 6, 2004, by a vote of 95 to 3, and wasofficially sworn in on June 23, 2004, replacing L. Paul Bremer as thecountry’s head American civilian official.

TJ – In Europe they have work contracts … which means the employee gets paid a lump sum if he is laid off usually around 32,000 dollars, his pension, medical benefits, and unemployment are additional guarantees NUMB NUTS.

Johnathan … by the way you are wrong with you statistics… in Luxembourg the average income per capita is 54,000 in dollars and in the EU you MUST COUNT the SOCIAL BENEFITS GUARANTEED and the WORK CONTRACTS and PAYOUT AMOUNTS if LAID OFF… lots of things you do not know or US statistics DON’T TELL.

Carol – oops sorry… was talking to myself… hoped you were not listening.:grin:

Your whacked out RIGHT controls the supreme court, the congress, the senate, the judicial branch and the executive branch, and the world bank…. HOW Much MORE control do you need TO DESTROY EVERYTING?
» Posted By EuroYank On 21/April/2005 @ 2:25 pm
The only threat the US truly fears is itself (and the whacked out liberal left that is seeking to destroy us from within). The threat is from the whacked out RIGHT. Your right is destroying the country from within, but that is something we will never agree on … but I will leave you with one closing remark … the last thing Bin Laden said on one of his aired tapes …. “You will lose your money and your economy.” He knew exactly how Bush JR would react. He knew his CIA PRSIDENT father before he became the previous President.

Carol you are so Southern and so conservative, problably Baptist also.

that comment goes for you also Carol

outnumbered 20 -1 I meant to say.
» Posted By EuroYank On 21/April/2005 @ 3:53 am
TJ – I do not think Germany will allow itself to get outnumber 20 to one anymore if some problem starts, nor take on the whole world at the same time. For Germans its laughable you have such a major problem with small countries numbering a few million gooks.

«« Back To Stats PageTJ the only reason the USA is still stationed in Germany is not to protect Germany from an outside invasion. Its to keep Germans in line. And the German Army can at anytime be reconfigured stronger than ever. This time the Russians are our best friends also.
