Thank you! It's good to hear that those poor people can finally stop living in fear and start to learn and grow. I know one day soon their children will be able to ride bikes in the streets and play with other children.

LOL.

Oh God, the ignorance. Who told you they couldn't ride bikes and play with other children? The only time Saddam killed them was when they went against his politics. You people are so vulnerable.

(b) Iraq was invaded based on an agenda of the US who fed lies and deceit in order to justify this latest adventure. This lying continues almost on a daily basis.

(c) The US "war against terrorism" in Iraq killed many thousands of innocent people - there is nothing to say in defence of this.

(c) Iraq is a country under US military occupation, - it is not a free country that has been "liberated".

(d) With very few exception, this "war of terror" (duh??) in Iraq has zero support from the rest of the world.

Until two days ago the US Admin showed little inclination to get the fuck out of Iraq, but on the other hand, was asking for international support. (Come and pay the price of our fuck up. Why.. but no thanks!) Clearly others are not supporting a rogue regime in the US - they cannot be trusted.

Now, a few days later, yet again, the US and UK want another UNSC resolution with an undertaking which appears to suggest the US will get out by year end - but wait for it - the small print is in progress.

This problem was originally instigated by the US government and, as may be expected from previous adventures, there is now a desire to "opt out" at a time the actual war is slowly gaining momentum and body bags are being used.

There is a theory that goes.. "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." - For this fraud on a "war against terrorism" the US will pay a very high price in the future, not just from "terrorists" (so labelled), but from many other countries in many different levels. I have zero sympathy since it is the US and UK who inflicted the damage and, rightly, the price will be paid.

PS.. As for "1200 fully operational schools being handed over to the Iraqis on Tuesday" - Where the hell did they come from?? They must be working so hard out there - sorry.. gimme a break! Yet another lie!

BTW, ask your friend if he found any WMD ??? You know, those things that Powell said at the UN that he knew where they were... and that needed to be taken care of right now...

Now that was funny. I think it's pretty interesting how the Bush supporters completely forgot about the REAL reasons he gave to start this war in the first place.

War is not like a splinter in your toe, or taking it up the ass for the first time. War is War. Cot Darnit! War is terror. Just imagine you sitting in your house and every seconds you hear gun fire, not knowing when that shit is going to hit you.

So, if none of the reasons he gave turned out to be true, then why the HELL are some of you still supporting this idiot?

Letters from Iraq: LOL

Quote:

Newspapers sent same letter signed by different soldiers
By Ledyard King, Gannett News Service
WASHINGTON ? Letters from hometown soldiers describing their successes rebuilding Iraq have been appearing in newspapers across the country as U.S. public opinion on the mission sours.

But many of them are the same form letter.

A Gannett News Service search found identical letters in 11 newspapers. They were signed by different soldiers with the 2nd Battalion of the 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, also known as "The Rock." The five-paragraph letter relates soldiers' efforts to re-establish police and fire departments and build water and sewer plants in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, where the unit is based.

"The quality of life and security for the citizens has been largely restored, and we are a large part of why that has happened," the letter reads. "The majority of the city has welcomed our presence with open arms."

They are often not dumb, but bound up in this cloak of righteousness and "superiority", come from West Virginia and ain't got one clue as to what may have happened in the next state - nevermind a foreign (that means being one of "them") country..

And not even properly done!

Quote:

A seventh soldier didn't know about the letter until his father congratulated him for getting it published in the Beckley, W.Va., newspaper. "When I told him he wrote such a good letter, he said, 'What letter?' " Timothy Deaconson said of the phone conversation he had with his son, Pfc. Nick Deaconson.

In any civilized country ( other than the US ), people would be in the streets asking for the gov to resign.

Yep, they are blinded by patriotism. It's also called cultural brainwashing.

I'd accept this type of ignorance from an under-developed country, but not no big huge developed country like America. I mean shit, put those books to use. Engage in some independent thinking and stay away from Fox News for a bit.

I guess Bush has to actually blow up the world for these peopel to realize that he's no good.

I suspect that it was thought up by a soldier...either Enlisted or Officer...as my friends in the military that I correspond with are not very happy with the portrayal by the media. By the way how is it a scam...if you agree with it?

How about spending 167 BILLION on finding that cock sucker Osama? you know.. they guy that actually had something to do with 9/11? christ.. Take out saudi arabia.. where the hijackers actually came from. That was the most ridiculous strawman deflecting reply I think i've seen here for a while.

besides wasn't it to liberate the poor iraqi people??? or is the reason still changing to suit the argument?

it was bush that sat on his hands when the threat was imminent.. it was under bush that the information network failed to protect america. Clinton sent tomahawks raining down on his camps.. which while ineffective and useless is still way more than what bush did. The intelligence reports showed the risk and the BUSH administration either ignored it or was too useless to pick up on it.

If Bush wasn't so deep into the Saudi Arabian royal families ass there might have actually been some real value for those dollars spent in Iraq... what do we have now? WMD that aren't contained and are out somewhere on the black market. Hooray.
And an Iraq that is quite possibly on the brink of an islamic revolution. Gee I feel safer.

Bush blew up the wrong sand ******s.

taking out saddam certainly isn't a bad thing depending on how it's done, but don't talk about terrorism and Iraq in the same breath when there are several other countries that actually are known harbourers of them.

1. as does Saudi Arabia.

2. Saddam giving money to suicide bombers's families is a publicity stunt. It's not like he's funding Hamas.

3. Who gives a fuck if he supports violent palestinians. The US government gave Saddam support when he was killing his OWN people - does this mean the US government should be disposed of?

4. Support of palestinian bombers is different to support of al quaeda. Israel is responsible and can take care of it's own issues. How many palestinian bombers were hijacking planes on 9/11? If any links at all show Saddam gave money to terrorists with international activities and not just publicity stunts for localised issues then yeah there was some merit taking him out on terrorist grounds.
I don't see Bush bombing terrosrist orgs in north Ireland. And I don't mean that in a bland blaise statement, just that the administration will only go after the terrorist orgs it wants to for whatever reasons it feels like making up.
I fear Hamas about as much as the IRA.. not one fucking Iota.. spend money getting at Al Qaeda, Jemiah Islamia etc etc. orgs with proven international scope to harm western countries. Going into Iraq because Saddam gave money to bombers families before taking out networks with proven records of anti-western action is reckless, irresponsible and frankly a waste of money and western blood.

It's a good thing that Saddam is gone (depending on what replaces him and the repercussions) but if even ONE more attack happens on American soil while he was spending hundreds of billions on a country not even in the running for #1 threat and the attack comes from the Saudi's again or another more pressing threat then he deserves to be violently and humiliatingly removed from office.

1. The American government supported Saddam when he was gassing his own people.

2. Saddam was a U.S ally when he was at his worst in the 1980s.

3. The US trained and created Osama Bin Laden.

3. The US is training Latin American TERRORIST RIGHT NOW in Georgia!

The USA will go after whatever org or country...based upon many factors...that it deems to be viable...and will do so on its own time table. The reasons for taking Iraq are multiple...not the least of which (in my opinion) is strategic positioning...if we manage to stabalize Iraq (debatable) we are in a strategic position (in more than one way) to deal with the rest of the entire mideast...if need be...and I think it is probable that the need will arise.

Israel another support state has an equally bad human rights record, and clearly has WMDs. Russia and China could probably come up with a reasonable enough argument to pre-emptively attack.

It is historical fact that the powerful...make the rules...and are free to define the terminology.

Anti terrorism is a part of the equation...and for the record your belief is my belief and if you recall I stated that prior to the invasion. There is not...nor was there ever...a single reason or two or three reasons...but instead multiple reasons...for the invasion of Iraq...and the reasons do not bear equal importance.

I am not digging on anybody that is posting, the world is full of opinions and the "profile" states what you want it to state. If you want to argue points then you should be at least willing to qualify yourself. I for one get pissed when I see the hate USA post and am fairly conservative by nature although I voted for Al Gore for president, not because I thought he would be a good president but only becuase the writing was on the wall for at least 12 months prior that the economy was going to go to shit and I didn't want a republican to be blamed for our "over indulgence" of the '90s and I honestly didn't think Bush was that bright which may or may not be true.

Also, the countries may not like us, but they damn sure need us. Talking about the trade agreements, every country out there wants their ships pointed toward the US with their products on board. That my friends is a fact!!!

Yet you opt to run your yap on a webmaster board about things that you read and wouldn't know for sure about if it ran upside your head. __________________ <center><a target="_blank" href="http://dev.datedollars.com/index.php?s=signup&aid=535&cfg=aac"><img border="0" src="http://216.130.172.224/gfy/gsig.gif" width="490" height="100"></a><br><a href="http://dev.datedollars.com/index.php?s=signup&aid=535&cfg=aac" target="_blank"><b><font face="Arial"><font color="#FF99FF"> Buy me away from Slavedriver Smokey!<br>It's May Sig Sweeps!<font></b></center>

I know one day soon their children will be able to ride bikes in the streets and play with other children. LOL. Oh God, the ignorance. Who told you they couldn't ride bikes and play with other children? The only time Saddam killed them was when they went against his politics. You people are so vulnerable.

You know, those things that Powell said at the UN that he knew where they were... and that needed to be taken care of right now... Now that was funny. I think it's pretty interesting how the Bush supporters completely forgot about the REAL reasons he gave to start this war in the first place. War is not like a splinter in your toe, or taking it up the ass for the first time. War is War. Cot Darnit! War is terror. Just imagine you sitting in your house and every seconds you hear gun fire, not knowing when that shit is going to hit you. So, if none of the reasons he gave turned out to be true, then why the HELL are some of you still supporting this idiot?

They are often not dumb, but bound up in this cloak of righteousness and "superiority", come from West Virginia and ain't got one clue as to what may have happened in the next state - nevermind a foreign (that means being one of "them") country.. Yep, they are blinded by patriotism. It's also called cultural brainwashing. I'd accept this type of ignorance from an under-developed country, but not no big huge developed country like America. I mean shit, put those books to use. Engage in some independent thinking and stay away from Fox News for a bit. I guess Bush has to actually blow up the world for these peopel to realize that he's no good.

I read a lot of these threads wondering why nobody ever qualifies themselves before the project a strong opinion, so please lemme know. Are you a well traveled 30 to 40 y/o who looks at issues from both sides of the fence or are you some 20 y/o sitting behind a computer all day that "actually thinks" they know all of what is going on in the world! no offense, just curious

Israel another support state has an equally bad human rights record, and clearly has WMDs. Russia and China could probably come up with a reasonable enough argument to pre-emptively attack.

If you want to argue points then you should be at least willing to qualify yourself. I for one get pissed when I see the hate USA post and am fairly conservative by nature although I voted for Al Gore for president, not because I thought he would be a good president but only becuase the writing was on the wall for at least 12 months prior that the economy was going to go to shit and I didn't want a republican to be blamed for our "over indulgence" of the '90s and I honestly didn't think Bush was that bright which may or may not be true. Also, the countries may not like us, but they damn sure need us. Talking about the trade agreements, every country out there wants their ships pointed toward the US with their products on board. That my friends is a fact!!!
