:mad::mad:

the bush administration is thinking "we get criticized for getting involved, we get criticized for not getting involved... so fuck it"

where is Canada? when people really need them, they are nowhere to be found.

umm, last time i checked the bush administration was in charge of the usa, not some shithole in africa, i know its bad that its happening, but i cant complain that my tax dollars arent being used to fight it.

Where is France, Germany, Japan, etc ............. why always us, US?

Damned if we do ... damned if we don't. What about that tall skinney building in New York? What's their take?

the congo holds no strategic worth as far as global politics is concerned at this moment. as long as they are busy killing eachother and aren't bothering anything else, they aren't a threat to the balance of power as far as the global superpowers are concerned. holding power in the middle east is strategically important for many different reasons at this point in time. until the congo has something to offer the us government isn't going to give a flying fuck. establishing a presence in the congo holds no value in the game of global conquest, so fuck 'em.

where the fuck is al sharpton and jesse james.. they should be crying and doing marches about this shit asap
lol

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Jackson?

where the fuck is sally struthers?

I was just thinking the same thing..

Do you remember some of stories from Suddan Hessian(sp) two sons? Some of those stories are worst.

When is the last time someone sent a thank you letter to Bush thanking him for killing Uday

I have head MORE story than listed.

Atrocities

Uday Hussein was infamous for being a man of depraved cruelty and wanton disregard for human life. A report released on March 20, 2003, by ABC news detailed several allegations against Uday:

* As head of the Iraqi Olympic Committee, Uday oversaw the imprisonment and torture of Iraqi athletes who were deemed not to have performed to expectations. According to widespread reports, torturers beat and caned the soles of the soccer players' feet—inflicting intense pain without leaving visible marks on the rest of their bodies. Uday reportedly kept scorecards with written instructions on how many times each player should be beaten after a poor showing.[3] One defector reported that jailed soccer players were forced to kick a concrete ball after failing to reach the 1994 World Cup finals. Another defector claimed that athletes were dragged through a gravel pit and subsequently immersed in a sewage tank to induce infection in the victims' wounds.[4]
* Uday used devices of torture deriving from the Middle Ages. One of them was a 20 kg (50 lb) black iron mask in which his players were to stand up straight with in the sun for the entire day after having performed poorly in a game (the players would faint after less than an hour and be awakened by kicks of Uday's guards). Another was a pear-shaped iron tool with two handles, similar to a car jack, which he would use to tear a man's anus open.[5]
* A former Uday body double look-alike, Latif Yahia, now living in the West, asserts that Uday was unable to perform sexually without causing pain and drawing blood from his sexual partners. Yahia asserts that Uday had raped numerous women, including a visiting Russian ballerina. Yahia has since released a book, co-authored with Karl Wendl, entitled I Was Saddam's Son.

Other allegations include:

* Kidnapping young Iraqi women from the streets in order to rape them. Uday was known to intrude on parties and otherwise "discover" women whom he would later rape. Time magazine published an article in 2003 detailing his sexual brutality.[6] In one such instance, he ordered a young woman who was walking with her husband, where Uday said her husband was a nobody, despite him wearing a uniform showing him to be a captain in the Iraqi Army. Uday then ordered his men to grab the girl, to which her husband struck Uday in defense of his wife, and was apprehended by Uday's bodyguards. The wife was raped and later murdered, and the husband was sentenced to death for "high treason against Saddam".
* Profligate self-indulgence in an era of widespread privation. When U.S. troops captured his mansion in Baghdad, they found a personal zoo stocked with lions and cheetahs; an underground parking garage for his collection of luxury cars; Cuban cigars inscribed with his name; and millions of dollars worth of fine wines, liquor and heroin. An HIV testing kit was also found among his personal effects.[7]
* Uday's mansion was littered with sexual paraphernalia and decorated with images depicting naked women and prostitutes obtained from internet web pages.[8]
* Usage of an Iron Maiden on persons running foul of him.[9]
* Uday beat an army officer unconscious when the man refused to allow Uday to dance with his wife; the man later died of his injuries. Uday also shot and killed an army officer who failed to salute him.[10]
* Uday purchased or stole approximately 1,200 luxury vehicles, including a Rolls-Royce Corniche valued at over $200,000. Uday is reported to have arrived at a polling station during a referendum on his father's regime in a pink Rolls-Royce.[11]

Can someone summarize what the war in Congo is about? Is it tribal feuds or what?

is there oil in Congo?

Should'nt peeps in the USA be worried about the economy.
Rather than the CONGO.
It wasnt a good week on WallStreet.
Hmmm.....just thinking out loud

lol james, jackson, same difference

Bush doesn't give a shit about women being raped in the US, you think he gives a fuck about some black women on another continent? answer: no.

Both are crooks :thumbsup

Natural resources: petroleum, timber, potash, lead, zinc, uranium, copper, phosphates, natural gas, hydropower.
Exports: $5.996 billion f.o.b: petroleum, lumber, plywood, sugar, cocoa, coffee, diamonds.

Nice Foxnews like spin on things but Congo has jack shit.

Iraq has the world's 3rd largest crude oil reserves.

Congo ranks number....57th.

Natural gas Iraq is tenth Congo ninetieth.

The rest is pocket change too.

2 million Iraqis have died since 2003.

what a shock...no mention on how many troops have died:(
No suprise here on GFY

Nobody cares about africa, they have no decent oil fields.... Last time we tried to bring a bunch of them over here a hundred years or so later we got in big trouble *wink* *wink*

lets go in than.

Good question. If the US takes charge and intervenes somewhere they are evil. If they don't intervene they are evil.

Not to worry though - the mighty Democrats are on their way to save the day.

Anyways the UN was "involved" in Congo:

http://abcnews.go.com/2020/UnitedNat...=489306&page=1

With the UN around who needs enemies?

I bet it's way cheap to vacation there right now.

You're right. Wanna go? :1orglaugh

Wrong.

Occupying the Congo gives us no strategic advantage nor do we profit from it. We do not go to Africa for these reasons. Even though Congo has some oil, it's not enough for us.

$5.9billion is fucking chump change for national exports...

If they had genuinely gone in to help people they wouldn't get critized.

Its the lying and patronizing that is fuckin unbearable.

Fair enough. But why are they the only ones to get criticized for not going in?

Where is France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain, China, Russia?

You don't want him in Iraq --but you DO want him in The Congo?

Where do you draw the line?

Uh, the Western World doesn't care about the Middle of Africa, cause there is no oil there and the Diamonds get exploited to the West without the US getting involved.

Not enough oil in Congo for the US (or anybody else) to worry about them.

It's a very sad situation and it's also very fucked up but why the hell should we (the usa) get involved with women in Africa getting raped? I am sick and tired of this fucking country having to be the babysitter for other parts of the world. We have our own problems to deal with.

there is no oil stronghold or strategic use for the congo

besides they are prob tapped out from the 3 billion dollars in aid they gave israel this year and every year for the next 10 years , a country the size of new jersey

but your government can safely ignore your domestic problems and take their business (and your tax dollars) into fucking with someone else, and the majority of the population will still suck their ass as though they shit honey...

I'm guessing the OP doesn't want him in Iraq nor the Congo. He's simply illustrating the contradiction of the administration of using the pretense of fighting terrorism and tyrannical regimes, and bringing democracy to nations in order to justify launching wars overseas. It's the Iranians that are a potential nuclear threat, not Iraq. It's Afghans that committed the 9/11 atrocities, not Iraq. Why are we in Iraq again? Oh right, they broke some UN resolutions.

How is this the USA's problem? If anything, this is a UN problem.
