I was against the first war with Iraq
Oh, this will just be TOO easy
Kuwait WAS part of Iraq until the British cut it away in the 20's so that Iraq wouldn't have so much oil.
Texas was part of Mexico... wanna try and give it back?
We DID say it would be none of our business if he invaded. Then WE betrayed him and went to war.
"We betrayed Saddam"... uh-huh. How DARE we rescue the murdered non-combatants of Kuwait when they and their government ask for it!!! We're SO vile!
It was a stupid, unjust war and we had no business being there.
Stupid of Saddam to think he would win, yes. "Mother of all Battles"... Hah!
Unjust? When Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UN asked us to help out a sovereign nation that has been invade by an aggressor nation whose military is over one-hundred times bigger than theirs? You're hilarious!
I am against THIS war with Iraq. Iraq is not a threat to us. We destroyed their wmd
The problem, dolt, is that we haven't been able to confirm this for 11 years (we CREATED the entire arena of nuclear weapon science in less than FIVE... copying it in ELEVEN, when the theory and engineering are available in books around the world is hardly unlikely), and we have several escaped Iraqi weapons scientists who say he IS rebuilding his weapons. (Man, this is like shooting fish in a barrel... after they've been tied up.)
and if they do have any the amount isn't enough to hurt anyone but rebels in Iraq.
So it's okay to use WMD's against those who no longer want to be represented by a dictator? You supported China in the Tianenmen Square massacre? You would've supported indiscriminate mass-murder in the Colonies? You know, you've been saying some anti-government things here... maybe your home should get a healthy dose of VX nerve gas. I'm sure you'd agree that it's okay.
Yall do know that those 40? villages were rebels, don't you? They were trying to break away from Iraq. I would have gassed them too. Saves on troops and eliminates rebels nicely. Those people he gassed were not just innocent villagers going about their daily lives. Well, some of them were, but their friends and neighbors were hiding rebels.
I'm speechless. Others may ask for you to be banned. I'm hoping you'll suffer far worse fates.
We have no excuse to destroy Iraq.
We're not destroying the nation, dolt, we're removing a ruthless dictator.
All that will happen is we will just piss off more muslims and create a larger terrorist base to worry about.
So you're a coward, too? Not surprising. If Muslims want a war, let them bring it. Heck, they have been for over a decade. Unfortunately, we have to suffer worms like you and droberts who are so terrified of them, that they will not give them any reason to stop attacking.
Just because a texan is ordering the murders doesn't make them right. The blood of 500,000 more humans who did NOTHING to us will be on your hands and mine.
There won't be 500,000 dead, liar. The last time we were at war there, we took in FAR more surrendering soldiers than we killed... and they were better-fed, better-treated, and safer with our troops than under their commanders.
My hands are bloody enough after all the killing done in mine and your names in the last 13 years. Iraqi, Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, Haiti, Panama, the list goes on and on. So many dead for no good reason.
Thank Clinton for most of that. (You forgot Somalia, by the way.) I also don't know how many dead are in Panama, but it's probably less than the American lives lost making their nation meaningful. As for that "blood on your hands", try Lava soap. It gets out all sorts of dirt. Scrub under those nails really hard, too.
As for "no good reason", if you don't think that removing entrenched dictators, who the citizenry have no chance of removing in their lifetime, is a good reason, then you must not care about their lives as much as you profess. Of course, you think gassing them and their children is just fine, so I guess we know where you stand... a dictator murdering innocents to keep them subservient is fine, but the U.S accidentally killing innocents in an effort to rid them of that dictator is evil. Gotchya.
When will it end? What will it take?
ROFL. I really wish I could hear your high-pitched effiminate voice as you say that like a bad high-school actor.
Let me type this really slowly, so you might have some hope of comprehension... there will never be an end to war, and I am glad for it. If war does not exist, that means that differences of opinion, means of self-defense, and emotions (like love, envy and pride) no longer exist or are fully controlled by the state. You cowardly liberals may pray for that kind of slavery, but I do not.
How many must die for some politician's whim? Must we make enemies of everyone on Earth? The reason we were attacked on 911 is because the US would not butt out of other country's business. Our troops in Saudi Arabia have been an extreme sore spot for muslims for a long time.
The enemies of those who want to protect people are the right enemies to have. Muslims are enraged because we don't let them kill their favorite victims, the Jews. We feel some protective feelings towards them, since we freed them from Hitler's death camps, we gave them a homeland surrounded by 20 military and theocratic dictatorships dedicated to continuing Hitler's work, and we believe that people should not be slaughtered for their faith in the Almighty. If those who would do those things are NOT our enemies, THEN we'll know we're really doing something wrong out there. Pulling our troops out of Saudi Arabia would do nothing to abate their steaming hatred, which is planted, formed, encouraged, reaped, and sown in the Muslim madrassas around the world. You might as well say that doing hand-stands on Wednesdays would make them love us.
If the USA would do as our founding fathers told us to do and avoid these stupid foreign entanglements we would not be the pariah of the world we are now. I support our troops. I want ALL of the home and most of them deployed on our southern border.
True... but a bit late at this point. Also, since you're whining about "blood on your hands", you do realize that the moment we stop defending, supplying, and supporting South Korea, Taiwan, Israel, Kuwait, and others, millions will die in the quick-strike wars that will ensue.
Iraq has done nothing but defend itself from the US for the last decade+. So we are intent on killing thousands them.
You seem to lack the candle-power to understand that Iraq is not Saddam, and vice-versa. Clinton had the same disease. Every time he said something would be good for "the American people", he really meant it would be good for Clinton. The Lewinski scandal he said was "bad for America", when really, it was just bad for him. Do you have the same ultra-ego as he does? (See below, all)
Mexico is invading like the albanians did in Yugoslavia. Look at Kosovo. Used to be 90% serbian. 15 years later it is 90% albanian. I wonder that the US will look like in 20 years? Not hopefull about Bush doing anything about that REAL threat to the US.
Hey, you DO have two synapses connecting up there somewhere! Yes, it will probably take the actions of American citizens to get federal attention (just like the doctor strikes in WV, PA, and FL). Good call.
North Korea just stated that they DO have wmd and WILL use them on the US if we do not lift economic sanctions against them. Is Bush sending aircraft carriers to NK? Nope. A REAL threat, from a REAL insane dictator. Millions in the US could die. One atom bomb on LA or Hawaii and 911 will look like nothing. So Bush says that we need diplomacy.
In case you hadn't noticed, when we have severe differences with nuclear-capable nations, we opt for diplomacy and "Cold War", rather than world-wide destruction (of the kind you were just wimpering about, oddly enough). Iraq, in violation of non-prolifeariton treaties, is on the verge of such weapons (as their own administation has recently announced), but does not have them yet. That's the perfect reason to use military force. North Korea, with nuclear missiles in their arsenal, and world-power China backing them, need to be handled more delicately. Of course, you're astronomically idiotic enough to say that we should attack nuclear powers, and not stand in the way of mass-murderers who are trying to get nuclear weapons. ROFL. Now THAT'S a nice recipe for national (and global) suicide.
Despite my utter disdain for war, NK has threatened the US and is capable of doing real damage. War may be the only option to stop that damage from happening. Bush does nothing.
ROFLMBO!!! North Korea is acting DESPITE YOUR DISDAIN FOR WAR?!?!?!? My, my, my, aren't WE the important little world citizen? Tell us, what advice is Russia asking for from you regarding Chechnya? Or are they acting despite your demands there, as well?
So we have a president who will kill innocents when they are no threat to us because it is easy.
*Sigh* We're targeting ONE man. We're encouraging EVERY other option, we're encouraging the people of Iraq, Saddam's officers, the UN, and everyone else to get rid of him so we don't have to. If we have to, we're making sure to limit "collateral damage" as much as possible for everyone involved. Of course, facts, history, diplomacy, and reason are wasted on trolls like you. I'm mostly posting this for any who might lack the brain cells to see that you're a fool.
But will not defend against the real, possibly devastating threats from invasion or atomic attack. And all you people support him. Makes me sorry I voted for him.
LOL, suuuure you voted for him. Uh-huh.
