Anyone got a link to this game? I'd like to play it, even though it seems to have an antiwar bias.

Don't waste your time.
I've seen it, and it's just a bunch of lamer anti-war, anti-Bush propaganda.

Wow, he forgot to read Der Spiegel and mine anti-American rhetoric from there.

It's got a very antiwar, antiBush bias - but here it is:
Gulf War 2
It also makes some worthy points to ponder, for all its lack of objectivity.

It's not really a game - you just click a couple of buttons that have no effect on the outcome. Total anti-war propaganda.

In other words, it's not truly a game, it's anti-war (anti-US ) propaganda.

I've seen it ... it's not a game, just show potential scenarios ... it does assume worst case in nearly all situations, but it was interesting ... given our "allies" around the world ... I don't have the link ...

I was hoping for a game with at least a nod to the depth of Chris Crawford's geopolitical game from the 80's "Balance of Power." Boy, was I disappointed. I didn't always agree with Crawford's underlying assumptions, but at least you could put forward policies that actually had an effect on the game.

He forgot to put in the part where the simultaneous detonation of hundreds of 2000lb JDAMs in Iraq cause the Earth to crack open, spewing hot lava all over a kennel containing innocent Iraqi-Labrador puppies. When the crack reaches the water, it causes tidal waves which sink our carrier groups in the Med and Persian Gulf. Iraq's biological weapons are released and kill all human life on the planet in 22 days. All of this happens because Dubya wanted to line his pockets with oil money and get revenge for the attempted assassination of his father!
This is the most probable outcome.

This is a projection of the most likely outcome of a new war in the Gulf
Gosh, if he is so good at seeing the future results of a war with Iraq, I wonder why he has not been so good at picking the results of the next PowerBall lottery?

Speaking of Anti-Bush and Anti-War pravda, I held my stomach while watching all of ABC Nightly TV news this evening. For the frist 27 minutes they dished up the usual Bush is bad and the UN and Europe are good garbage, but at the very end of the broadcast some unbiased truth came shining through the liberal brainwashing factory. It was quotes from the current President of Afghanistan. He praised the US military for destroying the grip that the Taliban terrorists had on Afghanistan. When asked if he supported getting rid of Saddam Hussien, he stated that because of the great help the Afghan war was too his people struggling to be free, he feels obligated to free the people of Iraq even though it means draining possible US protection forces from his own country. Dont know how a ray of truth ever got through the anti-US pro-UN progressives at ABC.

The worst case situation is letting this nut job stay in power long enough to get a nuke! This is why we MUST go in NOW!
Sure, alot of the terrorists will be upset; as if they aren't already! However, this is one of the training grounds for them, and a primary supply of funds (which are supposed to feed the Iraqi people).
Ok, been thinking of this for a little while, got to do it. I'm going to try one of the left's strongholds, I'm going to try to write a pro-war poem. I tried once, but it turned into a nursery rhyme. Wish me luck; as a poet I am not - I can't stand the format!

. . . drew his source material from interviews and reports in the Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Times of London, the Guardian newspaper in Britain and the Australian Sunday Herald. Well, is it any wonder all outcomes of the war are disastrous? Gee, I wonder what "the most likely outcome" of appeasement would be in a game designed by Freepers?
To: Forgiven_Sinner
I played the game. What again is the down side? It looks like the Middle East lined up for slaughter. Those that are left won't be able to fight for 25 years. And if they don't go about forming a productive society, the place will be empty in 25 years.
I tried getting a better score by just nuking out of the box, but it wouldn't let me. I'd say it only gets three stars. I liked the outcome but it didn't seem to have enough options for me.

That is not a game.
It is [seriously] written by an anti-war type with PC and coding skills. He lets you start the fight...then builds in every negative response possible [and impossible].
The end result for everyone who participates is something just short of complete and total Worldwide Armeggedon.
Dont waste your Conservative time.

Does it have the Chinese army, lurking nearby, waiting to defend the oil fields and Islam from the invaders?
