Rallying the Nation: Support for War Spikes as Bush Sets a Deadline

" ABC NEWS"

Last week, Peter Jennings said that the US was bound and determined to " impose it's will " on Iraq. And "if Tony Blair gets his way" on Iraq, making him sound like a little kid throwing a tantrum. It's pretty obvious that the terrorists watch ABC and CNN-which is why they think all Americans are whiners like Daschle and hate the President and military.

The silver lining to the extremely high tension we've all been experiencing the past few weeks. The UN has been unveiled, and few still believe there's some type of diplomatic solution. And the UN has been unveiled. And most of the public backs the president's position on Iraq....and the UN has been unveiled. Heheheh.

"They represent about 1% of the population and about 3% of Free Republic. Yesterday, they were still posting that they wouldn't vote for President GW for the way he has handled this situation. They sound like teenagers when their parents ask them to be normal humans."

We will always have a little fringe group of hateful whiners, who actually hate themselves more than anyone else.

I thank them for sharing their fantasies from the twilight zone and for the chuckles.
I just refuse to share their misery with them.

It's time to bomb Saddam!

Let's Roll!

"Was this ABC News report accurate? Anyone know more about this?"

We left the Kurds hanging last time around - to our undying shame. It's been reported rather extensively on this forum in recent weeks. The Kurds ARE concerned the Turkish military will attack them. The US is aware of that very real fear.

US refused to play ball with Turkish demands regarding Iraq this time around. Especially the parts about Turkish troop participation :fears the Turks would go after the Kurds, the US would have to turn on the Turks to save the Kurds - a war within a war - and Turkish 'participation' in a post Saddam government (again, legitimate concern for the Kurds)

As a result, Turkey refused access to their airspace and are pretty much off the field this time around. Turkey still plans to put troops on the border and promises to go no deeper into Northern Iraq than 20 miles. Turkey has it's own concernes about protecting it's borders. Still, the situation is very understandably tense.

"Of course none of them voted for him in the first place."

Absolutely right!
