War with friggin Iraq

[jon@af]

We are undoubtabley going to go to war with Iraq, nothing new to you folks. After reading this http://news.yahoo.com/fc?tmpl=fc&cid...world&cat=iraq I thought to myself, why can't they show the American people this proof that states beyond a shadow of a doubt that Saddam is going to in the end kill us all? Im not saying you have to release a video or something like that. One photograph would be enough proof for the American people to at least know that Bush isn't just trying to stir up shit cause his daddy couldn't finish something. Now, I am in no way saying that Saddam doesn't have WMD, because im fairly certain he does, but so do a lot of other countries in the world, are we gonna go to war with them too? India tested its nuclear capable rockets recently, better make sure they don't conspire against the US, lets take 'em to war. Im sorry if some who read this may think what I say to be foolish, but that's just my thought.

Ah this topic again. Much like the last war with Iraq, this one will be short and decisive.

Unlike the last war[which followed the invasion of Kuwait] this war is being waged without a shred of evidence to justify it.If the UN weapons inspectors had found a single site of consequence,Bush would have been waving photographs at press conferences and gleefully telling the world.The weapons inspectors have found NOTHING.No doubt there will be the armchair generals who simply claim that that proves the weapons inspectors to be incompetent,but unless the U.S. invades Iraq the xenophobicand ignorant elements of the extreme right will never be satisfied.

So far the inspectors have not found that "smoking gun" they also claim to not have cooperation or information on the whereabouts of weapons that they know about. So their is no hard fast proof yet. AND their is no war being waged yet. So the statement that it is being waged on no evidence is false because their is no war.

holy crap,that's the most naive thing that you have said yet.Why do you think the U.S.is pouring troopd into the Middle East?For a DAMN PICNIC?There's a war being waged already.It hasn't escalated to the invasion stage yet,but George Bush has made it perfectly clear that he intends to invade Iraq regardless.Now in my books,that's a declaration of war.There will begood young men from both sides going home in body bags soon thanks to George W bUSH and his corporate buddies.They want a piece of the Middle East oil industry and they don't care how many lies they have to tell,how much propaganda they have to put out,or how many American soldiers have to die in order to get it.

Congradulations on publishing your own definition book

Its preperations for war. However you said

this war is being waged without a shred of evidence to justify it

YOUR WORDS So I am pointing out that there is no public evidence yet and their is also NO WAR yet. Preperations yes. War No. There is no war being waged already.

Well thanks,I'm in print at last.


I'll be looking for your book on justifiable defence policy next time I visit the library.Might be a bit of a mission to find such a small volume in the fiction section though.

I just love Bush's double standards. "We think Iraq is building WMD but we're not sure so we're going to go to war. We know North Korea has nukes, lets go for a diplomatic solution."

As Oz said, the main thing is oil I reckon. Take Iraq...cheap oil for the US...sell it off to the rest of us...make more money...

Of course, this is all just my opinion. I'm your average boon and about as far from comptetent enough to judge the actions of a world leader (read: global village idiot) as you can get...

Hmmm...you could always just discover 5th gear and drive like a rational, sane person. :finger:

Except that my car gets 17 MPG TOPS, and the FD that i want to get averages around 14, so

Just because its a sports car doesn't mean I drive like a maniac everywhere:finger4:

Ok, so we are deploying troops to the Middle East. Yeah, they are preparations IN CASE we do go to war. Because if things go bad or whatever and our Commander in Chief tells us to go, we left yesterday. That's all it is. A Navy ship is considered to be at war everytime they leave the port. The military needs to be ready to go on a moments notice. Of course, CNN happens to find out when that is before the ones deploy do.
