Are you kidding? How about thousands of dead and wounded Iraqis.

Well, I know one isn't Kadaffi, he's been trying to make friends with the west of years now. I don't know who the other is, unless you mean the Syrians. If I was a dictator I would be breathing a sigh of relief right now. Bush pissed away an amazing amount of support for the US over this. Do you honestly think that the US people, your Congress and the international community would give any support what-so-ever to another war? I don't think so.

I'm gonna totally mangle another analogy or metaphor or, damn, I mangled the thing I am mangling.

How does it go? Better the devil you know than the devil you don't?

Fuggit, something like that. And it answers your question.

NUKE · « **Reply #64 on:** May 19, 2004, 01:39:23 AM »

no one can make a rational argument that states the invasion of Iraq was a bad event. I want someone to list the things they feel are bad about the invasion of Iraq.

I'ts a simple question

Nash · « **Reply #65 on:** May 19, 2004, 01:40:28 AM »

Folks are dying for nothing.

Hows that?

NUKE · « **Reply #66 on:** May 19, 2004, 01:42:55 AM »

Folks in Iraq under Saddam where dying for nothing.

List the bad things about the invasion of Iraq.

Nash, you are a smart guy.... I would think you could realise your lack of a response might tell you something

Jesus Nuke....

You lot want to save the poor wittle Iraqis while at the same time condemn their backwards arses for not speaking up against beheadings.

IT'S shreckING BEDLAM OVER THERE. IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR OVER A CENTURY.

You gotta be all hopped up on goofballs to think yer gonna wander into it and make it all cozy.

Cuz you aint. Cuz you can't.

You had 'em contained. shreck.

At least for the most part it's what everyone believed. But now the veil is comin' down harsh off of that little fantasy. Bahhh wtg.

p.s. I love you anyway

Nuke, I listed two things. Neat trick just ignoring one but I don't think anyone is going to buy it.

As to my first point.

"compaired to 400k Iraqis killed by Saddam?"

Because SH killed 400K the US killing over 10K (and that's just civilians) is a fine?

Let me make this simple for you. Do you think that the US military is a good thing or a bad thing, no equivocation please.

Dare I bring up the fact that an estimated 1,000,000 Iraqis died as a result of poor drinking water during the 90's? The reason that they had poor drinking water is because during the Gulf War the US government decided to destroy Iraqi electrical power generation infrastructure, knowing that this would lead to hundreds of thousands of deaths. When it comes to killing Iraqis the US makes SH look like an amature.

Now a third point. The war has cost the US well over $100,000,000,000. Money that the US doesn't have.

Mr Powell obviously needs a link to the Ah BBS!!

I don't think option 4 is an option. If it happens, that's the end of the US as a world power. Now, being at heart an isolationist, that'd actually be fine by me. I just think even the most foolish of the pols in DC realize that and won't accept it.

So, it's fantasy-land to expect them to act like responsible leaders of their followers?

Wonder where that leads?

Mainly they destroyed it knowing it would save a lot of Coalition troopers' lives. No electricity, no "modern warfare capability" for the Iraqis. The C3 function goes away. It's this war thing, where you try to save your soldiers' lives.

Secondly, this is purest BS:

What's worse is you know it too and posted it anyway.
