In fact, Manajid says, if he were not playing soccer he would "for sure" be fighting as part of the resistance."

Maybe we should arrest him as soon as he gets off the plan in bagdhad

Right, lets see.

Saddam:

Looks at watch. Damn, it's allready lunch time and I havent even killed a dozen people today. Hey Ali, call over Uday.   Uday, my son!  Go to Najaf with your bodygards and rape some random women and put their husbands alive feet first trhrough meat grinders.

US Soldiers:

Damn, it's almost noon, its real hot. OH **** RPG FIRE!!!  
BOOM.  Raises M16 and shoots the RPG gunner.  

Yes our soldiers are just like Saddam and his gang, the poor Iraq's just have no say whther they get shot at bu usa soldiers, just like with saddam.

Well, that would be like Saddam invading America and shooting MT and Sandman and RPMhat, and then, a bunch of Deisel Dike Liberals would get pissed and bomb Saddams troops.

I hope we put up more of a fight than the Iraqi's!

Its kind of funny that Bush still thinks that Iraqis love him..
But not as funny as Canada lettting a guy carry the flag in the opening cerimonys that wants to break up Canada.

That poor guy that mentioned that he wants to be an insurgent..Off to abu gaby prison with him when he gets home.

Just making sure..Excellent debating tactic.  . I suppose its the norm..

You could have asked before showing ignorance..

Fact: I dont wrong US troops for defending themselfs no more than I wrong the Iraqis for viewing the Americans as invaders and attempting to defend themselfs too..  

Fact: I wrong our president for sending them there..

Do you think that the average Iraqi is more against Saddam or America?

Who are we to explain the average Iraqi how to live his life when he lacks the initiative to take his own destiny in hand?

Just for clarification to you, I support our troops as I can..  I do not support the reasoning behind us being there..

When you can explain to me the difference in an unwanted army in Iraqi compared to an unwanted army in Quwait(sp), perhaps my view will be cleared.. 8)

John Kerry will protect us!

You know what, I've chanmged my  ind big time about this guy. He was a real war hero, practically Hercules reincarnated.  In fact I think he could could take all the VC on by himself, bare handed and win.

Thats why, as a USA Senator,  he always voted against all those useless weapons like M1 Abrams tanks and F15 fighters, real soldiers, real heros like John Kerry dont need that garbage.  

Pongo they had a french canadian carry ur flag?  If so, maybe it was like the Korean olympic team, you know two countries - vastly different and at odds with each  - but marching as one olympic team as a sign of goodwill.

Amazing, now he is comparing our mission in Iraq to Saddam's brutal conquest of Kuwait in 1990...

Why do you care Grun.. you don't vote.

OK, that's better, sorry for the insult.  I don't think we should have invaded Iraq either.  But it's too late for that.
The difference between Iraq in Kuwait and the US in Iraq is qualitative.  Iraq attempted to seize the Kuwait oil industry and its revenues.  America is attempting to rebuild the Iraqi oil industry so that the people of Iraq may use the revenues to provide a better future for their nation.  Iraqis murdered, raped, and pillaged in Kuwait, while Americans in Iraq are rebuilding infrastructure, educating, providing health care, and creating a framework whereby Iraqis can choose their own leaders for the first time in a few generations.

I read somewhere that Saddam was said to be the stabilizing force in the region, especially within Iraq. Not from respect, but from fear.

I have a feeling we're heading down the road to find out how much of a stabilizing force he was, and I don't think its going to be a fun ride.

I dont vote because the candidates like John Kerry, who accomplished nothing in 20 years as a Senator, are not worth my time. We should have better ones, I'll vot for them.

You guys can not understand their feelings? Those people are suppose to welcome a foreign army whilst their families are killed?

Honestly, if the situation was turned 180 degrees, we as americans, would support the invading army?

Perhaps they'd like to go back to working for Uday Husain.......I heard he treated them well.  Score a goal and 4 less hours of torture.
