You tell Senator Inoue he is not interested in the security of the American people. You tell those who fought in Vietnam and in World War II they are not interested in the security of the American people. That is outrageous--outrageous.

 Men who wrap themselves up in the flag, make me raise an eyebrow.  Men who wrap themselves up in the sacrifices of other men (combat veterans), are jack offs.  Daschel falls into this category.

Whatever the agenda, Daschle was wrong to say what he did (based as it was on a misquote from the Washington Post). Funny thing is he appears to be doing exactly what he is accusing the president of doing. Even funnier is how the administration offered a graceful way out for him, but he refuses.

OK, the administration wants war. Bush, of course 'has not made a decision', which is political-talk which roughly translated means 'I want to give the impression than I am open to suggestions but unless something huge comes out that might put me out of office, I won't change my mind'.

I mean, they talk together, Rumsfield, Cheney and Bush. It's near certain that they share the very same view on what needs to be done, only Bush has to word it a bit differently in order to keep a fire escape door open.

Be that as it may (notice that I haven't anything about whether a war against Iraq is a good or bad thing), we've seen quite a deal of argumentation about the reasons for the war. The Bush administrations as well as the Blair one has come up with some dossiers. While it is certainly frightening to read and very likely to be true, there's little hard evidence. What exists is indirect evidence.

Since we're now one big global community (eat THAT, anti-globalisation morons), this probably isn't enough if the war is to be said to be fought out of a need for 'international security' - I mean the world should be seen as one dude per country in a sort of weighted democratic system.

I say get some guns and planes down there, then get the inspectors in. If Saddam tries do do ANYTHING to stop the inspectors then turn his regime into a regime of very dry, dead men and his army into something assembling the one we have here in Denmark :D.

On the other hand, if it turns out that it's Bush holding his fathers grudge and regrets, then it's proper to stop at just killing off the regime. One country with an army like the one here is enough. Don't need two bad examples :D.

This is by far the best quote from this thread:

Quote
All I can say is this...you do nothing, YOU live with blood on your conscience...not me.


So, Ripsnort, what are you going to do apart from sit on your arse and watch the fireworks on CNN? Come on here and brag extra hard about how you're flying you're extra snappy flag, pretending that doing so in some way supports 'our boys over there'?

You're killing me, you really are.

A pre-emptive attack is ludicrous. Get the inspectors in - like stsanta says - if they are obstructed in the slightest way, then attack. Job's a good 'un.

It just has got to be true that Saddam Hussein is the absolute worst threat to mankind because the US govt and media say so.
(Hook, line, and sinker) Sad, really.

Notice now some reports that there might be a terror cell in Iran.
Hmmm I sense a pattern here.

After the US and England take over Iraq (installing our approved Iraqi 'Freedom and Liberty loving' Dictator), we'll go after Iran next. Why? Because Iran will then become the number one threat to world peace of freedom loving peoples everywhere! (It's just gotta be true I tell ya! Hook, line, and sinker.)

Hmmm, gotta love them oil profits!

I wonder how many US and English (possibly Canadian) lives will be lost in this next war? The many innocent civillians (I can bet much higher casualties than the servicemen) of the nations we'll be attacking? The only 'crime' those civilians are guilty of is living in those countries.

Want to see the sabre rattling by the US stop? Just give every policy making politician and their supporters a rifle and have them lead the charge into Iraq. Heck, I'd support that invasion with my tax dollars. ;)

Too many stupid, greedy people in important policy making decisions. Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy is not what we want for others, just ourselves. We want the right to go into other nations that we can bully around to do our bidding for our business interests. Not just limiting this to the present administration either.

First of all the UN is a disadvantage as well as an advantage in dealing with worldy matters. The UN itself as a whole has its own weaknesses and thus its own priorities and needs, naturally. The US uses it to aquire mandates to facilitate its own foreign policies that it sees is best towards long term national security. Dont tell me you have even a clue that is remotely near the truth. In the scale of things and analogy would be a ten year olds conclusion being held up to a in comparison to a babling 20 year olds better conclusion. I highly doubt that as most normal civilians know far from the truth of the nations steering system. I take what most people say and throw it all into the same basket of 2cent opinions next to the backet of 0 cent opinions. Give me a break, they (the leaders of this world) have just as much ability in screwing the future up as they do in making it better. Before you ask someone how they can support a war effort or troops overseas, have you asked yourself that same question?

Alot of people watch the news and form opinions, some stronger than others. Thats nothing special.

never be a pe attack. only words to force bighead saddams hand. No one else in the world community seems to get a crap he's not sticking to his surrender words ... we didn't til we had an admin change & threw out the perv.

The US just ain't gonna wait on the UN to make something happen as they sat on their hands when they threw out the inspectors in 98. They've had 4 years to get them back in. Now we'll do it our way ....

Well eagler, looks like you got the ingredients for a perfect war. You woudlnt happen to be anywhere near Iraq when the bullets and bombs start going off will you? Whens the last time you got hurt, remember or even know whats its like to have an arm blown off. Its not your arm, is somebody elses. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet you will be glued to a TV set with a cold on in your hand. Too easy to back up that kinda crap.

BTW: Hope to meet you at a con in the future someday.
