That time. Traumatized the hell outta the place too.

I'm not to hot on the concept of givin the other team a 'do-over'. It's a pretty cool burg and I don't want 'em tinkering with the skyline anymore, 'k?

Ah! Yer editing too quick fer me.

Maybe we should try and see past the self righteous haze and ask ourselves why this is not so.

It seems to be the planet thinks the monkey boy's a blithering idiot.  Which is pretty much true.

They've become so anti-cowboy bush they won't even listen to 'that swartzer, Powell".... the only sane guy in the administration 6 days outta 7.

Ask YOURSELF as an american, did Powell lay out a strong enuff case to make the action on Iraq appropriate and just?

The answer for me is yes.. but I watched the entire presentation as well as the french and german rebuttals. IMHO, Powell made the case.

If what your concerned with is the french and german reaction.. ask yourselves why they consider Saddams story is more beliveable than powells... then join those freakin human shield nutcases.

Again.. I'm not looking at this as Bush's war.. it's ours. Saddam has gotsta go! Ida been lots happier having the UN bear a big piece of the occupation costs.. but after what happened here in NY, whats happened abroad since.. nope.. we can't wait for the UN and France and Germany to stop playing Chamberlain.. we gotsta do it now.

Then Korea.

We'll get back to France later.

I hope.

No, in fact the case was extremely weak for me. However Iraq's inability to lie with a straight face or any consistancy (ie the way the change the story every week you get fair idea of what they're up too) made the case for me.

I still can't believe the US didn't get their media pumped up about the new documents regarding the VX that Iraq handed over this week but failed to declare to the UN earlier.

Lemme see... we maybe lose Los Angeles and they definitely lose every living thing North of the 38th parallel.

Is this a joke question?

Our enemies need to check this map from Election 2000. If they eliminate our major cities, have they realized how homogeneous they will have made the US? Do they realize it won't be the hand-wringers that are left to respond to them?

And, on the other side of the coin, do the folks in the blue (target) parts of the map realize that THEY are the targets? Do they realize that diplomacy, rational politics, positive thoughts,  "good vibes", the "age of aquarius" may not be enough to influence the bad guys to leave us alone?

Just some things to consider.

It's funny how delusional you are about using your nuclear force..


If NK chooses to nuke you, it will be extremely hard for you to launch a counterstrike without getting China and possibly Soviet union to the war as a result, all the fallout will scatter all over the region.

That country may be starving, but they're starving because they invested in weapons for over 1 million trained soldiers.. Talk about poor choices.

From another thread:

Initially posted by Hangtime:

Americans are not war-mongers. We're slow to rile, and in fact internationaly it would seem that it's great sport to kidnap americans, rape our women, lie to us, steal from us, default loan after loan.. we do nothing.

Bomb us.. 'sneak attack' us by any means.. we get pissed.

Time after time, we've had to get up from the table and go deal with the jokers and dick smokers that think 'hey.. america is weak.."

It just ain't a good idea to piss us off.

Since Sept 11th, we've been pissed. Slowly, inexolerably we've been gettin our ducks in rows, slowly burning with anger, waiting...

We've watched the developments in Europe with intrest. We're discovering who our friends are.. who's really intrested in eliminating terror, who's being obstructionist, who's supplying whom with what.

If we get slapped with a chemical, biological or dirty nuclear attack we will no doubt leave large glowing craters where we feel the blame belongs.

"Overwhelming retaliation" are the words Washington has used.

I believe those words..

I support them.

I hope they get 'em all.

I think Hang is right.

Some of you, despite your apparent familiarity with us, don't really know us at all.

The face the world will see after a WMD attack on the US will be unrecognizable.

I'll wager North Korea will cease to exist and if Russian and China want some of that action we'll be in a mood to oblige. Of course, we'd rather not; we'll be after the perps. But if others insist, we'll oblige.

Nicest guy I ever knew was out in a bar in central Kansas. He watched two big bullys that were brothers pick on a younger, smaller man.

He tried to talk the situation down with reason and with humor.

One of the bullys asked "Do you want some of this, old man?" and cocked his arm back, making a fist of his hand.

Two punches. The "old man's" first punch, the right hand, literally lifted the first bully out of both shoes, moved him through the air and landed him a few feet away flat on his back with a broken jaw.

The second punch, the left hand, rendered the second brother-bully unconscious.

Then he bought the house a beer and picked up where he left off in the story he'd been telling.

My friend, that "old man", is far more common than the rest of the world appears to think.

Just like Hang's example, he was really slow to rile, he always made himself or allowed himself to be the butt of the jokes to entertain the crowd, he was always wililng to help out a person in need and he always did the best he could at whatever he turned his hand to do.



Believe me, if you think we won't reply in kind and overwhelmingly, you really don't know us.

Just don't say we didn't tell yas.

Are you suggesting that China and Russia would come to the aid of a pariah country that launched an unprovoked nuclear attack against the United States?  I'm curious what you think they would have to gain from such a move, other than the threat of total nuclear annihilation.  What you're arguing doesn't make any rational sense.

Yup, the North Coreas are ahead of the Iraqis, and as the opposite to hiding, they're making a big show out of it, - trying to blackmale other couintries for money with a nuclear threat.
The U.S. would not necessarily have to be their target, - could be Japan or South Korea for that sake.
They have already launched a missile far  into the Pacific, but it is not known whether they could reach all the way to the U.S.
That Kim-whatever is a nut.
