The operation has already long ago turned into liberation of the oppressed people.
It remains to be seen whether this goal will change before completion.

Post by: Rude on April 13, 2003, 08:46:36 AM: They had them all along...just like many of you that predicted hundreds of thousands would die in this war were wrong, you'll be wrong about this as well.

Unlike your capacity to understand the US effort in Iraq and against terror worldwide, the US can walk and chew gum at the same time. I suppose because you are not briefed daily or it's not on your favorite website, the US is only operating in Iraq?

You should just admit that you either have issues with Bush or our country...it's so obvious by the tone and consistency of some players past posts, that you would like to see our efforts fail.....at least I could respect the honesty rather than sit here day in and day out reading your negative criticisms.

Petty and simplistic....I have the feeling it would take a disaster to strike each of you personally for you to show any understanding or empathy towards the US mindset and our efforts to protect ourselves.

Post by: GRUNHERZ on April 13, 2003, 08:51:03 AM: From the article:

What happened apparently was that they broke IAEA seals, which is very unfortunate because those seals are integral to ensuring that nuclear material doesn't get diverted," the expert said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

So thats how the UN and IAEA inspectors were stopping Iraq from distributing and manufacturing WMD - they put stickers on the doors of the places they were stored in. Stickers are "integral" in "ensuring" that the stuff doesnt go anywhere. Just prove how pompus and arrogant these UN beurocrats are...
:rolleyes:

Post by: OIO on April 13, 2003, 09:04:45 AM: "no im rejoiceing in the fact that iraq dosnt have WMD"

Sigh. Some folks are really thickheaded.

Iraq HAS WMD's. They were used against Iran (chem) and against the Iraqui people themselves (kurds? bio/chem?).

It does not matter if Iraq "destroyed" their current arsenal, or hid it away or sold it... they know how to make them and they have the capacity to make them... and worse of all, have the capacity to TEACH others how to do it.

The only true way to "disarm" a rogue dictatorship is to invade and destroy their capacity completely. That means grabbing or killing the scientists involved and removing the infrastructure used to produce such weapons.

IMO, the Coalition is just playing a PR game... would you rather have CNN reporting that the US troops were blowing up factories and kidnapping/killing Iraqui scientists,etc, etc? Or a much more public-friendly "we're liberating them from oppression" slogan?

Make no mistake, Iraq's programme and weapons will be gone after the coalition leaves. Giving the Iraquis their freedom is just a nice side effect.

Post by: Sixpence on April 13, 2003, 09:26:55 AM: Ther real question is if we can't find the weapons....who has them? Did he, knowing war was coming, sell them or hand them over to someone else? He wouldn't leave them laying around for the coalition to find, that's for sure. I think there is something to find, just not sure if it's still in Iraq.

Saddam and his army *was* a weapon of mass destruction.

I feel sorry for those of you who are going to rehash this whole
"do we have a right" to invade the next country that harbors terrorists when you realize this will be an ongoing war.

Buck up.

It was certainly scary to a great percentage of the Iraqi people.

They didn't fall apart in a week, it did take a bit longer. In fact, the war has not officially been stated as being over just yet, so it's still ongoing. France's 44-days until surrendered record may still end up remaining intact.

Didn't our last prez take care of this problem during the last eight years?

Post by: Frogm4n on April 13, 2003, 12:43:36 PM: your right the last president did have the budget balanced. something a republican hasnt done, i what half a decade?

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president,
right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

"who is going to rebuild us after we cant afford to pay for our country schools? Shouldnt we invade idaho or montana by this logic?"

Do they need to be rebuilded or not? If they do, what the hell does a balanced budget have to do with it? Was there any poverty in this country during this balanced budget? If so, how is this possible? After all, the budget was balanced right?

Post by: Frogm4n on April 13, 2003, 01:05:09 PM: i was refering to all the terrorists that live in those states. you know like that compound in waco that we took care of. and like that white all american boy that bombed a federal building a couple years back.

oh and yes, when the government has massive tax cuts and cant afford to give money to the states. the states lose funding and in turn have to raise the state taxes or start cutting programs. of course the pork barrel never is the first to get the axe because thats how they get elected.

Post by: Gyro/T69 on April 13, 2003, 01:12:40 PM: With this statement

"who is going to rebuild us after we cant afford to pay for our country schools? Shouldnt we invade idaho or montana by this logic?"

and

"your right the last president did have the budget balanced. something a republican hasnt done, i what half a decade?"

has to do with

"waco and terrorists that live in those states"

is beyond me.

Post by: Rasker on April 13, 2003, 03:09:57 PM: There were allegations recently of some large shipments trucked to Syria before we manned the border checkpoints. Hmm, if Assad Jr. gives sanctuary to war criminals *and* their contraband WMD, that might convince some major players that grounds exist for "serious consequences" for that regime, or at least exploratory covert action. If Assad is smart he won't get involved in those games, but the same thing applied to Saddam.

While it would have little to do with liberation, I hope we go into Syria and kick the crap out of their government.

If your going to liberate oppresed people at least be consistent about it.

Post by: AKIron on April 13, 2003, 05:32:47 PM: I'd say it's a bit early to draw any conclusions. From the article:

"David Kay, a former IAEA chief nuclear inspector, said Thursday that the teams he oversaw after the 1991 Gulf War (news - web sites) never found an underground site at Tuwaitha despite persistent rumors."

If your posts are serious, you need to stop trying to be smart.

If your posts are a joke, you need to stop trying to be funny.
