Post by: GRUNHERZ on May 12, 2003, 01:19:14 AM: It was announced a while ago ago that the plan for Garner was to be the head guy for only a few months.. The woman's move was also expected.

Hey look Pongo you are wrong - just admit and it and move on...

But dont worry Pongo utter defeat of the infidel mercenary invaders is only moments away.. :rolleyes:

Post by: Dowding on May 12, 2003, 03:59:00 AM: Where is this announcement saying Garner would only be there for a couple of months? I'd like the report to have a date on it that pre-dates the end of the conflict or comes just after it's end - i.e. not in the last couple of weeks. Thanks.

Post by: majic on May 12, 2003, 08:15:34 AM: Okay. We'll be sure in the future to have the Administration check in with you guys before we make any more moves.

Post by: Rude on May 12, 2003, 09:12:46 AM: I'm glad to see whatever action will get results....I know our failure in Iraq would please many of you, but you might just give us a bit of time before celebrating:)

Post by: Dowding on May 12, 2003, 09:15:58 AM: So you foresee failure?

I'd just like to see Grunherz' sources regarding the length of stay of Garner and co. I'm sure he has sources detailing this very issue to make the assertions he's made. That ok with you Rude? Thanks.

Post by: Pongo on May 12, 2003, 10:08:08 AM: So no more talk about Iraq then Toad?
GH your still a nut case.
The place could be nuked to glass and you would define it as success. There is nothing that can happen that can push you off the party line.

Why do you think that?

Post by: Martlet on May 12, 2003, 11:33:14 AM: Waaaaaaah.

I can't believe you guys are still whining about Iraq. Get over it. You, and your governments, will accept whatever we decide to do there. You have no choice.

Continue exercising your right to cry about it, though.

As to what is ok with me? What I've thought has never stopped you from spouting...why ask now?

BTW...do you fly in the game anymore dowding?

Post by: GRUNHERZ on May 12, 2003, 11:49:44 AM: Rude you are right, anything the USA does is and always will be wrong to these USA haters. If we pull out of Iraq we will be abandoing them, if we stay in iraq we are imperialist occupiers. If we did not go to war with iraq then we were wrong because sanctions are killing iraqi kids. If we did not give hans blix enogh time then we were evil.

These are people who just plain dont like and resnt the USA - thats obvious....

Post by: Maniac on May 12, 2003, 12:07:37 PM: I read in the news today that your running out of sites to inspect in Iraq...

Djust to reflect your Hans Blix comment...

Really? Which news? Would you mind posting a link to it?

Post by: Maniac on May 12, 2003, 12:20:40 PM: Here you go (http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,2789,304332,00.html)

Have an good time reading that LOL!

Before you have to say it yourself.... Yes i know only AMERICAN MEDIA counts...

That article also states that the American inspection teams are doing their inspections without even people who can speak Iraqi (translators)...

Post by: Martlet on May 12, 2003, 12:23:34 PM: Typical. I'm not the least bit surprised. If you can't prove your point, dazzle them with crap they can't understand.

It's obvious you don't have the facts to back up your whining.

Post by: Maniac on May 12, 2003, 12:26:41 PM: The proof you wanted is right there in the link, if you want to read it, then get someone to translate it to you.

Im very very very sorry that the Swedish native language is not English. I apologize very very much for this!

:rolleyes:

This BBC article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3018063.stm) is reporting the same, as is the Washington post, apparently. Also interesting is this:

Quote
The 75th Exploitation Task Force is dismantling its operations for a likely departure in June, says the newspaper, after the group failed to find any biological and chemical weapons.

Members of the team told the newspaper that they no longer expected to find such stocks, and that they had consistently found targets identified by Washington to be inaccurate, or to have been looted and burned.

But we liberated the Iraqis, you ungrateful ****s! I mean, that's why we went there, right?

Post by: Dowding on May 12, 2003, 03:05:59 PM: Sorry Rude. I was just playing up to your illusions of grandeur. Not that people failing to do that has ever stopped you from (s)pouting. We all remember your days of refering to yourself in the third person like the kings of antiquity (and the nut-cases of modernity).

As for playing AH - I just play scenarios and SO (when it runs). The MA doesn't hold much interest after all this time. Sooo... what's that got to do with anything? Don't like what I say so question my right to say it?

Post by: Sandman on May 12, 2003, 06:57:23 PM: Let's see... they're expecting an administrator that answers to Rumsfield to install a government.

Okay...

Here... take a hit... this is some good ****.

I dont think Hans Blix want to run the country, I think he wants to take part in the inspections... If his teams were an part of the inspections maybe some of the burned out and looted sites would have been inspected before they were burned and looted.. Is that an bad thing?

Oh, and Hans Blix and his teams had translators with them! wow!

Why return a job to the guy that couldn't do it right the first time? He had 12 years to inspect the sites that were looted and burned, now you expect me to believe he could have finished the job with an additional 3 weeks?

Why do you say he couldnt do it right the first time? how many WMD´s have the Americans found?

None. We've found tons of stuff the inspectors couldn't, though, including mobile labs.

Because you have demonstrated it in every post you have ever made. Your as brain washed as they come.

Oh well. No weapons of mass destruction. I wont bother linking in all the posts by people here that insisted that was a great justification for invasion.
As to some of us sitting arround waiting for what we fortold to come to fruition. Well most of us were wrong about the ease with which the US would defeat the Iraqis. Most of us admited it like men.
Some of you could learn from that, when the parts we were right about prove true.

Missiles, exceeding allowed range.
Several mobile labs.
warheads that are chemical capable.
underground labs.
etc etc.

Now that thats been taken care of, perhaps youd be good enough to explain to me why Mr. Blix and his posse failed to disarm Iraq after 12 years of inspections?

I think you fancy yourself as to much of a deep thinker....my question was simple...just wondered if you ever played AH...haven't seen you up in a long time.

Don't worry my young little pal....as you age and mature, you'll calm down a bit... just remember, not all of your assumptions and opinions carry the weight you think they do....remember, Rude loves ya:)
