EXACTLY!

Unfortunately CNN and all the other Media outlets worldwide do in 1 min the same damage a websight will do in a month.

This is one of those rare cases where if the world ignores it, it will go away.

Or these barbarians will find a new way to get our attention.

Maybe crash a plane filled with Plutonioum into a Catholic School.

They need the media to exist.

 Rip, when something is blatantly wrong, it's pretty easy to get us to agree.

Making these videos available on the net may be in poor taste but it certainly aids the enemy no more than dwelling on and posting the pics from Abu Grahib in the newspapers for months. In fact, I think we see cause and effect here.

Iron, we attacked Iraq in 2003.

They had (past tense) the 4th largest army and invaded Kuwait in 1993.

Steve, yes - there hasn't been a release of definitive links to terrorism with Saddam.

So, since there has yet to be "Definitive" links, you believe that Saddam has as much to do w/ terrorism as fire does w/ water?

Actually it was 1990 that Iraq invaded Kuwait SW. To ignore all the events that transpired from then to now is to be ignorant.

Definitive, as in more than "we think"... yes, I could think you're a fudge packer - but that has as much to do with factual as my comparison illustrated.

I didn't. I said Iraq is a mouse. May act ballsy, but a mouse nonetheless. You said it was hardly a mouse based on 13 year old facts that are far removed from current events.

Hasn't it been proven that Saddam paid rewards to the families of Suicide Bombers in Israel?

I believe the amount was $25,000.

There are no current events which are not inextricably tied to historical events.

While he was sitting here comfortably on his all knowing ass, just what exactly were you doing?  

You imply that you were not sitting on your all knowing ass, so what was it?   Oooh, were you a sniper?

That's what the world did to Germany after WWI, not what was going on with Iraq.

Well, Saddam was paying off the families of homicide bombers.  That seems pretty definitive and is an example of ties to terrorism.  Unless, of course,  you don't feel people who detonate explosives in areas crowded w/ civilians to be terrorists
