President Bush and Colin Powell are sitting in a bar. A guy walks in and asks the bartender, "Isn't that Bush and Powell sitting over there?"
The bartender says, "Yep, that's them."
So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor. What are you guys doing in here?"
Bush says, "We're planning WW III."
And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"
Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Iraqis this time and one blonde with big boobs."
The guy exclaimed, "A blonde with big boobs? Why kill a blonde with big boobs?"
Bush turns to Powell, punches him on the shoulder and says, "See, smart ass? I told you no one would worry about the 140 million Iraqis!"
The bartender says, "Yep, that's them."

aside from the fact that there has been a worse regime in north korea for the last 50 years and the US has done nothing. africa is full of dictators and warlords that make saddam hussein look like anna nicole smith; so don't fucking yammer at me about this altruistic world policemen bullshit, you hole-sucking yes man.
If the USA were to go and "fix" things in North Korea and Africa you would be the first one to jump in and find ulterior motives for the US involvement, slamming them for more human rights violations etc. If you are going to be against violence, stay on your side of the fence or be branded a hypocrite.
There are plenty of causes out there Kyoukan, find one and die for it... please oh and take Forthe with you.
Btw the Anna Nicole Smith statement was irrelevant and frankly stupid.
Perhaps if you had said "...Saddam Hussein look like Jean Chretien"

Go find a Kurd in Iraq and ask them, ooooh wait, gonna be hard, he practiced chemical warfare on them. Perhaps you could note the 10 year war with Iran. Maybe the fact that he randomly shot missiles at Israel during Desert Shield/Storm. How do you think Kuwaiti people feel about his good intentions, hell Saudi Arabia was so afraid they let a bunch of people they hate in to help defend against him.miir wrote:Whether it is for the oil or not Saddam has proven time and time again that he is a threat to peace in the Middle East.
How exactly has Iraq proven itself time and time again?
Bleh, buncha damn hippies
There is a time and place for everything, but standing back and using a line of anything is better than war is not ever a good idea.
Let's look at past examples of inaction.
1. The Catholic Church stance on The Holocaust they knew to be occuring. By failing to stand up they removed the possibility of an earlier end to Hitler, and indirectly allowed the murder of 6 million human beings.
2. Neville Chamberlein's appeasement of Nazi Germany. If England had gone to war with a Germany that had just jumped on Austria, it would have been a Germany with 1/10 the forces trained that it had when it invaded Poland, with none of the new tanks they were developing, and an Air Force that would have allowed France and England to dominate the skies in under a month.
3. By not getting involved, the people of Stalinist Russia, ignored the intentional mass murder of 12 million Ukrainians. If someone had been willing to fight, history could be a good deal different.
4. The US has been criticized for it's "late" entry into WW1 and WW2. It is universally recognized by historians that if the US had given up the "dove" concept earlier both wars would have had their lengths reduced by as much as half. This is especially telling in light of Nazi atrocities, and also in consideration of the fact that the Influenza Epidemic that killed 25 million people in 1916-1919 got it's intial foothold in the trenchlines.
5. The end of Desert Storm. The early end was pushed so as not to make people cry about brutality when it became apparant that we were grinding Saddam's million man army into the sand. If the UN forces had been given another 24 hours, we would not face the issue now.
All it takes for evil to spread is people too fearful to take a stand.

Hey if we're gonna set the world to rights sign me up. But let's apply it evenly and fairly and without prejudice k?All it takes for evil to spread is people too fearful to take a stand
Oh no that would be too much effort.
NM then.
Show me one piece of evidence that Iraq is making/hording weapons of mass destruction and i'll back a war against him.
Still too much effort?
Looks like it.
Rumsfeld's comments about the lack of evidence being proof that said evidence is just being hidden too well are hilarious. And revealing.
Anyway carry on.

But "evil" is only defined by those in power. Evil is also a matter of perspective. The USA has had no qualms about using chemical agents or worse in many of our wars against our enemies. People in power define who is the enemy, who is evil, and when it is ok to commit wrongful acts. I do not trust the current people who are in power in Washington DC. I choose not to believe thier defintion and follow the path they are driving the masses down. Look to other countries' opinions, who have people just as smart and informed as America, and you'll see OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS of conflict. That conflict is there for a reason.
So you think that Saddam will start producing Shirley Temple flicks and dancing in the daisies, if we all just leave him alone?

The point being that none of those events have happened in the past 12 years.
Since Iraq is no longer a threat in the middle east, why is Bush threatening to invade them?

Given the available information I think Hussein will die of old age and cancer before he is any kind of threat to anyone more than a stone's throw from Baghdad again.

Shaerra, your police analogy doesn't hold water for 2 reasons. 1) we are NOT the police of the world. 2) Kyou's point was that the US uses the "we are the watchdog of the world" card when it's convenient. There is NO consistancy.

that's naive Kylere. The US never involves themselves unless there is a vested economic interest, regardless of what cracker is in the white house. I don't believe for a SECOND that the US government gives two shits about human rights in other countries, but they like to fill their propaganda with a lot of crusading, God-fearing jargon.
Edit: and our govt does NOT change that much every 4 years. Sadly, it doesn't change at all.

There was a reference to those 'liberals' who had the nerve to enact laws that prohibits the US from directly assassinating a nation's leader (shucks Osama, no loophole for you). So now the US trains and funds a small group from that nation and then pulls their agents out. When the guy gets whacked, well.... it wasn't the US that did it. The only reason it doesn't happen more often in recent years is because it's expensive and not very profitable to American companies; a hard sell to Congress.
In regards to the PGW.... Well, that little cleanup operation - the bombing in particular - is conservatively estimated to have killed 150,000 Iraqi soldiers. (most people here would probably deem that an excellent start)
150. Thousand. Wow. And it got almost zero mention on the news. To put it in perspective, there was conflict in and around Vietnam - that had US participants - from the late 50s to the early 70s and the US lost (to combat) over 50,000; roughly how many Americans die on the highway each year if I remember right.
To put it mildly, we seriously fucked them up.
A vast majority of the forces and conventional equipment at Saddam's disposal was destroyed. The US initially agreed to help train and equip the Kurds to topple the regime, but one of the primary Iranian military officers that was supposed to lead the attack, discovered that the op had been leaked to Saddam; he got cold feet and bailed. Shortly thereafter the US bailed, and primarily due to the lack of conventional means to stomp the Kurds, Saddam used some really nasty chemical weapons on the Kurdish villages. Killed thousands of men, women and children - do not look at the pics if you are even remotely squeamish.
As for our brilliant pinpoint bombing missions in Baghdad? The US was seriously concerned about the bad press that they would get if the wrong targets were hit. (CNN was THERE, remember) So the decision was made to use the laser guided bombs.
Well, these bombs follow a laser signal to the target.
Option #1: The laser can be generated from the plane. Difficult, the guy in the plane needs to be able to pick out a particular target - usually at night and with anti-aircraft fire all around, won't even talk about the weather - and paint the target 'til the bomb hits.
Option #2: Somebody on the ground paints the target with a laser 'til the bomb hits, then runs like hell.
Because the US was so hung up about the bad PR of civilian casualties, Option #2 was the 'acceptable' choice. I managed to get one of the Spec Ops guys to talk at least indirectly about this - (I didn't ask about mission, not cricket) but he told me that he had lost many personal friends on the ground; (he didn't say, but if I had to make a guess, probably more than 50 altogether) many of them assumed to have been captured by the Iraqis. Their deaths would not have been pleasant.
What angererd him was not that his friends' lives had been pissed away by some asshats in Wash. that didn't want to look bad; he considered that part of the job. What torched his ass was that these boys' families were lied to about their deaths, that it not only deprived the families of whatever 'purpose' goes with such a sacrifice, but also cost them benefits.
Oh, and before some wise ass says: hey, sounds like the premise to 'The Rock'.... No shit. I wonder who the Hollywood guys talked to.
War sucks my friends... OMGIAMRETARDEDCAUSEALOTISTWOWORDS.

If i lived in a 2nd world country, by god i would hate the US. Just let it go.

A more apt analogy.
A prominent politician is accused of murder.
Police force sends in 20 officers a swat team, snipers and a team of SEALs to apprehend the suspect.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, another man has murdered a homeless person in broad daylight... yet no one pays attention

Here's another analogy:
You've got a BB gun. Two birds are eating grass seeds from your newly planted lawn. One has a gimp wing and only one leg...maybe only one good eye as well but that's getting too detailed for this example. Both birds are chowing down bird seed like there's no tomorrow. The more healthy bird might dodge your first shot while the gimpy one is a sure hit. Take out the gimpy bird with the first shot and then you can fully concentrate on eliminating the other pest.
Good. Care to tell me where you saw me mention anything about military power ? Can't ? Exactly, i didn't. But i knew someone would pick the bait and bring it up anyway. All in the attitude. You know why some people seem to "hate" america ? Because of all the vocal cocky, self-centerd few individuals acting like they were gods gift to humanity and reasoning america can do whatever they want simply because they have a shitload of military power and people.

So, superduper ranking system deluxe seen, as a military power, you have the largest, probably most advanced all around military, the number ONE. Still doesn't give you the reason to act however you may wish (IM NOT SAYING YOU DO).

This would be a better analogy if the cop suspected the first guy going over the limit, after all this guy was caught speeding 12 years ago. Then shot him in the head. Then executed his friends and family and pedestrians that happened to be walking by at the time in a similar fashion.Winnow wrote:A cop stops you for going 20 miles over the speed limit. kyoukan tells the cop, "but that guy was going 25 miles over the speed limit!"
So what? You were both speeding. The cop will call ahead and deal with the other speeder later.
Then he catches up to the guy going 25 miles over the limit. He caught this guy on radar, the driver admits to speeding and taunts hims with it. He then strongly condemns the driver and threatens to give him a ticket if he continues to speed. The driver then protests and states any ticket will be taken as an act of war!

All this BS about us "going it alone" or "going against the world" is retarded.There is a REASON why so many nations are publicly against Bush's plans.To disregard the consensus of the rest of the world is dangerous.
How can anyone be this naiive? I have to wonder about people, really. In 1998 when inspectors left there were thousands of tons of chemical and biological weapons. Now in 2003 we're back and Iraq is showing zero evidence of what they did with these. Based on all the misleading and lying that Iraq has done, could you honestly say that you believe Iraq has gotten rid of all these weapons?Show me one piece of evidence that Iraq is making/hording weapons of mass destruction and i'll back a war against him.
Do you realize how hard it is for inspectors to find these weapons? Iraq is roughly the size of California and we've sent in 100 inspectors to look for weapons that Iraq has had years to hide.
Supplying weapons of mass destruction to terrorists isn't a threat? It's been proven that Iraq does have ties to terrorists organizations that hate the US and it's obvious that Iraq still has these weapons. Do you think if a terrorist came and offered to buy WMD that Iraq would turn them down because of some treaty they signed?Given the available information I think Hussein will die of old age and cancer before he is any kind of threat to anyone more than a stone's throw from Baghdad again.
No there were not. Any chemical or bio weapons found in 98 would have been instantly trucked out of the country by the UN. Where the fuck did you read that the weapons inspectors found "thousands of tons" of weapons and just left them there?Brotha wrote:How can anyone be this naiive?

What the US government isn't saying is that they know Iraq has chemical and bio weapons because the US government fucking SOLD Saddam the stuff in the first place so Iraq could kill Iranians and their commie allies. Kind of embarrsing for them to give a dictator weapons so he could kill people, and then demand them back at a later date because they are apparently too dangerous a threat for him to have.
This has been an issue even before the first gulf war. Now there's a president in office who's family is in the oil business, a vice president who's made 100's of millions out of oil, a national security advisor who is so fucking entrenched in the oil industry there is a god damn fucking Chevron double hulled OIL TANKER named after her, and now suddenly Iraq is this huge threat to world peace.

If it comes down to their word versus ours, I will back the value of the word of the US government versus the Iraqi government.

YES! Those bastards in the U.S. sold chemical and biological weapons at discount prices to Iraq so they could miss the entire country of Iran with the Scud missiles they were putting it into!!!!11!!!!11! Of course if we were to supply a country with arms, you just *MIGHT* actually see them being used at some point *MAYBE*.
