"Tanks start rolling" meaning when the wheel starts to turn, when the war begins...you get the idea ? The oil fields will be taken by Paratroopers, Spec Ops, Apache's, AC-130 Spectre's and armoured support. The spearhead will be ground troops with air cover.

Oh thats what you meant. happy:

Or build a giant school for US kids who can't read good.


I didn't see or hear anything new in powells speech, I almost died laughing at the spy video of the iraqi jet supposidly spraying test chemical weapons.
And then there was the arial photos of supposed weapons warehouses with large bold writing with arrows pointing to blurred items "Warheads" "Boxes of Anthrax" "Map To Saddams Secret Underground Layer"...

I am all for seeing saddam being taken down from having any power or even dead because he is a nutter, but couldnt it be that they assasinate him without going to war with iraq? Wookie, Havocs point was that relations with iraq and indeed the middle east and anyone else with anit-west feelings are pretty much at an all time low, and incase you hadnt noticed, the idea of war hasnt been a very popular choice with the rest of the world too, and thinks maybe now is not a good time to go to war. Vietnam did not get a good public backing and that was from the US civilians themselves, but because the US wants this war, is that good enough reason to ignore anyone elses pleas against war, including the iraqi civilians, and go ahead and bomb the country? If the situation was reversed and you lived in iraq knowing a very powerful country was planning on bombing your country, i dont think you would be too happy about it, even if you hated saddam and wanted him out.
Not that it helps matters, but when 9/11 happened, the US piblic didnt suspect anything, and in a way that was a good thing, everyone was getting on with thier daily lives. we all know how easily we press the panic button at the sign of trouble, britian is particulary bad for it, like the fuel crisis. and Y2K, not everyone is guilty of it, but the majority of the world was buying out shops etc in fear something bad might happen. So imagine how the iraqi civilians feel knowing their country is to be a battle field yet again. but then i suppose they are probably used to it by now. "the americans are coming? when did they leave us in the first place?"

Saddam needs to be taken from power, agreed, but by means other than war as it will just fuel more hatred towards US and britian. Saddam has his people under his thumb, which he gets by force and by beleif in some God. Give iraq a sane and honourable leader who praises god and the iraqi people will follow, and appreciate not being threatened by their leader, and also not being threatened by powerful countries who dont like their leader because they fear he may attack them.
That may sound a picturesque ideal situation of dreamland, but people here think war is good and iraq should be nuked......oOo:

SoLiDUS 02-06-2003 07:41 AM

Bah.

Weapons are a pretext to remove Saddam, insert a puppet leader and
control the oil once and for all.

Two birds, one stone.

02-06-2003 08:10 AM

thanks to many years of political bitching, it is no longer "acceptable" to assasinate another country's leader, so we have to bomb the fuck out of everywhere and hope he is under a mk82

Captain Bunny 02-06-2003 08:41 AM

Not acceptable to assasinate?? thats a bit of a bugger then.

James bond will be out of a job oOo:

I think they were Special Forces, but not sure, dun't remember. You might be right.

USAKnight 02-07-2003 05:44 AM

buck Fush.

The only reasons Dubya has for invading Iraq are

A. To finish up the little family fued started by DaDa Bush in 1991.

B. To take everybody's mind off the recession. Hell, mid-grade gas is $1.60 in most places!

It sickens me to see the US planning to invade a nation unprovoked. After Iraq, who's next, Poland, France, and Belgium? Hussein IS a dickhead, but so was Castro, Stalin, Krusckhev (sp?), Mao, and Pol Pot. Normally, I see the term "Yankee Imperialist" as commie propaganda, but Bush is trying to live up to it. We can handle Iraq alone well enough with missile strikes within two months, but if Bush is ignorant enough to attack N. Korea, we'll be "in the trenches" for three years at least, dodging nukes and human waves. I'm not a Democrat, so don't go there, I just don't see a justification. If he is going to send American men and women "over there" to fight and die, he better have a damn good justification. Goes to show what happens when your leader is not elected. BTW, what ever happened to Osama bin Laden? I thought he was the one behind 9/11, not Saddam Insane.

02-07-2003 05:57 AM

...are you implying imperialist is a bad term? that's what i would describe myself as.

HaVoc 02-07-2003 07:21 PM

Imperialism: The policy of extending a nation's authority by territorial acquisition or by the establishment of economic and political hegemony over other nations. *cough*spiral of aggression*cough*

...you sick fuck.

Actually, during the Clinton administration there was a surplus.

It's a faulty interface to say that it was Clinton's fault, too.

By the way, I seem to remember "GOD BLESS IMPERIALISM" being a topic on the AA.com IRC channel.

SIEG HAIL! DAS NEWZ AMERIKANA!

Bartlett 02-08-2003 11:44 AM

I'm just pissed off that Tony Blair is George Bush's bitch and he'd lapdance if Dubya asked him to.
If the USA goes to war, we're gonna get dragged into it, and who's closer to Iraq? USA or UK? Hence, who's in more danger from NBC weapons?
