We should not attack Iraq
-
Saddam is not a terrorist. Saddam is a dictator in a Sovereign. This war is about going after terrorists, not going after dictator in the world.
You wanna go after Terrorism? Check out Sudan.
-
Britain with us? Tony Blair is with us. Show me a poll where more than 30% of the British people actually back an attack.
I think you are trying to skew statistics a little too much to your liking. I have seen the polls - and 71% oppose military action against Iraq (as you said) – however, there was one little fact that forgot to mentioned: unless it is endorsed by the UN. Obviously this changes the slant of things dramatically. Personally I would support an invasion by Bush without first the support of the Senate or the UN (again, this same thing happened in the “Newsweek Poll”).
France and Germany anywhere near helping us? Right.
Do you need their help? Probably not, though I think approval would be a step in the right direction. Again, I will say that heads of the French and German state want to ensure that any war has the UN seal of approval.
You wanna go after Terrorism? Check out Sudan.
I know this has been talked about as with Yemen, so I wouldn’t count it out.
And remember, Russia has Veto power in the UN. And just signed a huge trade deal with Iraq.
I know that Russian oil companies do have a vested interest in Iraq, though have not chosen to develop them until after the political situation is settled. Russian isn’t going to mess up its relationship with the US because of Iraq.

The President of the United States made it crystal clear after 9/11 that we will make no distinction between terrorists and those countries harboring terrorists.

Yeah,
i really hope that someone who was blamed to be a terrorists sues the US for some trillion dollars:
that would beat one major US-“flaw” with another. -
Except there is no proof Saddam is harboring terrorists. President Bush is going to war over what he thinks Saddam has.
You know, the politicians opposed to this war are the ones who have actually fought a war. People who have seen people die beside them. People like Senator Kerry. President Bush, well he joined the National Guard to get out of Vietnam.
-
Ha! I smell myself a liberal! :D
There is no proof that Saddam is harboring terrorists? Would you bet your lunch money on that? :wink: You’d be wrong. There’s lots of evidence that shows connections between Saddam and al-Qaeda. I can show you if you’d like.
Secondly, John Kerry knows jack-shit about protecting our national security. Look at what he did during the Clinton administration. As a matter of fact, Colin Powell is now coming on board the plan.
-
I am a moderate. You can see, I don’t think along party lines. Bush is just Ultraconservative.
John Kerry knows more about the military than President Bush does. President Bush coward out of Vietnam.
Ok, show me proof Saddam supports terrorists.

Ok, take a look at this:

Ha, I wish. Bush many be conservative, but not nearly as much as you make him out to be. If you want ultra, trying looking a Dick and Donald - and even I then I would considered them diehard ultras.

Hey, dudes!
Today’s news said Russia has softened its
“Don’t attack Iraq stance.” Heh heh.
UPDATE: Russia wants someone(I wonder who?) to pay the 8 billion(that’s thousand million, for those who use billion differently than we do in the USA :) ) $s that Iraq owes Russia.
As I said afore, France and Germany are coverin’ their sases :D .
They’l be a coupla the last to join, to show independence, but to
get credit for being in the fight.

In my humblest opinion, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr was the greatest author of the late 20th Century.

Iraq has let in Weapons inspectors. Now what will Bush complain about?
Betya he’ll find a new reason.

Good. It seems like the our campaign of intensified on Iraq has paid off. Good job, Bush Administration.
Betya he’ll find a new reason.
Betcha he won’t. The Bush administration was already optimistic that a new U.N. resolution calling on Baghdad to comply with long-standing U.N. resolutions would be drafted by the end of the week. Let’s just hope that Saddam was as unconditional as he said to be and to disarm.
-
Saudi Arabia has agreed to let the USA use the military airfields (the USA built) in Suadi Arabia If the UN says “Attack Iraq!” They are feeling left out of the developments. Yemen is handing over suspected terrorists, Pakistan is doing the same. Qatar is allowing the USA to build military airfields within their sovereign borders. Bahrain and Oman are considering the same(or has building already begun?). The USA and British fighter bombers have cleared flight corridors from Kuwait and Jordan to Baghdad.
AND NOW Saddam says the inspectors can come back with no restrictions.
President G. W. Bush said it is not for Hussein to make the offfer, but for Saddam to accede to the demands of the UN.I say send 'em in on helicopter gunships. Then the Iraqis can’t cannot play the shell game so easily. Use satellites to help cover western Iraq and blanket the area with fighters. Put an airbase in the zone. Catch or destroy what you can to protect Israel. Then cover southern Iraq to do the same for Kuwait and S. Arabia. Then connect the two areas. Follow with northwestern and western Iraq. After the USA and Britain clear an area put in (examples) Canadian, Egyptian, Russian, French, German, Australian, and a combined Saudi/Kuwait units to cover the zones. Regretfully, Some US units may be needed for this purpose also.

T_6,
Saddam comply?
What turnip truck did you just fall off of?I expect until Friday to get any definitive answer. I am cautious, though hoping that the UN will follow through this time. However, it isn’t the first time Saddams been known turned his back.

And as we all know, the U.N. will enforce the new resolution? How often do they enforce a resolution that is needed?

President Bush said that even if Saddam completely opens his country to unrestricted weapons inspectors, the goal of his administration is still “Regime Change”. What does this mean? He’s a fool and he’s going in no matter what.
