We should not attack Iraq

@Yanny:

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.

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.

[Yanny]

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.

[DeviantScripter]

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.

[Yanny]

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.

I hate that. :-?

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.

[TG Moses VI]

Iraq has let in Weapons inspectors. Now what will Bush complain about?

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.

[Xi]

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,

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?

[Xi]

. . . every time!(Xnlhta [blue faced smiley(Xi nearly

France and China have expressed relief that
Iraq is cooperating. :roll: Heh heh.

Iraq has clarified its inspection offer. The
unrestricted inspections are for military bases.

The game continues . . .

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.

[Mr Ghoul]

When this thread first started, someone said that the U.S. would get no backing for an attack into Iraq.
Then Britain stated that it would stand with the U.S.
The U.S. tells the UN that it will act with or without its approval.
Russia has slacked its resolve too.
Then today in the paper I read that our Canadian Prime Minister says that will we send soldiers into Iraq if asked too.
I said somewhere earlier on this thread Canada would back the states and now its official.
Bush apparently convinced Chretien (Canadian Prime Minister) the need for action with proof that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is producing weapons of mass destruction.

Anyway I’m for an attack on Iraq, they should have done this during the Gulf war.
I could really care less if the they sweep Iraq from the map.

William Jefferson Clinton said the words (1998) and laid the
ground work, but never did the action. Now he’s saying, “We
almost got him (Osama).”

“It is the spring of 1942. The world is at war. Three world
powers are struggling for supremacy in the field of atomic
weapons. Adolf says, “Blitzkreig it!” Hirohito says, Banzai it!”
Yanny, the leader of the USA says, “Let’s wait until they
atomize London, Moscow, Washington, Tel Aviv, Riyadh,
and Kuwait. Then, I’ll have some cross words for them.”
:oops: wrong war, SAME POINT though.

Y, The world is not as it was in WWI, WWII, the Korean War,
or the Viet Nam police action. If you have all the answers
you want, then Saddam has all the warning he needs to
use or diburse the weapons he has to the terrorists, before
the military makes its move.
You can bet GWB will give the needed info to the key leaders
of the free world. That way he’ll have an okay from leaders
(who will then share the info with other legislators and peoples,
at/near the same time as GWB is tellin’ us and sendin’ in the
military to save the world from a family of NUTS.

I’d back any president who was leading the way to a safer world…
even William Jefferson Clinton. Though he used his power
decisively on two days that leave his presidency in question.
First, he used cruise missiles on the day Monica Lewinski testified
before the Senate. Guess which item was the headline in every
paper in America? Second, he used cruise missiles the day that
the House of Representatives was to vote on his impeachment.
In both situations (I believe one was the destruction of an aspirin
factory and the othe was the start of the attack on Milosevik in
Yugoslavia.

I heard on the news today that the Ukrainian president said
his country had 2400 nuke warheads at the end of the USSR.
He stated that 2200 of them were dismantled, but that 200 of
the nuclear warheads were unaccounted for. Hmm. I wonder what the generals
or Russian mafia could do for themselves or the destitute people
of the Ukraine. it is estimated tha tthey might get anywhere from
$100,000 to $1,000,000 for each missile.
