12 hours seem fast...i bet they're all on drugs. Å¡erpas.
but you see in plural (slovenian) we would put Å¡erpa as
Å¡erpe. but you probably know that already. so Å¡erpas it
is.

On "the Sopranos" the other day, there was a bit where one
of the characters was fretting over something or other and
Tony says, in a quickfire, punchy and incidental piece of
dialogue:

"Don't worry, since 9/11 our boys are in the middle east
securing the fuel that'll make our economy tick over for the
few decades. We'll be alright".

It was a brilliant piece of observation on the
head-in-the-sand, short-term attitude some people have.

Here's another thing. I'm no republican at all but it could
be argued that a handfull of irish terrorists managed to
kick a major colonial army made up of thousands of troops
out of a piece of crap slice of this island. What chance
have the inexperienced US army got in a country the size of
France, in the middle east, with a well armed and volitile
population? Fuck all. Its going to go on and on and fuel
more terrorism and cost the US a fortune.

zues all i hear from you are negative inconsistencies to
back up your mundane reasoning. so your saying that qadaffi
relenquishing his own wmd's is a bad thing? i honestly dont
see your point. 1st things first we went to war because
Saddam DID NOT WANT TO COMPLY WITH 15 TO 17 UN RESOLUTIONS.
not 4 NOT 9 FUCKING 15. let me paint a picture for you

he was given several warnings to abide by which he did not
want to. we even gave him a fucking ultimatum that guy did
not want to play nice so we had to remove him out of power.
are you seriously this slow to factual information. or like
do you skip the bold lettering when its fucking convenient
let me take a guess, you fall under the lower class income
of society. your angry at bush because your on welfare
checks or something? honestly tell me why you think bush has
done 'SO' wrong. Actual fucking reasons why you think this
war was a waste of time. remember to use my initial
statistic report in your analysis.

hmmm the email doesn't mention how iraqis have to queue for
upwards of 4 hours to get petrol, when there are some of the
world's biggest oil fields just down the road from them,
pumping out oil to the Americans.

I don't believe many of the "facts" in that, especially
about schools, immunizations, clean drinking water
electricity (a lot of even baghdad is still blacked out),
and hospitals. it's tripe.

You're a gullible fool.

Points: 5264 Status: Lurker



most of you are making some good points.

many are making it seem like the us didn't at all do
what they did for humanitarian reasons. that most definitely
wasn't at all a big reason why bush decided to send troops
there/etc.. but that was a big reason for many other people
to go along with it, who would normally totally oppose it.
do you really think that the u.s. could've actually sent
needed supplies to the poorest citizens of a sadam-dictated
iraq? i mean, think about it. would their government want to
let the underprivileged citizens know that the u.s. is
actually doing something to help them? i'd
think they would either take the
rations/donations/etc, and either keep them entirely for the
higher-ups or not even use them at all, removing all
evidence.
keep in mind, the former iraqi government would do much to
make their citizens think that the us government is entirely
evil, just like the u.s. government does much to make their
citizens think that the former iraqi government was
completely evil..

"sent needed supplies to the poorest citizens of a
sadam-dictated iraq
"

the 'oil-for-food' program was meant to do exactly that.

"keep them entirely for the higher-ups or not even use
them at all, removing all evidence.
"

and that's exactly the effect it had.

for the 12 years after the gulf war the poorest people in
iraq were being starved to death by the iraqi government
because of their continued defiance of the UN mandates, and
the efforcement of UN sanctions.

NOT going to war was killing people. it's just not
as black and white as you're making it out to be nacmat.

to say that the us had altruistic motivations is not
accurate. but, as you said i think it's equally as
inaccurate to say that oil was the only motivating factor.
i just don't think it's as simple as that.

I believe a source for your comment is needed just as bad as
the first post on this topic.

So why argue; looking for facts for the original post, then
lay down information that is just as unsupported?

yeah i wouldn't trust those facts if they just in an email
from a "soldier" being circulated around the net

but i am sick of the way the situation is being portrayed by
everyone... people seem to have already made up their mind
beofre the war started "This whole thing will be a
failure!", and theyre not willing to change their minds

then "we'll fail in bagdad, it'll be a masacre!"
uh.... no.... i guess not...

ok so the whole country fell, with huge cities being taken
with a historically unprecedented civilian casualty rate (as
in it was tiny, especially considering the iraqi soldiers
were dressed as civilians, and using civilian vehicles, and
in urban areas)

now that the occupation hasn't gone to well people are
saying "they didn't even PLAN for this! thats the stupidest
part, it was a brilliant war but they DIDNT EVEN PLAN for
the occupation!"
uh..... yeah... youre right, they didn't have a plan
america took over a country and promised to democratize it
with the whole world watching (and complaining) without any
sort of plan, they didn't even THINK about it
the soldiers are just improvising..... whatever, why would
they plan? they're stupid! havne't you seen the way george
bush talks! america must be run be retards

the only thing that pisses me off more than the american
government propoganda is the anti-american propoganda

yeah im getting a salt overdose

has anyone seen, in all those iraq war photos taken by
soldiers, one of a statue of a guy riding a horse with his
sword in the air, exploding?
im not sure what hit it, but you can just see the guy, the
front of the horse and his sword poking out of this
fireball, it looks really cool

if you know it and know where it is could you post a link

its not a bad thing. but its not iraq. dont justify the

15. wow. and how many has israel broken? in the hundreds.
but we do nothing. explain that?

"let me take a guess, you fall under the lower class income

ok, now you're just being a dick. my class or income doesnt
make my views any more or less important. but for your
information, im probably more well off then you. in fact,
its taken me all this time to reply, because ive been on a
plane, so I can live in this fucking awesome Italian villa
for the summer. so dont jump to conclusions you idiot. my
stance has nothing to do with money, it has to do with what
is morally right.

"honestly tell me why you think bush has

its all been covered in this thread, which you ignore, so Im
not going to waste my time repeating it.

PR reason for invading Iraq "to free the people from a

real reason "to kill a guy we put in place that isnt earning
us enough money anymore.. . plus this way we get to inflame
more arab hatred and steal their oil.. . which we need to
keep our gas gussling economy ticking for another decade.. .
and to be honest we'll be lucky if our politicians like Dick

the problem is that the UN seems very bad at taking action.
there's so many different parties involved that they're
rarely able to come to a consensus, and end up taking
half-assed measures. rowanda is a good example of this. the
UN did relatively nothing and millions of people were
slaughtered while the international community shook their
heads and debated endlessly. kofi annan recently apologized
for the UN, but who actually feels responsible for that? no
one does, because every nation was able to hide behind the
shield of the UN.

the exact same thing was happening in iraq. nobody thought
saddam should be left to do what he wanted, but nobody
wanted to take any real action either. so, we starved them
for 12 years. how long should the UN have kept that up
knowing that it wasn't working? i just can't see how that
is an acceptable solution. it's just that it's easier
because nobody has to feel like they're the ones killing
innocent people because technically they're not dropping
bombs on them. but the end result is the same, except
oil-for-food was directly targeting ONLY innocent people.

i think it's a huge commentary on george bush's abilities as
a diplomat that he's lost a pr campaign to saddam hussein.
people hate him so much that they immediately dismiss every
idea he has. but, i believe the UN was wrong here, exactly
like they were wrong in rowanda. and now the international
community is withholding it's aid even though it's obvious
that failure to create a stable iraq will undoubtedly cost
the lives of millions more innocent people. why? because
they know that it'll be easier to let that happen and then
point their fingers at america and say 'we told you so' than
it would be to actually help try to make the situation
better.

mappatazee and zeus you're pointing fingers at the wrong

with terrorist attacks. which would explain why they tighten
their security in the gaza strip and try their best to
secure their nation and follow along international res. this
isnt even about resolutions anymore, lets go beyond the name
calling and think things through like human beings.

you have a man in power who doesnt care about the welfare of
his people. if you dont think thats just cause for war. then
i dont know what is

zues and mappatzee you both really need to get your heads
out of your asses and realize this isn't a game. there are
people out there who really need help and those like your 68
resolutions are good examples of how many times israel has
had to probably change their tactics in dealing with
afghanistan.

I love how you reinforced your point by saying 15
resolutions!!!!

and then we mention the 68, and you say "this isnt even
about resolutions anymore"

so it only applies to who we want it to apply to? where is
your logic?

and did you ever stop and think that, wow, maybe there is
terrorist attacks on israel, because the PALESTINIANS (not
the afghanis, but whats the difference right... all those
darkies are the same... fucking terrorists) have thier land
being invaded, thier homes destroyed, and their people
killed, ILLEGALLY. Im not saying the palestinians are blame
free, but come on, wake up... the plastinians arnt commiting
suicide bombings for a lack of a national past-time.

and if you really wanted to stop the name calling and think
things through like human beings, why tell us to take our
heads out of our asses? Real mature. Thats thinking alright.
Bravo.

That last paragraph... I dont even know where to begin, to
get through your ignorance. You spell out very clearly, that
15 broken resolutions is AWEFUL, AND JUSTIFIES WAR, but 68,
ah.... nah, those are justified.

Seriously man. Think before you post.
