Foil, does a lame-duck president with no political future left have anything to lose? No...it's clear that Iraq is going to be left in shambles to whoever wins in 2008.

Attacking Iran will be a good thing, I just hope that each person on this board that is all for it is at the front of the draft line. Woodchip, you'll be over there won't you? TB, you too right? Bet, they will need plenty of support, are you planning on going? Oh you're not? Then shut the hell up, how do you people enjoy being so cavalier with other people's lives? Because you can sit on your ice cold tea and watch the war on CNN and not worry about a thing. How the hell can another country be attacked when half the money going to the 'troops' is going to private security forces? That's right...the money that Rep Boehner cried over doesn't even go fully to the troops...it goes to Blackwater, KBR, and everywhere else but the front line.

And since when do we listen to politican's words anyways? Remember when Bush said that Bin Laden would be found at any cost? Yeah..that lasted about a year...then he came out and said he could care less about the guy who actually killed 3000+ of our fellow countrymen. As for you people, go f.uck yourselves...you might enjoy that more than another made for tv war.

Zuruck, Please don't bring the language you use on the other board to this one. I wanted to reply to your post but I'm afraid it will invite more of it.

Well, I found more saying the same thing Anti-War.com did (the dates on these are much earlier, too). Lookie here, here, here, here. :twisted: Mwahaha.
Not even remotely close. :twisted:

Check out these from the evil one himself...

I think that would be a more fair statement.

Sorry, every nutjob stupid-religious country that openly advocates destruction of those who don't act like them.

In my overly terse way, I was trying to propose that every country in the world should be on this guy's ass, not just 'the west'. It's not our job to be the only 'policeman'.

Agreed Testi.

I love watching people post fuzzy little comments about how we were really cruel to the naughty enemy during world war two--or any other war for that matter.

If someone has a big stick and he's waving it at you, then you jolly well better go and take it off him, 'cause he's eventually going to hit you with it. And if he's hiding something behind his back, which turns out to be nothing...hit him anyway.

That's the kind of thing I was trying describe as how so many governments (including my government) seem to think. ... and a lot of countries see America as one running around with really big sticks hitting anyone who even swings a trig. ... so to speak.

Mind you, that's not how I think, it's just how a lot of countries seem to behave.

There's been allegations of mistranslations of what he has said.

you can google that for yourself.

Bee, you really should watch this.

For me to even listen to your argument, Bet, you have to do away with this concept of \"evil.\" It is pleasant and pacifying to live in an imaginary comic book world with the \"good guys\" on one side and the vile \"evildoers\" on the other. Unfortunately, the world is a lot more complicated than that. To use such a term demonstrates an incapacity to appreciate the subtleties and nuances of the conflict we are in.

Kyo, she's right tho'. That leader, and all of his followers, the rest in Iraq, etc. are evil. They kill (or want to kill) for the sake of killing. They are the most brutal torturers after the Chinese/Japanese.

I watched the video and saw an actor telling the audience not to rely on what you see and hear on TV because its all an illusion put there by the media. (I saw the movie "Network" too)

I saw the video of Brian Williams asking Muhammad Ahmadinejad about his holocaust remark and watched him skirt the issue.

I saw Ahmadinejad chanting "Death to Israel" over and over and over but I don't hear Israel returning that kind of hate.

So again, which part should I not believe and why should I not be afraid of them having nuclear weapons.

um, the entire thing?

cmon, are you really going to take the words of some translator (that we don't know is actually translating properly and I suspect is filling people's heads with crap) as gospel?

It's like going into a stranger's house because he offered you candy.

But someone who NEVER believes what the read is wrong almost as often as someone who always believes what they read. :)
