WOW....cha-cha-cha-CHENEY finally came out of his little underground hideout and poked his shiny little head out for a bit. It's like groundhog day!!!! Since he doesn't seem to be afraid of his shadow, what happens next?? Does that mean we'll attack North Korea?? Or will he just go back to eating donuts??
hehehe I just can't stand dick cheney. He is soooooooooooooo sleazy and it really annoys me that he has put american civilians at risk while he is safely hiding somewhere unknown most of the time. Whether you're for or against the war, I think it is difficult to argue that there is no increased risk of terrorism now. I'm just scared that family members and friends may be in the middle of an attack, while we all know that dick will always be safe and sound... just my .02
while you´re in the region - liberate Syria and Iran before you take out the North Korean evildoer www.groundhog.org
wtf are you talking about? this isn't a boardgame. many Americans died in this campaign. little Iraqi girls had their intestines splattered against walls. anti-Americanism has never been worse, anti-American terrorism is no less likely. one can only assume that the phantom 'wmd' are still out there somewhere, and more motivation to use them now exists. Iraqi cities and infrastructure are destroyed, to be rebuilt out of American pockets. the military operation has a stated cost of at least $75 billion, the true cost only God knows. and bungrider is the 'loser'? why, because the telescreen displayed 20 seconds of defense department-approved footage of Iraqis pulling down a statue?
Good Lord, Madison. "More motivation"? Give me a freakin' break! You think the yahoos around the world needed "more motivation"? They have hated us for decades now! They're wanting to kill and destroy us is not in any way shape or form a RECENT development! Didn't 9/11 make that clear to you?!?
the amount of 'new' hatred created by this operation is unclear, but it certainly doesn't help matters. it seems absurd to say that this operation reduced the potential for al qaeda-style terrorism - which seems confirmed by the adminamedia's recent shift in spin, to a war of 'liberation' rather than one to protect American lives.
Those who want to hate the US will hate the US no matter what. They will hate it no matter that the Iraqis right now are chanting their thanks. They will hate it no matter that Iraq will be rebuilt. They will hate it ...... That is all they are endeavouring to do. If they can't see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears what is occuring right now...then nothing one says or does can ever change their fanatic dogma. Nothing.
Can you believe the stupidity of the "oh, but, but, they already hate us" argument? No shit they already hate you. Guess what. Now they hate you a lot more and there's a lot more of them hating you. Pretty simple formula. But I suppose America is a safe now. Now that the imminent threat of those WMD has been eliminated. Of course, the real goal, as we all know, was the liberation of the Iraqi people (a few thousand dead Iraqis? Small price to pay!). The destruction of WMD was just a lucky side-effect (I think they destroyed them so well, that no trace can be found that they ever existed!). [/grin]
