Exactly what he said he would do. BUSH made it CRYSTAL CLEAR to IRAQ, the UN, GERMANY, RUSSIA, and FRANCE, that if the UN would not enforce the 18 Resolutions produced since the 91 Gulf War Cease Fire. That if Saddem Hussein did not Disarm. We and the Coalition would launch a Force to Disarm him and Replace the Regime. Liberals, the UN one worlders, and the appeasers HATE THAT. The college students and peaceniks refuse to understand that Saddam with Tons of Anthrax, only has to export a shoe box full of (Anthrax) across the Syrian Border in the hands of willing Terrorists. And 50 to 100,000 people could be killed in a City somewhere. NEXT THOUGHT The WAR is OVER! Think about it. You are an Iraqi Republican Guard in the Desert outside Baghdad. You have dodged 2000 lbs bombs all week. Your equipment is blown up. You are going to be treated to AROUND the CLOCK bombing till you surrender or die. I give those guys (SERIOUSLY) 3 more days of this. They will break, just like you or I would. Nobody can withstand the Firepower of the Bombing Campaign we are inflicting on the Iraqi Elite Troops. The total Campaign will be OVER in two weeks, three at the most. NEXT bring BLIX back in with a Video Crew and show him what we found in IRAQ. Show it live, for the World to see. Including the mass graves, the executed prisoners, and the whole lot.
What are you trying to tell me Max? Don't you believe in peace, love, and all the Brethren and Brother shit Candletrader has been proselytizing? Peace (as soon as we're done with Iraq, Al Qaeda, and all terrorists; organized, state supported, or independent) Rs7
wow! so now you are down to school yard techniques? "I know you are but what am I..." Whats next wild? I don't want you to sprain that brain of yours trying to come up with new insults, how is "Nya nya nya nya..."??
What are we fighting for? http://www.ogrish.com/index.php?type=20 Watch the first 2 movies: http://movies.ogrish.com/repguard.asf http://movies.ogrish.com/killedsoldiers.asf
We cannot be content to "simply be just another nation" because that is not what we are. Like it or not, we are the sole superpower on the globe, and with it comes massive responsibility. Please share with us your vision of a world without the power of the US to maintain a semblance of order to intervene when psychos like Saddam invade their neighbors or Serbs are massacreing Muslims. Who else is going to do it? France? Germany? Russia? Argentina? If you say the UN, you are for all intensive purposes saying the US, because we are the sole power capable of doing it. No we are not perfect. We cannot be all things to all people. But we try, and by and large with the best intentions and at great cost to our citizens in terms that go far beyond the financial. The day the US becomes "just another nation" is a day that you, despite your rhetoric, never want to see.
hapaboy, you great patriot you. Do the words "self styled" mean anything to you? In the sense that you BELIEVE you have created the greatest system of national governance in the world and, come hell or high water, you are gonna shove it down the throats of the rest of the world whether they like it or not! Are you starting to get it yet? Are you starting to understand that the world DOESN'T WANT YOU exporting your famous lifestyles into their backyards. "Oh, oh, oh, goodnes gracious, who's going to protect the world from tyranny and 'maintain a sense of order'"? You're goddamn right it ought to be the UN. And your arrogance COULD NOT come any higher than claiming it's just a euphamism for US. I guess it never occurred to you, mr patriotism, that other countries do, in fact, have military capabilities. You must be in shock and awe over the revelation! Now, let me ask you, who is going to protect the rest of the world from the Mafia-style extortionist US government? Hmmm?????? The fact is, my simple minded interlocutor, it's not compassion that motivates your government to act, it's the opportunity for personal gain. Of course, as I agreed, the world has never been any different, but at least admit that you're maintaining the (slightly evolved) status quo, rather than rattling off feel good humanitarian slogans. Go and read your history books hapa. You, like all the other great patriots on here, have been bamboozled by the propaganda spread by your corrupt administrations. Yeah, yeah. "It's all rhetoric." "Conspiracy theories." Ho boy. If I live to 100 I bet I'd never see a greater irony than being called naive by a pack of self righteos automatons like the US public. "We cannot be content to "simply be just another nation" because that is not what we are. Like it or not, we are the sole superpower on the globe, and with it comes massive responsibility. " Massive responsibility for your leadership to line its pockets. Foreign policy according to hapaboy: It's right because we can.
ROFL! Alfonso, your verbosity is exceeded only by your stupidity. I am in "shock and awe" only by the revelation that if you were twice as smart as you are now, you'd be chronically stupid. I understand that you are a student. So I must ask: Did you study to be this expertly retarded or did it come naturally? You naive fool you. Do the words "denial" & "evasion" mean anything to you? If democracy is not the greatest form of government in the world, what is? There is no perfect system. They all have flaws. Hopefully you realize that. As Churchill said, democracy is the worst form of government - except for all the rest. So tell us, what IS the "best" form of government? You're a supposed student and obviously a self-appointed genius, so please enlighten us. And what's this "famous lifestyles" were exporting that you so object to? Freedom of self-governance? Freedom of speech? Separation of church and state? Freedom from tyranny? Freedom from military police knocking on your door and carrying your pathetic ass off to some torture-chamber or raping your wife in front of you because you dared to utter a complaint about the madman you're a subject of? Heaven forbid we try to spread these dreadful facets of democracy! Are YOU starting to get it yet? "you're goddamn right it ought to be the UN." The key word there is "ought." There "ought" to be world peace. There "ought" to be an end to hunger. There "ought" to be a cure for cancer. Wake up. Even a simpleton such as yourself must realize that the UN couldn't even wipe its ass, let alone enforce its own resolutions, without the US supplying the toilet paper and the arm. And SO WHAT if other countries have military capabilities?!? Are those countries going to come to the rescue in cases of invasion and genocide? Hell no! So I repeat the question you have not, or rather CANNOT answer - what other country is going to intervene when necessary? Argentina? LOL! Ah yes, my country acts solely for "personal gain" and to "line our pockets." Our actions during WWII were not acts of liberation and fights against tyranny but because we had so much to gain. Our actions in Korea were solely for gain. Our actions in Kuwait in '91 were solely for gain, as evidenced by all the oil we stole from there. And boy, we really got rich when we bombed the Serbs! Somalia? We were lusting after the riches of that immensely wealthy country, sure! We must have been after the "kat" or something. That whole thing about getting food aid to the people that needed it was merely a charade....I'm sure those "facts" are in whatever textbooks you're studying. I don't want to waste my time going over all of your useless posts, so I'll simply ask you what country you're a citizen of. It wouldn't be Switzerland would it? Your tone is amazingly similar to msfe/wild's. Either you are one and the same or triplets from the same inbred gene pool. My country is going to do what it has to do to protect itself, and if in the process we get rid of a brutal dictatorship, fine. And yeah, we'll do it because we can. Choke on it bub. If you do live to 100, you'll be the dumbest 100-year-old in history. Please learn from your parents' mistake and make good use of birth control. The last thing this world needs is another generation of mental midgets springing from the loins of lobotomized dullards such as yourself. You are obviously a person who thinks international affairs means dating a girl from out of town. Beyond that you are clueless on the subject.
LOL! That's the best you can come up with? All I could possibly learn from you is that in certain cases abortion is often the better option.
