GySgt said:I say "war for oil". Of course, I say war for a lot of things, but if the chant was going to be ignorantly used, we should have at least given it some truth by planting a few flags. .50 cents a gallon. Awwwwww. Now that sounds great.
kal-el said:Yea, to good to be true. If only George Bush were to say "I'm taking over Iraq's oil supply,so our gas is cheaper" , that would confirm my suspicions about him being the anti-christ, but I bet more Americans would support him then.
GySgt said:Of course they would. Even the "high and mighty." They'll just do it behind closed doors and as they fill their cars up.
By the way, I always heard that the "anti-christ" was supposed to come from the Middle East.
Ironside said:It most certainly won't be you and I seeing the profits from the oil.
Are you kidding?
Thanks Gysgt....GySgt said:"Has the war in Iraq made any difference whatsoever in the war on Terror or in stopping London or Madrid or any other bombings ?
Answer = not in the least."
Was it supposed to? There is an entire region of Islamics that cheer whenever civilians die at the hand of their "martyrs." Attacking Iraq and Afghanistan merely stirred the pot. Until the rest of the world gets off their asses and stops playing apologetic victim, terrorism will persist and it will continue to stem from Iran,Syria,Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, etc.
The rest of what you wrote is just dribble. It's what every war sees and what every war in the future will see.

You've just proved me right. Your 'couldn't give a damn' attitude as to the corruption in your government & the cosy relationship beween arms manufacturers & policy making politicians, is just typical of American public ignorance & apathy & shows just how politicians are able get away with it becuase the over whelming majority of the US public don't give a damn.
I'm just glad you like paying high taxes for futile wars fought on the basis of lies & an insanely high arms bill run up by politicians that either seemed to conveniently have overlooked the cold war is over & that billion dollar stealth bombers aren't really much good in dealing with some insane little terrorist that wants to leave a bomb on the London or Madrid public transport, either that or they have the arms manufacturers right up their arses so to speak or both of course !

Iraq was a minor player in global terrorism. Those terrorist camps in Northern Iraq were in Kurdish controlled territory.
have you ever heard of the saying "A little fib can turn into a huge problem" same principal w/ terrrorists, one minor group of terrrorists, could turn into the next Al-Queda.

kal-el said:Isn't that kinda hypocritical? You have Jesus as your avatar, and yet you approve of the killing of innocent Iraqis, US military casualties swelling, and sending bombs over populations' to "fight terrorism".
GySgt said:You have Superman as your Avatar. Isn't he supposed to protect the weak?
Yeah...I don't like basketball either...I can't believe those Pacers got probation...kal-el said:Yes, where did you get the idea that I'm against protecting peaceful civilians? I just don't approve of blantant offense or violence.
cnredd said:Yeah...I don't like basketball either...I can't believe those Pacers got probation...
Joke...kal-el said:Huh? You kinda lost me there redd. But I believe Ron Artest got suspended the rest of the regular season, and three other players involved in the brawl were suspended for like 30 games or so. The fan that set it off got arrested, I think.
cnredd said:Joke...
I gotta find an avatar with an airplane going over a smilie's head...
kal-el said:Let see... we lost nearly 2,000 American lives, more than 30,000 civilians died, we traded a contained dictator in for a choatic situation. So you tell me, was it worth it?
I thought you knew me better!:dohkal-el said:Ohh, I didn't know, because when people joke or use sarcasm, they usually use smilies.
theheartbreakkid13 said:Of course it was; in the War of 1812 we lost thousands of civilians and soldiers from both Britain and America. And in the end we all gained a free country, now in the next hundred years Iraq might just be a country like America.
cnredd said:I thought you knew me better!:doh
kal-el said:Yes, where did you get the idea that I'm against protecting peaceful civilians? I just don't approve of blantant offense or violence.
kal-el said:That's the key phrase, "In the next hundred years, Iraq might be a country like America." That is a nice phrase, but it's highly doubtful. Iraqi people never had a democracy previously, in all actuality, IMO we made a bad situation much,much worse. Yea, Saddam was a bloody dictator, and his people were oppressed, but we can't stay forever,and after we leave, it most likely will fall apart, or someone as bad or worse than Saddam will take over. And then we'll be screwed.
