When this is over, in a couple of weeks I hope, we will learn that this was the correct course of action.

Finally, the US, UK and Spain are doing the right thing.  Not seeking another UN Resolution.  Clinton never asked the UN for anything - about the only thing I liked about his foreign policy.

I just hope they put better cameras on the laser-guided bombs this time... I wanna see one fly right in Saddam\'s bathroom window while he\'s laying some wolfbait...

Yeah Ace I saw that as well...  Unfortunately I will be at hockey and have to wait until 10 pm to see what he says.  I think war will start before Friday.

No need to apologize buddy! :)  Everyone here is entitled to their views and who is to say you were wrong.  

As for Blair, I wish he was American.  He is quite the leader.  No, I am not saying this because he has supported the US, I really think he is one, if not the best world leader today.  Much better than GWB IMHO.

I wish the best for the Iraqi people. I hope and pray there will be no civil war among the many Ethnic groups. I\'m sure many will welcome Democracy as many of the Iraqis are educated and hopefully will choose a more peaceful transition. As for the fundementalists......hoo boy. THat\'s a whole new can of worms.

Here we go....I only hope this war is swift and low on casulitys..

God help us , if GWB is a two-term President. I don\'t think we could handle another war.

Here\'s a quote from CNN.

Quote
President Saddam Hussein appeared prepared for war, warning that if Iraq is attacked the battle will be "wherever there is sky, land and water in the entire world."


Sounds like to me, someone has a little certain plan..eh?

He also coined the term "Mother of all" wars back in 1991.

It turned out to be a route.

This reminds me of the opening of "Hot Shots Part Deux" where Saddam is in his bed using the dustbuster and catches his penis in it.  Anybody see that movie?

Yes...

Hilarious movie and I hope the real war is just like that...

A couple of weeks?  Please!  I believe the entire ground mission (desert storm) in Iraq in 91\' lasted a whooping 100 hours.  They are all in trouble.


 I have a hunch though.  The US Army will always attack the night of a new moon.  Although, there is a problem.  Tonight there will be a full moon.  Thus, we would have to wait almost 20 days until we attack.  Hopefully Iraq knows this and we can suprise them tonight.  

And why is it that the US, UK, Spain and Portugal are the only countires left with any balls?

Thank God Fear Factor is a repeat tonight.  Dang president...



MSNBC has had a countdown to the Presidential address for the past couple hours.  Um, it\'s over 4 hours away!!!!  God I hate news organizations.   I\'m so glad I got out.

Post by: Living-In-Clip on March 17, 2003, 02:44:08 PM
Which episode is Fear Factor, tonight?!? I just started watchin that show, so I wouldn\'t mind catchin\' that.

And it could be worse...CNN had some guy on that just kept repeating the same old stuff...

"Yeah, the President is giving a speech. I think its safe to say we will go to war..."

repeat ten times.
Title: Its over. War is coming!
Post by: videoholic on March 17, 2003, 03:00:57 PM
Not sure what fear factor is on, but I can guarantee you that they will eat or do something really gross and their will be a chick with big tits.
Title: Its over. War is coming!

Exactly why I watch the show..

I was trying to be kind. I think it will be quick except going into Baghdad to find Saddam.

Here\'s my question...May be a dumb one.

But, what exactly are we goin\' to do with Saddam, once we find him? I mean, there is no clear cut answer on what we plan on doin\' with Osama when and if we get him..Never the less, Sadam.
Title: Its over. War is coming!
Post by: Ace on March 17, 2003, 03:17:13 PM
No need to worry. If Saddam is in the sights of any soldier, I am sure there will be a bullet between his eyes before he can say  Baghdad.

As I said, it may be a dumb question.
But wouldn\'t that fall under assination? Which is prohibited, right?

I am not the most political person, so I excuse my ignorance.

Post by: Titan on March 17, 2003, 03:22:24 PM
I knew a war was coming within the next couple weeks. This shouldn\'t be a long war. It will end when Hussein is removed from power.

If hes unarmed.. I think it is.

I remember Bush speech where he said he would kill Usama.. The spokesperson later had to take back that statement as it is illegal to threaten to kill someone, even Usama.

Post by: videoholic on March 18, 2003, 04:51:21 AM
But Saddam is a soldier isn\'t he?  I mean unless he is waving a white flag giving up why can\'t someone shoot him?  It\'s a war.  Heck I don\'t know.  It would be sweet though.

Post by: Ace on March 18, 2003, 04:51:48 AM
No . . . we support our troops, no matter what side we fall on, and hope it\'s quick with few casualties.
