What\'s wrong with protecting American interests including the oil we spend billions on so these wackos can live in palaces?

Saddam needs to go whether or not it should of been done 10 years earlier is a problem with the past 2 administrations, I\'m just glad we got somebody in the White House with balls to get things done, I don\'t agree with everything he does, or half of politics, but Iraq isn\'t the greatest thing, kill Saddam and get out, the only problem with that though is the week minded people that are over there. It\'s not that they are week minded its that they are poor and hungry and when someone promises you something you don\'t see through the lies you just go for it, so if we don\'t stay I see another dictatorship coming.

First off, we could have taken out Saddam over ten years ago. Instead, we stopped 5 miles short of Baghdad in a cease fire agreement. Don\'t ask me why.

I honestly don\'t think Saddam is a threat to us. For one, he wouldn\'t launch nukes at us or our allies. Secondly, he is a paranoid megalomaniac. To think that if this guy were to get hold of a nuke, he would give it to Bin Laden, a man who is known to be anti-Saddam is simply absurd.

Bush wants a war with Iraq. It either has to do with Saddam trying to kill his pa, oil, or perhaps wars can raise popularity levels for the next election.

Does anyone bother to read the previous posts?????  Video pointed out quite accurately that we could not go into Baghdad BECAUSE IT WAS NOT IN THE UN RESOLUTION TO OUST SADDAM!!!!!!!   We were bound to follow the UN directive, thus enabling us to gain support from other Arab countries.  

Why are you naive enough to think Saddam wouldn\'t hand over a nuclear weapon to terrorists??  It doesn\'t have to be Bin Laden, he could hand it over to any nut who hates the US.  As a matter of fact we aren\'t only talking about the US here.  Any country is at risk if someone such he acquires a nuclear weapon.

As someone a month or two ago pointed out this isn\'t about getting revenge for a failed assassination attempt - I think the person said "that is a playground mentality" to think in such a way.

Probably the best statement as of yet.

Taking Saddam out isnt a smart thing to do now. It will only increase the anti-US sentiment in that area and we dont need that yet.

What was started in Afghan. needs to be finished first.

Even if he has a nuke or capabilities, he certainly doenst have ICBM\'s that could reach the US. Hell, I dont even think the US has long enough distance ICBM\'s to hit him.

Oil is a big reason in this, dont be fooled.

Ok, so we go take out a guy that should have been gotten years ago. Then what? Leave..MORE pissed off ppl. Or do like the great Afghan. mistake and put a dummy government in place and once again MORE pissed off ppl.

I really dont care for the CIA and al, but this is a perfect time for one of its black book operations to send a squad in and kill sadam quietly.


Im just wondering when the moron in charge is going to start pointing and proding his stick at Iran and N.Korea.

Excuse me. I didn\'t see anything in video\'s post about a UN resolution, and I wasn\'t really serious about the revenge part.

This war will be to oust Saddam.

Like I said there was no mention of a UN resolution, but I see your point. Now get off my case.

How do you know people are really anti-US?  They can\'t speak their mind!!!  And only the yoohoos get on the tv. The ones carrying the guns burning the flags.  The people huddled up in their homes scared to say anything are the ones we are doing this for.

Very true.  And this is why I can\'t understand why all these small countries don\'t want to see him ousted.  Flip of the switch and he can throw a nuke into Israel.

And we don\'t need an ICBM to go that far.  We have Subs, Ships, and Planes.

I agree.  The interim Gov\'t is going to be a very scary thing.  Although the peopel didn\'t seem to mind when the Taliban were dislodged from power in Afghanistan.  And all you saw were anti American sentiments from their too before the war.

Totally agree.  I wish this could be the way to handle this.
