'They Hate Us' Geez, it usually your type that accuses our side of stereotyping. The Iraqi people will welcome liberation. We are all educated when it comes to WW2 therefore i now you will all see this logic. Appeasement is never an option when dealing with a dangerous dictator (Ex. MUNICH!) Could you have imagined what wouldve happend had CHURCHILL Been Prime Minister during Hitler's Early days as the leader of Germany? This is what happening today with Iraq, except this time, we wont appease the Dictator! CvM
They well be scared first, because they believe, from Saddam, Americans are evil, and Iraq will prevail, once that is found to be bougus, The Iraqies will be happy.
Now I’m not saying Sadman is clean, but, from what you say above, how does he fit into a Munich scenario? Which county is he poised to annex? What is he doing about some agenda to conquer the whole of the middle-east? Who are the countries that are willing to let him carry all this out? Re Churchill being PM in Hitler’s early days, the real man for the job was probably the greatest British Statesman never to be Prime Minister, Austen Chamberlain. Then again, Anthony Eden would have helped matters considerably if he would have been kind enough to have got himself expunged during the First World War. Hitler takes Rhineland/Austria/Czechoslovakia/Poland – Sadman takes Kuwait. Hitler exterminates ‘undesirable’ Germans – Sadman exterminates ‘undesirable’ Iraqis. These are reasons to act. Sadman limps around at home not doing much of anything and swinging his dick for 12 years. This is a reason? You want a W.W.II analogy, I’ll give you one. Hitler invades the Sudetenland on the grounds the Czechs are mistreating the citizens and some Czechs in a boarder post fired across the border? Hint, in this analogy Hitler is not Sadman! No.9
The only partner Iraq has is from France. Remember, Israel destoyed a weapons of mass destruction factory which was made by France. Everyone knows that France supplies third world countries with weapons. If you have the money France will sell it to you. If U.S ever sold weapons to Iraq then it was because of Cold War. Different times and different enemies.
Hmm, Kuwait Well, hes invaded Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia France, Germany, lesser China and Russia Ill give you a quote to counter, one from the Greatest Briton Ever (And he was half american i might add) Winston S. Churchill: "...Fore without victory, there can be no Peace." And just listen to Brad, He nows i have nearly all of Churchill's speeches memorized, i recite them when we play SC. now that I think about it.... I think ill go watch The Gathering Storm CvM
Anybody else hear that France says they will go to war with Iraq if they use chemical weapons on US Brit soildiers. Anyway. Anyone he can get his hands on, he did it to Kuait. (excuse Spelling) Tried to do it to Iran. NOPE. France is so against other countries getting Weapons of Mass Distruction, all nations who have them are. It was because US wanted Iraq to beat Iran. Didnt know he invaded Saudi Arabia, learning somthing new every post I read. Do you know when he did this Finest Hour? Not really all these nations were against him in the 1st Gulf War. Perfect Quote Hey CvM, good to see a name I recognise.
When i mentioned Germany, France etc. i meant that their unwillingness to support us this time gives saddam the opportunity to use chemical weapons on these countries in the future. Iraq Crossed the Saudi Border and seized several Border Cities during the gulf war. US and Saudi troops fought together to liberate them.
Thanks CvM Iraq claims US gave them permission, thats bogus, Bush Sr. gave them no permission, then gave a long time to pull out before he started the bombing, they were defient. Because of UN sanctions, plus he would have the power to take Kuwait, and other neighbours like Saudi-Arabia, Jordan, if USA would not intervene.
Don't think Israel is really the subject here, and lets not go there. But Israel wouldnt do anything over an invasion of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, if US would not intervene the Mid-East would be Hellish instead of unstable.
I read the US troops will enter Iraq whether or not Hussein leaves the country. I am quite sure there are several "lunatics" around in Iraq with guns so several US casualties can be expected...
This is really interesting, the coalition gives an ultimatum which is believed to have been followed. Yet they decide to invade and say it doesn't matter what they will do. Best regards/ Daniel
The US is very hypocrite in this case. If Sadam leaves, no war. But still the US and Brittish troops will enter Iraq. If Sadam doestn't leave, war. So in two options you will get the same solution. Iraq will be occupied.
I agree Knight, I think this whole "terror alert" is being blown way out of proportion..... Saddam has said that he will not flee Iraq, meaning that within the next nine or so hours, the "second" Gulf War will be under way... DUCE
