So there were WMD , to me Wmd are simply classified as any non conventional weapons , non conventional weapons are anything that doesnt just blow up a small area simply put . What have we found in Iraq so far Anthrax , Blister Agent , mustard gas , sarin gas ..... So were found in weapons stockpiles , some were found in people refrigerators , and some were found by the hundereds in drums . Again imo the media is very liberal and a smoking gun will never be found because that smoking gun will be a full working up and running nuclear arms plant I give that million to one odds i believe they put people Mars before id believe that . The point here is that SADAM wasnt allowed to have anything except short range normal bombs to defend himself , he signed a treaty to end the gulf war saying all kinds of stuff including the previous and he never fulfilled his promise . And again he had 12 to move stuff around , we gave him eight months of warning telling him we were coming to kick his ass and take his gas .
However, he didn't have enough weapons of any kind to be a major threat to ANYONE. The point is that the President grossly overstated the threat Saddam posed, and lied to the American people. He gave false information in his State of the Union address, and still insists to this day that Saddam posed an imminent threat to American security, which is absolutely false.
Gore had his own agenda , what laws did gore get passed :
Okay, a couple of those things aren't even related to legislation, but I agree that Gore has always had a censor side that I don't like either. Even so, all of those things are pretty minor except for #1; certainly nothing compared to the laws Bush has approved. And if you think Carnivore is worse than the PATRIOT Act, you're out of your fucking mind.
Iraq is Vietnam revisited because this is the way the press has painted it this way .
I agree the comparison is somewhat overblown, but there is a similarity in the sense that there is a faction that is determined to get us out and will stop at nothing until we're gone. It's certainly a more accurate comparison than WWII (which is what the Bush crowd likes to say).
Bushes biggest mistake was not going to war right after he got a blank check to do anything he wanted he had a 70%+ aprroval rating at the time for doing so he should have gone only gone to the un one more time not three times . Six more months is a long time to get buyers remorse . By the way the people who voted for the blank check were all democrats , a republican majority hadnt been voted in yet . "I voted for it before I voted against it" some dude said that .
THe counsil was corrupt France and Rusia lost lots of oil and past owed debts because of this war and thats why they voted no in the end and Germany voted nuetral .
You're saying he should have been quicker in his action to deceive the country, and start an unprovoked and unjustified war? I don't think he could have been that much quicker, since multiple people have stated that planning basically started on 9/12.
As for France, Russia, and Germany, yes, they all have interests in the region, but so does practically every other major country. I really don't think that had anything to do with their votes; one, I don't believe any debts have been forgiven yet, and two, those debts weren't going to be repaid anyway. You might chalk it up as a minor factor, but I think it has more to do with respecting what their populations wanted (unlike, say, Great Britain or Spain).
Also the military has high standards , people who have gotten in trouble have had a major illness mental or physical , have taken drugs or serious medication ,
dont meet metal or physical apptitude tests are not accepted . To me this profile that the military is looking for doesnt scream minority , poor or inner city . Some people do join for college money so at best it says middle or working class .
Trust me theres lots of people like Pat Tillman who couldve been doing somthing better but felt a patriotic call .
True, they do a lot of their recruiting in rural areas and small towns. But Moore was just going back to his hometown because he likes to do that. I think his point was more about economic factors, not race. There is no denying that there are more people from underprivileged families in the military than the national average. I'm not saying the military targets the poor specifically, but there is no doubt that they are an easier target because of the incentives offered. And we both know the whole 'have taken drugs' thing is pretty much bullshit. Sure, they won't enlist you if you're an addict or something, but as long as you put down that you haven't, and don't have a medical/legal history of doing so, they don't give a flying fuck.
Terorists declared war on the united States of America . Freedom has many enemy enemies in terrorism on all sides , including but not limited to one with racial agedas , religous , idealogical and political . We were attacked though specically by fundamentalist right wing muslims of moslty middle eastern persian creed . This area is know as sotheast asia , the middle east or the persian gulf .
Whos the craziest mofo in the area who causes the most hatred against america ?
I have to say its a tie btween him and Arifat .Point in hand Sadam Hussien is a crazy motherfucker . No body can arguee with that fact .
THe war in Iraq wasnt over oil , food , power .
It was over a decade of playing the United States , the Un and its international treaties as a joke .
So you're saying that the war is justified because 'Saddam is a crazy mofo'??? He may have been in violation of some UN resolutions, but _so are we_. The fact is, our aggresive action was unjustified and unprovoked. It isn't about oil and power? Then why attack Iraq and not North Korea, or Iran? They're far more dangerous and have a much more anti-American agenda than Iraq ever did.
Good job you guys youve killed hundereds of american soldier and Iraqi civilians ..
No. 'Support the troops' does not mean 'support the war'. The insurgents have every right to think that the war is not supported by a large number of Americans. The blood is on the hands of the ministration and the Defense Department, not those who have opposed this bullshit war from the very beginning.
