Yeah apart from them damn French who had the front to say the intelligence was bollox , oh and the Russians because they are Russian and the Chinese but thats because they are really foriegn and must have sold him loads of WMDs anyway because they are like Koreans and Pakistanis and they are all the same and interbred because they come from Asia and of course the UN ... all them horrible people at the UN laughing at poor Colin and saying his cast iron evidence was fabricated how dare they .Anyway. In 2003 Iraq did have WMDs, everyone knew it, just like Japan was going to attack the Philippines in December 1941.![]()
Still once its over by Christmas and the oil is flowing cheaply , Iran will be cowering in fear as it will have two secure hostile democracies on its borders to worry about and Americas army with a widely expanded coilition will really be ready to kick some camel .![]()
As stated your information is old. Read the Duefler Report on Iraq WMD.Originally Posted by Spartan198

Edit: And you probably really want to read the report. While it isn't all that favorable toward the initial reason's for the invasion of Iraq, it doesn't disprove all the stated reasons for the invasion either, in fact, if I remember my own reading of it correctly - it validates at least two of the intial reason's given by Bush for the War. However for those against the war it, doesn't provide validation for the primary justification for the war used by the Bush Adminstration either.

I like pine 2x4 made into kinliding (SP) and used to start a small fire of split pine. After the fire is going good - place a Mesquite log on the fire - burns nice and hot for a long time. Works good in the old house without central heat.
Now if pine isn't available - cottonwood makes an adequate substitute

Do you support an immediate US invasion of Yugoslavia, North Korea, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Columbia, Egypt, Israel, China, and Iran? How about Turkey, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, South Korea, or India? If not, what makes the Iraqi people so special to you?Originally Posted by Spartan198

Oh boy now we are really getting full of hyperbole.Originally Posted by ajaxfetish
Now lets answer.
Yugoslavia has been broken up into several nations - so which new republic should we invade. That is besides the ones that alreadly have some sort of NATO or UN presence?
North Korea - since a state of war alreadly exists between North Korea and South Korea, with the North Korean government counting the US as still part of that conflict, I think your point is rather mute here.
Indonesia - Hmm tough question on that one, do they have nuclear or chemical weapons? Or are we to invade the largest Islamic nation just because of their religion?
Algeria - that seems to alreadly be settled by themselves - or are they deciding that its all France's fault again?
Libya - alreadly bombed in the 1980's, and he learned his lesson.
Columbia - At last I heard the United States alreadly as at least a law enforcement agency in country.
Egypt - the United States used to send a rotation to Egypt to monitor the cease fire between Egypt and Israel. Last I heard Egypt is not attempting to invade its neighbors, nor is it developing nuclear or chemical weapons. Or are you just picking on them because of their religion.
Israel - an ally of the United States. However they have sent spies into the US to steal secerts once again. Would make all the Islamic fundmentalist happy though - a good possiblity to conduct such an operation to bring about world peace.![]()
![]()
China - we would lose all thosejobscheap consumer goods. Good capitialists dont destroy their cheap labor source.
Iran - Hillary alreadly took care of that requirement.......
Turkey - I see your picking on Muslim nations again.....
Mexico - population assimlation soon to be accomplished. No need for an invasion by the United States, since an invasion is alreadly happening......![]()
Saudia Arabia - naw its just a big desert, beside been there not a pretty country at all. Or is it the Islam thing again for you....
Pakistan - seems someone is picking on Muslim countries as targets for invasion. Now they do have weapons of mass destruction all aimed at India....
South Korea - see answer for North Korea. Then again we also invaded both North and South Korea at least once alreadly. Inchon ring a bell.....
India - can't invade India we would loseall those jobsall that cheap labor....

Sorry to get you riled up, Redleg. Just grabbed a bunch of names from an online list of nations with high per capita records of human rights violations. I've got nothing personal against them, I just find it interesting that Spartan at one point used caring about the Iraqi people as his justification for the war. It seems strange to have so much care for the people of Iraq (does he know any personally?), without having a similar concern for oppressed people the world over.

no big deal - I just wanted to point out the weakness of hyperbole exambles and try out a different type of arguement then I have in the past. Most of it I will probably delete unless some fish actually takes a bit out of it.Originally Posted by ajaxfetish

Uhm, yes he is. A few of our ministers aren't elected though(Støre is the only one I can think of atm). But ministers aren't elected in any country as far as I know.Originally Posted by Fenring
Why do you think he isn't, btw?

Thank you kindly.

He climed Everest a couple of years ago .Who's Hillary?
Oh sorry wrong Hillary, I must be in a time warp .
Its this one .
She has recently been elected in New York for her first term , she says that Saddam and Al-qaida are buddies and there is convincing evidence based on reliable sources to confirm that it is really true and not just another made up piece of crap to try and convince the gullible .![]()
She also said we shouldn't do diplomacy at the UN over this , but I think she was just upset about the silly unbelievers and naysayers laughing at the evidence .
A great woman really , though somewhat shy and reserved yet with a capacity for honesty that is truly rare among politicians . She would make a great candidate for higher office but due to her wish to remain an obscure backround figure I doubt she coud be convinced to stand in the near future .

“Yugoslavia”: This country doesn’t exist any more. About old news...
“Yugoslavia has been broken up into several nations - so which new republic should we invade”: Considering NATO bombing, a Protectorate in Bosnia with several Foreign Troops on it territory, a Protectorate kind of Panama model in Kosovo "Self Proclaimed Country" helped by Foreign Troops, carved in a other State which refuses to recognise the spoil of war, we can consider that it is “mission accomplished”…![]()

No because after the invasion Iran will be quaking with fear and they will have seen what happens to countries that have WMDs .Isn't it about time she threatened Iran then?
This Invasion will completely sideline the Iranians throughout the region and eliminate any marginal influence that they may currently have .
So even if edmund should stand for higher mountains I cannot see that the office at the peak would have do make any threats at all about Iran since the veracity of the intelligence operation and the astounding military and political prowess of the coilition shall have them Araby Persiany ...ah well they are all the same as the go to the bakery lots and lots as they are really into bread ..... begging for the mighty forces of democracy to liberate them too .

I don't know how coalition's are born in your country, but over here it basicly comes down to that two (sometimes three) large parties make deals about what to do and what not, and divide ministry posts as spoils of the election. We only have an indirect voice in how the executive branch is going to look like.

Sure sure, but couldn't Hillary, you know, say something like 'If Iran's president is prepared to wipe Israel off the map, I am prepared to wipe Iran off the map' - 'wiping off' being shorthand for 'I am a two-bit dictator with crackpot ideas, no sense of responsibility and a remarkably small penis'?Originally Posted by Tribesman
