Attack on American base kills 20....

Check your history on that one... Saddam murdered his way to power... he was not "installed" by the US.



We installed him as second in command. To be surprised that he murdered his way to number one is rather incredulous, if you ask me. He was, after all, a politically motivated murderer, even then.

Looks like Mosul is the new Fallujah.

Looks like the US did not make the smartest decision to let Kurdish militias take the place of Iraqi police after many refused to go back to work.

The Peshmerga(Kurdish militia as you called them) are some of the most dedicated fighters you'll ever find. And they would gladly die to help the americans, using them is never a mistake.

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

I was refering to what the local population might think of it. Or is the proper response to that.....fuck the local population?

Removing a murdering dictator from power and seeing that Iraq will not be on the helping end of another 9/11 is a very good reason to go to war.


another victim of brainwashing -- I thought the evil emperor told you your country went to war in Iraq because of the wmd's ... you really have absolutely no idea why what your soldiers are dying for do you?

Most of us believe it is all interconnected.

Try to follow the logic -

Iraq - had WMD (I'm not going to repost all the quotes from governments and officials - we all know they existed - and we all know that the politicians were fearful of them)

Iraq habitually broke the resolutions set down by the UN.

Iraq was and is location in the world where terrorist training takes place.

Saddam H. condoned Terrorism against the US as well as any country that supported us.

Afganistan could have been described as "Iraqish" and vice versa.

Question: There is a guy on your street that is a druggie, you know he is a druggie, and he has been arrested and convicted before. In fact he is under house arrest. Your family gets assaulted one night, right on your front lawn. There is a guy that takes confesses to the crime. It just so happens that the confesor is one of the druggies gang members. What do you do?

Punish the guy who confesses to the crime.

What do you do? Kill the other guy just in case?

Did I miss a news break on FOX?



Apparently we both did. I expect it was the same one where the Iraqis were throwing flowers for our troops.
