Gawain 0 #1 July 6, 2008 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/iraq_yellowcake_mission The article cites that this is material built up prior to the first Gulf War, but what I think makes this a good thing is how we were able to pull it off, logistics and all -- especially the secrecy given variable reliability considerations...So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Sure it didn't come from Nigeria?I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

sfc 1 #3 July 6, 2008 I'm glad the stuff did not find its way to iran or other bad place, i'm pissed that the iraqi government made money on this while we are poring billions of (borrowed) tax dollars into the country, i wonder if they financed the operation to move it to canada. this should have been spoils of war and we should have had the cash from the sale of it. I am so tired of seeing the debt that my children will inherit climb and other nations (and individuals) getting rich of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would have been quite a lot like armed robbery. like we didn't fuck up the country anyway going in with gun and bombs just like an armed robber does, the real reason we went in was the oil anyway it is about time we started to profit from it or get the fuck out, i'm sick of the national debt climbing to finance this war The whole thing was a fraud anyway, no-one believes the reason we went in was noble (except 2 or 3 ultra-right wing fanatics who post here), may as well have the iraqis pay for what we did to get sadam out of office.

n23x 0 #6 July 6, 2008 So your response is, literally: "fuck it, time to smash and grab"? How about grasping for an ounce of respect and just withdrawing from Iraq? .jim "Don't touch my fucking Easter eggs, I'll be back monday." ~JTFC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfc 1 #7 July 6, 2008 Quote So your response is, literally: "fuck it, time to smash and grab"? How about grasping for an ounce of respect and just withdrawing from Iraq? .jim Yeah, mostly I wrote this out of frustration, I think the only reason we went in was oil, 550 tonnes of yellowcake is nothing in comparison, the thief in the white house has smashed Iraq and grabbed much from the USA tax payer already. They would find a way to spin it so it sounded OK to their neo-con supporters. My kids taxes are going to be paying down this war debt and probably my grandkids too.:( You are right on the money though, the only way to get respect back would be to pull out, and i hope the next president does.
