yeru,
if you can'T see the difference between hating US politics and hating the USA than i can't do anything about it. I consider the "blame America first" game that you play as hating america.
i trust neither the word of hussein nor bush's word. they are both liars and they both only do what is best for them. no morals on both sides. show me where Bush has lied.
bush has not presented any actual facts to the world community...repeating he has facts doesn't make it true. he says his government is informed about actual locations where weapons are hidden (lakes houses etc.) if this is true why doesn'T he give that info to the UN inspectors? i don't believe in any of his facts as long as he doesn't give neutral observers the opportunity to prove or disprove what he says. Even Hans Blix says Iraq has these weapons. Geez. Maybe he's not loose and free with the info because of compromising intelligence sources, maybe it's the penchant of the French to give info to the Iraqis so they can move their weapons, as was demonstrated in the past.
Look, the UN Inspectors KNOW from the last time they were there that Iraq has chemical and biological weapons. Lots of them. Iraq has failed to report them in this latest round of "Declarations" or to account for how they destroyed them. This is a direct violation, a "material breach" of the UN resolution 1441, not that this matters to the "peace at all cost" crowd. Who the F is a neutral observer in all this? There aren't any.
you still have to show that hussein is any worse than many of the dictators the US supports/ed (including hussein himself!). the US goverment is using double standards like no one else. one day he is worth to be supported...than when he doesn't comply with US interests anymore he is turned into the reincarnation of the devil himself and has to be removed. Ummm, lets see, Kuwait makes him worse.
about the resolutions against israel...it was the US and only the US in many cases that prevented sanctions against israel. israel is save since the US has the right to veto any UN resolution. This is because the US sees the one sidedness of these supposed sanctions. Where were the sanctions against Egypt and Syria for attacking Israel? Oh, that's right, THERE WEREn't any even Proposed.
Those terretories wouldn't be "occupied" had the Palestinians not used them to attack Israel from. Israel who was gauranteed existence by the UN you so favor.
it was a bullshit idea to found israel on already inhabited land. the whole conflict is as old as the zionist movement. no one can blame the arabs for trying to defend their land. Um, it was Egypt, Jordan, Lebenon, Syria and Iraq that attacked Israel in 1948. Israel was "their land" NO, it wasn't.
i can guarantee you that the iraqis won't apprechiate the liberation! i told you already what i think the outcome of this war will be...the US will give a flying shit about the iraqis once they have the oil. we will see whose prediction is right. Until you've been to the region and talked to the people, you have no idea. by the way, the Kingdom of Jordan is siding with the US in this.
The guy is evil, when we take him out, we'll find a lot of his weapons of mass destruction, and that still won't be enough for the America haters.
that remains to be seen. I guess we'll have to wait until March to find out.
and by the way....i don'T find it more troublesome that hussein has WMD than lets say israel or the US....simply because he is no position to use them anyway. He's in no position to use them? Ummm, we must be forgetting Iran, or the Kurds, or the missiles he lobbed at Israel, or the little bitty terrorists running around. Besides which, I don't recall Israel using WMD EVER in it's history. The US did in Japan, but that saved lives.
Perry,
what exactly are your ARGUMENTS?
and when did i side step? i aswered your post. i think hussein should be removes just like any unscrupulous goverment in the world. If he should be removed, who should do it if not the US?
Mike,
Nope, no CIB, combat patch, but no CIB, I'm not an 11b, which is part of the requirement.
