  Donald seems to have drunk too much of the Aspartame he helped put on the market, because his memory is flawed. Only yesterday, the US was showing photos of captured Iraqi POWs on TV.

  And Donald, how about this photo of a prisoner...

  Is this in conformance with the Geneva conventions?

  Israel taking part in war: Iraq March 24, 2003
  

  IRAQI Foreign Minister Naji Sabri said no Iraqi city had fallen to US-led forces, and alleged that Israel was taking part in the four-day-old war to topple President Saddam Hussein.
  
  "No city has fallen into their hands. Umm Qasr, which is a small, isolated community, is still resisting," Sabri, the first Iraqi official to travel abroad since the start of the war, told reporters at Cairo's airport.

  The British military said today coalition troops were encountering small pockets of resistance from elite Iraqi troops in Umm Qasr, Iraq's only deepwater port which is just across the Kuwaiti border.

  Fighting is still reported to be taking place round Basra and in Nasiriyah on the Euphrates river.

  Sabri, arriving in Egypt after a stop in Syria, also charged that Israel was involved in the war.

  Iraq is "sure that the Zionists are participating in the aggression, after having found an Israeli missile," he said, saying that Baghdad was "fighting a tripartite American-Anglo-Zionist aggression."

  The statement follows a report on official Iraqi television that an Israeli-made missile had been found in Baghdad.

  During the 1991 Gulf war, Iraq fired 39 Scud missiles at Israel, which exercised restraint after heavy US pressure not to upset the coalition which included a number of Arab countries.

  No Sign of Scuds or Banned Arms in Iraq Yet -U.S.
  Sat March 22, 2003 08:50 PM ET
  WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. forces in Iraq have yet to find any evidence of the suspected chemical or biological weapons that prompted the invasion, a U.S. general said on Saturday.

  Gen. Stanley McChrystal, vice director for operations on the U.S. military's Joint Staff, also told a briefing that none of the missiles fired by Iraq so far in the war had been a Scud.

  Scud missiles, along with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, are among the arms that Iraq was barred from possessing by U.N. resolutions after the 1991 Gulf War.

  President Bush and his ally British Prime Minister Tony Blair accuse Iraq of having violated the resolutions and say President Saddam Hussein could provide weapons of mass destruction to groups like al-Qaeda.

  Asked if any Scuds had been found by the U.S.-British forces that have invaded Iraq, McChrystal said:

  "To my knowledge, we have not discovered any to this point," adding: "So far there have been no Scuds launched, which is very positive today."

  Asked if any signs of chemical or biological weapons had been found, the general replied: "We have found no caches of weapons of mass destruction to date."

  Iraq says it has destroyed all its stocks of chemical and biological weapons.

  It can't be called terrorism when the US does it because our actions do not fit the definition

  It depends on whose definition we're talking about. And that "shock and awe" nonsense is just doublespeak for terrorism. Here's the DHS's definition, as I brought out on a different thread...again, Frank, didn't you learn anything from the JWs about arguing from a position of "special pleading"? The only difference is the overtness of the warning before the attack, although it could be argued that there was plenty of intel and warning pre 9/11. That's a whole other frigging book.

  Everything cuts both ways.

  http://www.immigration.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-21/slb-2013?f=templates&fn=document-frame.htm#slb-act212

  On March 1st, 2003, the Dept. of Homeland Security, under the former Pennsylvania governor Tom Ridge, took over the duties of the former INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), and added terrorism to the legislative language used to determine admissibility of aliens wishing to visit or immigrate to the United States. This new office is called the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services.

  Hey, don't blame me...I didn't craft this legislation!

  iii) TERRORIST ACTIVITY DEFINED.-As used in this Act, the term "terrorist activity" means any activity which is unlawful under the laws of the place where it is committed (or which, if 4/ it had been committed in the United States, would be unlawful under the laws of the United States or any State) and which involves any of the following:

  i.e. unlawful under Iraq's laws

  (I) The highjacking or sabotage of

  any conveyance (including an aircraft, vessel, or vehicle).

  (II) The seizing or detaining, and

  threatening to kill, injure, or continue to detain, another individual in order to compel a third person (including a governmental organization) to do or abstain from doing any act as an explicit or implicit condition for the release of the individual seized or detained.

  i.e compelling the government of Iraq to give up its WMD

  (III) A violent attack upon an internationally protected person (as defined in section 1116(b)(4) of title 18, United States Code) or upon the liberty of such a person.

  (IV) An assassination. i.e. Saddam Hussein and his government

  (V) The use of any-

  (a) biological agent, chemical agent, or nuclear weapon or device, or

  (b) explosive, 4/ firearm, or other weapon or dangerous device (other than for mere personal monetary gain), with intent to endanger, directly or indirectly, the safety of one or more individuals or to cause substantial damage to property.

  i.e. cruise missiles, MOAB, and other ordinances...you don't have to use WMD to qualify as a terrorist!

  (VI) A threat, attempt, or conspiracy to do any of the foregoing.

  4/ (iv) ENGAGE IN TERRORIST ACTIVITY DEFINED- As used in this chapter, the term "engage in terrorist activity" means, in an individual capacity or as a member of an organization-

  i.e. the U.S. Armed Forces

  (I) to commit or to incite to commit, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death or serious bodily injury, a terrorist activity;

  (II) to prepare or plan a terrorist activity;

  i.e. Tommy Franks and company

  (III) to gather information on potential targets for terrorist activity;

  i.e. CIA intelligence gathering

  (IV) to solicit funds or other things of value for--

  i.e. diverting lawful tax revenues from the Treasury

  (aa) a terrorist activity;

  (bb) a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(I) or (vi)(II); or

  (cc) a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the solicitor can demonstrate that he did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the solicitation would further the organization's terrorist activity;

  (V) to solicit any individual--

  i.e. to recruit and train members for engaging in conflict

  (aa) to engage in conduct otherwise described in this clause;

  (bb) for membership in a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(I) or (vi)(II); or

  (cc) for membership in a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the solicitor can demonstrate that he did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the solicitation would further the organization's terrorist activity; or

  (VI) to commit an act that the actor knows, or reasonably should know, affords material support, including a safe house, transportation, communications, funds, transfer of funds or other material financial benefit, false documentation or identification, weapons (including chemical, biological, or radiological weapons), explosives, or training--

  i.e. ordinary military operations

  (aa) for the commission of a terrorist activity;

  (bb) to any individual who the actor knows, or reasonably should know, has committed or plans to commit a terrorist activity;

  (cc) to a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(I) or (vi)(II); or

  (dd) to a terrorist organization described in clause (vi)(III), unless the actor can demonstrate that he did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the act would further the organization's terrorist activity.

  This clause shall not apply to any material support the alien afforded to an organization or individual that has committed terrorist activity, if the Secretary of State, after consultation with the Attorney General, or the Attorney General, after consultation with the Secretary of State, concludes in his sole unreviewable discretion, that this clause should not apply.

  5/ (v) REPRESENTATIVE DEFINED.-As used in this paragraph, the term "representative" includes an officer, official, or spokesman of an organization, and any person who directs, counsels, commands, or induces an organization or its members to engage in terrorist activity.

  i.e. that would include Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Condi Rice, Tommy Franks, Ari Fleischer (our lovely spokesdude) and a whole list of unmentionables

  Once again Simon, you're spot on. It's not like the Dems and the GOP have the title to clean hands here -- Clinton was just as inept, probably even worse...

  Iraq has returned terrible atrocities today. Although I do not agree with the war, I hope and pray for the safe return of as many troops as possible. Whoever thought that this mission would be a cakewalk, though, was fooling themselves, and underestimating the tenacity of those who believe in their own personal Jihad against Americans. Pickup trucks fitted with guns running amok with groups of INDIVIDUALS sniping coalition forces should give you the picture. Although many here disagree with me, I consider Rachel Corrie a heroine, too, albeit from a different perspective.

  Yeah, I have no regrets for my differences of opinion, and I can "lay down the hatchet". It's funny, but some who hold opposite views than me on war/peace issues I agree with on tons of other items, so, no, I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater on just one issue... There's lots of inflammatory political topics here, too, but, I realize I have to check myself before making insults. At times, that's not easy.

  So what happens when you become emotionally impotent?

  BTW, what you said sounds like something right out of a Rush Limbaugh show. Rush, once again, thinks he's defining what American people should think...
