Death to Saddam

[AJ]

Why don't we just call up Osama and find out what's going on?

(jokingly) Maybe we can have Tauni get his number. She seems to have the connections.
She did a nice job on finding out info for Jet though :D.
But back on topic...Anyone know when this hanging is going to take place? Hanging doesnt seem as painfull as being shot, but it lasts a lot longer so I guess that'll do.

I wonder if they'll place the noose on eBay when it's all said and done?

[xveganxcowboyx]

You sure about that?


Yes.

There has never been any evidence supporting that. Even Bush has stated this publickly after being called on his insinuations that there was a connection. There was absolutely no connection between Saddam's regime and sept. 11 or Al Quaeda's actions. In fact, the two were pretty opposed to each other given that Iraq and Saddam's government were much more secular than most middle eastern countries.

Given it's not pushes fault people got sent over seas, and i'm not blaming him for that... But can't we hang him anyways for being a dumbass?

You think they will televise the hanging? I'd be willing to pay for that sh!t.

Yes.

We went over because we thought he had nuclear weapons. So we wanted to stop him before he was able to test or atempt to use them on this own people, or a nearby country. It's like giving a 4 year old a big red button that says "DO NOT PUSH", we know what's going to happen.

What i don't get, if we went into iraq to prevent them from getting nukes... didn't north Korea just get them and test them sucesfully? And now Iran is working on their program... at this rate we need a new president or a draft if we are going to keep this up.

You're kidding, right?
About the oil, yes. About staying on topic, NO. :cool:

Well, if we'd have all known that beforehand, it would've made it much easier to make the decision. But we didn't, and a decision was made, sometimes you have to do that, popular or not. Had Iraq fired a missle our way at some point, we'd all be mad at Bush for not doing anything. Iraq definitely had a nuclear program, but even when that information is given to the American public, some democrats cry foul and have it removed stating the info could get into the wrong hands. Since we just took it out of the wrong hands, that's a weak argument in my book. More like bad timing for them as far as elections go. Hmmmm.

Besides that, just because we don't have pictures of all the weapons with Saddam posing in front of it doesn't mean they weren't there. They had plenty of time to get rid of them before we came over and it's widely though that a lot of it was trucked into Syria. There's also been reports of high levels or serin and other toxic gases dumped into the rivers there, it wouldn't be hard to get rid of. I think it's just a matter of time before we find something big.

I'll agree, Saddam obviously wasn't directly responsible for 9/11. Did he help Al Qaeda along the way? Very good possibility. Did he knowingly harbor and Al Qaeda, I can pretty much guarantee it. Just because you don't see it on the nightly news doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If you've been in the military during any conflict at all, you'd know that.

Point is, going in and killing the bad guy isn't cut and dry in this case. But along the way, we got rid of a murderous dictator and are restoring democracy to a country that's been in fear for decades. We're also building schools and giving freedom to people that are just realizing what it is. So even if we haven't gotten what we came for yet, we've left doing more for that country than all the "save the world" organizations combined could ever do. I feel good about that.

Oh yeah, back on topic for Vicious.

Once again, Steve is right on the money.

I agree with Steve also, but with all the satellite technology we have, we would have seen plenty of it leaving the country. It's hard to truck missles and such without being out in the open.
