I wont believe it till I SEE that Iraqi oil in my gas tank.:evil:

Wow, I hope that guy is joking because that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard. The Iraqi Information Minister hasn't broadcast in over 24 hours. When he did broadcast it was obvious lies. The last broadcast he made was on the streets of Baghdad a day or two ago. He said that there were no Americans in the city at all. Meanwhile, in the background you could hear machine gun and tank fire. And that's just one example.

Yes, humor in uniform thinking.
The Iraqi minister of misinformation, The Arab Joe Issuzu, Mr Al Saahaf, is the key to the acceptance by the Bagdadians that the fat lady is singing and without a gas mask.
I am told that one cannot be in support of the troops and against the war or visa versa so I am glad it is over before I had to choose one over the other. Bombing Saddam was a great move they should have done better on day one and took out all the Saddamites at once and kicked back and ate pizza in Quatar.

What? Is it just me? Or have the nay sayers vanished! Where did they go? Ok so the easy part is nearly done, the hard part has just started, we could still lose this war, not on the battle field but in the poltics that must follow.

Can the idiot, who calls himself the president of the US, follow through with wisdom and statesmanship to resolve the many very difficult issues that remain? I have my doubts, but sincerly hope that I am wrong.

If I believe what I see on TV then the Iraqis are overjoyed at the arrival of the US Forces.. and all the other Arabs wrong. I still don't see the legal means by which they were invaded not withstanding a prior post in which the Brittish Spokeperson said the interpretation of 1441 did not say we couldn't. I also think the battle is won and the war has just begun... where is Osama.
And is the Israeli issue settled?

Apoppin, do you feel stupid yet?

It is NEVER stupid to express caution. The only guarantee in this world is uncertainty.
It is ALWAYS stupid to be overly optimistic. In fact, being overly "positive" is the military euphemism for "stupid."

It is ALWAYS stupid to ONLY express caution and NEVER take risks.
It is ALWAYS stupid to be overly pessimistic. We call that being French.

"The National Debt should be written off and the holders given tax credits with a $2000 per annum limit."

That debt is primarily held by other countries, not citizens of America, you are going to give Spain 2,000k a year in a tax break they can't use in exchange for billions in debt? If you pull this one off you need to get into sales.....


The article that states our actions show how far off base we are with those in the region must be wrong, they are clearly stunned by the throngs of cheering Iraqi's. Apparently someone had it wrong in the Iraq case, hopefully they will be able to stomach the fact it was them.

That is the idea regarding the W/O of the debt. Let them understand what the Full Faith and Credit of the US is when push comes to shove. ISOLATE! Not too many poor Americans hold the debt.... so give em a break....
