For my reason of saying this.

If you stand against the President of the United States, regardless of who he/she is. You stand against America. If you stand against the country in which you live. Why not leave? I hate to be so harsh but I read that somewhere and it is the fact.

Well that gets my vote for the dumbest thing said yet.......

Electrode, I don't want to get into a pissing war with you. I respect you and your opinion but I just disagreed with how you presented your "facts". We can leave it with that.

I disagree with the President on TONS of issues but that is what makes the USA wonderful.

The high gas prices right now are due more to cold weather in the northeast, the stike in Venezuelan and now the stike of oil workers in Nigeria.

War fears in the ME add a little but are not the main causes at this time.

Don't bother, unless it's a video of you smashing your nut$ or someone being dragged across the border where they belong.
 
I am playing devil's advocate. I could care less. Whatever happens is gonna happen and there is not a thing we can do about. I do vote Republican but I stand behind whoever is in office. Except Clinton..What a bum..... He got away with more than any one President and people still like him? Go figure.

That remains to be seen how many will be killed. There maybe no urban combat, there might be some.
If we do nothing, Saddam will continue to kill that oppose him. As far as human life goes, it looks to be worst case a tie on which side will kill more.

Its a New York Times link, unfortunately they require registration to read all articles. Its free and rather painless though, and I think well worth it for access to all their content...
 
The cliff notes version for those who don't want to read the whole thing 🙂
Defense Department officials said Iraq had shipped rail cars full of ammunition and demolition equipment to its oil fields. That spurred concerns that Iraq planned to blow them up to hamper the invasion and portray it as an economic and environmental catastrophe.
United States officials said Iraq had also considered plans to destroy dams and flood the Euphrates River, a move that could make it more difficult for forces to cross the river, slowing an offensive. Iraq's 11th Infantry Division has been stationed near the city of Nasiriya, where it can try to put down a Shiite rebellion in the city and guard the crossing points over the river. Iraq has also moved some light infantry and artillery south to the Basra area.

"If hostilities begin, Saddam is likely to employ a `scorched earth' strategy, destroying food, transportation, energy and other infrastructures, attempting to create a humanitarian disaster significant enough to stop a military advance," Vice Adm. Lowell E. Jacoby, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, told Congress this week. He said the Iraqis would try to blame American forces for the damage.

Iraq is also positioning surface-to-surface missiles. Iraq has placed Al Samoud missiles north and west of Baghdad. American intelligence believes that the missile can travel much farther than the 90-mile range that is allowed by the United Nations. Iraq has also placed Ababil-50 and Ababil-100 missiles and Soviet-designed Frog rockets north of the capital. Defense Department officials say the missiles have been put in place both to strengthen Iraq's defenses in the north and to threaten population centers like Kirkuk and Mosul if they fall into the hands of American or Kurdish forces.

To threaten Kuwait and American forces there, Iraq has also deployed mobile missile systems in the south near Basra. On Tuesday, American and British planes attacked an Ababil-100 mobile missile system there, and on Wednesday they hit another. Those missile deployments, as well as the deployment of an antiship missile launcher near Basra that was attacked last month, showed an escalation in Iraqi preparations.

American intelligence reports that Mr. Hussein has authorized his commanders to use chemical and perhaps biological weapons. It is difficult for intelligence experts to determine if the munitions being sent to Iraqi forces have chemical or conventional warheads. But American intelligence has noted that protective gear against chemical attack has been given to Special Republican Guard forces as well as intelligence and security personnel charged with defending Baghdad and other cities. It has been given to some Republican Guard units outside Baghdad as well.

United States intelligence agencies have concluded that Iraq will try to use chemical weapons against American forces. The intelligence agencies believe that Iraq has a small covert supply of long-range Scud missiles, which can be equipped with chemical or biological warheads. The intelligence agencies believe it is likely that Iraq will try to fire them at Israel in an effort to portray the war as a battle with an American and Israeli coalition and build support in the Arab world.

Waste your time all you want, a bunch of anti war protesters are not going to make Bush demobilize 100,000 troops. Where were you all when Clinton bombed Bosnia? Saddam needs to be removed.

Killing real innocent people working in aspirin factories was perfectly justified to save their beloved Clinton from Monica.

funny you should label war protesters as such. my father (vietnam) and grandfather (WWII) both oppose this possible war with iraq.
 
This country is so big that you can get thousands of people on the street for any cause. There will be always people who will protest, in fact, people were protesting in NYC against atttack on the Afganistan couple of days after September 11.


The fact of the matter is that 55% support action against Iraq, even without UN approval, and 75% with. Which is much higher than in the Gulf War period.

I went to one earlier today as well. Some guys I work with and I made a bunch of signs and stood out in the cold across the street from the anti-war protesters

Our signs said:

"Nuke em till they glow, then shoot em in the dark"

"Read the Old Testament. God likes war"

"We've got to try to keep our heads until this peace craze blows over"

"Peace and Love after we kill the bastards"

"Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition"

You and your "guys you work with" go far beyond "brainwashed sheep" with this display. I think the term "savages" would be more fitting. You are not even human if you really think this way.

Eh....that's your opinion. Know how much it affects me? About as much as a single drop of rain in the Pacific Ocean.
