Now that the Anit-war people have been proven wrong, what do you think their excuse will be??

[Alistar7]

"What utter nonsense. In fact, the speedy fall of Baghdad proves the antiwar movement was dead right. The whole pretext for our unilateral charge into Iraq was that the American people were in imminent danger from Hussein and his mighty war machine. Well, it turns out that, far from being on the verge of destroying Western civilization, Hussein and his 21st century Nazis couldn't even muster a halfhearted defense of their own capital."

You don't need a massive force to strike the US, look at AL-Queeda.

They could have let loose anthrax, look what 6 little letters did. They could have used that waste uranium to make a nasty dirty bomb, blow that baby up over new york city and let it rain down on millions.

China could hand carry Nuclear Material over and write it off to birth control.

Yeah, and just like Bin Laden, we still havn't caught the people who sent those. As for attacking the US, why was this not a major issue pre 9/11? If he could attack now, he could have attacked in the las t 12 years as well. Face it, the true "war on terrorism" was a fiasco with none of the major Qaeda players caught or killed. Solution? Divert the world's attention and make up some vague link between terrorism and Iraq and claim they are an immenent threat. Sad. Bring me Bin Laden, then I will feel safer, I was never afraid of Hussein.

Any ideas?? I really don't know what their spin will be.The biggest issue before the war started was the accidental killing of civilians, well here is a pretty good fact that shows just how precise the coaltions attacks have been. Twenty-two million people live in the country of Iraq and only about 1,300 civilian deaths!! that means if you lived in Iraq before the war started you had about a one in 17,000 thousand chance of being accidently killed by the coalition. I'd say that is not a bad risk to take to be rid of a heartless dictator. Even most anti-war peeps agreed that Saddam was a thug.

They also said that Baghdad would be a street to street war with high casulties on both sides, WRONG!! We were met with open arms and people cheering BUSH, BUSH,BUSH!!! I'm sure glad I won't need to explain to the Iraq people why I didn't think that their freedom was worth fighting for.

Have the Anti-war people been proven wrong?

Looking at the title, I was about to relply. However after reading above statement, I realized that it's not going to get us anywhere.

Anway, What if somebody attacks U.S, and you become the one who happens to get killed? Wouldn't it matter because you'd be the only innocent civilian?
Come to think of it, so many people on this planet die by accident that's boyond our control, thus it wouldn''t matter if I just kill a person, right? He, or she could've been killed by an accident, anyway.

Oh, and You must be one of those guys who just happen to believe whatever you see on T.V. Aren't you blinded by the media to say "We were met with open arms and people cheering BUSH, BUSH,BUSH!!!"

Your last sentence just made you insignificant. Clinton did nothing for eight years while these terrorist nations trained, financed, and hid all kinds of activities.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You don't seem to know that U.S actually helped Hussien to make chemical weapons. U.S supported Bin Laden, and Hussien. Don't you even know that Bin Laden and Rumsfeld actually met as an ally?
During those days, U.S needed those guys.
You should have your facts ready before complaining about something you have no clue.

It was Senior Bush when he was the CIA head spook himself that authorized the armament and training of Bin Laden.

Clinton didnt train any future terrorists did he 😉?

Why do you think the Anti-War people were wrong ?
The facts for going to war have NOT materialized, the Iraq Army was no threat, nor were the WMD.
Freeing the oppressed Iraqi People was never the issue, until after the attack started.
The Administration cooked the books and lied to the U.S. Citizens.
When their aledged 'Proof' failed to materialize (As they knew, since there was nothing really therew)
it was Mighty Morphin' Power Reason changed to Freedom for the Oppressed Iraqi People.
There are a lot more people in oppressed countries that we turn our backs on.
Why - No grudge ? Not enough oil ? Not political sheep to harvest ?

The freedom of the Iraqi people was addressed by Bush in his ultimatum to Saddam, so that was on the map before the war. I will wait until internaitonal inspectors are finished with the mobile labs to see if the come to the same conclusion as American and British scientists.

watch oil prices fall as Iraqi oil hits the market.....

From the L.A. Times, Are We Dumb or Just Numb?
Forget truth. That is the message from our government and its apologists in the media who insist that the Iraq invasion is a great success story even though it was based on a lie.

In the statement broadcast to the Iraqi people after the invasion was launched, President Bush stated: "The goals of our coalition are clear and limited. We will end a brutal regime, whose aggression and weapons of mass destruction make it a unique threat to the world." To which Tony Blair added: "We did not want this war. But in refusing to give up his weapons of mass destruction, Saddam gave us no choice but to act."

That claim of urgency - requiring us to short-circuit the U.N. weapons inspectors - has proved to be a whopper of a falsehood.

Seems pretty clear to me, nothing about liberating Iraqi people. I posted links to this article and seven or eight others in another thread.
