Is this really a valid argument? It seems to me the whole scenerio is akin to a teacher making an assignment, not giving a due date, then knocking on your door 12 years later expecting you to hand it in. I'm not posting this to get or start any flames, just looking for info on what was specifically done during those 12 years to get/persuade/remind Saddam to comply.
'Saddam had 12 years to comply...'
- Thread starter Gonad the Barbarian
- Start date
Ok, so your telling me there were not numerous resolutions...
Don't start getting upset flavio...
It's very easy to match someone with the amount of insight you have (Very Little)
Even though i do not know very much, i can understand facts.
But hey, this is the internet man, i really don't care..

Why didn't we have the same pressure from bush1/clinton/shrub that we had for the few months before the war started?
Well to be exact i am 18, why now go to this game...
Don't start going off topic because you cannot defend yourself..
Gonad, to answer your question i think the resolutions alone were enough to get/ presuade/remind? hehe i think he should have always known...

I was asking because you have been arguing for awhile in other threads without any facts, many insults, ignoring points, and generally using bad spelling and grammar.
It all adds up to make me feel as though I'm arguing with a 12yr old. I don't feel like wasting my time like that.
Flavio how so? i have showed you numerous facts , and have not used poor spelling and grammar other than (you're) I have not been the one ignoring points when you are in denial...
Makes me think that i am fighting with a idiot...
You can just drag me down and beat me with experience...
I also think most members reading a few of the current threads will see this.
You are ignoring facts. You are in denial. And you have resulted to the "spelling game" which makes it seem that you have nothing left to talk about other than "spinning" the same thing over and over.

If it was up to France we could've waited another 12 years while they bought oil outside the UN sanctions and sold them more weapons.
Saddam could've easily avoided all this but he had the hubris to believe in his own invincibility and thought the USA would be too chicken to actually do anything. We called his bluff and now he is out of a job.
As Rumsfeld put it, Saddam has made many bad decisions.

I guess this is still pretty entertaining.
Not to me, take it somewhere else.
It would be in your best intrest...
But Gonad again,
If you don't think the 12 years is a valid argument, i don't know what is..
Other than the WMD. Which are soon to be found once the entire country is secure.
And why did he believe that? Maybe because eventhough we had a total military advantage, and every justification for removing Saddam 12 years ago, we ended the war on certain conditions with no intention of enforcing them other than waving resolutions in his face until he complied? Because so far I get the impression that up until a few months ago that had been our winning strategy.
My opinion, and this is purely opinon, is that we have given him this much time because of two things: The UN and the general unwillingness of the majority of Americans to go to war, which is just a part of human nature. Saddam was not an immediate threat to our country for a long time in the past twelve years, and because the economy was riding high, we had no real need to worry about others. Twelve years later, this is not the case: our economy has lost a significant amount of its strength and the bigger issue of the EU in Europe between France/Germany and Britian made this war valid for our economic interests. By effectively spreading out the wealth that Iraq has, the US and Britain were really seeking to strengthen their own economies and Britain could use a stronger economy to its advantage in the power struggle in Europe.
