Can't send them to Gtmo anymore. It'd be nice and comfy where they could sit out the war, but the libs whine too much.

According to raildogg -- and most of the Bush supporters here -- the Iraqis are the enemies. Not surprised you ignored the incongruity of liberating by obliterating.

You guys were the ones saying there were no terrorists in Iraq. Then where did all these terrorists we are currently fighting come from?

Dont tell me they were regular Iraqi's who just joined the militancy. These guys are trained, professional killers.

We need to drop some of our 500 lbs (Daisy Cutter) bombs on these guys, as they had great success in the Afghan campaign.

Coming from someone who wishes death to all Muslims. You'd love to see that wouldn't you.

Again I am calling you out on another one of your my opinions are fact. Proof they are trained, professional killers????? You don't have it. AS ALWAYS.

I think I saw him on one of those terrorist training tapes. All you can go by is the color of the uniform - they cover their face. Black isn't a very popular fashion statement there except for the terrorists. When you don't have much, you go with what you have.

I don't understand how Iran is the "axis of evil". Quite frankly the people of Iran are warmer to the U.S. than to the vocal fundementalists that cower within their border. Most Iranians are not diehard supporters of anything remotely akin to fundementalism, and even before the Shah was deposed a large sliver of the population considered themselves agnostic. Its probably the most westernized country in the Middle East and having them as strategic allies would be a thorn for both Russia and China.

President Bush wants us to believe that Osama is hiding out in Afghanistan because of indirect support from either Iran or Pakistan. Quite frankly the type of Muslim attracted by Osama worship is quite repulsive to the Shiite Muslim found strewn throughout Iran to Jordan. Osama is as good as dead in the presence of the Iranian Shiite leaders, far from supported like its popularly described. The press reports regularly how Iranian religious leaders issue all these psuedo-fatwas upon former Iranians and other so-called 'apostates' and 'infidels'. The truth is its very forbidden for these people to carry out any of their threats, its just not a crime over there to make the threats. Its their culture. In some ways people in America say 'we're going to kill you' all the time to each other in popular slang and nobody makes a big deal about it. Okay, they are more likely to act on their statements, but it is similar nonetheless.

The U.S. cannot strike Iran without ruining their own welcome in Iraq. What people are largely missing in their news coverage about Iraq is that the U.S. has largely staged the battles with insurgents to keep the people involved. Falluja wasn't anything like reported on television, but it was hostile and there was fighting. The truth is that the U.S. knew full well who they'd be killing there, and so the battle took place under tight constraints. When the U.S. has reached their goals then the action there was immediately ended. There are alot of blogs out there with the details of what really happened. Its sad, too, because so many Iraqis got their heads blown off thinking they actually had a chance to fight.

WOW you have no clue. Please read the thread about Iran.

You want us to ally with Iran??? THEY ARE ONE OF THE MAIN BACKERS OF THIS INSURGENCY IN IRAQ.

of course not. Hopefully their govt. will be toppled from within.

But will you support Bush if he claims they're another Iraq with a new batch of WMDs?

Afghanistan most folks can understand why we went over there, as it was OBL's playground. But in Iraq, Hussein was contained. We should've closed the Afghanistan chapter above all else, since that turd OBL is still free.

3 years later and the most sophisticated country/military in the world can't find an ailing cripple in Timbuktu. :rolleyes:

I really getting sick of all this US bashing. Lets get real.

We are fighting the scum of the earth terrorists over there, if our soldiers deem those scum as dangerous I have no problem with them destroying the terrorist. Do they show mercy when they kidnap American or any other nation's hostages? I think not.

We need to obliterate the enemy.

I bet Bush is gonna slap you on the back and say "now you're my kinda boy"

raildogg-

You really think Iran is run by the mullahs? Get a grip. The people of Iran are much more liberated from the fundementalist movements than the U.S. government paints. The radicals of that country are free to make as many threats as they want against foreigners. Aligning with the country is no different than how we align with South Korea. You want to talk about dictatorships and oppressed people well then save it for the South Koreans. Save it for the Indonesians. And save it for three-quarters of the nations on the rest of the most-favoured trading partner list.

The paranoia of dealing with terrorists has really gone overboard. The Russians were a much deadlier foe and they didn't elicit near the extreme reactions. To think we thought we were being told the truth about the Russians all these years only to find out the paper tiger wasn't real. Nor are these global terrorists. Fact is there is barely enough money in the Middle East economies to feed and water their own people. Outside the oil barons there really is very little to support the populations of those countries let alone for them to somehow fund a glorious war against the mightiest nations on the planet.

Wow I just love how we love to make statements without haveing all of the proof.
The photos do not tell the entire story and do not do anything but spread hatred.
