Who thinks Bush is #*&$(#^ stupid for bombing Iraq?

[Usul]

You don't even have any more the potential you had in 1991. Confirmed by Fred Franks Jr, CINC of the 7th ACR.
And will take a hell of a long time to get there. Not even speaking about the fact that this time Saudi Arabia won't be paying for the gas....

 

[Usul]

*one of the non american allies*

You know what? the problem is that if you make that thinf to shield yourself, you'll be safe from nukes, and thils will make yyou more likely to use em ... You'll be safe...

And the equal terror that has been keeping peace with russia will fall.
Obviously Russia will jump on your side as soon as China gets hot, but the concept remains...

 

[GreenBeret]

Usul..
ACR=Aerial Combat Regiment
CINC=Commander in Chief
right? BTW, you're not making too much sense that I see, but then i could be blind?

 

[Usul]

ARC= Armored Chivarly Regiment.
M1A2, Abrams, heavy stuff.
They're the ones thet closed from the side over the Republican Regiment of Saddam.

Bombing Iraq is only adding fuel to the fire. Add this recent development to the already tense political situation in the Mideast due to the election of Sharon in Israel & we may see another significant oil price increase.

What is even more disturbing is the continual pushing of the Arab world towards Russia. Watch for a stronger alliance between Russian & radical Arab states. We are poking at a tiger & one day we will regret our politically biased aggression towards those who control our economic lifeblood....... oil.

Anyone ever hear of Armageddon?

 

[Emulex]

we should just nuke the whole damn country, being wussies to terrorist nations is pointless.

we didnt take crap from japan for their stupidity in world war II, why should we become weak at the knees now.

 

[Asha'man]

hmmmz I can't remember but what 20 yrs ago or so didn't Saddam get a lot of high-tech weapons and $$$ from somewhere to beat up Iran?

Nah I can't remember where it came from

[airfoil]

No!

 

[wxman]

Bush just did himself in.

Every Persident elected in a year that ends in ZERO, ie. 2000, going back to Lincoln in 1860, has be shot at... or dies while in office.

Hummm, who now has motive? Who would like to avenge Desert Storm... daddys war?

Bush had better watch his six.

 

[limsandy]

Hey, if you decide to kick the French, then we won't get to eat French Fries anymore.

 

[limsandy]

Ah, wait a minute
You can always rename it to American Fries........ anyone?

 

[Stealth1024]

Listen you idiots, we attacked Iraq because they were shooting at our planes! In reality, we are still fighting the Gulf War, so let's just in there and nuke the whole !@#$ country and be done with it.

 

[Usul]

If you kick frnch Ass ( I guess no nukes) you'll crash NATO, and make the UE finally work toghether. Russia will be on UE side too, as well as China and all thse hot countries on middle east. Say bye bye to oil frm everything but possibly Q8.
Also UE and will coalize and put back all the old Russian stuff, as well as the German and england weapons.
Also, you'll freak out all the ones that hate you, and they're growing in the young generations. Not even speaking about nukes.

 

[Usul]

<< Though the French probably would surrender in a hour >>




They didn't to hitler, why they should with you?Any european nation attaked by US would have total support from the others, and probably russia and every other ntiona that hates US, as I said.

BTW, woudn't be really nice....

 

[Redwingsguy]

WHAT? When did Bush become pres??

 

[skywhr]

Last I checked and I could be wrong cause I havent followed the story that closely, it was British and US planes. Im having a hard time comprehending how this is Bush's fault...


cnn

 

[Usul]

You mean Bush MERIT, right?

 

[Zach]

We need to get rid of Sadaam and install a US friendly dictator like the good old days... okay well maybe we could send in Carter to make 'em a republic then.

 

[Usul]

Some countries just can't handle freedom....
And the penttagon needs something to say to support the new weapons programs...

 

[compuwiz1]

The only problem I see, is that we didn't finish the job.

 

[Moonbeam]

Mercat says,&quot;Bombing Iraq is only adding fuel to the fire. Add this recent development to the already tense political situation in the Mideast due to the election of Sharon in Israel &amp; we may see another significant oil price increase.&quot;, but did you ask yourself who benefits from high oil prices and then ask who Bush's friends are?

 

[monckywrench]

What's really special about this attack? The cat and mouse game in the No Fly Zones has been going on since 1991, and it was inevitable that Iraq would upgrade its tactics. You don't really expect aircrew who are illuminated by ground radar to just ignore it and hope the missles launched with its aid miss? Radars within the zones were routinely hit with HARMs (Highspeed Anti-Radiation Missiles) so it made sense to move them north. The previous Administration should have ordered them taken out. Now that the world has forgotten completely about Iraq invading Kuwait, there is an amazing rush to suck up to them. Such sucking (including billions in help from Kuwait)failed wretchedly before Iraq invaded Kuwait in the first place! Containment is not an emotionally satisfying way of doing business, but it has worked in the case of the former Soviet Union and on the Korean peninsula.
BTW Usul, the French DID surrender (after about six weeks of fighting)to Hitler in 1940, and the Vichy collaborationist regime even fought against the Allied invasion of North Africa. Rent a copy of Marcel Ophuls &quot;The Sorrow and the Pity&quot; sometime for more amusing details. The French Army pulled up its skirts and ran for the Channel, and the French women pulled up their skirts and ran for the Germans. (There were thousands of heroic Resistance fighters, and the Free French under Charles DeGaulle. Too bad they had to fight so many of their own countrymen.)

The answer is disturbingly familiar.
