I supported the invasion of Afghanistan. I thought it was necessary after 911, and the superficial, emotional, vengeful side of me felt good about it. I don't espouse soveriegn nations, Bit if W was going to attack anyone, I thought that it would have made more sense if the next target had been Saudi Arabia (since 11(?) of the 19 hijackers were from SA) or Pakistan (since they were allies of the Taliban, and some of the training grounds and muslim brainwashing schools are located there, and Al-Qeada members hid there).
Now it turns out that the "liquid explosive" conspirators have links to Pakistan.
For those W and "attack Iraq" suppporters, does this change anything with regard to the need to take out Saddam?
I keep wondering when they plan to begin this "War on Terror" I keep hearing about...
I keep wondering how we're going to win a war on an emotion.
It always did strike me as a bit strange that theUS forces were intent on effecting regime change in Iraq.......rather than focussing their attention on apprehending Bin Laden.
I'm not trying to make fun of your point, really, but I will take it one step further: say we capture the boogie-man Bin Laden...so...that day the "War" would be over, right? We win! We got Bin Laden!
Well....that I doubt. I also doubt that, even with the entire US military camped outside the Boroboro Mountains, they'd have been able to find Bin Laden.
I just thought Iraq a strange detour to take a the time.
Agreed. As I said, what about the "War on Terror" ??? Any plans, re: that ???
When I looked at a map of the area, it occurred to me that after taking Afghanistan, (Well,they thought they had) they wanted Iraq, so they could do a thigh-master on Iran. :cool:
On 9/12/2001, W. placed phone calls to all the leaders in the Islamic world.
Pakistan:
W: Hi Perv, obviously we've got a new approach this morning. We have many aircraft carriers steaming towards your area. I have two questions. First, who is your new God?
Musharraf: You are.
W: Correct! And who is my new bitch?
Musharraf: That would be me.
W: You have answered the questions correctly. Those carriers will be there for another country.
Saudi Arabia:
W: King! Long time no talk to buddy.
Abdullah: We have the names and information on all the gentlemen who participated in this terrible scheme.
W: Thanks! Hey, do you have any opinions on where we should put our airbases permanently? I know you don't like them there, but see, we need 500-mile radius to all the trouble zones in the area, and no overflight worries. That means either either Turkey, Iraq, or you. You've got Mecca and Medina so obviously that ain't happening. Do you mind if we take out Hussein?
A: Well, it's a bitch, but we know sometimes these assholes just have to go. As long as it helps keep the Persians in check, go ahead.
W: Great. And we'll try to address that Palestinian thing too.
A: Inshallah, I don't really give a crap.
Afghanistan:
W: Mullah Omar, if you want any more poppy money we need to come in and take out Osama now.
O: Fuck you and the goat you rode in on.
W: OK, we will consider your proposal. We will deliver a response when we're ready. It'll take about a month.
Do you have the recordings or just the transcripts? :lol2:
And the call to Saddam:
W: Saddam (pronounced sad'-um), we haven't haven't even started an investigation into the attack yesterday, but I think you were in on it. Wanna fess up?
S: It wasn't me, man.
W: I think it was, so we're gonna kick your ass.
S: Try it, and I'll blow you up with nuclear bombs, make you sick with chemical and biological agents, and detroy your troops with phasers, photon torpedoes, and giant laser beams. The cows are already in the catapults!
W: You have nukuler weapons?
S: That's for me to know and for you to find out. Try me, sucka!
While entertaining, do you really think that would happen?
No, but the "politics of boogey-manism" is all we know...
While entertaining, do you really think that would happen?
No, I don't think Kerry has a snowball's chance.
