They just bit the sleeping lions balls and the lion is now very angry. Horrible incident that happened to our troops. I hope they get some serious payback.

CanuckInUSA 0 #3 December 21, 2004 QuoteHorrible incident that happened to our troops. Yes this is yet another in a series of horrible incidents and it sucks that anybody regardless of their nationality has died. The problem is, is that this is not an isolated incident and it will only continue. QuoteThese insurgents have no clue what they are bringing down on themselves. They just bit the sleeping lions balls and the lion is now very angry. Has it ever occured to you that maybe you've got the roles reversed here? Maybe the angy lion is the Iraqi insurgents and the people who angered them was GWB and his crownies? Or are you just too patriotic to recognize that this was an unjust war that GWB started?

ad151 0 #5 December 21, 2004 Very true. Although, there are other countries which suffer from genocide. We have done nothing for those countries, and the difference is the oil. That in itself is the biased element making it unjust, so unless we are going to continue making the world a better place for rich and poor countries; there are other interests at mind.

Iraq wasn't the first, and won't be the last. And, sure, it makes perfect sense when your leader is in the oil business and can lucratively benefit from his direction. Here is a better question for your concern with incurring less cost: why is it we had no major action in Iraq for months preceeding the elections and 3 days after Bush won, we had a major assault on Fallujah? You don't think that cost more money to buy him political time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of the main reasons Bush won the re-election. Let them keep possessing this mentality. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Bush was a murderous, lying, evil person who invaded a country illegally and is personally responsible for over 1K American soldier's deaths...why has he not been impeached? Why has there been no legal action placed against him? I'll let you ponder that for a while. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that those behind 9/11 should be punished. I just don't understand how Bush ended up in Iraq when he really should have been in Saudi Arabia.....

SkyDekker 1,122 #24 December 21, 2004 Looks like Mosul is the new Fallujah. Looks like the US did not make the smartest decision to let Kurdish militias take the place of Iraqi police after many refused to go back to work. I wonder if Haliburton is stretched to thin and if a new mess tent could have been built faster by another company....ohh I forget, only Haliburton is capable of building mess tents.
