Saddam was in bed with the UN regarding "Oil For Food" program which the UN and European nations which were providing him arms are trying desperately to suppress. 

 

Have posted before and since you seem to be thin and keep asking the same question about the WMD's our intelligence and also Israeli intelligence both of which are the best in the world tracked trucks going out of Iraq into Syria and Lebanon where the WMD's are buried. Try updating yourself as to factual reports. We... [ More ]

I know I can't convince you of my stance and you can't convince me of yours. It has been good to debate with you and make logical arugments and not just make baseless arguments. I for one will be happy on Wedenesday (assuming we have a winner) because I am suffering from the pre-election anxiety syndrome. I will not be happy if John Kerry wins but I will be glad that is it over.

The president has the right to act unilaterally to protect us. To respond to dangers to our country. Iraq never attacked us. Iraq wasn't a threat to us. Yes Saddam was a horrible person and yes the world is better with him and his sons out of power and dead. But the world being better isn't the same as America being safer. I don't remember making the world a better place as a reason the President gave the country for going to war. I would contend that if he had said that's why we went ther... [ More ]

If you don't like what I'm posting or writing then don't read it. Go somewhere else more to your liking. 

 

In so far as hating Kerry, I don't hate the man. 

 

I've listened to Kerry's words, watched him and as a human being I simply do Not Trust Kerry. I I don't trust him, he isn't someone I trust to lead this nation one hour much less four years because of his Betrayals in the past.

Kerry: George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity. 

 

We did use diplomacy. George Bush spoke in front of the United Nations in 2002 and told them Saddam Hussein should be held accountable and that existing U.N. resolutions should be upheld. After that I believe the U.N. passed one or two more resolutions that Saddam Hussein chose to ignore. Sanctions were not working. But all of this talk about diplomacy is a moot point becaus...

Have innocent Iraqis died since the war started? Yes!. But to equate the death of Iraqis to what happened on 9/11 is ridiculus. Those Iraqis weren't killed intentionally like our citizens were. As I said in a post a few weeks ago if Iraqis are being intentionally killed it is being done by other Muslims, not Americans. Which makes us totally different from the terrorists and there no way you can compare what is happening to Iraqis and what happened to Americans on 9/11.

I find it appaling that you seem to think that the deaths of 3000 american civilians is so horrible yet for every death we suffered on 9/11 between 3 and 33 iraqis have died (the military can't be bothered to try and keep track). To me that is more horrible because it didn't need to be. We went to war for the wrong reasons and worse yet we have done it in the wrong way. It's almost as if the Bush administration conducted a study on how NOT to fight the war and went with that plan.... [ More ]

"We need to disarm Saddam Hussein." And he believed that. The Bush administration trotted out all kinds of evidence that there was a real danger. Of course what we know now was that while they trotted out all that evidence for their position they ignored all the evidence to the contrary. 

 

"It's the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time." And it is. It was justified wrongly, waged wrongly, and has nothing to do with fighting terrorists, at least it didn't when we starte... [ More ]

What is there to understand about their motivations? We are supposed to understand their motivations for killing 3000 innocent civilians. There is nothing to understand about that because there are no justifications for it. So no I don't want to understand their motivations. All I know is that they want to kill as many Americans as they can and for that not too happen they need to be dealt with aggressively. At no time ever for no good reason did we lob some cruise missles into a skyscraper full of innocent civilians just to kill as many Arabs as we could. They wanted this war we didn't. But since they started it we must finish it by ridding the world of these type of people.... [ More ]

John Kerry is committed to finishing the job in Iraq right. Because we don't have any choice anymore. We turned Iraq into exactly what we were trying to fight, a haven for terrorism. 

 

Yes there was popular support for Iraq in the beginning. I personally was against it because I didn't believe that it was as great a threat as it was made out to be. But there was popular support. What have we learned since then though? We learned that the intelligence used to justify the attack was... [ More ]

When John Kerry went to Vietnam he thought he could use his service as an asset for an eventual political career. The Vietnam war wasn't as unpopular at the time. But a few years later the war became unpopular he used that political wind to change his tune about his service in Vietnam and became opposed to the war. He did the same when it came to the war in Iraq. For years he talked about how Saddam Hussein was a threat and he should be disarmed. After 9/11 the support for a war in Iraq wa... [ More ]
