The Idiot Prince Will Have His War

[Sushi X]

most of those countries who have dick for a military and economy.

a few are good, denmark, netherlans, japan, uk, turkey spain, australia and maybe the czech republic. the rest have no wothwhile econom, any state militia could hold ground to the rest of those military wise.

you forgot to add israel, though they will do it from the sidelines.

i still see no justification for this war. i know the arguments but is war really the asnwer. you all who support it seem excited about it. you would'nt be too excited if you were over there. when it's not you in danger it's all fun and games but when the tide turns it's a different story.

I'd like to see what kind of money those countries got for publicly supporting the war.

 

[Frackal]

p0ink you say it doesnt mattr if those little countries oppose us, but it matters if they support us? ps responded to you on my thread too bro, go look

oh, i see how it is. you make fun of these small countries for not having a large powerful army, but yet you liberals were trying to force us to ask countries like cameroon and guinea (which only has electricity 3 days a week from midnight-6am) for their OK to protected ourselves.

makes a lot of sense.

ah. but how do we know that the next guy to run the show won't be as murderous as saddam? after all, when saddam was our good buddy, he was still murderous then, no? The only difference between the 80's and now is that saddam is now on our bad side.

my point is, it's a joke that all of a sudden that our government is worried about the people of iraq? Why are we worried now all of a sudden? and since when did we get into the business of liberating everyione? Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see everyone get liberated from murderers like saddam. but somehow I don't think that's going to happen.

SADDAM IS IN A PECULIAR POSITION WHEN IT COMES TO OIL. I'M QUITE SURE THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT ALSO.

frightening reading. destabilisation of the reigon is a very potent anti-war arguement

Yes. God forbid we destabilize the rock like stability of the middle east. lol. Destabilize the middle east?? Do you realise what you said?

I KNOW this, but I'm addressing the whole, "lets liberate the poor iraqi citizens" excuse, which is a load of crap.

Re: Re: The Idiot Prince Will Have His War

THIS IS NOT A UNILATERAL INVASION!!!

here is a list of countries that are *publicly* supporting the US war with:

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Britain, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Turkey and Uzbekistan.

which of these countries is supplying troops for the invasion? because, correct me if I'm wrong, but publicly supporting an invasion and taking part in the invasion are two very different things.

was'nt picking on those countries but merely stating the fact that they have no real power. it's good they support us but what significant power do they really have. us liberals? come on p0ink, have'nt you learned yet i, like many, keep myself seperate from most on the left and even those of us in the middle. you conservatives think we should be able to do what ever we wish no matter the cost. iraq is not an immediate threat to the united states. don't feed me this link to bin ladin rhetoric, there's no proof, so where is the threat? attacking israel? not my problem, like someone said, frack or nature, they have'nt committed any troops to help us in times past so why should we send half or 3/4 of our military half way around the world to fight and die for them when they do jack for us?

Key point....

We have had our course charted now, and the military option is all the US ruling class really has to maintain its dominance.

Sheeple, this is the main point!

It's not GW's war! Those who wield the power are above our government and they want this. The ruling class is not the Republicans, the Democrats, or the people in office, it's the wealthy powerbrokers. This war is going to profit them big time at the expense of everyone else.

That Saddam is a threat that sooner or later needs dealing with is just a convienent target. That's why it's a no-win situation. Even if we held back until he was a big enough threat that nobody questioned it, the same results could happen, and the same "ruling class" would benefit from it.
