    I'm here to voice my support of the US troops doing the right thing in Iraq. You have my support and God Bless America. Go kick some booty, and liberate Iraq for the benefit of its poor citizens who have long suffered under Saddam. This should have been done long ago, but unfortunatly Clinton had no backbone and too many Monika problems. Thank God George Bush is taking us in the right and moral path. Thank you Mr. Bush, and our allies the British and Aussies who are helping us with this effort. Tony Blair and John Howard, you are wonderful, and I thank you all for helping the US troops liberate Iraq.

    I'm not going to a pro-war no-war debate. Quite frankly its a little late to argue. I support the British troops out there, they are the teeth behind the politics. They may not agree with the war, but like it or lump it they are out there prepared to die for the leaders of our country's ideals. Because that is their JOB. When I saw the wide angle shot of a British battle unit, tanks and all, I did feel proud that they are out there, and frankly, whether or not they have WMD, the Iraqi army lacks the crucial element to its force. I can't put a name to it, maybe its skill/presence/determination, I don't know. But the tactical brilliance of the british, and american, armed forces on an individual level are a force to be rekoned with. They have my support and I am proud of them all.

          I just voted a 1 for lack of thinking. Everyone has their own little (or not so) agenda and to paint this as all so wonderful. Remember, the US sold the chemicals used to make the poison gas used against Iranian civilians. The tigress is here :-D

            Too bad all those poor kids are going out to risk their lives for Dubya's trumped-up, meaningless war. Wish I know what was going on, honest to Gawd. But this clearly has nothing to do with liberating people or fighting terrorism. www.votetoimpeach.org

            How do you figure that it "clearly has nothing to do with liberating people or fighting terrorism"? I'd say it has a little bit to do with all of that. As well as a little something to do with the fact that Saddam doesn't give a rip about any security council declarations and does whatever he pleases. As far back as 1996 we knew that he had biological and chemical weapons as well as terrorist training camps in Iraq. Unfortunately the U.N. and the U.S. administration care.

                                  I hate to break the news to you guys, but practically every major European nation and many Asian and nations also armed Iraq. Legend used in this list: A = nuclear program, B = bioweapons program, C = chemical weapons program, R = rocket program, K = conventional weapons, military logistics, supplies at the Iraqi Defense Ministry and the building of military plants. After the list of US firms are these remarks: "In addition to these 24 companies home-based in the USA are 50 subsidiaries of foreign enterprises which conducted their arms business with Iraq from within the US. Also designated as suppliers for Iraq's arms programs (A, B, C & R) are the US Ministries of Defense, Energy, Trade and Agriculture as well as the Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories."

                                    yeah. Try explaining abstraction and polymorphism to a Mainframe Natural/Cobol programmer. That's what we are doing here. X|

                                      How do you figure that it "clearly has nothing to do with liberating people or fighting terrorism"? I'd say it has a little bit to do with all of that. As well as a little something to do with the fact that Saddam doesn't give a rip about any security council declarations and does whatever he pleases. As far back as 1996 we knew that he had biological and chemical weapons as well as terrorist training camps in Iraq. Unfortunately the U.N. and the U.S. administration care.

The CIA says Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11; his payments to Palestinian suicide bomber's families is more a publicity stunt than anything. tidge wrote: As well as a little something to do with the fact that Saddam doesn't give a rip about any security council declarations and does whatever he pleases.

Unfortunately the U.N. and the U.S. administration care. See, that's when I start wondering who to believe. We "knew" he was trying buy uranium from Nigeria; except that turned out to be a ploy by .. British intelligence, if I remember. We "knew" that Iraq was throwing babies out of incubators after invading Kuwait.. except that that, too, turns out to be a lie. And _this_ list - the list of lies and coverups involved in this whole Iraq affair - just goes on and on. So excuse me if I can't see any rational reason for this war.

The US is doing the same now. Nothing has changed. The desire of the US to have an alliance with Turkey, which tortures and murders members of its Kurdish population shows how nothing has changed.
