I wish that everyone could see this in thier paper tomorrow morning instead of the anti-war demonstrator pictures that we are all gonna see. I wish that all of our wonderful men and women in uniform could get this very message from us instead of the anti-war propaganda that they are gonna here on the news. Very good post BBQ man. I just hope that everyone who reads this takes it to heart and stands behind this great country as we lead the effort to bring a modern day government and civilization to people that need our help. May God be with our forces as they work to bring peace.

No doubt about who the Clinton supporter is. Maybe someone from the liberal state of California? Sorry, but most people on the left coast think differently then people in most of the rest of the country. I'm not saying Sadam is the only one we should be after. What should we do wait and see if he uses the wepons we know he has? Im sorry but I think we can't afford to not act now. Ten years of telling the world to go screw themselves is enough. Lets just see what we find after we get in. Then the French, and the Chicks and...oh forget it, there are some topics that friends should not discuss. Sorry if I offended anyone. I get very emotional about this topic. God I love this country!

"AWESOME POST"
Thank You, We will need to remember in the days ahead


I made a few CD's "TO ALWAYS REMEMBER" I can say this old man cried for weeks and months over it. Those Mother ****ers attacked "ME" and "MY City" that day, Those Mother ****ers attacked "US" "ALL OF US" that day. I lost my childhood friend Jackie in it, an old neighbors Dad, and lots of friends friends.

We allowed this to happen because we allow freedom.
We allow ANYONE INTO OUR COUNTRY.
We allow the wrong people into our country, thats why it's free.

They are not people, the children are not innocent,
AND THEY MUST DIE, or we will be pissed on forever.
LET THE WAR BEGIN

AND BTW
WATCH YOUR BACK FRANCE

Disclaimer:
I love French People
They do that thing with their tongue
I'm talking French Goverment
NOT FRENCH PEOPLE

This pisses me off beyond belief. First of all, the statement is plainly false, but its not that. I hate people like you because what you do is stir up mob mentality in people. It sounds right and it provides a scapegoat for the people and they get riled up and before you know it, you genocide a nation thats innocent, hmmm where have we seen this before? Like 50 years ago when germany nearly wiped a culture off the earth. When people like you stir others up they act without thinking and then people die, i hope your happy when you have their blood on your hands.

Firstly, i hate anti-war protester's so please dont get me wrong. But that doesnt mean im not opposed to the war per se. I think its just about time we quit bsin our selves and think that this is about revenge or making a nation safer. Its about money, thats it, get over it. Behind every action there is a person in pursuit of cash, 99 out of 100 questions is money. But hey, fact is Iraq is a country full of people controlled by a dictator that oppesses them so if we can rid that and liberate that lives of people and score some cash while were at it, thats fine in my book.

Too all the protesters, get a damn job, im sorry you gave up your right to voice your opinions when you let big business and big governments take over our lives. I really dont feel weve been in a true democracy for a very long time, at least since the cold war, business fund candidates (not saying there arent those of you out there that support your candidate, all the power to you, but go check our vote percentage) and for the most part Americans seemed to be swayed by things other than the issues when it comes to the elected officials. When you dont vote based on what you believe, or vote because someone told you thats the right person to belive in, then youve lost your right to complain.

As for S.cal L. Yeah this is a great country and if you live here its wonderful. I love this place from coast to coast. But its really easy to hate if your not here. All you have to do is the numbers, 250 million or so people in this country. If you do the math i think that puts us slightly below %4. But were taking nearly %40 of the pie (in terms of GDP). Beyond that more than %90 of the pie is taken by about 13 countries that make up less than %20 of the world population. So how must life be for the rest. No disrespect to the people who died at the WTC on sept 11. They were innocent, and their deaths solved nothing and did nothing to help. But more kids die each day of neglect or starvation or just plain abuse than people died at WTC. But screw them right? Just kids. Tack on the fact that we as a country to alot of harm out there in foriegn lands. We produce things that make cancer, but we wont do it hear because its illegal, but heaven forbid we try to develop non cancerous solutions, go to other countries. Last i checked we pulled about 20,000 kids in each year for either drug traffiking or orgran havesting, not too good on our track record. Check how many things in your house are made in another country, and then think about the work conditions in those countries. How much blood goes into your home.

In all Sept 11 was no surpise to me, i know its only a matter of time before the masses out there try to get at us in here. Unfortunatly the actions were taking outside are much like the ones we take inside. Much like expanding police (no offense to the boys in blue, your job is hard, your underpaid, and you get all the respect from me for what you provide, its not you, its your boss) in poor minority neighborhoods to stop crime, were sending troops to die to put a band aid on the problems. Instead we shouldnt be curing the symtoms, we should be curing the cause. Why would a country hate us if we werent doing somethign to them? Why would a 16 year old boy kill a child? Solve the causes and the rest will work itself out.

Ok, im sure ive pissed off a good number of people but i want to make it clear, i am an american, i love this country, i love our ideals, and i hope and dream more than anything else i do for a better world for everyone. And im very seriuos about that, i spend hours reading and studying hoping to find a way that this world can work out for the better. I write easily about this because i do it a lot. I try to get people to wake up instead of being drones for personal gains. I know i am very opinionated and you dont have to believe what i believe but I hope some of you at least give it some thought. So i hope i havent pissed of anyone too much. Best of luck to people on the front line (ive got friends there myself), lets hope for a good outcome and watch the FF.

I welcome arguements but please make them intelligent, i dont need "your a dumbass." yeah i know. Wow, this turned out really long, time for a

You must be stuck on stupid...

First of all,. Iraq is JUST as much to blame for Al Queda as Afghanistan.

The Pakistanis gov'd has done MORE to catch these terrorist then any other country They have theeee best intelligence in that particular part of the world.

Bin Laden is supported by Hussien. Plain and simple. You not only capture those who have harmed our motherland since 1993, you remove the modern day Hitler out of power.

Policing Iraq and Iran means PEACE in the middle east. When Israel stops getting screwed with, everything will mellow out.

This war is necessary and anyone who thinks differently should go take a tour of the hole known as ground zero. I spent 3 months removing chared bodies and fragments of body parts.. What were you doing?

Actually, the oil belongs to the ragheads over there.

We just get a better deal per barrel by assisting them, hint hint.

Gas will come down once we secure iraq.

Wow...

According to what i read here the conflict is all about money. And all of the worlds problems are caused by the fact that 20% of the people make - produce - generate 90% of the worlds products and there for 80% of the money. Sounds like the solution is to take from the wealthy and give to the poor.

That will solve all the worlds problems.. Easy enough... Lets do it.... Who is first ? Everyone who reads this is in the top 5-10% or so of the worlds income bracket. From now on you will be working even harder but will have to sell your house, your Lightning and most everything else since we will be redistributing your wealth to the folks who need it more than you...

That will do GREAT things for productivity ....



Its not about failure to comply with UN resolutions, its not about using weapons of mass destruction on your own people, its not about ruling a country based on assassination, intimidation and murder, its not about supporting financing and promoting terrorism, its about Oil and Money... Geesh you guys amaze me.
This guy but his rivals through a grinder feet first. The vast income disparity was mentioned as a cause for the worlds problems. Have you seen Saddam's house ? You think he got that from hard work ? From doing great things for his country ?

Ok I have to stop now.... Before the vein in my head explodes...

Doug

Heres my questions-

Wny would Bin Laden need Saddams support when it has been known that Bin Laden is a multi millionaire?

If Saddam has all these WOMD then that means he is probably going to use them on us when we kick this war off. We are going in there to remove him from power so isnt he going to throw everything he has against us? What happens if no WOMD are used? Does that mean he doesnt have them like he has been claiming or just decided not to use them?

I sit on the fence on this war issue. I dont have the "nuke em, let God sort em out mentality" and I dont have the "no war for oil" mentatility either.

I did just read that when we liberate Iraq, one of the companies that will get all the contracts for all the upgrading of the oil refineries is Halliburton. And Halliburton was once run by Mr **** Cheney. Things like this make me second guess our motives.

I do see a need to rid the work of dictators like Saddam. I just dont want to see a bunch of boys killed and alliances with other countries broken for something called the "war on terrorism" when that is not the agenda.
