The following statement was issued just weeks before the 9/11 attacks:
"The battle [against the U.S.] continues on the economic, political and military fields. We are convinced we will be victorious." ~Saddam Hussein Not saying he was culpable for, or had prior knowledge of, the attacks, just that he was clearly an enemy of the United States, and his actions indicated that he intended to do harm to the US and our interests in the region. This fucktard needed to be eliminated. |
|
If you want to attack every country that competes with us economically, politically and militarily, you should be prepared to triple or quadruple the size of the military with a corresponding rise in taxes and start the body bag contract as soon as possible. |
|
|
It didn't take long for a Saddam apologist to show up, did it?
|
|
Silly me, he's just trying to "compete" with us. EDIT: ANY leader that says his country will be "victorious" in ANY "battle" with the United States--be it economically, politically, or militarily--is a threat to our national security. Period. |
||
|
The Bush apologists are notably a bit slow. |
|
|
You can't be serious. |
|
|
Why don't you elaborate for us how President Bush compares to Saddam? |
||
|
It's just a "competition" you evil war monger! |
||
|
On any given day Saddam Hussein would have said something like that so it's not meaningful that he made that statement just weeks before 9/11. Although many Americans believe in the connection between Iraq and 9/11 no connection has ever been proven. Saddam Hussein wouldn't have tolerated Al Qaeda in his country because Bin Laden wanted to be the one to evict the Iraqis out of Kuwait.
|
|
Oh snap! I've become a war monger!@ I better immolate myself to show the world how peaceful I am! |
|

This is how I explain it to liberals and have yet to run into one that can make an augument against this.
A) What was the biggest reason OBL and Al Quaeda were pissed at the US? Because we had troops in their holy land of Saudi Arabia. B) Why did we have to keep troops in Saudi Arabia ? Because Saddam was honoring allmost none of the terms of the ceasefire agreement of the Gulf war and couldnt be trusted to not reinvade Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. Then I ask why Bill Clinton spend my time, money and resources to go after Bill Gates and Microsoft than OBL. Usually by this point the liberal is allmost in tears |
|
Good L-rd. Reading is fundamental:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some might argue, especially the neocons, that we had to remain in Saudi Arabia because we didn't remove Saddam Hussein or neuter him enough when we had the opportunity. |
|
|
Ahh, those evil "neo-cons!" |
||
|
yep fred |
|
|
So it's our fault bad guys like Saddam and Usama don't like us? |
|
|
I know but you're implying the first point. This is basically what the administration did on the lead up to the war. They implied a connection between 9/11 and Iraq, leaving the impression there was one, but when challenged they denied they ever explicitly made the connection. They successfully implanted the idea in the minds of Americans even though there was no proof. Even most US troops in Iraq believe there is a connection even though there's no proof and the current adminstration would say there's no proof. |
|||
|
Saddam didn't like us because we invaded his country, silly. Bin Laden didn't like us because he didn't like us. If we weren't defiling their soil he would have found some other excuse to dislike us. |
||
|
No, I'm not implying it at all. That's precisely why I added the disclaimer. You're reaching and you know it; come up with a stronger argument. Furthermore, why is that you liberals are always the first to trumpet the 9/11 Commission Report whenever you feel it is in your favor, yet you're the first to discredit or ignore it when it's not? As GBME pointed out, your beloved 9/11 Commission Report seems to draw similar conclusions as the evil "administration." Oh, and by the way, I love how you see it fit to point the finger at the evil Bush administration, when it was a joint session of Congress--including you dipshit liberals--that overwhelmingly approved the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. If you ever read the resolution--which you liberals invariably never have--you'll see that the joint session of Congress agreed with the allegations which you credit solely to the Bush administration:
|
||||
|
So you agree with Usama bin OLaden that the US was "defiling his soil?" |
|||
|
You know how a lot of you (including myself) dislike the JBT LEO folks?????.....Why do we dislike these types????.....I think its because they let the power go to their heads and in their mind, they are better than us civilians????....then they treat us like crminals at traffic stops when all we were doing was speeding........again, they think we are idiots and they should reign superior over us.......
Does this sound familiar??????.......Maybe thats why MOST of the world hates the U.S.......It seems to me we have taken this elitist, JBT attitude towards the world and now we are feeling the reprecussions. |
|
Right... |
|
|
They hate us because they envy our place in the world.....the one and only superpower. |
|
|
So there aren't any "conservatives" opposed to the war in Iraq?
|
|
There is that elitist attitude I was talking about......I knew it wouldn't take long....
I'm a Conservative and I'm against it......There's one for ya!!! |
||
|
Sure.....the word conservative covers alot of ground. Hell I'm concertered a conservative by most of my friends. |
|
|
Right on, comrade! Don't worry though, Mother Russia will be strong again, and will put a stop to the imperialist Americans! |
|
|
Funny how liberals want to disarm their fellow Americans, their friends and neighbors, but they're fine with letting other countries develop WMDs. It's ok for middle eastern countries to have as many nukes as they want, we should mind our business and stay out of it. But God forbid the family down the street has an AR locked in the closet. That's what they fear, not an attack from violent enemies that pray for our death. They are afraid the family next door might suddenly go on a killing spree without precedent.
The danger is real, there are people that want to kill us. But they don't live next door, and they aren't going to use rifles, we should be so lucky. No, they are going to use WMD when they decide to finally bring it. The libs ought to look to the sky for the objects of their fear, instead of throough the fence at the guy grilling hot dogs, or edging his lawn. |
|
There is nothing elitist about it....it's human nature. The French where not crying about it when they had the superpower status. and when the Russian where the other big guy...everybody loved us. |
||
|
Your statement maybe more true than you think.......Do you know much about history????.....Throughout history, every elitist empire has been demolished in one form or another......If the U.S. keeps up with this attitude it'll just be a matter of time. This is not something I want or hope for, its just the facts.....History repeates itself time and time again. |
|
|
Every country wants to be the top dog.....personally I would rather it be us and not the Russians or Chinese.
|
|
Why do they hate Asians? Why do they hate Africans? Why do they hate Europeans? Why do they hate Christians? Why do they hate Jews? And why does al-Qaida hate Muslims so much? The majority of the people they've killed are Muslims... |
|
|
Not sure if you were talking about me or not but I think I need to make something clear......I'm not a liberal and I LOVE ALL MY AR's/AK's/SKS's/etc...and I'll fight to the end to keep'em......I'm like you in that sense......Like I said earlier, I am a conservative who is against the war in Iraq. |
|
|
No, I was not referring to you. I meant all the anti-war, anti-gun crowd. |

OK, let's just ignore it even though it's true. I spoke with a gentleman who immigrated to the United States around 20-25 years ago, from a small South American country known as Guyana. He confided to me that when he first approached the local embassy to inquire about emigrating from Guyana to the United States, they informed him that he would have to wait at least another two years before receiving an answer. He then recounted how he returned home and, for two years, harbored an intense hatred for the United States. Why? You guessed it: because he couldn't come here. Upon revealing this last bit, everyone else present in the room (also immigrants from Guyana) echoed his sentiments. Believe it or not, America really is the greatest country in the world, and everyone else--if given the opportunity--really would come here. |

frick them all. we got the bombs. fred |

|
Would you feel better if I used the term pacifist? |
|
|
pacifist= people running demorat party fred |

Any "conservative" that opposes fighting al-Qaida and their allies can hardly call himself a conservative. In fact, I would question their loyalty as American citizens. Just like I would do the same for anyone that opposes taking the fight to our enemies and let the Jihad reach our shores once more. |
|
|
Actually I was thinking of Pat Buchannan but there's many many conservatives who oppose it for one reason or another. I would never question P.B.'s loyalty that's for sure. |
||
|
Can't argue with that. |
|||
|
I have serious doubts about how things are going |
|
|
We gotta fight them somewhere, sometime...that's a for sure...so why not fight them there, on their land?????????????????? Oh if we leave them alone, they won't bother us? Ever hear of the WTC ???? fred |

|
I would support the war and believe in the threat of terrorism if we would CLOSE THE GOD DAMN BORDER!!!!
GWB must not be worried about terrorism, cause if he was worried about terrorism HE WOULD CLOSE THE GOD DAMN BORDER! I can't believe in his sincerity until he does close the THE GOD DAMN BORDER! Our men are dieing, we are squandering billions, and terrorists can still walk right across the God damn border |
|
So , I take it you want the border closed..maybe Queen Pelosi and company will close it. fred |
