I for one am ashamed and embarrassed that he is the President of the country I live in. What makes the whole event terrifying is that he has so much power. It is more than likely he will strike Iraq, and claim a moral victory. Interesting behavior from the son of one of the dirtiest CIA heads in history. How far can that apple fall from the tree? And what comes next? People keep talking about regime change, but I have yet to hear a cogent plan.

The fact remains though - without Bush's tough talk of war - the UN would NOT have been talking about sending inspectors into Iraq and Iraq would not be talking about LETTING them in. We have not as of yet invaded Iraq - there is still no guarantee we will. I think a lot of this is show to tell the world that we are serious - we want results. We don't want anymore pussy footing around from the world community on the issue. If you're going to deal with it - deal with it; if not - we will. That is basically what he told the UN - in addition to telling them that it was time for them to prove that they were not irrelavent.

The plans are still in the works. People were complaining about all this stuff two months ago. There is no plan there is no plan, he's not going to the UN, he's not talking to our allies. Well he did go to the UN, he has been talking to our allies. Plans are being worked out. I'm waiting to hear what the proposals are too - but I guess I'm a little more patient - because I don't really think that we're planning on attacking Iraq tomorrow. Even three - four months ago many of you felt that we were going to invade Iraq any day now. I said to wait then and I think we should wait now. But as I said - if you don't like the direction - then write to your Congressmen and local politicians and write to Bush. (that of course only relates to American citizens, international mooters will just have to write to their own governments)

By the way - we really got tired of the blasting from the French about our culture invading theirs - so France is next on the invasion schedule. They deserve it for protesting against Euro-Disney and ransacking McDonalds (not that McDonalds doesn't do a HUGE business in France - they just won't admit it) Next would be Germany - since they bought out Chrysler. Finally England - all the other countries in Europe are small potatoes. Of course we do still need to make Canada a territory or commonwealth similar to Puerto Rico. That way they only get one non-voting representative in Congress and can't pollute the US with their socialist programs. See there are plans under the works - we just haven't relayed them to you yet.

Also - the compromise isn't even out there yet - so who knows what that might contain. I think it SHOULD include tough talk and mention the possibilty of military action if Iraq does not comply. Tough talk is the only thing Hussein understands, it's what's getting the weapons inspectors back in there in the first place. Maybe if he realises that WE are serious - he will let the weapons inspectors do their job (highly doubtful). Quote:

This is sort oif interesting. ABCNews has the same exact article on their web site crediting it to the Associated Press.

When I first read it - I thought it was a Canadian Press article, so I went to ABCNews to see what they had on about the UN Resolution compromise and if they had anything additional to say or how they presented the story. I was surprised when I started reading it and it was the same article, but credited to the AP. Maybe I'm wrong about the way the Associated Press works - but I would think that all news organisations that publish an AP article must keep the Associated Press copyright there. I think local newspapers print the copyright somewhere on the inside front cover and then just use the "(AP)" throughout the newspaper for articles that originate from them. ABCNews carries a lot of news items supplied from various sources - but you always know where they come from. They keep the originator's copyright notice with the article. By the way - the Associated Press International Headquarters is in New York. Here is there faq page - The most frequently asked questions about The Associated Press. In it it states - Quote:
On it's Fact and Figures page it contains... Quote:
I know - nothing to do with Iraq- but I thought it was interesting. I wonder how many people read AP articles on the web thinking they are coming from a non-American source.

Yeah I knew that article was from the associated press, it just happened to be the one I was reading when I realised I was being pushed for time so I slapped it in here..
There's a slightly different view on the same story if anyone is interested http://www.albawaba.com/news/index.p...ang=e&dir=news I could post more links and articles but I'm sure everyone is capable of using their search engines and forming their own opinions JD even you cannot upset me today..........potentialy the biggest war-monger since Adolf Hitler has been stopped in his tracks |

Oh yeah - George Bush is really comparable to Adolf Hitler. I guess we were actually planning the take over of Europe. Just think - if 9/11 didn't happen and Al Qaeda just continued to be bombing American targets oversees - we wouldn't be talking about Iraq right now. Americans would not be supporting the overthrow of Iraq - or at the very least it would have taken A LOT more convincing. When terrorist fly a plane into Parliament - you let me know what kind of action you are willing to take to overthrow these type of governments. I know - there is no proof that America has presented to the world concerning the link between Iraq and Al Qaeda. It doesn't mean that there isn't a link and it doesn't mean that their won't be down the road. We waited for Al Qaeda to make it's first true move against the US and they killed 3,000 people and wiped out more office space than all the city of San Diego. We won't wait for the first attack again.

This is not true for me. I have never hated Americans, nor the country. Sure, some have managed to irritate the hell outta me.... but I'm easily irritated. And (don't shoot me for this) but I thought Clinton did a pretty good job. I think Bush jnr is an idiot. Quite possibly the biggest idiot out. Not quite happy with taking away the rights of women (abortion policies) he's gone a step further and actually placed himself in a rather war mongering position. What he fails to realise is that waging war is only going to stir up the ants nest more. Many of these so-called Axis of Evil (what a name!) countries are now taking more positive steps to arm themselves because of the perceived American threat. I'll say it again: I don't hate the American people, but I intensely dislike your administration. Quote:

So is America planning on dealing with the whole of the "axis of evil" the same way it had intended on dealing with Iraq? If so then PLEASE be careful, one of those countries has just announced it has nuclear capability .......... all these years america was looking in the wrong direction.......quite amazing I sincerely hope Bush isn't on planning invading Europe (checks atlas for any "axis of evil" stamps)but he has named more countries he is willing to go to war with more countries than any other leader since 1945 JD you can upset me very easily.......offer some proof to back up your statements and I'll be devasted...........honest I will Last edited by osszie : 10-17-2002 at 03:22 PM. |
