Where were the terrorists in Iraq when Bush and Bliar decided to invade it?

Saddam had to go and this is the front on the war on terror. We have chased them out of Afghansitan and Iraq for the most part...they have tried to move to Somalia and got pushed out by Ethopians along with US gun ships...

Well heres some progress...

Nice never seen that.

We are equally tired of reading this sh*t!

So then why didn't you quit reading it (and responding) ages ago?

 

[MrsGorilla]

Strange that I've never read anywhere of anybody linking terrorists to Iraq before the invasion, infact quite the opposite.
Perhaps you can post links.

I thought the main thing with Iraq was that everyone was certain rolleyes: ) ahead of time that they had WMD, which was heightened by the fact that Saddam denied the UN investigators access at every turn. It makes me wonder if they really didn't have any WMD, why he didn't cooperate more fully with the UN team. It would have made it a lot harder for anyone to justify invading his country.

Plus he may still be alive, but he's better off dead. I thought they beleived he moved the weapons out...but who knows.

Now as with any of these, there is a grain of truth to it, but also many flaws. I just found it humorous.

Indeed. For me the humor was found in the absurdity of the logic. ...Why, of course the Democrats intend to undo everything good going for the country. Isn't that what every leader means when they talk about change?

It makes me wonder if they really didn't have any WMD, why he didn't cooperate more fully with the UN team. It would have made it a lot harder for anyone to justify invading his country.

Granted this is pretty much a guess but... he was obviously a megalomaniac, control freak, power-hungry bastard, etc. He also had an inflated sense of grandeur... He really thought he would get away with invading Kuwait. He really thought he was calling the US's bluff in '03. He really thought he had the leverage to negotiate when he was captured.

My guess is that to him it would have been a sign of incredible weakness to acquiesce to the UN's demands. In a way it would be handing over rulership of Iraq.

Even if it wasn't like that, what if it was something as simple as an invasion of privacy? I mean, would you be inclined to let the police sift through your home without a warrant whenever they felt like it just because you had nothing to hide?

Well...if I invaded another country without provocation I probably deserve that treatment, like it or not.

Saddam had to go

Why, because he upset ol cross eye's daddy?
Bush and Bliar had absolutely no justification for this action he was no longer a threat whilst the no fly zones were enforced. The UK and the rest of the alliance were prepared to carry on for as long as required. The invasion of Iraq was fought for one reason and one reason only, OIL!

No different to Bush then

 

[dan-cat]

Where were the terrorists in Iraq when Bush and Bliar decided to invade it?

Being groomed in British mosques I suspect

 

[dan-cat]

Nice you equate the innocent deaths of children, families etc as the same as postings on the forum. Just shows how little importance one American puts on human life - you should run for president, he doesn't care how many he kills either

Col

I have to say this is pretty damn insulting

 

[Rich]

Being groomed in British mosques I suspect

Now that's what makes Americans so dangerous, they keep jumping to the wrong conclusions. They were groomed in Pakistan, by your reckoning every muslim in this country is a potential terrorist

 

[Rich]

I have to say this is pretty damn insulting

Which bit?

 

[dan-cat]

There was a US anti-war rally on the news last night, only 100 or 2 people turned up, indicating the lack of interest by the US people.

Col

There was a huge shift of power from the Republican party the other month, indicating that your supposition is worthless

 

[MrsGorilla]

Now that's what makes Americans so dangerous, they keep jumping to the wrong conclusions. They were groomed in Pakistan, by your reckoning every muslim in this country is a potential terrorist

Where does saying that terrorists were being groomed in British mosques equate to saying every British muslim is a terrorist?

No idea what's going on in your own country do you

 

[Rich]

Because all British muslims attend British mosques so one has to conclude from his statement that British mosques must be a haven for terrorists

 

[dan-cat]

...is this faulty logic day or what

 

[dan-cat]

Because all British muslims attend British mosques so one has to conclude from his statement that British mosques must be a haven for terrorists

Where did I use the term "all"
