Wars make the economy boom. That's why now, the documents have been released that FDR and Co. decoded the Japanese code and pretty much knew Pearl Harbor was coming. That's why all the good ships were out of the harbor on 12/7/41. FDR sacrificed the lives at the harbor as an excuse to get us into war and out of the depression and he also didn't want to alert the Japanese that we had broken their code. This is an "orgy of feel good violence" for the economists. It means more people are buying stocks and the such.

I'd say that about Rummy. "I don't remember what I said yesterday. But I know what I think and I, uh, assume that's what I said." -Donald Rumsfeld

There have been a lot of people, not just Arabs, that look to solve problems with violence. (I mean, look at LBJ and the Gulf of Tonkin event that was fabricated in order to get us into Vietnam which cost the world 58,000 Americans and 2-3 million Vietnamese) And Baggs, when I said that Joe Miller had said that he had forgiven the vast minority that called him "baby killer" he was just speaking from his own experience. He never really had people do that to him. That is what I was saying, not that it didn't happen to people. "War is over (if you want it)" - John Lennon

Double trouble. One is the Iraqi government which doesn't always tell the truth and secondly it's from CNN (what I call, the Corporate News Network) who has been busted for lying in the past. I'll await my judgment on this until I read BBC, the Guardian, etc.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asi...sia/2879343.stm Don't know the cause yet but US Central Command said it was definitely not shot down.

I am not saying that it is his only reason, but it sure beats the lies that he has fed the American public. Cheaper oil (since the strike in Venezuela, we can always use new avenues of oil) and of course the upcoming election support needed to be re-elected may not be exclusive reasons but they are most definitely prominent ones.

What do you expect from the man who sold WoMD to a f***ing dictator like Saddam?

Bush's execution of the war is in direct violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and Protocol I thereof as well. I've said it once and I will say the old Nixon quote again, "Fighting for peace is like f***ing for virginity." This entire war sickens the f*** out of me. f***ing Bush and his lying and warmongering destroying so many f***ing lives. f***ing Saddam being out of his f***ing mind and then the US selling him the f***ing weapons of mass destruction. What kind of US geniuses cooked up that plan? Piss poor foreign policy at it's finest.

I am already enraged at the deaths of the Arabs and of all the Americans that have died and been wounded so far. It sickens me that George W. Chickenhawk is using this to lower oil prices and to increase his public opinion. Support the troops, send them home.

There are weapons all over Afghanistan and the old Soviet republics that are buried all over the place that are making it onto the black market for weapons too. After the Soviet wars they were buried by the Moujhadeen for future use in the Soviet war...except that it ended.

CK, yet another thing that I agree with you on. f*** the WSI reich of mods.

I just hope the US military doesn't bomb any more chemical plants like they did in GW I since that is HIGHLY suspect in causing the dreaded Gulf War Syndrome that has killed over 9.600 troops since they have gotten back.

Reports that 6 more Marines are dead taking a bridge.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll die for your right to say it. - Voltaire

Did they give a reason for why he did it yet? I read on Reuters that they said he was "disgruntled" but that wouldn't mean somebody would go toss grenades.

I never claimed that it was innocent Iraqis being slaughtered (in the photo). I was making reference to the families of the troops and such that have paid the ultimate price. I believe the total is up to 23 or so now from my last count. These people weren't gung ho "Let's go slaughter the Iraqis!" Many were in it for the educational benefits and didn't expect that our West Texas jackass would have such piss poor diplomacy skills to get us involved in a war. These families didn't expect their children to go into war and lose their children because of our moronic chickenhawk "president". That is terrorism. This war has destroyed the lives of the troops lost and decimated the families of our own troops...let alone the Iraqi families of troops we have killed. Rampant death and destruction and the horror it leaves is always terrorism, no matter what the cause of it. It's all human life.

This is terrorism: This is "Shock and Awe": Or is it the other way around....I can't see a difference, I'm confused.

Hahaha, CK that sign in your signature is f***ing great. I always advocated putting big poofy hair on all the social problems in the world cuz then maybe he would pay attention to them (Monica and all those other women all had big poofy hair, haha) Although, he did leave a report in Jan. 2001 saying that Al Qaeda was up to something huge. Cheney said he'd make a task force. Cheney didn't....he didn't even read the report.

Call me cynical, but I'd say our next one will be Iran. We already have the troops mobilized there...and hey, they have oil.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,276...,919832,00.html Missing journalists may have come under friendly fire and hit. According to the Guardian, "Ten US soldiers wounded in grenade attack. Ten US soldiers were wounded early on Sunday in a grenade attack on a rear base camp of the US 101st Airborne Division, a US military spokesman said. A spokesman for the division's home base in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, said that "one or more terrorists" had thrown hand grenades into a tent at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait near the Iraqi border. Six of the casualties sustained serious injuries in the attack, which also involved small arms, fire, US military officials said. The attack was the fourth against Americans in Kuwait since October."

Glad to see the WSI crew back up to their old old practices.

Haha, I love Fark's photoshops. This one is twice as nice because it has to to with the White Sox.

SUCK! :fyou Notre Dame Hahaha, yet another thing we can agree on CK.

I am just saying the reasoning the Nazis gave during the Nuremburg tribunals...it was their logic, not mine. They were trying to justify their imperialism and at the same time try to make themselve look a bit more blameless. We've said that we are fearful that he'll sell weapons and the such. The Bush administration has said numerous times that we are doing this for "homeland security purposes".

He said that he forgave the very slim minority that called them "baby killers" etc. Especially after everybody found out that the Gulf of Tonkin event never happened, it made people more angry at the US government than anything they did (at least that was his experience). He's been able to help people turn their anger towards people who served into anger towards the government for lying to the public and condemning the government for the death of 58,000 Americans and the 2-3 million Vietnamese all over an event that never took place. I support the troops a lot. It saddens me that they are being used to die while our Commander in Thief sits in his office lying to the American public about "proof" that Iraq has weapons, "proof" that Iraq is tied to Al Qaeda. It sickens me that Dubya is trying to lie his way into making people sacrifice their bodies and their lives for a war. I support the troops a lot, enough to bring them home from a place where even the neighboring countries aren't afraid of Saddam. I support the troops but I am wholeheartedly against the deployment of them in this area under the pretexts given by the Bush administration. If anybody doesn't care about the troops, it's Bush because he is allowing them to die under his command and is justifying it with lies about Iraq. Makes me sick to my goddamned stomach. Especially since Bush can find it in his heart and mind to unapologetically send young people off to die in the military and when it was his time to serve, he went AWOL like a little chickenhawk.
