OT - Bush's War
 

Let's see -- Two Marines killed so far.

One was killed trying to secure an oil pumping station.
The other was killed in an attack on an oil port.

Tell me again -- what is this war about?

Re: OT - Bush's War
 

You're right, OT it is, so keep it to the appropriate forum.

If you don't understand what the war is about, you are probably just not
capable of it, so you might as well stop trying.

Maybe that's why they were brought into it... to die, so the bushie boys stay alive.

I recommend Nordic Jet Line. Last summer I took the "Linda Line" boat
from Helsinki to Tallinn and it was terrible -- dirty, noisy, hot, and
generally unpleasant. So, for my return trip, I changed to Nordic Jet
and it was like night and day. The boat is a bit slower (it takes cars
too), but much more pleasant.

Re: OT - Bush's War
 

Maybe you could help us out with some info on it...
Most of the explanations about reasons for this war are not more than
crap. It is certainly easier to sell some idea to somebody telling him
that it's good for the population of Iraq (the surviving part...) if the
rulers (let's limit it to just a couple of nations...) of the free
world come to "help" this country (and by the same occasion get hold on
some oil...) and chase Saddam and his gang. GWB and his gang never tried
or maybe thought about a peaceful solution (and by the same occasion
splitted up the rest of the world...) and just spend billions of $
moving troops and stuff to the other side of the world.
As this guy always says "May God bless..." about everybody but himself
and his gang...

In order to secure re-election in 2004, the Bush - Rumsfelt - Cheney-clique
will need another war in the summer of that year. Who are the likely
candidates? Iran? Cuba? North Korea? Probably Iran, because Cuba and North
Korea don't have much oil.
Or perhaps, if they are lucky, OBL will attack again around that time and
they don't need a war for re-election.

C'mon Magda, there's also:

- Demonstrating their almighty military firepower (perhaps scaring off
future terrorist attacks?)
- Establishment of another US controlled state in the middle east
- Toppling an old foe that probably has plenty of dirt on the US regime
- Setting up a base to intimidate Iran, Palestine, and anyone else in the
area they don't like
- Demostrating that the US rules this world, and no-one is going to stand in
the way
- Distracting the US public from a failing economy and various other
domestic issues
- Testing the strength of what world peace there has been up till now

Chin up, it's not so bad!

You mean that we didn't see enough of the "military power" during the Golf War ? And
that's why 11 Sept. happened ? ;-))

It's a circus... Not the lions/gladiators kind - the other one. :-(

Now for a few facts....

'You're late. What took you so long? God help you become victorious'

'I want to say hello to Bush, to shake his hand'

James Meek in Safwan
Saturday March 22, 2003
The Guardian

Yesterday afternoon a truck drove down a side road in the Iraqi town of
Safwan, laden with rugs and furniture. Booty or precious possessions? In a
day of death, joy and looting, it was hard to know.
As the passengers spotted European faces, one boy grinned and put his thumb
up. The other nervously waved a white flag. The mixed messages defined the
moment: Thank you. We love you. Please don't kill us.

US marines took Safwan at about 8am yesterday. There was no rose-petal
welcome, no cheering crowd, no stars and stripes.

Afraid that the US and Britain will abandon them, the people of Safwan did
not touch the portraits and murals of Saddam Hussein hanging everywhere. It
was left to the marines to tear them down. It did not mean there was not
heartfelt gladness at the marines' arrival. Ajami Saadoun Khlis, whose son
and brother were executed under the Saddam regime, sobbed like a child on
the shoulder of the Guardian's Egyptian translator. He mopped the tears but
they kept coming.

"You just arrived," he said. "You're late. What took you so long? God help
you become victorious. I want to say hello to Bush, to shake his hand. We
came out of the grave."

I know facts are tough to swallow for this group but look at the source of
this story. The Guardian ! Not exactly a Bush supporter.

I'll see you in Rome in two weeks.

you dont know?
a murderous regime that has killed and tortured a million Iraqis.
getting rid of an evil tyrant and his goons who rule with an iron
fist.
will that do ?
A worthwhile war by any means.

The war protesters support a regime of evil and terror

Ask the Guardian. It's their story. By next week I would say that it will
number in many thousands.

Marie:

You're in good company, one of our own who was of Muslim faith killed many
of our service people. Do you feel better now! How far back does your
family go in Britain? Are you from Wales?
