Indeed.

I agree theis war is nonsense ..that we could handle this another way ..BUT at the same time I will certainly support our Troops and any that fight along side us..

Lets not kid ourselves..
Saddam is nothing more than a cold blooded killer...and yes, he must go..I'd prefer we gave him own people the tools to free themselves..

Since that isnt the case, I 'll just pray we go in quickly and keep the civilian losses at a minimum.

I agree.
And yes let's not forget that it is now exactly 15 years ago that Saddam Hussein killed 5000 kurds by releasing gas over some city.

I hope they kill him and all his closest people

WildCard · Mar 17, 2003

this is my thinking-

The US and UK want to show the world that Saddam has these terrible things, but for one reason or another they don't show proof.

What better way to 'provoke' Saddam into showing what he has by giving him a 72 hour warning that war is about to start? It's a terribly risky proposition using the troops like this, but I really am beginning to think that this may be the case.

1:24 mins. to Bush's speech! There is no stopping this machine ... just pray it's over quickly, and we can live with the fallout ... in whatever shape or form.
God bless us all, truly!
Good Luck.

WildCard · Mar 17, 2003

well, we are plenty far from the fighting. God bless the troops and civilians this will effect locally.

But the mad suicide bombers will come out of the woodwork, feeling that US attacking Iraq gives them justification to carry out atrocities.

fizz · Mar 17, 2003

Unfortunately that will most probably be the case. The war will ignite their fuse.

When has a madman ever required a justification?

Togoodhlth · Mar 19, 2003

Exactly. They are already comitting atrocities and have come out of the woodwork.
They already feel they are justified. It makes no difference what we do.
It's time to pray for a miracle and hope Saddam either comes to his senses (slimmest of hopes) or we can get in and get to him fast which will be no easy task I'm sure.
