War in Iraq

Yeah, whatever. There was no connection between Iraq and 9/11, until Bush decided to create a connection, because it was a golden excuse for him to invade Iraq and attempt to gain control over their oil.

Have you seen the footage of the public statements after 9/11? There was no, repeat, no connection between Iraq and 9/11. Osama bin Laden was in Afghanistan, as far as I know.

As for retribution for 9/11: Have you ever thought about what it was that caused 9/11 in the first place? You wanna tell me these terrorists spent all that time, money and effort in planning 9/11 for no reason whatsoever? What was it that made them so determined and comiitted in the first place? What was it that drove them so far over the edge that they killed all those people?

Maybe the fact that America, under their "God is on our side" leadership feel the need to stick their noses into every other country's business in the first place.

im pretty sure he was being sarcastic.
just check his sig. he's obviously no bush lover

I certainly didn't support the war, for many reason, ethical, moral, legal, political and so forth. A lot of Australians were the same. Sadly John Howard said quite clearly about how such matters were to important to be left to the voting public of Australia (who complained and then re-elected him, the worlds gone mad)

There was, after all, one good thing that came out of the Iraq war.

Comical Ali, man i loved that guy.

Remember the Iraqi guy (cant for the life of me remember his name) who would go on Iraq tv and say that Iraq was crushing America?

Quotes

I think it was just a diversion so people wouldn't say he wasn't doing anything about 9/11. He knew he wouldn't be able to "beat" Al Queda because they aren't a real army, so he invaded another middle eastern country and prayed Americans wouldn't notice the difference. And it looks like he was right. I don't know about oil though..

Aye, an interesting fellow who actually appeared to to believe the propaganda. I believe he is call Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, or just the Iraqi Information Minister. Does anyone know if he survived the war? Was he caught, and if so what is he charged with?

He was caught. I dont know what happened next though.

Did you know he has a DVD out in England?

I hadn't heard that, though it doesn't surprise me, people will produce anything these days. I wonder if he will get royalty's and eventually a spot on that show about passed stars, "Where are they now?"

This whole bush just wants the oil thing is just plain stupid.Some of you guys need to let it go.As for the war I am not saying I am for it but I am not saying I am againt it either.
I think I am in the middle!Anyway the sooner the soilders come back home the better!Even through it is strange but the soilders who are there support bush.

No disrespect to the soliders out there. I too wish to see them (and our 'lads'😉 home with there families and loved ones. But they can't help but support Bush and his cause on the basis its no more then proganda bull being fed to them. Hitler did it, Stalin did it, Hussain did it. And your probably right he didn't do it just for oil he did it to settle the score for his old man (the oil is just a bonus).

Not all of them do.

I don't like America being involved in Iraq at all. I'm glad Saddam is gone, but not at this expense.

I do still think there is an opportunity for a lot of good to come from all of this at the end, but by the look of things.....that opportunity is fading fast.

To tell the truth, I'm seriously disappointed in the UK for following America into the war. This whole "we're allies" reasoning is nothing but an excuse. The British we conned by their Prime Minister just like Americans were conned by their President.

I don't know if it would have changed America's decision to go to war with Iraq, but I think that if our good friends the British took a firm stand against the war, and even used their relationship with the US to try and prevent the war....then things might be a little different right now.

How on earth are you comparing Hitler to bush?Compare to Hitler Bush is a god!I really don't see your point on this.But then again I don't think I would.
Link I took you off my list but I still can't see your posts?Anyone know why?JM

When you consider who our Prime Minister is and who George Bush is, there is slim to no chance that he or the people he works with were gonna have any chance in persuading someone like Bush against what he was doing and Britain have relatively no choice in that position because if the time comes when any of our countries need back up, it's always one of the other who step in. Britain need the US to a higher extent than the US need Britain.

I didn't want to Britain to follow the US into Iraq but then again when did the people's view ever mean anything to politicians?

Its not comparison its called exemplification, and what do you mean by you don't think you'd see me point of view ?

I meant was that I don't think I would get your point of view.I mean Hitler and Bush are two different people.They did notheirng the same and to me one is bad hilter and bush is good.
that is what I am trying to say.JM

Black and White propaganda may agree with your view point. But Bush definitely ain't the saint you think he is.

I think he is more of a saint then Hilter is.Just wondering why don't you think he is a saint?JM

Hmmm lets see for one no human is a saint. As for Bush he's a bully boy who went to Iraq for the wrong reasons (i.e. to settle a score for his old man and all the precious oil). He doesn't care who dies just so long as he looks good, and he's totally screwing up Americas relations with the rest of the World - if one of these rogue countries was to take a pot shot at us then we'd be screwed 'cos we'd still be arguing.

Which we have no proof about that whole thing?If there is prove please tell me.Actly a person can be a saint.If they are dead for along time they become a saint.
But I was using it to say that Bush is a good man.This stuff about the oil junk does not change my mind about my views on bush.JM

If there is no proof to why we went to war then how can you dismiss the 'Oil' theory, 'cos in all honesty its a plausible one.
