What the **** does any of this have to do with ME? THIS WAR AFFECTS THE WHOLE WORLD. WHEN NEW, IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT IT COMES OUT, I THINK IT IS NESSACCARY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT. And we all call ourselves mature, so why the **** can we NOT discuss it without doing the bull**** you just did. Now, Jeff hoped this thread will make it to 6 pages at least, so we dont we give a good dicussion for at least that time.

I'm here for the toast!

In other news, David Kay said that Bush did NOT lie, that he honestly believed there were WMD's and that Saddam was an immenent and gathering threat. It was the intelligence that was horribly flawed. This from the head inspector.

He also said there was interesting stuff talking about Syria in some documents, and that weapon components and programs HAD been moved there, but he didn't know how much.

Also, there's an article on Drudge that says Saddam used oil to bribe Chirac into not supporting the war. So much for the Frogs high moral ground.

Ubuu isn't being a troll and I'm not mad at him(well, kind of), he is just being so short-sighted it's frustrating. And Ubuu, you have to admit you didn't set up the thread to be a nice, civic discussion. You started off with a censored word and a "Naner Naner" mood. Next time, use "Discuss", after the article and I'll have more sympathy. If I wanted to see a flame war, I'd start a thread using an article from the same news source that you got your article that says something a lot different but the end result would be the same: a cluster****.

Char: It's not a good thing to use Drudge as a source. What he says might be true, but he is so right field he's playing Patty Cake with Rush Limbaugh.

You're right, I did misuse the word "troll." Flame bait describes the attitude in the opening post better. *shrugs* If you want to claim that you weren't trying to stir up peoples' reactions, then whatever.

However, what disturbs me about this issue is the fact that there isn't a greater public outcry over the failure to discover WMD. I'm not saying the outcry should be directly against Bush, per se. Yet the scope of this intelligence calamity is very troubling. I mean, I remember Colin Powell presenting photographs of Iraqi WMD sites to the United Nations... what the heck were those if not what he claimed them to be? Where did all of this supposed evidence come from? Assuming that the American public wasn’t purposely mislead, how could this have happened? Or perhaps worded better: allowed to happen?

Typically, the reports he links to are right, though.

I use Drudge and Boortz - a conservative and a libertarian. How's that for variety? Eh? Eh?

He said Iraq was in violation of U.N. Resolution 1441, which mandated Saddam to disclose and destroy prohibited weapons.

He said inspectors have found hundreds of cases of Iraqi officials concealing from U.N. weapons inspectors evidence that placed Iraq in clear violation of the world body's resolutions.

He added that Iraq had become totally corrupt after 1998, when U.N. inspections ceased, improving the likelihood that banned weapons could wind up in the wrong hands. </font>

Whoa, you all need to calm down. Everyone has their own view son the war, and why it should/should not have have happened. Fighting internally is not what we need now, you all have to come to the fact that we've gotten into, what's done is done. We all need to work together and show support for our country.

There was a just cause for this war, for the sake of the rest of the world, the US entered the war to make sure that Saddam didn't have any WMD's. It turns out they probobly don't have any, thank god, and we also put down a tyrant, good for us. Saddam gave us ample reason to think that he was hiding weapons.It's better we went in and found out he didn't, than not go in and give them the opportunity to get them, or keep the ones he might have had and maybe use them against the rest of us.

If there REALLY arent any WMD there, dont get pissed at Bush because it is the INTELLIGENCE who convinced him so.
People say Bush falsely led America into.......
but it should be:
Intelligence falsely led Bush into.......
Since no WMD were found in Iraq, how does anyone know that saddam moved them elsewhere (as in, foreigners such as Syria/Jordan?)
I guess that the absolute truth will take time to learn
And, the war was still worth it because the real murders/Hitlers/liars/evil are gone from Iraq. (which is why we must remain there to secure a government!

That is what I have to say whether you agree or not!!

Who cares about the weapons anymore? Bush either lied about them, or received bad information about them. If he lied, then he did what 99.9% of politicians do in order to get rid of Saddam. Its not like he lied about getting a **** j*b to cover his own ***, and thats assuming it was in fact a lie.

As for the thread... I cant say I care much if it reaches 6 pages, cus I could not be back for another 3 days, or I could be back tomorrow to check it out. Either way, it will probably be locked by either time.

Ubuu, I love you, but this sounds very funny coming from you considering you thought Stalin was German. You will never live that down.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

You think its worse for a president to lie about his sex life than lie about international affairs/wars? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/confused.gif]

Besides, it doesn't matter if Clinton lied, or if lots of politicians lie. It doesn't make it right. (assuming that Bush was lying and wasn't just mistaken)

Here's an interesting article that was released a few days ago concerning the United States justification for going to war:

War in Iraq: Not A Humanitarian Intervention

I'm not sure if I agree with all of its statements, but it's interesting, nevertheless.

Who the heck cares anymore? Saddam's out of power, we -know- he has had weapons, and there was clear evidence he could possibly have them before. Should just be glad the Butcher of Baghdad can't put fear into innocent Iraqis anymore and leave it at that.

WRONG! Bush put pressure on the Intelligence community to find just enough info on Iraqi WMD's to justify a war, which is why Powell's UN evidence was shaky at best. The Intelligence community was under pressure to give Bush what he wanted. Bush's administration is at fault, not the intelligence community. They did what they were told to do.

Then I would argue that the intelligence community is still at fault for not having the balls to say what they really found (if they didn't find anything). It's easy to point fingers at the president because he's at the top, but that that doesn't mean that other people aren't just as responsible.

It is not the intelligence communities responsibility to determine how the information is used. They are simply there to provide the government with situations and level of probabilities of a scenario. Bush asked the CIA, NSA, and DIA if Iraq had any WMDs, they responded that it was possible. Bush took it and ran with it.

So you would make this a case of ends justifying means, while comparing going to war with getting a blowjob? because if anything on this page is a load of crap, that's it.

I would challenge you to do a bit'o reading on Jefferson's and Washington's opinions on getting involved with conflicts in the so-called 'old world.' To sum, they like friendship, but don't alliances and treaties. They just plain didn't want to get involved with many of the affairs over there, because that would get the U.S. into a LOT of wars.

Admittedly, changing technology has made this all but impossible, but a point can be made that our government should be much more careful about who's conflict they jump into. Sure, the moral choice would be to side with the 'good' guys, but then the 'bad' guys have every reason to blow you up. And if you can't hold your end of the deal at the end, or you pull out early, maybe because public support goes in the toilet (hint hint), the 'good' guys might want to blow you up too. The idea here is that MAYBE you shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Just something to think about.

My main beef is with the people, some in this thread, who think that supporting a political party is like supporting a footy team.

The kind of support that involves turning up to 4th division games in the rain, crap stadium, no fans and your team is going to lose 251-15.

You don't know why you're sitting out there on a dirty plastic chair in the cold and rain eating a cold pork pie watching your team getting the crap kicked out of them. All you know is that your parents supported Guildford before you, and your grandparents before them.

But these people will support the Republicans until the day they die. Republican Senators could wander the countryside eating human babies and they'd still vote Republican at the next election.
