damgo, this isn't a belief, this is well established FACT we are talking about here. The thin link is when you (we) specifically talk about Bin Laden being in bed with Saddam. But Saddam has for YEARS provided monetary awards for the families of islamic terrorists in Israel and actively supported the efforts of the terrorists. He is currently specifically invoking "jihad" on the US - appealing to islamic terrorists to come to his aid.Originally posted by damgo
Russ, Alias, anyone, do you guys truly believe Saddam is in bed with Islamist terrorists? It's a classic example of the Big Lie...
So a dictator isn't in complete control of (and/or not responsible for) what goes on in his country? You really believe that?Northern Iraq. The Ansar al-Islam camp was in PUK territory, de facto Kurdistan; Iraq hasn't had control of that area since 1991.
Damgo, that's a self-contradictory statement. Supporting terrorism is not supporting terrorism? Those payments saddam made were a REWARD for TERRORISM. It doesn't get any more cut and dried than that.Originally posted by damgo
russ-
Yes, Saddam giving money to suicide bomber's families is a fact. But that doesn't make him a supporter of Islamist terrorism.
Wait, you went to all that trouble to prove its a question of semantics, then contradict your own hypothetical? Now I seriously am confused.Originally posted by damgo
^^^ Eh, that's just semantics. :)...
Now, do I think that's why Saddam gives them money? Not likely!
Oops, I get it - I should have picked up on it.Originally posted by damgo
^^^ The semantics line was tongue-in-cheek. Damn this non-emotion-conducting Internet!
Hmmm, I don't kwow, that's a really tough one... would you say that the world would be worse-off if Kim Jong Il had WMDs, or if the Care Bears did? :)Would you say that the world would be in more peril if Saddam had WMDs, than if the Pope had them?

Hmmm...another personal attack, Alias?
That's not what I said, or meant, and you know it. I think you actually kind of like me. I think you've got this love/hate thing going for me, no?Certainly, murdering anyone who might ever interfere with U.S interests is a brilliant strategy...get that from a G.I. Joe comic book?

I disagree with your solution, although I'm quite happy you stated it. I wish we could get that much from Zero.
I think a better solution would be to continue to make war on all of those that oppose the removal of Saddam's regime. Make no mistake, they know what they are in for, and can surrender at any time. If they continue to fight, their deaths will be their own doing.
Of course, for those being forced to fight, I pray for them.
Mr. Robin Parsons said:Alais, you can do it in the name of the Sunni's,(the former ruling class of Iraq) as they are now the last people defending Baghdad, and to 'Win the War', all George needs to do, is, "Kill them All".
Isn't there another name for that?
BTW Alais, the solution(s) are/was/were, to end the war, now, bring the Boys back home where they are safe, sign a Peace Treaty with the people that are left whom have not yet been slain/murdered.
That I had suggested, well before, this war started.
Blessed are the Peace Makers....J.C.
John Kerry? Sure.Werdatothewise said:Who remembers the days of the VIETNAM WAR?
kyleb said:that is like saying the hurricane brought some good becuase it ended the drought.
studentx said:So Adam, you agree that this war brought forth some good: the end of sanctions which crippled the country?
Adam said:1) X causes all sorts of problems through sanctions and such, for Y.
2) X invades Y, destroys all basic infrastructure, kills lots of people, and ends those sanctions.
3) Some idiot thinks X's invasion is good because the sanctions (caused by X) are over.
I have recommended to you before that you should simply stay out of these conversations.
studentx said:the jews did nothing to deserve persecution, had no leader that led them to hell. Saddam killed thousands of kuweitis, tens of thousands of Kurds, hundreds of thousands of iranians and millions of iraqis. Once again Adam i have made recommendations not to attack the truth, or i will have to protect it.
