Look at it this way.  If you see a certain place where there are egregious human rights violations every day, and you had the ability and opportunity to do something about it, would it be morally appropriate to refrain from intervening?

That is a valid statement, but human rights are violated everyday by several countries around the world.

but that is no reason not to stop them in Iraq

artilery fire heard around were our forces are massed

5 Iraqi leaders have been reported dead, and more explosions heard around Baghdad

The same applies to many other things, such as "international laws," so why is everyone complaining about the US breaking those?

Iraqi TV was just taken out

Sadam's makeing a speach

[HeX]

Let me see if I can summerize what he'll say:

Blah blah blah American Pigs.
Blah blah blah we are stronger.
Blah blah blah we'll die before we surrender.
Blah blah blah God is on our side.
Blah blah blah now excuse me while I hide and the rest of you fight for our glorious nation.


Anyone with TV...let me know how close I was.

Actually, the translation of his speech seemed overly repetative and hard to understand.

His tactics for Defeating the infedels that he stated included "running out american patience and lowering our troops morale."

Let me know when they Cruise Missile Saddam. I'll be playing Ghost Recon.

[Bobboau]

they might have,
that speach was probly recorded,
they were probly shooting at him, and five Iraqi leaders have been reportedly killed

eh, threads got mearged

Mosul was atacked

[Warlock]

Uggg now I've got a headache from catching up

[Fetty]

holy
i wont go catching up 10 pages lol

One cool thing about watching all the news reports with the troops,... they're showing off some of the things I used to repair Just saw the Today Show showing off the Chemical check point and showing the CAMs

[NeoHunter]

The news here is terrible. They report on the Iraq war every few minutes to half an hour and its always the same thing. They always start with the 48 hour deadline thing then move on to the report this morning that a missile hit the presidential building and so on. Boring.

If I wanted to watch and hear something boring, I rather watch Titanic.

[Warlock]

That's normal for the media though. War to them is profitable as it's higher ratings,....some ppl are just as addicted to watching "up to the second" reports on  a war as they are on Reality TV.

Personally I'd much rather the Media only be allowed to be given information after an operation is completed (mission...not the entire war,...out of fairness) I think the whole mess on them attempting to guess exactly where troops are being massed is ridiculous,... might as well have "Please target these locations" all over the news

how does this thread merge function exactly work anyway? Does it just stack the beginning of one thread onto the end of the other?

It displays posts from both threads into chronological order.

[Warlock]

which means it'll be a pain in the tail to make out replies between each thread since it's being ordered by posting time/ dates.

Personally I'd have just closed one of the two and left the other to continue on
