And of course



Don't stick your heads in the sand and pretend Bush is in there just to try and stop terrorism. If he really wantred to do that and nothing more, then ther'd be far mor useful places he could send his troops, Northern Ireland, Palestine (hell, and Israel too), Pakistan hunting for OBL, etc. etc.

Bush may be in it for the oil and whatnot, but I'm sure the troops are vying only for revenge.  Let them not be disappointed.

[Knight Templar]

Well, we finally get to see something happen. All these ultimatums flying around have gotten really boring.

-silence-

[Bobboau]

don't you stick you're head in the sand and think he's just in there for oil, if all he wanted was the oil there are far more profitable was to go about it,
for an example see France

A-****ing-men. I know damned well the guys I served with aren't over there for Oil and could honestly give a **** about it. Some are over there for loved ones that they've lost.

*lowers head in silence for a moment*

Now please take the bull**** politics into the threads ABOUT that **** and leave this thread to it's purpose.

It's a good thing I just saw the Fellowship of the ring otherwise, I wouldn't get it. So I suppose Bush is the evil dark dope. How obvious.

I know some of you might have remembered this. But I think it seems apropriate.

I think it seems very immature

[Knight Templar]

It's tradition to write fun stuff like that on bombs though. It's partiotic

i saw Pearl Harbor too Knight_Templar

but the above pictures is just plain stupid.  it's very immature...

[Warlock]

Hence why it fits so well here

[Rictor]

what do all those numbers add up to? about 4500-5000?

that started counting from 1983. In 20 years, do you believe that US military campaigns have caused the deaths of more than 5000 people? Thats a retorical question.

I dont exactly see why 5k dead yanks is "oh my god, those poor people" but 500k dead iraquis (mostly civilians) is "huh? that happened? really? well they probably deserved it."

BTW i dont want this to turn into political debate, I just thought that that pic required this answer..

numbers dont lie, and you cant manipulate them into whatever you want .

[Warlock]

Hmmm could be because those numbers are of ppl killed by terrorist acts. And if you read it carefully ... you'll notice they're not all "yanks".

[Blue Lion]

You'll also notice Iraq is not really responsible for any of those.

He only wants to stop anti-American terrorism though; after all, he is president of the US, not that of the world. And as usual, it makes sense to start with the easiest guys first, so there we have Iraq.

I dont exactly see why 5k dead yanks is "oh my god, those poor people" but 500k dead iraquis (mostly civilians) is "huh? that happened? really? well they probably deserved it."

From the US's point of view, that certainly makes sense; its only final purpose, as that of any other government, is to protect its own people.

Never said they were. It's a matter of "opposing terrorists and their supporters".

[Dark_4ce]

And its not like they're going to target the civilians when they start the invasion. "Oh look a school. Send a Maverick. Some are trying to run away, send in the marines." Thats what Terrorists did and do. They specifically targeted Civilians, except for the Cole. And I think targeting specifically civilans to take out your anger against someone is the lowest thing to do.

And ofcourse there is no solid proof that Iraq had anything to do with terrorists. But you can't deny what he's doing to his own people. Which is cause enough in my oppinion to have a regime change.
