Yeah. Nixon WAS evil. Remember when he destroyed the earth and then we moved to THIS planet? Only they decided not to tell all the stupid people?
(Thanks Steve Martin!)
Tell the Kurds that Saddam was NOT a threat. Oh? What's that you say? It was a misprint? You meant that Saddam was not a TREAT? Well, ya got me, Ghoulie!
What a kidder. You and Margot!

^^^ not a threat to the USA.

Edit - In 1983, during Ronald Reagan's first term, the US was supporting Saddam in his war against Iran. Donald Rumsfeld, then the CEO of the pharmaceutical Serle, was appointed Special Envoy to the Middle East. It was his job to go to Bagdad and reassure Saddam that we would continue to support him. During 1983 Saddam began to use poison gas against the Iranian Army and on his own population. The US Administration knew this, but, chose to ignore it. Apparently, Saddam's use of chemical weapons became so extensive that it leaked to the media and the White House was forced to make a public statement condemning it. In early 1984 Mr. Rumsfeld was, again, sent back to Bagdad to tell Saddam that that statement was only for public consumption and would not affect the US relationship with Iraq.

Ok I'll butt in into this discussion...

Quote:

I think noone denies that the kurds had a tough time under sadam. But the also have one in Turkey and so do the North Korean under Kim Jong...

The Point is the Kurds didn't aks for help.....
Oh wait. They did in 1991 after the US dropped flyers over Iraq and told them to rise against Sadamm and that the US will help them.....

^^^ Well, as far as I know, after the dust settled with the Persian Gulf War the Kurds, and the Shia, asked the USA for help in a campaign to overthrow Saddam Hussien.

The USA told them: "We don't care". That is, George Bush Sr.

So Saddam, seeing that his ole' American pals have given him the OK to be a tyrant once again, started slaughtering all the Kurds, who fled into Southern Turkey. Where the Turks slaughtered more of them.

Pretty much... the Kurds have more reason to kill Americans than Saddam ever did. The Shiites too (thier story is just as horrific).

Let me put this in perspective so that even a baby eating American like myself can understand.
If I said to you, "Hey, Ghoulie! Go out and throw feces at every blonde you see!" and you go out and actually brownify some old yellas, it's my fault.
Put down that turd you Kurd!!
Hey, man. If it were that easy, everyone not on the North American continent would be living in thatch huts, huddled around the local manifesto, speaking the language of the invaders and sending their first born off to the state for indoctrination.
Pal, I'll slap the guy next to you if he tells you to shut up with your bilge, because you have every right to appear stupid.
As Harlan Ellison once said, "You don't have a right to your opinion. You have a right to your INFORMED opinion."
I don't know every tin dictator we've propped up over the years, but maybe we need a new policy that states..."If we gave you a billion dollars to overthrow your enemies, and you did it, GAME OVER,MAN!"
America isn't perfect. (Is that news to you?) We are a little better than second place, though.
Of my two nephews that went to Iraq, one is still there. One is in Germany. Sausage and frauleins everywhere, I bet.
Let's get along, baby. If I made policy over here, foreign aid would mean tourists eat free breakfast at the Holiday Inn.
P.S. Saddam WAS a threat. Just my informed opinion.

^^^ I... don't know what to say to that. Are ya on the crack? You sound, by your text, completely insane. Which is fine, better than being an out and out liar.

Well, Saddam wasn't a threat, it's in the paper. It's on the news. Everyone had to admit this... but GWB still hasn't and he won't in the coming "debate". Neither will Kerry. Scary.

You don't have to believe me.

The position of yourself and Geezer, etc. is opposed by THE REST OF THE WORLD.

You don't have to believe me.

The postion you, Jimnightshade, and Geezer hold is only acceptable in evangelical tents and corporate greed cubes. The rest of the world, not invested in a right wing ideology based on "pro-life" and racism, simply sees that the USA has illegally invaded a soveriegn nation. Bombed it's cities. Tortured it's citizens. And when people complained the USA declared everyone in Iraq a terrorist and has begun a murderous campaign across northern Iraq... it's a slaughter.

Really... how can you defend a postion that advocates murder, torture, death, and disease?

Well, if you ask Jim I'm sure some crappy web link will come up accompanied by more illogical logic. Really, buy a fuckin' clue morons.

IRAQ SURVEY GROUP: Saddam had no WMD BLAIR & STRAW: That means we were right
By Gary Jones And Bob Roberts In Addis Ababa

... But former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook said the case for war had been destroyed.

He said: "Saddam was no threat to us and had no weapons of mass destruction to pass to terrorists.

"Brushing the UN inspectors aside in order to go to war on false intelligence was a colossal blunder."

He said it also raised a "troubling question" over the legality of the war.

And Lib Dems spokesman Sir Menzies Campbell said: "Brick by brick, the Government's case for going to war is being demolished."

Labour backbencher and anti-war campaigner Peter Kilfoyle said: "The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary are in deep denial of reality." Reg Keys, whose son was one of six Red Caps killed by a mob of Iraqis last year, said: "Blair fed us a pack of lies."

Seems the Ghoul has an exposed nerve and I ran some lemon juice over it.
Yer right, pal. You and your kind are alway right. I will never convince you otherwise. (Did you read the part where I wrote "..let's get along..."?
NO politician can ever be trusted. Saddam WAS a threat. You like that?
WAS.
Not anymore.
By the way, my crack merchant wants your address. He needs all the word of mouth biz he can get.

Blah, blah, blah......Kiss me you fool. I'm insane AND on crack!!!

Seems to me that ole Saddam was as much a threat as Bush presently is, and Kerry may well become...

So this only justifys the position, " Well the Americans seems threatening so lets go kill some "

And perhaps you'll be a threat no more

Where as in reality by action Americans really are the greater threat to everyone who doesn't live inside the US.....

It seems to me the only choice is which Terrorists do you side with

BTW

Did anyone see the season opener for Enterprise ???

The White House covered in Swastikas didn't really seem at all un-natural did it ?

" If you ever go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice. Bring a pack of matches and we'll burn their White House twice "
