Hooray (for boobies) I have found the second pro-war guy (here in Belgium) in 6 months!!!


aaanyway: burning your own oil fields, firing the WMD and the like is the stupidest thing saddam can do...

Besides remember the gulf war? Saddam fired rockets at Israel.. How many casualties? I believe it was: 1 or something... He can't do anything with his weapons cos they're worth ****, in the first gulf war the rockets were still pretty bad, according to the American specialists (they deviated from their target so much they completely missed)

U really think Saddam is going to attack Turkey, Israel and Kuwait the same time he's under heavy American pressure? It will only worsen things!! I think he's smart enough to see this, if not, f*k saddam!

If they did, then even France and Germany would join the coalition. France has already said that if Saddam uses them, it would change their stance completely.

Well, i am pretty damn sure there aren't any WMD, and I'm pretty happy that there aren't, because we won't, and the Israelis won't and noone will, get hit by weapons that aren't there.

It makes this war, which is righteous w/out the WMD's, just a little easier.

If he is captured alive (well you never know ) I'd imagine it would be harder to convict him of any crimes if it was shown that he was not in possession of any of these weapons.

He won't allow himself to be captured alive, I'm pretty sure of that.

The missiles the Iraqis launched against Kuwait were FROGs.

Be careful about misinformation during this war. Doublecheck all your sources. Do not help them spread their propaganda.

Frogger (or anyone):

quote:
In Kuwait, the four missiles fired by Iraq were not Scuds, but shorter-range weapons. Two were Ababil 100's, which were shot down by Patriots. Another was a tactical ballistic missile, but no name or type was made available. The fourth was an antiship missile, which landed near the marines at Camp Commando.

quote:
From the NY Times article linked above.


I did not see that in the article linked by CapTVK at all... That is the article you were referencing, right?

Did the link change? I couldn't find the article you speak of at all, but I'd like to read it.

Thanks.

It was edited. Probably to update with new firings of missiles (IIRC there were 6 more a few hours after the posts in question).

Same response to Lefty. The four original ones flew 99 km or less.

If Saddam can get rid of his WoMD more power to him, I'll be just laughing when Bush can't find the weapons. Bush will be toast in 2004 if that happens. Hmmmmmmmm... maybe Saddam is good for something.

FOX says the same on there ticker.


I get the feeling Anti-War protesters made a big fuss and are getting a bit embarrassed at the present situation.

Wheres the Humanitarian disaster? Where are the 50,000 dead civilians, what happened to door to door fighting Basrah, Mosul, and Baghdad (Granted baghdad...hasnt been reached yet. But if intel indications are true and they have proved so far to be. Then the 3 Republican Gaurd divisions are about to fold)
