Fezzy, you can't blanketly call a source unreliable just because of their editorial opinions on an issue. If that were the case, we'd have no reliable news sources in the world. Arguably, we don't... but for the purposes of debate... we do. and however much you may want to throw the editors of the BBC out of helicopters, the BBC is funded by the British government. Who, BTW, was pro-War. I think it speaks volumes for the credibility of a news source if it is government funded, yet critical and in opposition of the same government's policies.

My point was that even if the BBC isn't credible (which it is credible), this story is mainstream... you can find Rumsfeld's comments on every major news network's website. It isn't a BBC exclusive. So unless your issue is with the mainstream media not being credible (which I might agree with) you shouldn't worry about the BBC's credibility. If you think I'm lying about Rummy, then prove it.

So don't give me that New Europe BS... they are just pandering to the superpower of the hour. If Saddam Hussein were the leader of a regional superpower, they'd be supporting him.


Would you care to explain how is the Bulgarian cooperation with Nazi Germany worse than for example the French cooperation. Especially considerenig that Bulgaria is one of the two European countries that managed to save their Jewish population while the French were more than ready to deport their Jews.

As for Eastern European countries cooperating with the Soviets... they could do little since in Yalta both Roosevelt and Churchill agreed to leave those countries in the Soviet sphere of influence. [sarcasm]But they probably did this because they allready knew that Eastern Europeans would betray you in a second anyway.[/sarcasm]

As for the whole New Europe BS. I (and 80% of Bulgarians) was against our government joining the silly coalition even on paper, as we actually did.

In my opinion, the US will not seek a UN resolution so long as the price is UN control. What I think we will do is build up an Iraqi army to gradually replace US troops - Vietnamization II. I believe the new Centcom commander has annouced the formation of just such a force.

(BTW, What do you suppose the new Iraqi army will use, M16's or AK47's?)

Obviously not only the BaŽathists but also islamistic Groups.
There was a group which confessed that they are behind some of the attacks on US-Soldiers and they said they would also attack Bluehelmets, if the UN would get involved in the country.

Of course it canŽt be proven that the words of the islamists are true, but, as there are many weapons in Iraq it isnŽt hard to imagine, that the islamistic groups have more than enough weapons to attack the US Troops and have actually done so.


Regarding the Dangers of sending Troops into Iraq I am the same opinion as others i.e. the UN should send Bluehelmets only, if they get real political power in Iraq. Otherwise Bush should use his Coalition of the willing to support his US-Troops

This won't be a Vietnam 2 as there isn't a large force invading. Or one large enough to constitute this. Only small groups that hard to catch.

I got an odd feeling M16s.. but on the other hand the Iraqi Army will be better off with AKs.

Old rusty crap? The AN-94 has problems with clogging and gets jammed often. How do I know? I fired one. The construction is cheap and crappy.

The M-16 and M-4 need more maintainance but are so much better... they are years ahead of the Russian crap. Only an idiot would say the AN-94 was better..
