WHERE IS THE NUCLEAR DEVICE YOU LOVE SO MUCH?

it must be hiding with osama.....

you're always talking about it, always fretting. It's a fairy tale. And even if they did have one, the only reason they'd use it is because of some stupid move such as starting a war with these people.

it's not common sense about their "weapon," it's a fantasy made up by this bloodlusting administration.

The only two bombs ever used on people have been both ours. Haven't had a problem since. Maybe if we don't push our weigh around like we have been, things will remain the same

if that was the case, you're saying we should bomb washington dc....

oh please, give me one good example of why you believe bush is an imperialist and a dictator. what country has he ordered the military to take over?
Afganistan

what country has the US government ordered to be colonised?
The troops we have stationed EVERYWHERE.

last i saw he also has congress's backing, which throws your dictator argument out the window.
Not quite. Last time I checked, Republicans pretty much control congress and senate. Thats 3 for 3.

you must've completely misunderstood what i said. with saddam ousted, iraq disarmed, and UN sanctions lifted gas prices WILL fall.
Because we took over their oil, like this is all about.

that will increase shareholder confidence which will in turn raise the prices of oil company shares(that means they're worth more). product of that? the automotive industry follows suit as well as various other sectors. and guess what happens? the stock market goes up and unemployment falls.
All this for a few hundred thousand lives and a war or maybe two.

what is the truth about the flight that went down in Pennsyvania since you know oh so well? tell us oh wise one:jerkit:
You don't seriously think that plane just "went down" do you? I'd think someone on that flight would know how to fly a plane, even basic opperation. And besides, didn't you see that wreckage.... In Pittsburg, there's an airforce base that can have f15's scrambled relitivly fast. About 5-10 airborn minutes from where that plane went down. And it was the last plane to crash. Someone tries to contact whoevers on it, no reply. What do you think happend?

it doesn't surprize me that they wouldn't tell us. And its not like the data on the black box couldn't be faked...

seriously, man, Dick Channy's the kinda man who would make that order. And I think he did....

our government is just fine. it's the people that have become too accustomed to the easy life and like to point fingers when times are tough. if you don't like how the government works, go out and shake hands and kiss babies and get yourself elected and change some ****. until then cast your vote and stop *****ing about what the elected officials do.
You know, we live in democrasy, where I can voice my opinion, no matter how rediculous you may think it is. That last statement clearly shows you have a thick skull and only care about what you think, which is why you probably want war in the first place. it's an old mindset we as a human whole need to grow out of. I have, anyways....

dude, you're the one living in a fairy tale if you actually think for one second that if we back down things will change and terrorism will magically go away. wake up and smell the maple nut crunch my friend.

The only two bombs ever used on people have been both ours. Haven't had a problem since. Maybe if we don't push our weigh around like we have been, things will remain the same
things change, you either change with the time or get left by the wayside. the problem is that these countries ***** when we come in and set up camp to help them, they ***** if we don't. it's a lose lose situation. like it or not, we are the world police.

if that was the case, you're saying we should bomb washington dc....
that might do some good. washington DC is one of the most liberal cities in the country. i think we could stand to lose about a million tree huggers. don't you?


Afganistan
we didn't take over afganistan turbo. we did however train the opposing force to the existing facist regime(taliban, remember them?) to fight. our troops were just observers of the finish of a civil war that had been ongoing for the last 20 years.


The troops we have stationed EVERYWHERE.
we do not have troops in any country that has not given us explicit permission to be there. save your imperialist theories for conspiracy theory night at your local nerdery.


Not quite. Last time I checked, Republicans pretty much control congress and senate. Thats 3 for 3.
and they were all elected, by the voters, to hold those positions. whether or not they're all republican is irrelevant to the argument. i said bust is not a dictator, you said congress is republican. the answer doesn't go with the question. the fact is that bush does have the backing of congress. which is how things work.

Because we took over their oil, like this is all about.
i never said that oil isn't part of it, but it goes way deeper than you understand.

what the hell are you talking about? don't you think that if you were on a hijacked plane the hijackers would frown on someone talking on their phone? and you think it's funny that there's no reply when someone tried to contact someone on the plane? have you ever seen what an air to air missle would do to another airplane? let's just say that if it was shot down, and that's a huge IF the wreckage was still in pretty good shape considering it crashed into the forests of PA.

You know, we live in democrasy, where I can voice my opinion, no matter how rediculous you may think it is. That last statement clearly shows you have a thick skull and only care about what you think, which is why you probably want war in the first place. it's an old mindset we as a human whole need to grow out of.

you're the one preaching give peace a chance and i'm the one with the thick skull? that's rich. peace has never worked, ever and i seriously doubt it will ever work. like it or not we are a war mongering race. that's the way it has been for over a melinnia and it will probably continue to be that way for a couple more at least.

believe what you want.

Right...so 8 years of terrorist bombings on American interests around the world and Clinton did nothing to OBL.

Wrong! Clinton was the first to fight back against Al Quaeda bases in Afghanistan, the Sudan and a couple of other places. In addition, the Clinton administration investigated, arrested, prosecuted and jailed a number of people who were responsible for terrorist attacks. In contrast, Bush put on a big show in Afghanistan, but let Al Quaeda walk right out of there.

Clinton could have done a lot more if the GOP hadn't been working to undermine his presidency at every turn. When he had the opportunity to neutralize Al Quaeda military targets, the GOP launched a massive "wag the dog" smear campaign. FBI investigations begun under the Clinton administration were abruptly shut down when Bush came to power. In particular, FBI agent John O'Neoll was hot on the trail of three suspects from the USS Cole bombing. When they came to the US to learn to fly jets, O'Neill wanted to arrest them; Bush said "no". And what happened?

What happened...9/11.

Those three men who were within our grasp went on to fly airliners into the WTC and Pentagon, thanks to George W. Bush.

Now Bush is going after people with the weapons and the motive to hit us again...

What weapons? What motive? If you're talking about Iraq, the "weapons" are nothing but heresay at this point. Sane people don't start war on nothing but rumors. Even if Iraq did have the weapons, they have no way of getting them all the way to the US. Oh, let's not forget that Iraq never "hit us" a first time, so to say "hit us again" is dishonest.

I mean really...have you not learned from history?

Obviously some of us have, despite your best attempts to confuse the issue.
You are so off base with all your information...I hardly consider using cruise missiles to take out a couple tents and some camels in Afghanistan counts as "going after" Al Quaida. There were also no FBI investigations that were shut down under Bush...way to make that one up. The reason that those three got away was because when the INS was given their names they lost them. You can't blame Bush for that. Maybe if Clinton had had the balls to go and get these terrorists they would have not gotten to us first. Be thankfull we now have a president that is doing that. And we do know I raq has weapons...they were discovered during the last round of inspections...now they are missing and Iraq cannot account for them nor prove they were destroyed. And remember Muhammad Atta met with Iraqi officials in Prague before flying into the WTC...I doubt it was a courtesy visit. And even if their is no definative proof that Iraq had anyting to do with terrorist attacks agains AMerica or American interests I don't want to give Saddam the chance for their to be a first time...and you shouldn't either!

Saddam has threatened Bush that he will use Chemical weapons on US troops if we attack.

This is a funny statement considering that Saddam keeps on denying that he doesnt have any weapons of mass destruction.

The only way we get some liberal hippies to want to wage war is if another World trade center tragedy happens again atleast x5 more times with atleast x10 more casulties.

That hardly mitigates the fact that you lied outright in your zeal to portray Clinton as devil and Bush as savior. Whether you like it or not, Clinton was proactive against Al Quaeda.

There were also no FBI investigations that were shut down under Bush...way to make that one up.

You're the only one making things up here.

A. This is reality, not "Minority Report."
B. Osama Bin Laden is still free.


And we do know I raq has weapons...they were discovered during the last round of inspections...now they are missing and Iraq cannot account for them nor prove they were destroyed.

Unless you're one of those weapons inspectors, you're spouting pure BS.

And remember Muhammad Atta met with Iraqi officials in Prague before flying into the WTC...I doubt it was a courtesy visit.

That has been proven to be BS.

And even if their is no definative proof that Iraq had anyting to do with terrorist attacks agains AMerica or American interests I don't want to give Saddam the chance for their to be a first time...and you shouldn't either!

Practice what you preach. If that's how you want things done, start by putting a bullet in your own head, so you will not have a chance to do anything wrong.

Lied? Where have I lied? Clinton did nothing to prevvent Al Quaida from carrying out terrorist attacks on the US at home and abroad. Never have I ever portrayed Clinton as the devil...but I do disagree with the way he went about protecting this country. You need to get your facts straight and reread my statements.

You're the only one making things up here.
No I am not! SirSmokesAlot said it was Bush that stopped the investigation...that is what I was talking about...and it was the INS that ****ed it up once they got into the country. Again you need to get your facts straight.

A. This is reality, not "Minority Report."
I saw the movie...do you have a point to how this is relevent?

B. Osama Bin Laden is still free.
Yes...but we are still going after him and he does not have a place to base his operations such as Afghanistan. This is still more than previous administrations

Unless you're one of those weapons inspectors, you're spouting pure BS.
All you need to do is keep up with current events and you would know I am right. I guess CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, USAToday, NY Times, Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal & I am sure there are others those are just the source I have read or heard it from are all sputing the same BS. At least I know I am in good company.

That has been proven to be BS.
Really? It has? When? Where?

Practice what you preach. If that's how you want things done, start by putting a bullet in your own head, so you will not have a chance to do anything wrong.
And by making a comment like this you have not only shown that you do not know what you are talking about but that you are also an asshole. Making that comment sounds like someone that is lashing out when they know they are beaten.

So has anyones views changed after Bush's "State of the Union" speach. Mine are still the same and I think he did a good job outlining why there is a must to disarm Saddam.
