Kosar............Hmm, didn't Sadaam invade Kuwait? We had to kick his ass outta there!!!! Are we suppose to wait for Some dickweed to run rampant over a whole continent before we do anything??? You know what they say, an ounce of prevention. I suppose you would like to see another 9/11 before you start to come around. After we kicked his lousy ass outta Kuwait, HE (Sadaam) signed an agreement to inspections etc, and for 7 years he ****ed with the inspectors, shot at planes in the No Fly Zone, and on and on and on. If you played football in high school, you must have played without a helmet.
Yes, Saddam invaded Kuwait, and yes, we had to 'kick his ass out of there', and we did. Somehow this thread became a Kuwait discussion, but I don't think anybody here disagreed with that.
Immediately after 9/11, this admin began planning to invade that country that had nothing to do with 9/11. According to you, these are the reasons:
1. Saddam 'fvcked with inspectors.'
2. Disobeyed UN resolutions. (check and see who the league leader is in disobeying resolutions)
3. Every now and then shot flack at our jets with weapons that weren't capable of reaching the altitude at which our jets flew.
Hey, if that's all it takes for you to cheer for an occupation, God bless you.
Iraq- denies having WMD and doesn't. We take over country that had very little or nothing to do with Al-Qaeda and absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. Will deliver them a fundamentalist government, a la Iran.
Iran-strong ties to Al-Qaeda and all sorts of other different terrorist organizations. Tells us flat out they have a nuclear program and that they will continue to develop it. Our action? N/A-our hands are tied right now.
Syria-has chemical weapons and possibly gas. Very strong ties to Al-Qaeda and other organizations. Allows their borders to continue to be a sieve that terrorists are pouring through. What should we do about this, MASH?
North Korea- States that they have nukes and at the least are trying hard to get them. Well, you know the drill.
So out of Iran, Iraq and Syria, shortly after 9/11, you think that Iraq was the smartest choice. I mean if we just HAD to attack somebody other than Afghanistan. That's just brilliant.
