Are We Ready For War - Part 2

[Doc Tinker]

The Stock Market takes another dive. . More bombings and rocket retaliations in Israel. . Killings of innocent Christians in a Pakistani School. . Pakistan's president not so sure that Bin Laden is the bad guy. . Pakistan and India pointing missiles at each other. . Iraq increasing defenses while inviting US Congressmen to visit Baghdad. .



Just a matter of when. .

UMMM

You thought of the question, asked it and answered it. YES!

They made the decision! They have been told! And we got um last time and we are stronger now... . Besides war always seems to cure a sickly economy!

DOC, In the Kmart parking lot they are giving out "monster school bus rides"... they have a early 60's bus with 6 foot dia. tires... made me wonder if you worked on her when she was a baby! its a ferd with that funny looking flat hood.

 

[JLinder]

You said it!

Besides war always seems to cure a sickly economy!

I read one time the sure fire way to turn the economy around is go to war. If you look back at history, our economy has generally improved when we're kickin' butt abroad. On the other hand, I'm 22 and some of my buddies are in the military. Sure as heck don't want them to get hurt.





I say we make Iraq one big parking lot!

The whole world is in a very fragile condition right now. One more unexpected tragidy (like a wide spread desease or something), and things could get sticky. Could this be the "end times". Don't know, just speculating.

 

[RKelly]

War time economy "boost" ?

If things go to hell in the mid-east, then oil prices will sky-rocket. Add that to the stock market still diving...

I'm sure not an economist, but that sounds bad to me.

 

[EMDDIESEL]

Its going to happen, just a matter of time. It will hopefully help, but if anything, it will just slow them down.

He who is without sin should cast the first stone.



Go ahead now and tell me how the US is Sin free.

"Could this be the "end times". Don't know, just speculating. . " Makes you want to get to know Jesus a little more huh? This is truly the end times, but remember that the day of the Lord is not known even by the Angels which art in Heaven...

Baby Driver... Oh wait... I see you are from California... Never mind

So Far

So far I have not seen a good enough reason to put any of our people in danger invading Iraq. Surely it couldn't be a personal thing with GW, could it? After all, Daddy was the one who left Saddam in power. Sure looks a little suspisious to me. Iraq is surrounded by a no fly zone and have no chance of being any major threat. Except the case that sounds suspicious, of them having the capabilitys of "Weapons of mass destruction". He11 so does Mexico, let invade them!



Iraq has come out and said it did not condone the attacks on America and has no one who carried out the attack came from their country. So why? Because the Saudis are nervous, after all 5 of the terrorists came from them. Is it because Isarel is nervous? In my opinion they should leave the area and come settle in Utah. When people are trying to blow you up every day and you cannot stop it, it is time to leave. Instead we are getting drug in deeper and deeper, all because of someone being to hard headed to leave. It doesen't look like that great of a place anyway.



So we take a closer look at the Israel situation. They are likeing to a kid with a chip on their shoulder in a sea of radicals saying " Lets rumble" . Then when they get in trouble they call for us. Once or twice is fine I say "help em". But, over and over to the point of the whole region blowing up in our face? Sorry, but how many goverments are we willing to build over there? And how long will they last with the religious radical majority still there? How many of our young men and women are we willing to sacrifice for what?



I say we are not ready for the can of worms we are about ready to open. It is easy to preach war from this side of the ocean. Let GW challange Saddam to a grudge match on RAW, no holds barred. But I don't want my Grandkids to have to fight his battles for him.

 

[RKelly]

Champane flight: You nailed it.

Good 'ole Daddy left Saddam in power. Now the younger, who needs to please his daddy, says "I'll get rid of that Saddam for you Daddy".

I stand behind my president. I believe in this country quite firmly. But facts are facts, and GW has lost too many brain cells from his drinking days. He is dangerous, in my humble opinion.

 

[Jumbo Jet]

Not very many other countries around the world are falling in behind us to support us.



It's time to tell the rest of the world and the UN to Kiss our A_S and let them take care of whatever develops around that part of the world.



Why give up our flesh. blood, and TAX $$ for those who do not respect democracy and freedom?



When it degenerates to open rebellion in all those countries and their economies are destoyed, who will they come crying to for help? P_SS on them.



Our government wants to bomb them and scr_w us all at the same time! Homeland security my a_s!



I do not trust any of them - Republican or Democrat. I'd just about vote for Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. At least you know what they really are and where they stand.



Folks, it's only going to get worse! Happy Days are gone!

 

[Redneck Toadstomper]

If we go to war with Iraq, we should also attack any and all the other Arab countries that would do us harm. Seems like I remember a little incident last September 11 that took about 3000 innocent lives and was sponsored in full by people from a large % of Arab countries. News film showed 'em dancing in the streets afterwards. They hate America and don't even know why.



"Sin Free"?? BULL!! The scripture that was so boldly quoted talks about passing judgment - not about killing those that would kill you. Forget the stones, pass the ammo please.



As I've said before, we need to get a big ole can of Kickass off the shelf and use it all over North Africa and around the Med. Our polytictacs need to get off their tails and do what needs doin!! NOW!!! Later could well mean "NUKIN" it out with 'em.



Let's also not be simple minded about what took place and why before, during, and after the Gulf War. This was a United Nations coalition of nations with a rigid set of rules that had to be followed. I also disagree with what didn't happen but it was a U. N. call. President Bush had no choice but to do what was done. I hope you don't really believe President W. Bush is avenging something for "Dad". We need to tell our politicians to GET US OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS and PUSH THE BUILDING OVER INTO THE EAST RIVER!!! When we go in this time the rules for anyone not with us should be - duck, move aside, or get out of the way!!!! If you choose to interfere in any way, we got some for you too!!! That means France, the U. N. , ANYBODY!!!



The only way you could ever know where Jesse Jackson And Al Sharpton stand would be if their feet were super glued in their shoes and their shoes were glued to the sidwalk. It's impossible to tell when they are lying. They both can talk without moving their lips.

I cant believe that people think that "GW JR. wants to attack Iraq for GW SR. Days", thats ridiculous. We had Baghdad surrounded and ready to take him out 10 years ago and Saddam agreed to follow our terms. And just a few years later he has broken ALL promises. This guy is a huge threat to the whole WORLD and I think we need to take him out in Baghdad first thing in a huge attack and quit screwing around.



I too am tired of us helping everyone around the world and not getting any respect or appreciation for our efforts and $$$ that we spend. That money and effort would go a long way right here in our own backyard.

 

[klenger]

This is a very difficult one for me. I think that invading Iraq is a loose-loose situation. The US has never invaded another country without provacation. If we do this, we start down a slippery path we may not want to travel. If we don't, and Iraq kills a bunch of people with some terrorist incident, the critics will be all over GW for not preventing the obvious.



Looking at the situation from a purely justice angle, is it right to punish someone for what you thought they were going to do?

 

[RKelly]

These are all really good points. And it's hard to guess at what will really happen.

Here's a thought that's been in my mind for a couple of weeks, and I'd like to know if anybody else has had the same "phrase" running through their head:

"If any one man is capable of starting WW III, in the foreseeable future, it is GWB".

Anybody else thinking that?

My oldest son is 12. Took him to the range for the first time. Let him shoot one round out of my . 45 for his first "real shot".

Talk about an ear-to-ear grin.

Now he wants to shoot Bin-Laden targets.

That's my boy!
