War on Terror Options

[USCavalry]

so what do you all think about the war on terror? is it justified? is it looking hopefull?

i think it's a load of bs, how does hunting for bin laden in Afghanistan turn into what we now have in Iraq? WMDs were non existent. The only viable reason for going to Iraq in my mind would fall under the category of libertion, but i don't think that was worth what we got ourselves and iraq into.

Actually, Cuba agreed to stop what they were doing, they may not like us anymore, but they are within UN sanctions. North Korea is sitting down and speaking with the UN, and as for Iran, its only time before we are at war with them, so thats not a good argument. Cuba is not that bad actually, I am guessing you have never been there. Castro is a diplomat that has his countries interest in his mind, he just doesn't show it much.

Saddam having weapons was a reason to go to war, and it apparently worked. He is out of power and dead, and we are STILL looking for WMD's, until they have combed that entire country with a toothbrush they could be anywhere.



Well, the UN is suppose to keep countries from not going to war, and well look how that ended.

I will admit they are getting some headway with North Korea, but that is only because China would LOVE to take over the NK.

So why didnt we give Iraq the same chance then? We just used 9/11 as an excuse to invade them, with the claim that they supposedly had WMD. Before the UN could even finish their inspections, we jumped the gun. If there really were weapons, who's to say that Iraq couldnt be handled the same way Cuba, North Korea, and Iran have been?

No, I havent. As far as I know, we dont even fly planes over the country... so how could I have? Millions of Cubans have risked their lives on freaking rafts trying to escape, and still are. So it's obviously bad enough if people are taking that kind of risk to get out of there.

Oh, btw - how the heck did you get there and back? You must have swimmed.

Because the REAL Weapon Of Mass Destruction was the economy. It was the oil. You see, if you did your little history, you would see that at that time; Suddam wanted to change the currency for oil. From the U.S. Currency (Dollar) to the Euro Currency (Pound). And who would blame him? He wanted more value in the currency he received for his precious oil.

Now anyone who knows their economics, specifically between the value of the American Dollar compared to the Euro Pound... we all know that the Pound has more value than the Dollar. Why? Because we have stupid politicians who make stupid decisions of over-developing too much "paper" that our gold cannot back up.

SO! With the threat of Suddam changing the currency trade for oil.. Bush in a panic had to use the idea of WMD being developed and obtained by Suddam. Though there is some truth to that, the fact that we gave them WMD when they were fightin USSR (who of course is our enemy).

But c'mon... the WMD were too old for shit, what good would they be? They'd most likely explode as soon as they were launched, too risky to use. Anyone with intelligence in weaponry would know that weapons do in fact EXPIRE. And any one with this knowledge would most likely be in the military or some how connected, and I'm sure they'd let their officials know.


So the true WMD was the changing of currency, because IF it did happen, we'd be paying nearly if not MORE than $10 per what? Litre? Not even a damn gallon. And just about our whole industry/economy runs on oil/gasoline.

We would have been in a horrifying depression, one that would have most likely not been regulated for another 10 years.

But I gotta think like Suddam, did he think of changing the currency because of wealth? Or was it because we were in Afghanistan and Suddam felt threatened?

I don't think Suddam would change the currency to benefit himself, just for the fact that we helped him out from gettin OWNED. And saved their country's existence and their oil.

Dont you think that sounds a little extreme? Oh, and its "Euro", not "Euro Pound". Pounds are in England.

I think we did partially go to war over oil though - but not because of the value of currencies.
