yeah i agree with what you said and bush is an @$$, but i guess america just needs to do something to prove that we're all powerful. we're intimidating other countries so they won't want to come and attack us... wait, but iraq didn't attack... bin laden did, who's from saudi arabia.
aiee i'm confused. i just blank out during the news and stuff, so sorry if i got facts wrong. i'm probably wrong when i say i don't really care, but i don't. as long as our country isn't harmed, i guess it's ok. but if they start coming to us and bombing and stuff, then i'll be really mad. i'll bring together all the cb people still alive (if i'm alive) and protest bush. yay! we'll have fun.. when that day comes.. which i hope it doesn't. let's just not vote for bush when voting comes. yeah, most people say "give peace a chance." but then my friend's dad put a sign in his car saying "give war a chance" and he has all these bush bumper stickers. it's scary.. but everyone has different opinions. debates are just a chance for us to get mad at each other... </blabbing> |

QUOTE(CrackedRearView @ Jul 10 2004, 1:21 AM) Oh wow -- that was probably one of the most skewed arguments I've ver heard. For one, you provided no support for anything, and additionally, a lot of the points were flawed... "Iraq/ sadaam(sp?) has nothing to do with 9/11... AT ALL" Oh really? So, in essence, you're claming that Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein have absolutely no connection with each other? 1.) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml...2/06/nirq06.xml ^ Tony Blair, prime minister of Great Britain claims "definite links" between Iraq and Al Qaeda. 2.) http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/28/1048653833092.html Al Qaeda trained terrorist fighting on the side of the Iraqis. 3.) http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Publ...03/378fmxyz.asp Government memo detailing the connection. 4.) http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/DailyNe...205_krekar.html Radical Al Qaeda groups against Iraq... 5.) http://www.techcentralstation.com/092503F.html Further proof... "Did you know that Bin Laden was from Saudi Arabia? Yet did you hear about a war with Saudi? NO." Oh yeah? Did you know bin Laden hasn't been associated with Saudi Arabia since 1979 when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan? "Would you like to know why? Because Saudi Arabia own (or contibute, i can't find the word) about 7% of our economy" Hmm...it couldn't have to do with the fact that bin Laden is wanted in most parts of Saudi Arabia. And I'm sure the fact that there's more oil under Gull Island, AK than all of Saudi Arabia has nothing to do with our actions. I mean, honestly, we're smart about our economic choices. You strain the other country's resources, use them up, and then tap into your own. "and did you know that Bush senior and th Bin Laden's are good friends (even after 9/11). I don't think that is a coincidence" That's only half a fact. It'd be fact if you rephrased it to say "the bin Laden" family, because Bush's ties were limited to Osama's eldest brother Salem (once the head of the bin Laden fortune). Salem bin Laden and Bush were early business partners together starting up the Arbusto Oil Co. Any connection Bush had with the bin Laden family abruptly ended in '88 when Salem bin Laden died in a freak plane accident. Since, Osama has had zero tie to the president. We're killing the ones that are radically resisting us. I'd say we've done a hell of a job, seeing how infrastructure like hospitals, schools, post offices, and banks aren't being blown up daily for political support anymore. Saddam would destroy a hospital and blame it on the Kurds to gain the support of his people... We've rid the country of him, and you say we're not liberating? Fact is, they knew what we were going to do prior to doing it. We didn't. That's the fine line between war and terrorism. Oh, is that "how they live"? Wrong. They've only "lived" like that since 1968 when Al-Bakr overthrew Abdul Rahman Arif and reestablished the Baath Party. When the Arif's were in the presidency, there was even a cease-fire peace with the Kurds, which was basically unheard of. And what's the different way you combat covert, underground violence? Actually, he has the lowest I.Q. of any president in the last 50 years, Theodore Roosevelt's IQ was 90. GW's is 91. Do you not understand that war is the reason this country exists? What kind of work did he only do 45% of, and where are you coming up with your numbers? Oh, and when he was at that school -- what did you expect him to do? Panic, and send the entire class into an uproar? Put on his superman cape and fly to the scene? I didn't stop my exam and run to the T.V... It's also completely biased, Michael Moore garbage. I don't know how some people take him seriously... thank gosh...i`m glad somebody said it and for those who wish GORE was voted president...wow... you honestly think gore would have done a better job this election term?!?! omg...i think we would all be dead if he was president...  but gore does NOT need to be president...and probably didnt run this term because he knew that...

I`m not sayin hes the next FDR and i`m not saying he may be the smartest person alive, but c`mon...cut him a little slack...we all did for clinton and monica at least =] you took the words right outta my mouth.  btw, Bush is a republican.

I think we went to war yeah sure for the terrorist, but having control oil ain't bad seeing as we depend on other countries for it so why not take control of a country that is in trouble and has oil

There are many countries in this location: Iraq, Iran, Syria, etc. So yes we are technically waging war on them because we are fighting Iraq . . . or were. |

Hell no. AGAIN! he didn`t WANT too...its not like he had a choice...and a lot of it goes into ending terrorism... so yea...he IS a conservative...more conservative than liberal...he may not be a strong one but he is one |
