'nobody is innocent' is a great phrase. Is your country?

Sure, when troops die, they know what they got themselves into, same with photographers, journalists, etc. Sometimes reality stings no?

"The cruise missile that exploded close to her home in the Radwaniyeh suburb of Baghdad blasted shrapnel into her tiny legs ­ they were bound up with gauze ­ and, far more seriously, into her spine. Now she has lost all movement in her left leg."

It's just the USA flexing it's muscles actually. I think they got a little bored somehow. Yeah, yeah all that retoric will come from the aftermath of the war. Innocents die and people are being demolished etc, etc, Yawn, this goes on everyday in Africa and no one cares. Blah, blah, blah Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Ohh, PS mostly at the hands of former colonialists/ex-pats from Portugal and France. Again, nobody is innocent in the world. Don't even get me started.

IRAQ will be free in a matter of a month, then everyone will be saying well uhmm, well uhhhh you did this wrong and that wrong. Bottomline, bye bye Saddam your ass is grass.

I agree with a lot that is being discussed but I must say that I will not stand by and let Iraq dictate who their oil will go to in this way. It is extremely dangerous since the anti-semetic / anti-isreal countries (Iraq, France, Germany & China) all have signed these agreements. I think there is a hidden agenda here - thus our country (the US) will put an end to it fast. You must understand that we will not allow this and this is a war I feel strongly about and would even goes as far as to fighting for.

If someone wants to learn more about the war, the interests of France and Russia, etc., take a look at Frontline on now.
So far, very interesting. The UN should have acted and taken him out years ago. $10 Billion spent on nuclear weapons development. They had a bomb almost ready for the frist war. Is it ready now? Guess we'll see.

JazX - Africa does not have oil. Jazx you have to read in order to learn. Your comments are well-meaning but just lack content. Inform yourself in order to keep up with this dialogue.

The US and it's allies in Gulf 1 mad a wise choice NOT to kill Saddam then. It would have been worse. It became a duck shoot and too many Iraqi lives (soldiers) were being slaughtered. It would not have looked good.
I do want to attempt at placing some of this de-placed emphasis off of the civilian casualty loss. Please understand that the US had ZERO intent on casualty loss. Here are some MAJOR percautions we are taking that NOBODY else has ever taken in a war:
Our tanks roll with flood lights ON giving the Iraqi troops an advantage at seeing us coming to option their right to surrender.
During the Shock & Awe campaign we left the power on, telephone lines on, and water on allowing the civilians to communicate and show that this is a force against their regime and not them.
We continue to poor BILLIONS of dollars into our technology to specify it's target as much as possible. Of course mistakes happen. We are human but we are doing our best to keep the casualty count to a min.

UnitedStates, I wasn't refering to you but to some of my fellow Swedes with that "america-hater" comment. However, as Slick says, you here a lot of "If you're not with us you're against us". Black or white, on or off. And that goes for the whole UN debate also.
"I will not stand by and let Iraq dictate who their oil will go to in this way". What if Iraq feels the same way, that they don't want anyone else to decide where their oil should go? And why should USA do this on their own?

United States, yesterday you swore blind to me and others that this war was not about oil.
And now today you have done a 180 degree turn.I admire the fact that you went off and did some research and want to appologies for calling you a 'cock head' yesterday but you can surely see why I got so mad at you now that you have finally informed yourself on the subject you've been so vocal about in the past.
I am no longer posting in war threads.

You are an hypocrite if you are against war and pro troops.
It's the soldiers that are shooting, killing iraqi and their own people, doing the war.
I understand that you don't want your american fellows to be hurt but it's their choice for fighting.
But you either can be for anti war or pro war or else you are just being sanctimonious

dude I play in these threads, not serious, that's why they are mostly one-liners. It's more amusement for me. lol

UnitedStates, PS dude Africa has plenty of Oil, try Nigeria one of the countries that is part of OPEC. Another substantial quantity is in Angola and in other areas of the West Coast. Ever heard of the French company called ELF? They are big in raping that land down there. It's offshore mostly. There aren't many land-deposits, but believe me there are plenty of anti-clines they can drill for both natural and petroleum based stuff. I have a BS in Geology in case you were wondering?
