unknown Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 crash, how is Iraq threatening your freedom? they are not the ones sending gun ships to your shore lines and flying attack aircraft over your skies. this war isnt about terrorism or the freeing the Iraqi people. Its about oil! Quite frankly I believe that the U.S. has absolutely no right to be in Iraq without the permission of the UN. It strikes me as odd that there is un-deniable proof that Korea has weapons of mass destruction that could it the USA, yet you didnt invade them. Why? because they have no natural resources for the american government to get their hands on. Yet upon a search of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq revealed nothing you attacked them anyway because they have OIL! tice that the gas prices went down the very day the 48 hours was given to Iraq? Saddam is a brutal dictator but you know what that doesnt give you the right to go in their and start bombing innocent women and children. I am glad the Prime Minister Chretien refused to help the US in the war effort because I dont want my tax dollars paying for bombs to kill babies overseas. say what you want about me, but this war is just about Bush serving is precious need to get his gun off!
ninjanurse Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Did you know that a majority of the oil fields in Iraq are owned by FRANCE? Did you know that several US oil companies DO NOT get their oil from IRAQ? Preserving the oil wells in Iraq is vital for the people that live there (environmentally and economically) and US motives may not be as selfish as you think.

unknown Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 who gives a damn about who owns the oil fields in Iraq? they are there and Bush wants to get his hands on them. yeah i do know that a majority of the oil fields are owned by france and you get alot of your oil from places other than Iraq but those sources are running low and Bush is looking for a new place to get oil. it doesnt matter if france owns those oil wells anyway......they refused to help Bush out in the war so now when Bush gets control of Iraq he isnt gonna give a F*ck who owns them....he is just gonna waltz right in and take em'! by the way can i get some french fries......opps I'm sorry Freedom Fries with my burger?
kchenault Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 He wants to open Alaska for oil, unknown, not Iraq. Europe, for the most part has forgotten who saves their a$$ time and again because the majority would just bend over and take it up the wazoo if they had their way. Should America have let Hitler continue to do what he was doing in the 40's? If we had, this world would be a hell of a lot different. You think we like having to be the playground cop for the spineless politicians in Europe? We don't. I say we cut off all economic help that the rest of the world gets from the great satan America and see how fast famine, disease, poverty, and war takes over the rest of the world before we have to clean it up again. I have to say, I am ashamed of my last name. Ken ChenaultTFT - It does a body good!
Maestro Posted March 25, 2003 Posted March 25, 2003 Even if the war is "about" oil, it doesn't matter, it is still accomplishing something that needs to be done. I don't think Bush has all these alterior motives, but even if he did, the fact is that when this is all over, Saddam will be out of power, and that's what's important. As for bombing Women and children that is a ridiculous argument. Innocent people will die in removing Saddam from power but it is nothing compared to who would die (and has died) under Saddam. Have you ever actually talked to someone from Iraq? I personally know two people who have lived under Saddam and they are more vehemenently pro-war than anyone I have ever met. Also the only thing I have heard from interviews of people in Iraq has been overwhelming support for the war. Do you think America is some imperialist nation out to steal resources from the world? Come on, look at our history. It took non-stop submarine attacks to get us into WWI, a direct attack on our land to get us into WWII. We've tried to be isolationist throughout the last century but couldn't because THE WORLD NEEDS US. South Koreans are now resentful of the American troops stationed there, without which their culture would not exist. America has gone out of it's way to help the rest of the world. Look at what Japan has become, look at south Korea, look at the Marshal plan especially. Yup, we really are just a bunch of capitalists out for our own good.Yet upon a search of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq revealed nothing you attacked them anyway because they have OIL! Are you for real? They've been launching SCUD missles left and right that they supposedly didn't have. I guess they must have just stumbled across those in some abandoned warehouse they forgot about, right? The empty chemical warheads were no doubt just sitting around waiting for a spot to open up in the Iraqi Museum of Military History, 'cause no way could he actually have anything to put in them. C'mon, he's got 'em and everyone knows it. Maybe he's not going to use them, maybe he's not going to give them to terrorists, But you up in "unknown" Canada aren't the ones who'll need to worry about it if he does, so you just go on hoarding your tax dollars. Might as well take my advice--I don't use it anymore.

ninjanurse Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 Thank you Ken! Excellent points Maestro! BTW Ken, it's the French who should be ashamed...not you! "kung yeht!"

BlueDragon1981 Posted March 26, 2003 Posted March 26, 2003 I heard that Russia and France have secretly been suppling Iraq with weapons. This could just be rumor but it would not surprize me the least. Also it is believed that North Korea may start helping them.
unknown Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 alot of the weapons that the middle east have are old Soviet tanks, AK- 47's stuff like that
ZR440 Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Does anyone remember the boatload of missles that the US held off the Persian Gulf? That came from N Korea. Those were brand new. And as far as oil goes, the US gets most of it's oil from Canada, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Mexico, in that order. Yes, my friends, Canada is the largest importer of oil to the US. The province of Aberta is bursting with hydrocarbons waiting to be consumed by my Chevy Vortec engine. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
