Hand it over....You mean after we took it under the pretense that it
was some sort of danger to the US?
Okay it isn't really a danger to the US but does that mean that we
shouldn't be there to help those people who live in a country where
these sort of bombings take place? Most American soldiers who are in
Iraq feel that we are doing the right thing based off what they see in
Iraq, yet I have rarely ever seen the media interviewing these
people. I know a lot of Marines personally and they all tell me how
much good they feel they are doing by being there. I don't trust the
medias interpretation because they are not the ones in Iraq fighting
the war, talking to the people and living it every day. They only tell
the parts of the story they want you to hear to manipulate you into
feeling their side is right and we are doing the wrong thing there but
I always believe a soldier before a reporter. It's sort of a rule for
me. The soldiers say let us stay and finish this, so I say okay.
Gawd Bill...
It never was a danger ,
There were few if any bombings before our invasion,
Soldiers are hardly gonna say they are doing the wrong thing now are
they?
Do your Marine friends have any idea why they were put there in the
first place (no WMD, No terrorist training and Saddam despised Bin
Laden)
Do you believe your Govt?

Those pesky facts... darn it.

It's a fact all the other Mideast countries in the region, some that
have more, and some that have less oil are all doing good, and have
created somewhat properious countries. Look at Kuwait for example. In
Iraq the world can see what a Stalinist-type regime can do to people.
It's a fact Saddam Hussein was paying $25,000 to the relatives of
Palestinian suicide bombers. In Tulkarm, one of the poorest towns on
the West Bank, a member of the Palestinian Legislative Council handed
out the checks from Saddam. The payments have been made for at least
two years, but the amount has suddenly jumped up by $15,000 - a bonus
for the families of martyrs, to reward those taking part in the
escalating war against Israel.
It's a fact Saddam lost the gulf war, and when he surrendered, he
promised to allow un-restricted inspections at any time. He did not
follow through on the commitment.
It's a fact he was shooting at American planes in the "NO FLY ZONE"
put in place by the UN to keep him from murdering Iraqi's who did not
support him.
It's a fact we offered Saddam an out. If you can remember (I doubt it)
President Bush said before we went in, that if Saddam and his boys
leave the country we would not go in.
It's a fact, you and OZ blame the USA, and ignore Saddams actions.
Those pesky facts.
Joe
Paul McGeough, reporting from the West Bank, was the only foreign
correspondent in the hall Monday night when a Palestinian official
handed out the checks. McGeough's story in today's Sydney Morning
Herald describes a very hellish twist on the Academy Awards:
