Good point. Perhaps Saddam was responsible for 9/11...and just used al
Qaeda mercernaries for cover.



And perhaps he was not. The previous deadly terrorist attack in the USA
was perpetrated by U.S. citizens. You do remember Oklahoma City, right?

Islamic terrorist groups seem quick to "take responsibility" for various
actions, and sometimes more than one group chimes in. The various
branches of the IRA used to do the same.

At some point we're going to need perpetrators and evidence that
satisfies civilian courts. "Military court" justice is an oxymoron.
Of course, the Bush-shippers just want to pretend they've caught the
real perps. That's one of the reasons we invaded Iraq in the absence of
real evidence.

What the hell do you know about military courts? Ever participated in a court
martial? Ever administered an Article 15? Ever conducted an Article 32
investigation? I didn't think so.

The violence will probably go up for a while. But the capture of Saddam

Why, Person 2, of course. No contest.

Person 1, I presume by your reference, is Bill Clinton. You forgot to
mention that he then lied directly and deliberately about the events no less
than seventeen times, at least twice under oath.

Person 2 would be Saddam Hussein. I think 5,000 is a serious
underestimation, although everyone will agree he's a world-class slug.

Now, does this quiz have a point?

I think it will be even better because he was found in a little hole, and
gave up without a fight. After telling his troops and followers to fight to

It's important to exercise what remaining Constitutional rights there

no mistake about it, they *are* being taken away by the Bush
Administration. Thanks to Bush and his pack of neoCons, we are being

There was a recent report from an independent group that concluded that

also concluded the US went to great measures to avoid civilian casualties.



There also are reports from independent groups that upwards of 10,000
non-combatant Iraqi civilians were killed as a result of wounds or bombs

As far as Saddam hiding himself among civilians, you've obviously not
been to Washington, D.C., where the federal government is mixed in with
hundreds of thousands of civilians who have nothing to do with the
federal government. Yeah, I know...Saddam and other dictators
deliberately build themselves bunkers next to apartment houses. But,
then, there are federal buildings - possible targets - adjacent to
apartment buildings, townhouses, subway stations, et cetera.

The fact remains that Bush invaded Iraq for strictly personal political
reasons. If he hadn't been tanking in the polls, and desperate to draw
attention away from his adminstration's failure to capture the perps of
9-11, we never would have invaded.

BTW, what evidence is there - I mean real evidence - that Osama was
responsible for 9-11? Yes, I know Osama has made some oblique
references, and so have his followers, but what irrefutable evidence is
there that we really, truly know what persons really are responsible for

You should go read your sources.

Harry stated, "There also are reports from independent groups that upwards of
10,000 non-combatant Iraqi civilians were killed as a result of wounds or bombs
from US troops.

I accused him of telling a lie.

You made your statement above.

Reading the source of the data shows this for the city of Baghdad during the
period from April 14 to August 31:

"The morgue is said to record some 90% of "violent, suspicious" deaths in the
city. Currently about 60% and above of these deaths are the result of gunshot
wounds; this compares to approximately 10% pre-war. People killed by coalition
forces amount to an estimated 15-20% of gunshot victims brought to the morgue
according to a Newsweek report, but most of the violence is Iraqi-on-Iraqi."

Note that the great majority of deaths were "Iraqi-on-Iraqi" with only 15-20%
killed by coalition forces. Note also that these are not categorized as
"innocent woman and children."

These comments by Harry, supported by you, are intended to reflect badly on the
military and the administration, and are bull****.

non-combatant Iraqi civilians were killed as a result of wounds or bombs
from US troops.

As far as Saddam hiding himself among civilians, you've obviously not
been to Washington, D.C., where the federal government is mixed in with
hundreds of thousands of civilians who have nothing to do with the
federal government. Yeah, I know...Saddam and other dictators
deliberately build themselves bunkers next to apartment houses. But,
then, there are federal buildings - possible targets - adjacent to
apartment buildings, townhouses, subway stations, et cetera.

The fact remains that Bush invaded Iraq for strictly personal political
reasons. If he hadn't been tanking in the polls, and desperate to draw
attention away from his adminstration's failure to capture the perps of
9-11, we never would have invaded.

BTW, what evidence is there - I mean real evidence - that Osama was
responsible for 9-11? Yes, I know Osama has made some oblique
references, and so have his followers, but what irrefutable evidence is
there that we really, truly know what persons really are responsible for
9-11?

We aren't about to invade Saudia Arabia.

Where, Harry? Where are these reports of 10,000 non-combatant deaths you are
attributing to the US? Such bull**** coming from a Bay fisherman!

Medact estimates between 7,757 and 9,965 civilian deaths between March and
October.

You should go read your sources.

Harry stated, "There also are reports from independent groups that upwards of
10,000 non-combatant Iraqi civilians were killed as a result of wounds or bombs
from US troops.

I accused him of telling a lie.

You made your statement above.

Reading the source of the data shows this for the city of Baghdad during the
period from April 14 to August 31:

"The morgue is said to record some 90% of "violent, suspicious" deaths in the
city. Currently about 60% and above of these deaths are the result of gunshot
wounds; this compares to approximately 10% pre-war. People killed by coalition
forces amount to an estimated 15-20% of gunshot victims brought to the morgue
according to a Newsweek report, but most of the violence is Iraqi-on-Iraqi."

Note that the great majority of deaths were "Iraqi-on-Iraqi" with only 15-20%
killed by coalition forces. Note also that these are not categorized as
"innocent woman and children."

These comments by Harry, supported by you, are intended to reflect badly on the
military and the administration, and are bull****.

I see. The death count includes only those bodies brought to the morgue
in Baghdad.

No. I put the blame for their deaths on the guy that used them as human

I'd say you were rationalizing, but, then, you're a conservative and
such deaths do not concern you.

The guy chose to hide himself and his weapons among his civilian population.
There was a recent report from an independent group that concluded that
"several hundred" (*not* thousands) Iraqi civilian deaths could have been
prevented by avoiding the use of certain types of munitions. However, they
also concluded the US went to great measures to avoid civilian casualties.

Now I'm waiting to see how many congratulatory messages are posted by

Harry,
jps, basskisser, et al. Should be interesting reading.

They are so immersed in hatred for everything Bush and anything
patriotic, there will be no positive comments.

Dean in '04 LOL


There is no connection whatsoever between true patriotism and the Bush
Adminstration. Bush and his crew are nothing but right-wing whores.


The capture of Saddam is a good thing. The Bush administration is

responsible.
Yippee. Can't wait to hear Dean. Gotta be fun to watch.

Huh, the way I understand it, it was the 4th infantry, and that was
with information supplied by Iraqis.


I understand the maon info was not supplied knowingly. The cell phones were
monitored and the info was developed that way. Final location by
interrogation of a captive.
