The United States military hasn't won a war against a notable adversary since 1945, and in *that* war, we were engaged with our allies in efforts to rid the world of dictatorships and military machines that came close to taking over the world. We fought to a draw in Korea, we had out butts handed to us in Vietnam, and, since then, we've used our might correctly and incorrectly in a series of little bitty wars against fifth-rate powers. Like Iraq. It is a minor victory, and I mean minor, for our forces to have captured Saddam alive so he can be put on trial. After his capture was announced, there was a car bomb explosion in Iraq that killed 17 people, or so I heard on the news. So, as soon as you get over the five point bump in the polls that this will give Bush (and a bump in the polls was all Iraq ever was about), ask yourself these questions: 1. Is the US safer from terrorist attacks now than it was yesterday? If so, what proof have you to offer? 2. Where are the WMD that Iraq has or had? 3. Where is the proof of a direct, serious connection between Saddam and Osama in terms of 9-11? 4. Is the Middle East any more safer or rational today? 5. Will hostilities cease in Iraq? 6. Should we expect a retaliatory strike from the Moslem world on US soil? Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and seven months to find one man. I can't help recall reading of some of the heroic events of WW II, in which our troops, along with the troops of many other nations, liberated, at great cost, entire nations, and were greeted in the streets of the cities by huge crowds planting flowers and kisses on them. Now, what have we? We captured Saddam Hussein. Now what? -- Email sent to is never read. |

Are you suggesting that the Iraqi's are not pleased that SH has been
captured? CNN feels that it is a "monumental day in history", is it because they are paid off by Halliburton Corp? "Gould 0738" wrote in message ...

My satiricial jab was in response to "dancing in the street". People behave differently in front of TV camears and large numbers of heavily armed soldiers. They aim to please. Good thing SH is gone. But when watching the dancers, don't forget that the jubilant crowd around the statue toppling last spring was later revealed to be a staged-for-TV event. |

I believe that they are quite pleased, at least SOME OF THEM, that Saddam is gone. I also believe that they are quite displeased with the fact that BushCo is occupying their country, and trying to tell them what god to pray to, etc., etc. It's a damned shame that the conservatives can't seem to grasp that their are cultural differences in this world, and it isn't up to the U.S. to make every country bow to God and Rush. |

OT--Congratulations to the 4th ID
Ainl't it a bitch when something good happens! Damn, I hope the Dow goes up
another thousand points in the next few months. Y'all will be crying your poor eyeballs out! John On the 'Poco Loco' out of Deale, MD ??????????? What the heck does the capture of Saddam Hussein have to do with the Dow going up or down? It's been going up pretty nicely, lately, and SH wasn't caught until this morning. You righties sure get things confused. I heard a RW talk show host today suggest that "Democrats should get down on their knees and beg the forgiveness of our men and women in the military!" Really? How 'bout the Democrats *in* the military? Who are they supoosed to apolgize to- and for what? Saddam Hussein hasn't h ad effective control in Iraq since last spring. I'm very glad he's been captured- but it is tough to imagine how that is going to change very much. And good news for you, John. You guys couldn't show the WMD existed. You couldn;'t show how Iraq's nuclear weapons program existed. You couldn't show how an imminent threat to the US existed. But, congratulations.....there can no longer be any doubt that Saddam Hussein existed. :-) |
