And how was Iran a bigger threat?
And if Iran was such a big threat why help Iran during the same war later on?
What question?
I didnt pose a question I made my case, something you refused to acknoledge.
And learn to distinguish between reporting and propaganda.
Dont act like I claimed that everything the US said or showed was propaganda.
Constant demonising of those who have a differing vieuw in a selfhypnotising way.
Sick.

No im not, the only way I would be for this war is if those who called for it are tried for crimes against humanity, not for this war but for their personal roles in help making Saddam the monster he became, and yes for me that includes Chirac.
I wasn't twisting your words. Those who helped make him the monster he became. Had we not worked with Russia, the world would've been a lot different.
Iran was actively working against us whereas Iraq was not. Therefore, Iran was the threat.

But they don't care for the U.S. much either. From what I'm hearing, both on the news and from my family in Iran, is that when this is over Iraqi's are going to be wondering when the U.S. will leave.
Iran? The Iranians can read the Iraqis minds? And the Iraqis hate the US, too? Those pictures... oh right. Propaganda.

I'll stand by my claim that it was wrong to go to war in the first place. We didn't have UN support, which creates a dangerous precedent for other countries to follow in. We made up the connection between Saddam and Al-Qaida.
At least you're consistent. That, I commend you for. We made up the connection? How?

Why did we suddenly feel the urge to go to war with Iraq when we still hadn't found Osama Bin Laden?
:rolleyes:
Quote:
It doesn't make sense and I'm sure everyone knows my opinion on our true reasons for being over there. Regardless, it's good to see Saddam gone and I'm happy for those people.
So... it was wrong for us to go and you hold on to that opinion but ... what we did was good. Okay.

As for the Vietnam thing, Carter quit being an asshole.
How does pointing out your own words make me an asshole?
Quote:
First of all, this whole things hasn't panned out yet and even then I'll admit that it doesn't look like it's going to be another Vietnam.
So I'm an asshole for saying that it isn't another Vietnam because it hasn't panned out yet ... but it doesn't look like it's gonna be another Vietnam.
Quote:
I can admit when I'm wrong, but to rub my face in it isn't necessary.
I haven't seen you do it yet but I'll take your word for it. And what've I rubbed in your face? I said, that you had said it was likely to be another Vietnam and I basically asked, where is it?
Quote:
Another point to why you are no class act.
Well, if I had actually made the comment, then you could bitch at me about it. But I didn't, so back off. As it is, I thought Yeller was a bit easy on me.
Quote:
So perhaps it was a little extreme for me to equate this to Vietnam. I'll admit it.
But you just called me an asshole because I said you'd said that! Hypocrisy!
Quote:
So go on and gloat you egotistical ass.
My ass is very egotistical. But on a serious note, if my being happy for free Iraqis and my being happy that I said it would be this way the whole time is gloating, fine. I'll stand by that. I've said it the whole time. I supported their liberation, you didn't. Sorry if I'm a little bubbly right now but there's a city of 5 million freed now because of my army.

Lastly, in retrospect, everyone seemed to be hyping this Battle for Baghdad as the end all battle for Iraq.
You're the only one making it out to be an endgame.
Quote:
There was supposed to be huge casualties and massive urban warfare.
I never thought so.
Quote:
Yeah, right. Maybe it was the media, but it seemed like this war was seriously overexaggerated.
I agree. I completely agree. The media blew it up.
Quote:
I commend our troops for doing a fantastic job in securing Baghdad so quickly and with minimal deaths overall. Now hurry home!
So, you're commending them on doing something they shouldn't have been doing? You said yourself, they shouldn't be there.
And we're not finished yet, as I've said many times before. We've got weapons to find and destroy.
