  1. Simple retort: Where are the WMD? I haven't seen any proof yet by the inspectors to that extent, granted they DID find harmful materials, they didn't find what Bush says they have. don't be so naive...my mom always suspected I had porn as a teen but she could never find it......i kept her at bay with lies, deception, and a good hiding spot... Documented Iraqi Use of Chemical Weapons Date Area Used Type of Agent Approximate Casualties Target Population Aug 1983 Hajj Umran Mustard fewer than 100 Iranians/Kurds Oct-Nov 1983 Panjwin Mustard 3,000 Iranian/Kurds Feb-Mar 1984 Majnoon Island Mustard 2,500 Iranians Mar 1984 al-Basrah Tabun 50 to 100 Iranians Mar 1985 Hawizah Marsh Mustard/Tabun 3,000 Iranians Feb 1986 al-Faw Mustard/Tabun 8,000 to 10,000 Iranians Dec 1986 Umm ar Rasas Mustard thousands Iranians Apr 1987 al-Basrah Mustard/Tabun 5,000 Iranians Oct 1987 Sumar/Mehran Mustard/nerve agents 3,000 Iranians Mar 1988 Halabjah Mustard/nerve agents hundreds Iranians/Kurds And what about North Korea? they ADMIT to having WMD. And why aren't we dealing with them? (AP) - North Korea said Friday that President Bush signaled U.S. plans to attack its nuclear facilities when he said he did not rule out using military force against the North. The North had no immediate comment, however, on Bush's remarks at a news conference Thursday in Washington that multilateral dialogue was the best way to deal with the communist nation's nuclear development. The North has warned that the nuclear issue can only be solved in direct U.S.-North Korean talks. i would say this is a little proof that we are dealing with them on a uni-lateral basis.....iraq is our problem alone.....
  2. it just goes to show saddams intentions.....i bet these people are still willing to defend that cocksucker.....they should have there picture put on the front page of all newspapers and on the fbi's website with a big fat SADDAMS CUMRAG written in red across their face....

  12. the US is the worlds only super power.......the other players are trying to keep our power in check......they want to prove that the US can't impose what they will without the backing of the international community......i believe its 70% power struggles, 20% protecting their billion $$ business contracts with iraq and the region in general, and 10% humanitarian concerns.....when we are victorious there are going to be huge shifts of power in the world and people that were not on board with us are going to be left behind for quite some time.....i think the american people also feel that we are sincerely doing the right thing to squash one of our biggest threats and to help to spark a democratic wave in the middle east.....
  13. I LOVE WHEN THE NEWS WIRES ARE REELING LIKE THIS!!! HISTORY IN THE MAKING!!
  14. UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - In contrast to the Bush administration, chief U.N. arms inspector Hans Blix said on Wednesday that Iraq (news - web sites) had stepped up disarmament cooperation recently. While he said there were still many open questions about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, Blix refused to join in the blanket U.S. condemnation of Iraqi cooperation. Speaking at a news conference, two days before he presents another crucial report to the U.N. Security Council, Blix also said the outbreak of war would discredit inspections not only in Iraq but elsewhere. And he said he would release "benchmarks" or unresolved issues for Iraq disarmament on Friday, a report wanted by several countries seeking a compromise between the U.S.-British position of invading Iraq and the French-German-Russian view that inspections should continue without limits. Blix has been careful not to give ammunition to either side in the Iraq crisis. Diplomats said if his Friday report is too positive, it might influence those Security Council members who remain undecided on whether or not to vote for a U.S.-British-Spanish resolution that would authorize war. His Friday report is the next big showpiece in the Security Council with foreign ministers from France, Britain, Spain, Syria, Germany as well as Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) due to attend. Blix called the destruction of Iraq's al-Samoud 2 missiles "real disarmament." Iraq has scrapped about 19 out of 100 missiles since Saturday after inspectors said their range exceeded U.N. limits by a short distance. "Here, weapons that can be used in war are destroyed in fairly large quantities. There's a whole program, and it is the various items that are related to that, like launchers, casting chambers, etc. These are being destroyed," Blix said. He spoke shortly before Powell said Iraq was hiding machinery to make al-Samoud missiles and had no intention of handing over all the missiles and associated components to the United Nations (news - web sites) for destruction. WAR DISCREDITS CONCEPT OF INSPECTIONS Blix also regretted that inspections would probably be curtailed through military action and said war would discredit the concept of disarmament through inspections, not just in Iraq but elsewhere. "If war breaks out, I think that it is a serious failure for the approach through inspections to disarmament," Blix said. But Blix acknowledged that it was clear the stepped up activity by Iraq was motivated by the U.S. military threat. "There is a great deal more cooperation now and the threat certainly has brought it there," he said. In answer to questions, he said his inspection teams could not verify claims that Iraq had destroyed anthrax or VX chemical agents by digging in areas Baghdad said the poisons were buried. But he also said Iraq had for the first time in recent weeks allowed seven private interviews with scientists and other officials -- without minders or tape recorders. He said that, in addition to Cyprus, he had asked an Arab country, which he did not identify, to host inspectors and Iraqi scientists who agree to be interviewed outside Iraq. The United States and Britain still have not won enough support to pass a U.N. resolution authorizing war against Iraq and now face new threat from France and Russia to veto such a resolution. At the United Nations on Tuesday, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) at his monthly lunch with Security Council ambassadors, appealed for unity and compromise among the major powers on the council. He also asked Canadian Ambassador Paul Heinbecker to brief him on a proposal that would set benchmarks or tests for Iraqi disarmament by March 28. If Iraq failed to adhere to them the council would face the possibility of war. Blix indirectly is helping the Canadian proposal by producing a list of unresolved tasks this week that could be used as benchmarks. "He (Annan) is supportive of the concept behind it," Heinbecker said. "I don't know if he would endorse every detail of it. But the idea of a compromise between the two positions is what he is talking about."
  15. Islamic Summit Rocked as Iraq Slams Kuwait Reuters Wednesday, March 5, 2003; 12:18 PM By Ghaida Ghantous DOHA, Qatar (Reuters) - Bitter enmity between Iraq and Kuwait erupted in a vitriolic name-calling match on Wednesday at an Islamic summit meant to unite the voices of the world's one billion Muslims against war. In a clash caught on live television before the Qatar state broadcaster shut down transmission, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's top aide Izzat Ibrahim departed from his text to zero in on the Kuwaitis sitting across the conference chamber. "Shut up you minion, you (U.S.) agent, you monkey. You are addressing Iraq," Ibrahim said. "You are insolent. You are a traitor to the Islamic nation," he spat out as Qatar's Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani tried to shut him up. A Kuwaiti delegate responded that the insults were "the words of an infidel and a charlatan," as the two sides shouted and gesticulated angrily at each other. Key U.S. Gulf ally Kuwait, which is publicly grateful to Washington for leading a coalition that liberated it from Iraqi occupation in 1991, is hosting thousands of U.S. Army and Marine forces in preparation for a possible invasion of Iraq. Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah al Ahmad al Sabah told reporters the clash proved that only the voluntary exile of Saddam and his leadership could avert war. This step was "the only thing and the miracle that can end this matter and the miracle is in the Iraqis' hands," he said. Muslim leaders had hoped the emergency summit of the 56-member Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) would send a clear message opposing an attack on Iraq. But no new initiatives to halt the drive toward war were discussed, and the summit only agreed a broad statement on Iraq which said diplomacy should be given more time. The written statement was not read on Qatar television, which only broadcast general closing remarks. "Islamic countries would not participate in any military action which targets the security and territorial integrity of Iraq or any Muslim country," the statement said. In fact, several Gulf states plus OIC member Turkey host U.S. forces and bases which would be used in an attack on Iraq. As Muslim leaders flew out of Doha, U.S. heavy transport aircraft were flying in, continuing the military buildup. Only a quarter of OIC members sent their heads of state to the one-day gathering, the latest in a series of top-level Muslim or Arab gatherings called at short notice in a desperate but so far unavailing bid to halt the slide to war. RELIGION UNDER THREAT, SAYS IRAQ Ibrahim, second-in-command of Iraq's Revolutionary Command Council told the members of the world's largest Islamic grouping that they were all at risk from "the reckless and foolish United States" and said Baghdad expected "concrete steps to support Iraq against this tyrant." "There should be a point-blank refusal of any aggression and no help should be given to this enemy... We hope Islamic nations can face the challenge that is before them," he said. "In the face of this bitter reality, we must rally our forces and the foremost condition for our success is joint Muslim action," Ibrahim added. "We must not allow anyone to break our ranks or religion will be wiped out and our territories placed under foreign control." Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri again rebuffed proposals that Saddam go into exile to avert war, telling reporters it was President Bush who should "step down and leave other people to live in
  16. U.S. Students Protest Possible Iraq War By JOANN LOVIGLIO The Associated Press Wednesday, March 5, 2003; 3:38 PM High school and college students across the country walked out of class Wednesday to protest a war with Iraq, holding a series of rallies organizers predicted would be the biggest campus demonstrations since the Vietnam War. Tens of thousands of students at more than 300 colleges and universities pledged to join in the protests, according to the National Youth and Student Peace Coalition. Thousands of students also rallied for peace in Britain, Sweden, Spain, Australia and other countries. The Books Not Bombs protests were also geared to call attention to the effects of a war's costs on education, health care and the economy. But the focus was the looming threat of war with Iraq. Manon Terrell, a 19-year-old sophomore, missed three classes to take part in a rally at Stanford University, where about 300 people carried signs that read "It's the Middle East, not the Wild West" and "The majority of us didn't vote for this war." "This is a personal thing for me because my friends are going to fight this war," said Terrell, a civil engineering major. "It's not going to be Bush and his cronies in business suits on the front lines. They're going to take people of color and poor people." Dozens of Stanford professors endorsed the rally, either by telling students there would be no penalties for leaving class or by canceling class. About 500 students walked out of class at the University of Maryland. In Milwaukee, 40 students lined the sidewalk in front of the Marquette University student union during an hour-long protest. "It's good to let people know students have a say in what happens in the world," said Abir Chaudhry, 19, who carried a sign that read "God Does Not Bless America Only." Sporadic rain fell as about 1,500 protesters - and a small number of Bush supporters holding a counter demonstration - gathered at Penn State University. After an hour-long rally, about half the protesters marched four blocks to the municipal building, where Mayor Bill Welch accepted petitions asking the borough council to oppose war with Iraq and resist elements of the USA Patriot and the Homeland Security acts. About 125 students and a few faculty members turned out in gray, drizzly weather for a rally at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Ross Meyer, a junior and founder of a student peace group, said he was disappointed by the turnout. "I am patriotic and loyal to my country," he told the crowd. Someone called out to urge the crowd to support the government if the United States invades Iraq. Two sisters, Kate and Allie Dunn, traveled to a New York City anti-war rally from suburban Westchester County to express their support of the Bush administration. "Remember 9-11?" asked a sign carried by 18-year-old Kate. Farther north, around 100 people took part in a "Mall Walk for Peace" at a suburban Albany, N.Y., shopping mall to protest the arrest of 61-year-old man who wore a T-shirt that read "Peace on Earth" and "Give Peace a Chance" while he shopped two days earlier. Another anti-war group, Not in Our Name, called on workers to call out sick and business owners to close up shop Wednesday as part of a "national moratorium to stop the war on Iraq." It could not immediately be determined whether any widespread sick-outs had occurred. Andrew Pearson took the day off from work to hang anti-war banners from highway bridges and later joined a demonstration at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. "We're trying to show folks across North Carolina that people are ready and willing to disrupt their daily lives to stop the war," Pearson said. Joe McTaggart, 49, who skipped work and joined about 100 demonstrators in Raleigh, N.C., said he thinks a war is "going to be such a disaster I had to come out." "There's a lot of people who are against the war, but don't say anything," he said. In Virginia, where many colleges were on spring break, only two students showed up for a demonstration at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. "If this were something the world wanted to do together, I would support it," said Jim Sparks, a 32-year-old biology graduate student. "It's a big mistake to go it alone." ---
  17. the people of iraq want change....they just can't express their views or the will disappear into thin air.....its just like this country....much of the focus is on protestors....however, the silent majority supports the war.....
  18. mongooses and rattle snakes also have a very short fuses....
  19. see latest results 75% of Britons back war...(Contingent upon UN) BRITISH public opinion last night swung dramatically behind American and UK military action to disarm Iraq. In a major victory for Tony Blair, 75 per cent of voters said they back a war if the UN gives the all-clear. A poll by Mori shows a significant ten per cent swing behind Mr Blair since he launched his campaign for public hearts and minds last month. The change of mood emerged as the PM prepared to summon Parliament for an emergency debate on Saturday next week. That would almost certainly follow a decision to join America in the first air strikes against Saddam on Thursday or Friday, as revealed by The Sun. The poll shows support for war depends on evidence that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction. Mori chief Bob Worcester said: “This latest research shows Blair has turned a corner. There has also been a fall in the number of people who would oppose military action without UN backing. “Opposition falls to two in five if the inspectors do find evidence that Iraq is hiding weapons of mass destruction — even if the UN still does not vote in favour of action. “If the inspectors report a smoking gun in Saddam’s hand and the UN second vote is passed the British, by three to one, think troops should be used alongside Americans.†The increasing tempo towards war was accompanied by a continuing build-up of military activity in the Gulf, despite Turkey’s reluctance to let American troops use its bases. And US President George Bush insisted it was America’s duty to help the UN protect the world from terror. He said in Washington: “The first law of the 21st century requires the United States to work with international bodies to deal with these threats and we will continue to do so.†But Mr Bush insisted the UN must support its own ultimatum ordering Saddam to scrap weapons of mass slaughter.
