Bush Jr.'s next move?

[Jorden]

Rags may be right, or feel so, but the past two years the only things shot at, were AIRCRAFT, not Baghdad

So, why all of a sudden shoot at Baghdad, when you know beforehand that Iraq claims Western airplanes shot on civilian targets? (and they may be right... who knows?)

Why not shoot down those aircraft entering the no-fly-zone? So I don't get it, and as Matt already said, I'm no genius, so explain it to me then

Baghdad wasn't bombed, sir.

They didn't shoot at Baghdad, sir.

Iraq is going to claim anything to make the UN efforts look bad. They even went so far as to put military installations in civilian locations, and shelter civilians in military targets. Who is bad here?

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Why not shoot down those aircraft entering the no-fly-zone?</font>

Part of the no fly zone is ensuring that there are no aircraft or military installations beyond a certain point. If they are launching aircraft and/or SAMs from a location, I would call doing what they did self defense. The UN has agreed that there needs to be a presence there, Saddam agreed to the presence, and when he is openly trying to shoot at the presence, there should be no surprise as to what happens to him.

Nope. No doubt.

I just said you were clueless on this. You have just enough information to be spreading false propoganda, and have a roommate now who is feeding into your "stupid Americans" idea because someone got elected president she doesn't like. If you are going to be bashing someone, start bringing facts to the table, not heart strings.

Oh, btw, so you know... I checked all the news sites I could find, and on all of them, GW says that this socalled Missile Shield will only be build against rogue countries, like Iran and Northern Korea. Also said in all the items is: "we will let our allies have the technology to build their own shield"...

With Russia saying they have the knowledge already to penetrate such a shield, shouldn't someone try to get a legit view on their data then?

Ah what... Never mind... I'm letting it rest here.

Your babbling has no point. What is your point? That we are wasting our money? So what do you care? It's our money.

Listen, Rags... I dunno what your issue is, but you might notice that I am not in this little discussion.

How simple-minded. As if I care who got elected. Do you think I sit around Holland worrying about U.S. politics (except insofar as they affect Europe)??? You must be kidding.

"America, love it or leave it", right?

Well, I left it. Gladly.

Get a clue your own self.

I am not the one who brought you into the discussion, Mrs. Clueless. Mr. Clueless did.

EDIT:

Does "I doubt America is crying-- I'm pretty sure that Mr. Bush Jr. doesn't like me much (his dad didn't)." Ring a bell?

Rags

Stupid Americans, indeed. If only all the stupid Americans did that

I have it on good authority (my contacts in the Zionist-AOL-Time-Warner-Trilateralist-Masonic Fifth Column) that this was Dick Cheney's and Tony Blair's idea. President Bush spent the day looking for his slippers.

They also told me Queen Elizabeth is really a man.

I heard that Tony Blair was a Pizza tosser,

I also have it on good authority that the Nat'l Security Adviser for the US hasn't been to the dentist in over two decades

John Ashcroft has three nipples! Justice Souter showers with his underwear on! The Blair Witch is really a good guy! (You name one thing she did in that movie that you didn't want to do.)

Oh, yeah, did you know that Tommy Lee Jones is really gay?

[KvHagedorn]

Saddam is such a big man.. such a genius.. disguise day care centers as missle silos and chemical weapons dumps. Why didn't I think of that? Pure genius!!!

BTW, that moustache should be banned under treaty. It's obviously some sort of tank trap.

Colin Powell's favorite basketball player was Larry Byrd! (When President Bush heard this, he commented, "I didn't know Sesame Street had a basketball team.")

Janet Reno shaves her back!

I heard that Martin Sheen's hidden talent is performing naked on Zebras at the local Big Top.
