More missiles and bombs (over 3,000 according to top military brass) will be launched on Iraq in a period of TWO DAYS than during the entire Gulf War (most of these missiles and bombs will land smack on the populated city of Baghdad). If there is any overdramatizing it is over the need and urgency of waging such a scorched-earth policy of this magnitude on a country that has already been brought to its knees by 12 years constant bombing and economic sanctions.

but if THEIR LEADER leaves..... then we wont have to do it.


I think there is a fair altametim (spelling) at hand...


yes and if sadam doesnt cooperate.. which he wont because hes a dumb ass.... people are going to die...

the press and the media knows this.. along w/ the entire population of america.... its not like its being ignored...... even in bush's speech last night he addressed this issue..... so its not like its being ignored

Hey, are you Tom Daschle? This sounds like something he might have said recently...

If senator Daschle said that, then that makes him a smart man :-)

What more diplomacy do you want? Do you really happen to believe that Saddam Hussein has any intentions to fully comply with a diplomatic solution? Has he ever shown any intention of doing so? Would Iraq ever really fully entertain complete disarmament?

Well, I'm of the philosophy that war should be a last resort, because of all the destruction and death it causes. In this case, he finally started complying to the requests that were made. He was destroying the missles we asked him to. He finally provided the documents we were wanting on his chemical weapons. Granted he didn't start cooperating until we threatened war, but nonetheless he was finally starting to comply. If we get what we want without firing a single shot I'm all for it, no matter how long it takes.

It just seems to me like we're rushing to war not caring that we may get the results we want without the killing of countless lives.

Try clicking on the link at the very beginning of this thread to get a better idea. The past few months I've heard very little in-depth reporting about the suffering the Iraqi people will face during and after the war, and I don't know why thousands of innocent civilians will get wasted depending on whether or not Saddam leaves. Saddam being a serious threat to us seems like a bunch Red Scare McCarthyism, a red herring from other far more important issues. As political analysts say, terrorism is now the new communism.
