I'm not going to divulge (at length) my really extreme opinions.
I will say, though, that I support our military and president.
And, France, though it wants to become a part of the reconstruction effort, I doubt will be even considered for it since it seemingly only wants to jump at the money gains of such an act.
Also, Tom Daschille is a hypocrite and a mega-jerk.
and, now, I'm just going to post a few articles.


from msnbc.com:

“ON MY ORDERS, coalition forces have begun striking targets of military importance,” Bush said from the Oval Office of the White House at 10:15 p.m. ET. “... These are opening stages of a long and concerted campaign.”
Peter Arnett, on assignment in Baghdad for “National Geographic Explorer,” reported for NBC News that anti-aircraft fire emanated from the southern outskirts of the capital about 5:30 a.m. (9:30 p.m. ET Wednesday), about 90 minutes after the deadline Bush set for Saddam to flee the country had expired.
NBC News’ Jim Miklaszewski reported that U.S. forces had launched a preliminary wave of attacks using B-1, B-2, B-52 bombers, as well as F117 “stealth” bombers flying from three aircraft carriers, against what senior U.S. military sources described as a “key air node” and a “national command center.” The forces were firing cruise missiles from both land and sea.
Sources told Miklaszewski that the raids in and around Baghdad had been intended as “extensive prepping of the battlefield” in the no-fly zone in the south of the country. But the attack was ramped up after U.S. intelligence spotted what was termed a “target of opportunity,” described as a “senior or very senior member of the Iraqi regime.” U.S. officials would not disclose the identity of the target or say whether the attack was successful.
Loud sirens and anti-aircraft fire persisted in Baghdad for almost two hours as police cars raced through the streets, Arnett reported


from foxnews.com:

"The opening stages of the disarmament of the Iraqi regime have begun," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said.

Bush planned to address the nation at 10:15 p.m. EST, little more than two hours after the deadline the president set for Saddam Hussein to flee his nation or face war.

Fleischer spoke as anti-aircraft fire and explosions were heard across Baghdad after air raid sirens went off at the capital at dawn.

(note: clipped to conserve space and relevance)


from cnn.com:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush announced Wednesday night he has ordered the coalition attack on Iraq to begin.

"American and coalition forces are in the early stages of miltary operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger," Bush said.

He said the first strikes were against "selected targets of military importance."

The attack in Iraq early Thursday morning, involving F177A Stealth fighters and multiple cruise missiles from U.S. warships, was a "decapitation attack" to take out Iraqi President Saddam Hussein even before the planned start of the war, Pentagon sources told CNN.

Whether the mission succeeded is not known. Administration officials told CNN the strike was ordered for fear the opportunity could be lost.

Air raid sirens were heard in Baghdad at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday (9:30 p.m. Wednesday ET) about 90 minutes after the U.S. deadline for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to step down or face a U.S.-led military attack.

In his four-minute announcement from the Oval Office, Bush said the military campaign, supported by 35 nations, would make efforts to spare Iraqi civilians. But he made it clear the U.S. military planned to use its full might in the war.

"This will not be a campaign of half measures, and we will accept no outcome except victory," he said.

The president's address came at 10:15 p.m., about two hours and 15 minutes after the expiration of a deadline he set for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and his sons to leave the country or face military action.

The United States and Britain have massed nearly 300,000 troops in the Persian Gulf region.

Earlier, Adm. Timothy Keating, commander of the U.S. 5th Fleet, said allied forces were prepared to carry out an "unprecedented" campaign: "If we go, the plans we have are unlike anything anyone has ever seen before."

In the hours leading up to the deadline, about a dozen U.S. and coalition warplanes dropped precision munitions on nearly a dozen Iraqi artillery pieces in the southern no-fly zone that could have been in range of American troops poised to invade southern Iraq, Pentagon officials told CNN.

There was also concern some of the artillery could be capable of using chemical weapons and U.S. planes had been conducting around-the-clock reconnaissance of the sites.

Warplanes also struck Iraqi cable repeater sites and command and control sites. In addition, at least one Al Ababil surface-to-surface missile launcher was struck.

Thumbs down it started

it's pretty funny

why do people call war to an unilateral attack?? that's plain killing

so, g.w. butcher is already trowing bombs towards inocent iraq people who had done NOTHING to deserve it (just like lots of people that died on 11/9/01), maybe for money?? why dwas everything planned like this??

first, two airplanes crash towards the twin towers, then afghanistan gets blamed, then the taliban government is exterminated, afghanistan fall into the hands of the capitalism they couldn't know before

but it goes beyond than that I think

the country which "losses" a war has to pay its economical loss, so, afghanistan is going to be pushed to the same ruin the already had, or maybe worse, and I know what ruin means because I live down here at Mexico, I know what is to have an foreigner debt or whatever it's called like

so, if they trow bombs towards iraq, if they kill everyone, if they "win the war in the name of democracy and world safety (?)" iraq has to pay the loss of the war, with petroleum maybe, the same petroleum the export to Europe

by the way, all countrys in europe now use the EURO and its rates are bigger than the american dollar, if the US keeps iraq's petroleum, who's going to be the richest country of the world again??

the united states are going to get out of their recession

maybe Spain and the UK will get some petroleum barrels for free?? iono, this is just what I think

I'm not against the war, because actually there's no war: it's not a war if one of the sides cannot defend, it's just plain massacre

you wouldn't be in anything like a fight if your hands were tied down, right??

how does butcher know there are massive destruction weapons there at iraq?? did his daddy sell them?? what happened?? who should I believe??

Re: it started

last post for me (hopefully)...oh, and pardon me Dekkai...I'm going to pick at your arguements a little. please do not be too offended:




why do people call war to an unilateral attack?? that's plain killing
-What grounds do you base this statement on? our target is Saddam, his sons, and possibly some top government officials that have kept Iraq's murderous regime in power. We're not lining innocent civillans up and knocking them down. Besides, the only person that has done any real (inhumane) killing/torture in Iraq is Hussein.

so, g.w. butcher
-I don't understand your rationale for name calling. It retards your arguement and makes me less inclined to consider what you are trying to say. I could say that Hussein is a "mass murdering F***head" but it wouldn't necessarily make me right.

is already trowing bombs towards inocent iraq people who had done NOTHING to deserve it
-I think Saddam earned it. He harbours terrorists, continues to manufacture illegal weapons, hold his own people hostage, and also use the threat of burning oil as a bargaining chip with other nations. The waste made by burning oil is toxic, besides the extinguishing of oil fires being very dangerous.

(just like lots of people that died on 11/9/01), maybe for money?? why dwas everything planned like this??
-Money may be a factor in our reasons for going to war, but the main thing is the volitale relationship between Hussein and world politics. His continuing defiance of the UN for over twelve years, and the ever continuing genocide of his people has compelled a coalition of over thirty-five countries to act.

first, two airplanes crash towards the twin towers, then afghanistan gets blamed, then the taliban government is exterminated, afghanistan fall into the hands of the capitalism they couldn't know before
-We blamed Osama Bin Laden who was also tied to the first trade tower bombing in the early nineties. Then we tied him to the Taliban who protected him. Then we went in and rectified the taliban, removing an oppressive regime that held daily executions in their football(soccer) stadium as well as hangings from street poles and the like. Capitalism is not a bad thing. It is a means for aquiring wealth independantly. Also, I'd like to point out that Afghanistan is one of the thirty-five plus members in the coalition against the regime of Iraq. I don't believe that they'd support us if they didn't like us.

the country which "losses" a war has to pay its economical loss, so, afghanistan is going to be pushed to the same ruin the already had, or maybe worse, and I know what ruin means because I live down here at Mexico, I know what is to have an foreigner debt or whatever it's called like
-We are still in Afghanistan helping it to rebuild. And, yes, it is only fair that some of the cost of rebuilding their own country comes out of their own pockets. They don't have to repay now. Once they are on good financial/economic footing, and have the means, they can do whatever.

so, if they trow bombs towards iraq, if they kill everyone, if they "win the war in the name of democracy and world safety (?)" iraq has to pay the loss of the war, with petroleum maybe, the same petroleum the export to Europe
-We're not going to "kill everyone." President Bush is admant about protecting civillian life. However, it is a fact of war that people will die. I think, though, that less people will die in this engagement now than would die if Saddam stays in power and has continued opportunities to commit atrocities against his own people. Yes, it is highly possible that Iraq will repay its war/rebuilding debt in petroleum, but that is also their own right. It is their most abundant and valueable natural resource. It is up to them to do with it what they please.

by the way, all countrys in europe now use the EURO and its rates are bigger than the american dollar, if the US keeps iraq's petroleum, who's going to be the richest country of the world again??
-I don't understand your question. And, yes, it's a common known fact that most countries in Europe now use the euro currency. Good for them.
The US has already made clear that it will not seize Iraq's oil. It would be a grevious foreign policy faux pas if the US were to turn on its word. However, if the Iraqi people sell their oil to us, that is a completely different matter all together.


the united states are going to get out of their recession
-fantastic

maybe Spain and the UK will get some petroleum barrels for free?? iono, this is just what I think
-If they do, that's the Iraqi people's perrogative.

I'm not against the war, because actually there's no war: it's not a war if one of the sides cannot defend, it's just plain massacre
-It is a war. The Iraqi government is hell bent on defending itself to the bitter end. The Iraqi people will not be massacred. The US is not that stupid, and is also actually interested in preserving the people. That has been our main objective for some time now.

you wouldn't be in anything like a fight if your hands were tied down, right??
-If it were a life or death situation, I'd fight. If it were a situation in which I may sustain harm, I would fight. If I were bound against my will, I would fight.

how does butcher know there are massive destruction weapons there at iraq?? did his daddy sell them?? what happened?? who should I believe??
-Bush knows that there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq due to US and foreign intelligence. There is documentation showing that they do exist. The Iraqi government has failed to produce any documentation of their destruction (al-samouds do not count. there is no telling how much he was destroying/planning to destroy in comparison to his cache. and there is no telling how many he was producing at the time of the public destruction)
His dad did not sell the weapons to Iraq. France, Germany, and Russia did. France sold Iraq jet parts, a means for acquiring nuclear power, and other miscellany illegal goods even after the passing of resolution 1441.

weapons that Iraq has/has yet to account for (small list):
mustard gas
vx nerve gas
various other chemical agents
al samoud missiles
cluster munitions (capable of spreading chemical/biological agents)
drones (capable of spreading chemical/biological agents)

Believe who you choose to. But, be sure that you are informed.

the al-queda/iraq link has never been substantiated. MI6, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies have expressed that the connection is near non-existent at best. This is only emphasized by Bin Laden's latest video release wherein he denounced Saddam. One must understand that the fully sacred Bin Laden would never tolerate working, dealing, or interacting with a secular authoritarian such as Saddam.
There is however, a very explicit link between the DPRK (North Korea) president and terror groups such as hamas. Call the french cowards all you like, the americans are being pretty p---y about the North Korea situation- in fact, the US is debating whether or not to withdraw troops from the dmz. Whoopdeedoo, let us revel in our double standard.

By the latest accounts, Bush has stopped further funds from being sent to Afghanistan.
On a more ironic note, the Afghanis have expressed the greatest appreciation for the people of Germany, rather than those of the US. Their gratitude is not misplaced however, the Germans have sent tremendous amounts of supplies and staff in order to provide humanitarian assistance in Afganistan's time of crisis.

Keep in mind that the US has turned on its word many times in the past. Besides, at this stage in foreign politics, even if the US were to commit such a "grievous error," it wouldn't matter. American international relations with the world, as a whole, has been shot to shit.

Actually, economists, while meeting at the World Economic Forum, have predicted that if the war extends over 30 days, the US economy would collapse. Subsequently, as a result of the crash of America's markets, the world's economy would meltdown. More info in the Bush Foreign Policy thread in the Enlightenment forum.

That would be placing a blind and dangerous faith in our government. America has a notoriously poor track record in regards to Humanitarian causes. The US has repeatedly fared terribly in the prevention and intervention of crisis situations (e.g. nigeria, cambodia), not to mention that it was nearly voted off the Human Rights council of the UN for a number of misdeeds.


Keep in mind (generally)
In international law, the one we claim to uphold, Pre-emptive defensive strikes do not exist without concrete and immediate evidence that a country is going to attack you.
US, UK, and Spanish advocacy has no legal basis.
Security Council Resolution 1441 does not authorise the use of force. Upon its adoption, France, Russia and China, three permanent members of the Security Council, issued a declaration indicating that the Resolution excludes such authority. (http://www.icj.org/news.php3?id_art...770&lang=en)

ditto. FYI from my friends who came from Iraq...government buildings are mostly sandwiched between residential areas...I don't believe that the bombs used are sophisticated enough to just blow apart that 1 building and not harm the rest attached to it...

oh...and something to think about...when people are called to arms in countries like Iraq, it's usually the men who are pulled away from their families...who are left to stay in their homes? The wives and children.

not to tangent off, but why is there such prioritization in keeping wives alive? if it's the reminents of chilvalry and tradition, it think it's stupid. Children i can understand wanting to protect, but wives...um, ok. The only reason i can think of htat would be rather logical would be that women tend to nurture the children.

It isn't a matter of giving special prioritization to keeping wives alive. It is still traditional for majority of the families in Iraq that the wives stayed home with the kids. I was just merely pointing out who would get the brunt of the damage.

um, yeah, but i was just bringing up the topic anyway regardless of whether you said it specifically. It's always "save the women and children," just wondering everyone's views on it.

now that we are at war, i just hope to god that this whole thing will be over quickly and victoriously. the protests going on in berkeley and stuff just aren't going to do any good. people are expressing their opinions, but it's not like congress is gonna pay attention. i'm scared tho. they thought WWI would be over soon too

and about the women and children thing - children shud be saved, but i think the women thing is kinda outdated.
