I read somewhere Saddam is Islam. Of course no Islam would want a whole country to blow up and die. =\

Also remember that most of that crying has been at the hands of Saddam's regime murdering their fathers and raping their mothers and from starvation because Saddam sold food and medicine shipped to them back to the outside world for profit so that he could rebuild his war machine.

It is my firm belief that the Iraqi people will benefit more from a few weeks of war, than from another 50 years of murderous oppression.

Come on! I'm pretty sure that all the food and medecine that the UN sent to iraq, was given to the population. Don't say stuff like that without good backup

They blow them up because if Saddam can't have the oil, no one else should, in his mind. The smoke wouldn't stop an aerial attack, all of our pilots are equipment certified, they don't need to be physically able to see anything to perform their missions, and most of our bombs are satellite guided, so it again doesn't matter if we can see it or not.

I don't know where you heard that, but it doesn't make much sense.

LOL!!!

You want backup? Here you go. I hope the Department of State is good enough for you. Download the PDF file and then tell me what you think.

Exactly. The 40 something tomahawk missiles were all satellite guidied I think. Unless smoke messes up advanced stuff like GPS, then it will still be good to go... lol.


And... Do you guys think that Saddam will use biological or chemical weapons (if he has any)? If he does, I can only see him using it as a last chance effort where Saddam knows he is gonna lose, so he just blows up stuff... lol. And Saddam hates Israel, right? So what if he launches biological or chemical warfare at them? Everybody knows that Israel has stated to use deadly force (nukes or military i guess) to whoever seriously messes with them. So, Saddam will get messed up either way, lol.

And if Saddam does use biological weapons against American and British troops, then it will definately be game over for Iraq. Because that would be proof that he does have them, so UN will finally authorize the war (even though it allready started), and countries such as Canada, France, Russia and Germany will hop aboard and fight. Not like the British and American troops will need help, but at least politically countries won't be biting eachothers heads off.

This is all just opinion, hell I don't even know if it is true or not, lol. So correct me if I am wrong about anything.

GPS=Global Positioning System?

If it does, they could make a non destructible missile with a seat, and you could get from A to B in a jiffy.

I might come to the US, you'll notice me as I'll be the tourist on a missile. Smart.

[Professor S]

yeah, the new tomohawk missiles are said to be able to navigate city streets with the GPS capabilities. Pretty fancy stuff.

At over 350 miles per hour?


:eek:

[Professor S]

Well it ain't making hair pin turns, but it can recognize mainstreet and lower itself in between buildings and make wide turns. Oh, and it will stop at redlights and go on green

[Xantar]

I wouldn't try riding one of those things to work, though. At that kind of speed, the G-forces would probably rip your intestines out through your stomach. Those missiles are designed to carry much tougher things than humans (i.e. explosives and electronics) after all.

Do I think he will? I'm hoping not, but it wouldn't surprise me. A quote from a journalist (New Yorker):

Still, I had trouble fathoming why an Administration that had shown
no particular concern for world opinion in the previous months would
go to such lengths to accommodate so many journalists. One military
officer at the Hilton privately suggested an answer: "We want you
here to document the gas and the other stuff Saddam has in his
arsenal. If he has it, or, God forbid, uses it, the world's not going
to believe the U.S. Army. But they'll believe you." This, the more I
thought about it, was not a very encouraging reason to be here. As
the day of the embed drew closer, I began to feel like a lab rat,
heading off for great chemical experiments.

France, Russia, and Germany still won't fight. Plans are made, they are not in them. It's too late. Don't be surprised if they try to help in humanitarian aid after the fighting, so they can then try to get new contracts with Iraq and try to get as much as they can from post-Saddam Iraq. France is already showing signs.

Politically it would be a good thing if Saddam slimed us, but I really don't give a rats ass about politics, I'd rather have France hate us than see anyone die from these weapons.

I think the word you're looking for is Muslim .

And if you ask me, he's not really a good Muslim at all after all the bad he has done, heck, he doesn't even meet the standards of a bad one, and really shouldn't be associated with Islam.

[Joeiss]

Yes, Saddam should not be called a Muslim.

[Crash]

the funny part is, i said to my friend, "wouldn't it be funny if saddam was killed with the first missile fired" and he may actually have been! a lot of people think that him appearing on tv was prerecorded stuff... i think it was too.
