I have merged the two posts by you together, to save minutes of my valuable time :laugh:

I can see by your below posts, that you Eat, Breathe & Sleep War.......well, it seems that way!

But I bet you don't know as much about the Spice Girls :laugh::laugh:

Anyway, I shall reply to your posts anyhow

That is handy to know and I will admit, I wasn't aware of that.

Of course, it could be bypassed in some way? But I shall agree that it is unlikely

Then there is the question of bunkers, and therein lies the rub, bunkers need men and machines to build them - even naturally occuring caves for storage need preperation, US spy satellites pinpointed EVERY possible site where WMD could be - NO, they are not there, There were none after 1991 / 92.
If the information is real, then I shall go along with that

After Desert Storm [Gulf War One] Iraq complied with all UN Resolutions regarding its weapons systems, all its WMD were destroyed at that time, a fact verified by the United Nations and accepted by the then US administration
Right, okay?

Well, you seem to have it all covered?? At least, it appears that way, from someone who knows how to write it so quaintly

Iraq complied with all UN Weapons Inspectors searches prior to 2003. There was of course some complaints from the Iraqi's about "sovereignty" but every site that was to be inspected was inspected, up to a point, when the inspections prematurely ceased. And what was that point ?
There must have been some descrepancies somewhere

Quote:

Originally posted by spacebandit

It was when George Bush decided to press ahead BEFORE the UN had completed its inspections. Against the wishes of the UN and under strong condemnation from the UN wepns inspection team, which included some Americans, the United States forced the removal of the weapons inspectors before they had finished their job, and then used that as a pretext for war saying the weapons inspectors were unable to finish their inspections and so claimed Iraq breached the UN resolutions.
So, from what you say, George W. Bush went to war, because of the money which could be made from possessing those oil-fields..

I am very sure, there will be a very good contrary opinion to yours.

If there wasn't, George W. Bush would never had been re-elected. He would actually be in a lot of trouble, which he isn't by the way

Where are they - gone after the end of Gulf War One

The war was about oil, you say it is "a prize"

Calling it a prize is both shameful and disingenuos as OIL was the goal.

We now know that the war was started on lies.
How you put it into words, sounds very plausable, but like I said, the USA will be able to tell a much different story which tears your opinion to shreds.

The News tells us a much different story.

Also, they tend to talk about all the dead troops who have sacrificed their lives for a just cause.

But from what you say, it was all about "Oil"

I don't think the troops that are there or, are going in feel that the fight is JUST for Oil, so are they all fooled??

Come on Spacebandit, they must realise something?

Quote:

Originally posted by spacebandit

What was the first thing US troops did when entering Iraq ?

Assist civilians ?
Fix and protect the water supply [important as it is a desert country]
Get the electricity back on ?
get hospitals up and running ?

No

None of the above

Specially prepared squads of US Marines secured oilfields, pumping stations and oil embarcation facilities

Who gets to control, Iraq's oil. Under a bill sponsored by the United States Government - two US companies now control the supply and distribution and Iraqs oil.
But, if you read so much about these facts, you must also know that the USA had something contrary to say, but you doubt all of that and look to the way YOU choose to see it.

BLAME THE WEST......

As always:rolleyes:

Were they proven before George W. Bush was re-elected?

Originally posted by spacebandit

Iraq did not start the war - it is simple to discover the true cause of the start of it
The USA invaded and naturally, Iraqi's will defend themselves. But, it was the threat of attacking Israel and possibly The West, which created these circumstances...

A threat, is a threat....WMD's or NOT!!!!

Saddam Hussain was to blame, right?

Quote:

Originally posted by spacebandit

Iraq threatened to invade no-one. We were warned Iraq could strike at us, but we have since been informed by our "great leaders" that they were wrong. Them being wrong was no secret before the war started, in fact we now know the lied about it
It could be possible if the President wishes to admit it?

Has he?

NO, he stands by the opposite of what you say and have read

Quote:

Originally posted by spacebandit

You say that Iraq said they had WMD, and so its their fault. Of course they did, and here is why.

North Korea has a genocidal maniac as a leader, human rights abuses are horrific, it has nuclear weapons, and that is verified. Yet we do not invade - Why ?

We do not invade BECAUSE they have nuclear weapons.

Iraq had a genocidal maniac as a leader, supported and sponsored for many years by the United States, human rights abuses were, and still are horrific, it claimed it had WMD and was about to have a nuclear weapon. and yet we invaded - Why ?

We invaded because our governments knew there were no WMD and they thought they could win.

that is why Iraq claimed to have WMD - to try and fend off invasion.

Kim Il Jon in North Korea is arguably as bad as Saddam - we know that, but we don't invade, we don't invade because no US and UK administration would survive the slaughter of hnudreds of thousands of its troops massing to invade North Korea when Kim Il Jon nukes them, and then we nuke his people - he'll be safe miles underground in a bunker.
I am not too aware of the North Korea situation, so I shall not elaborate too much.

This is very interesting once again, as you seem well versed, but once again, you wish to criticise the West..

We have shown the world that bullies prosper, we have shown the world that evil thugs will be dispensed with, unless they have a nuclear weapon - then we will negotiate with them. bearing that in mind, it is no suprise Iran is desperate to get hold of a nuclear weapon, it guarantees border security from an oil grab.
That is over-the-top....

Bullies do exist, but the USA is a super-power and there will be problems at times, but War is necessary sometimes to acheive a certain goal.

In the USA's opinion, the War was necessary in this case and for the reasons we all saw on the News at that time.

What you have learnt and read is not enough..

I charge you to prove that

I am for law and order, and the united states breaches international law daily

You excuse it

I call for it to be brought to account and will proudly convey my convictions in this matter

You applaud the attacks on brown people because they were unfortnate enough to be born over an oil field, you are happy at the "prize" of the oil we will get - or rather americans get, do they pay £5 a gallon - do they hell

Whereas I expect my elected leaders, and the leaders of the "democracies" to obey the rule of international law, if they break them I expect them to face charges in the World Court in The Hague. Other leaders, dictators, murdering thugs etc should of course be subject to the rule of international law

It is really this simple :

I believe in law and justice and expect it to be brought fairly, without fear or favour on everyone who breaks the law, white, brown. black, yellow, red, christian, moslem, jew, hindu, someone who has appeared on a trifling tv show - EVERYONE

You beleive that might is always right, that white is always right and you cheerlead the bully, it IS who you are.

Now, do you wish me to keep handing you your hat ?

nodisharmony 18-07-2007 07:39 AM

I will make one thing clear, (as this post of your's Spacebandit is full of innuendo and very serious too)

There are two sides in a debate, (the defence) & (the prosecution)

You are giving your educated opinion on the debate at hand and from seeing your various posts, they certainly look very credible, but however, you must expect opposition & that is what you shall receive, however much you claim to know.

Past hostilities between the "opposition" are neither-here-nor-there.

The debates are the debates and ego or anything else is to be ignored, which the opposition must do!

I can only assume from your description of the (United States of America) "chickenhawks" that your mind is ALREADY made up about them! So anything which follows that in the way of debate or opinion of THAT Country must be clouded, in the way of JUDGEMENT!!!

Your opinions below, I shall comment on in my usual way.....

1. {I'd wager on this one}

the United States will stay quagmired in iraq until November 2008 - the troop numbers will probably be reduced by then, but in any case young americans will still be dying for the profit margins of a few US companies. The Bush administration will keep upping the ante and getting US soldiers killed and G-d alone knows how many Iraqi's. Then in November 2008 the United States will elect a democratic president. Within 3 months at most, but probably within one month the corporate controlled media will be blaming the democratic president for the whole thing with a sleight of hand that would make Goebbels proud - you see thats the way it works. Bush does not care one jot for the lives of americans or anyone else, he will happily make the situation as bad as possible just to leave it in the lap of the next president
You are very well versed "Spacebandit", and I shall take on board your opinions on what MAY happen & if it does, I shall applaud you on your speculation.

But for now, it is only an educated opinion.

Look at the companies who have made the most money from the war in iraq via US Government contracts - then look at the boards of directors - therein lies the real cause of the Iraqi War, money for an elite few connected to the Bush family, and of course the Bush family themselves, .
Corruption exists and money brings power, we all know that! and I certainly don't deny that fact either.

It is a possibility and perhaps more than that?

But we can only speculate, can't we?

Lets not forget the business ties between the Bush Family and the Bin laden family stretching back to 1972. Look them up, very interesting stuff.

or

2. [and this is the scary one]

The United States will invade, or other wise seriously attack Iran. The United States government will suspend the presidential election of 2008, a US president cannot serve for more than two terms so a state of emergency will have to be called. Under normal circumstances this would cause serious internal problems, with armed militia and civil unrest, as it will be seen for exactly what it is, a coup in sheeps clothing.
Very plausable and well written......

Regarding "Business ties, between Bin Laden", Well, perhaps they were good in the past & things changed for the worse?

Many people in business for years & years can suddenly turn into mortal enemies when something BAD happens to cause the problem

Originally posted by spacebandit

You may say I am indulging in wild speculation, indeed I may, however ......in 2006 George Bush, suspended the The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 - this act forbade the deployment of United States Army, Navy or Air Force personnel on US soil, [with the exception of the National Guard]. the change in the law was sneaked in, tacked onto the end of the Patriot Act 2. There was no reason to suspend a law that has stood unchanged for over nearly 130 years - unless the President and his administration suspect they may need the full might of their own military within their own borders - food for thought.
There is nothing wrong with "Speculation", but if the facts were as clear as YOU speculate, then they could be taken to court and prosecuted.

But, the FBI & CIA + other organizations can make this go away, very quickly.

A superpower get's that name for a very good reason..

Your many posts always seem to be pointing that way.

When I chose to point the arrow to the middle-east, simply because of the neverending Wars which are happening over there for years & years, you then turn the argument round and blame the West.

I can only say what I see....

If I see you blaming the East for something, I wouldn't make that statement, would I?

But you never seem to, it is like you are their protectors and not only them, but a defender of, "Well, you know!!!" Don't you?:wink:

The United States will break laws, because Corruption exists and George W. Bush is known as a Warmonger, but the majority re-elected him.

He must be good then!!??

You are looking through (hateful eyes) Which is pretty much 99.9% of your posts.

Negativity and having a go at something, that would make anyone think that you have an (axe to grind)

Today it is America.....(Who's next on your list??)

This is RUBBISH!!!!!! I am talking about middle-eastern countries and because they may have brown-skin's is nothing to do with this debate.

I am very aware of how many brown-skinned people reside and live in other Countries, in the West, am I picking on them? (NO!!)

I say that Saddam Hussain & his lot, didn't do enough to convince the USA that they had NO intentions of attacking Israel or maybe the West?

Remember, they won't tell us everything.

It will be on a need-to-know-basis only....

That is how they work...

Also, the Oil-Fields was brought up by yourself...

If America takes control, which they intend to. The Oil-Fields are there and the word (Prize) is how anyone would look at those Oil-Fields.

I don't know much about the price of Oil, I haven't looked as late...

But, if the USA win the war, then the Oil-Fields are there for the taking, (Free).

But the War is costing the USA a fortune..

But, if you are so interested in justice, then why don't you do something about it?

I guess it is like the attitude of New Yorkers.

They say, that if you dropped dead in the streets of New York, nobody would lift a finger to help?

So many people, much to busy and uncaring to do anything.

If you know there is a crime and you can report that crime and do something about it, then you should know the answer...

I think there is huge opposition to what you say and that is your problem. Something YOU chose NOT to point out.

I see gangs forming, much nearer than you think and many get away with stuff due to all kinds of secret deals going on everywhere.

Propaganda and mutterings + funny handshake deals and many times, expecially two in particular are happy to secretly be a part of that and then preach about law & order, when they can't get their own lives in order.

Think on regardless :whistle:

"A Triffling TV show", I guess you mean Big Brother, which is what this site is all about and many fans are here also, watching what you say is a "Triffling TV show"

It's actually called "Entertainment"..

Some people read books on War and Politics and some choose to live a happy life watching TV shows like "Big Brother", hardly Triffling, I might add:cloud:

You say "someone" from a show. (Let me guess their names) 1) Jade Goody, 2) Danielle Lloyd, 3) Jo O'Meara, 4) Jack Tweed, 5) Emily Parr

George Bush was not elected with a majority of the popular vote, in 2001 he was handed the election by the Supreme Court of the United States who breached their own electoral law to do so - or to be more precise re-interpretated electoral law to allow the result to stand, and most importantly to stop the count of tens of thousands of votes in two key marginals that would have handed Al Gore the election - disenfranchising thouands of voters, the majority of whom were black - no wonder you like the guy so much. Easily checkable, have a go.

For his re-election he was once again gifted the election by the corrupt vote count in Ohio and in some other key districts where electronic voting machines had been tampered with or suspiciously vanished for a while - this story is finally beginning to break -I suggest you look yo the corruption involved in voting irregularities in Ohio in 2004.. very interesting reading

Oooohhhhh scary, even your veiled threats are nonsensical - what you going to do ?- report me to Homeland Security, go on I dare you in fact I double dare you with cherries on top :laugh2:

Notice these accusations of the President you cheerlead and yet are completely ignorant of the detail of - again all these facts are verifiable for someone able to see beyond the xenophobic myopia

In 2000 The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) in its report on Rebuilding American Defenses stated, "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor . . ." This would not be significant under normal day to day circumstances, however the Vice President Dick Cheney, among other key members of the Bush Administration, were founding members of PNAC.

the same report also stated

"while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."

Hence the real reason for the Iraq War was regime change. A war for that reason is illegal under International Law - look it up.

the we have the Downing Street memo's, which state that that Bush was attempting to make the facts "fit" the policy in order to justify invading Iraq -- since Hussein's WMD capability was in fact "less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran." Iraq was invaded despite the well known FACT that the vast majority of Al Quaeda was based in Afghanistan and Pakistan, even though the September 11 attacks were always referenced in regards to the invasion of Iraq, and the Bush administration intimated that Iraq was somehow involved in 9/11, no-one outside of the far right american cliques believed it, and even though the Bush Administration has now admitted that the claims were false, they still allow the fiction to stand whenever some tame right wing reporter decides to spout it.

What else has Bush done, the american president you cheerlead :

Cancelled habeas corpus,

Disregarded the Geneva Conventions in the torture of prisoners of war

Using signing statements to override congressional lawmaking authority,

Eavesdropping on Americans without court warrants

Refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas

Sacking federal prosecutors for political reasons

Outing a covert CIA agent as punishment for her husbands refusal to stay silent about a report they commissioned him to produce which did not fit their fiction for war

Threatening to jail journalists for disclosing leaked government documents

Eliminating legal protections for government whistle blowers

Arresting peaceful protestors

Manipulating the terror alert system to instill fear in Americans

Stacking the Supreme Court of the United States of America with appointees of the right political persuasion.

Detaining suspects indefinitely without trial, without legal councel, without the right to a jury trial, without the right to see the evidence against them.

Most worryingly for Americans - doing away with the Posse Comatatus Act

Here are the accepted points that define a country as fascist

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
4. Supremacy of the Military
5. Controlled Mass Media
6. Obsession with National Security
7. Religion and Government are Intertwined
8. Corporate Power is Protected
9. Labour Power is Suppressed
10. Obsession with Crime and Punishment
11. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
11. Fraudulent Elections (or Non-Existant ones)

the United States currently meets all the criteria

The Nazi's were desperate to get control of Russias Caspian Sea oil fields to fuel their increasing war machine, capturing the Caucauses was vital the war was costing them a fortune - the oil fields were there for the taking.

So, if you add up all the votes for George W. Bush, it will be absolutley massive.

This would not be significant under normal day to day circumstances, however the Vice President Dick Cheney, among other key members of the Bush Administration, were founding members of PNAC.

the same report also stated

"while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."

Hence the real reason for the Iraq War was regime change. A war for that reason is illegal under International Law - look it up.

then we have the Downing Street memo's, which state that that Bush was attempting to make the facts "fit" the policy in order to justify invading Iraq -- since Hussein's WMD capability was in fact "less than that of Libya, North Korea or Iran." Iraq was invaded despite the well known FACT that the vast majority of Al Quaeda was based in Afghanistan and Pakistan, even though the September 11 attacks were always referenced in regards to the invasion of Iraq, and the Bush administration intimated that Iraq was somehow involved in 9/11, no-one outside of the far right american cliques believed it, and even though the Bush Administration has now admitted that the claims were false, they still allow the fiction to stand whenever some tame right wing reporter decides to spout it.
Okay, Okay, you are well read!! But the big story reads well and there will be critics who will try to undermine and discredit this great President.

He does a lot more than talk War, ya'know:wink:

Living in the UK, means we miss his lighter side.

He is no Bill Clinton, that's for sure. Bill was a greater President, who hardly put a foot wrong, when it came to War.

The great story you give us all to read is interesting, but non-essential really, as it is what he does during his time as President, which is most important to this debate actually:nono:

But, perhaps the tarnished picture you paint of the man, is a further attempt to win your case against him.

It is an observation, which is worth me pointing out.

He will have a lighter side and if you are residing in the USA and watch the News a lot, he will do a LOT of GOOD for the country, or he wouldn't get the votes, would he?

I do like Bill Clinton much better. But, if Bill had to make these important decisions about Iraq, he would do the right thing and INVADE, if the West or Israel felt threatened by a Mad-Man...

I believe that Mad-Man's name was Saddam Hussain.

I am sure that you have read all about what he did to his own people. That disgusts many...

No I did NOT!!

He's a busy man, and things happen very quickly, too quickly for you to realise, that things can happen in a way which may not interest the Big Man too much, when he has a War to deal with, and don't forget the many dead troops, who are fighting for the great "U. S of A"

Iraq and many of the people with a gun in their hand and War on their minds, also need sorting.

Saddam Hussain is dead!! Maybe, the Iraqi's should learn what the "White Flag" of (surrender) means?

The USA has no interest in making Iraqi's lives hell. The War crimes which happen, will be looked into.

If you think that Troops who torture Iraqi's for fun are condoned by the Presidency, you'd be wrong!!

They will end up in Jail.. Don't worry about that!!

War Crimes are serious. Just like breaking the Geneva Convention, even though you make observations about that.

Perhaps, Iraqi's should realise, that George W. Bush will assure that Iraq and it's people who accept "Peace", will have a better future.

You also know, that if your findings were that clear, the President would be charged. But your findings cannot be that conclusive.

Instead I thought I would allow american television itself to manifest for you the true feelings of the majority of americans.

I go to the staes 4 times a year, for work purposes, I have friends there and meet with real people, all you do is regurgitate fascistic soundbytes from FOX news, and excuse criminalty and belittle the Bush administrations deliberate disenfranchisement of black people for party political purposes.

The only people who talk about him in the terms you do are the christian fundamentalist bible bashers and people outside of the US - clueless foreigners who can't be bothered to find out the truth.

But the one point of your I will pick up is this.....

That is so deluded and blind it ranks as the most pig ignorant thing you have ever written.

The Bush administration condones and accepts torture, it changed the law to allow it - it no longer adheres to the Geneva Convention regarding torture - thats a fact easily checkable.

You ask why don't the iraqis surrender ??

Well, if this country was invaded, I would - as the saying goes - take to the hills.

Then wage, along with other like minded souls - and there would be plenty, a campaign of harrassment, sabotage and yes, killings - because that is what happens when your country is invaded. that is called a resistance movement - strange that we praise the Dutch and the French, and others - yet your kind is suprised when a bunch of arabs do what we did in the west when we were invaded -

Oh thats right, how dare those brown people refuse to submit - its jolly indecent of them not to know when they are beaten.

I would stop fighting when the invaders were repelled or I was dead, and to go back and compare them, in you I see collaboration -

Quote:

When George W. Bush was surprisingly re-elected president in November 2004, I predicted that in a couple of years -- just like after the re-election of Richard Nixon -- you'd have problems finding people who would admit having voted for him.

It's unfortunate, but that is in fact the case in 2007 as even longtime Republicans are counting the days left until this administration is history.

Indeed, there are many Republicans joining the growing chorus that wants to impeach Bush and Dick Cheney and get rid of these two guys now before they do even more damage to this great country of ours.

Frankly, it's remarkable how total the damage has been. The lies to get us into a war with Iraq and then the incompetence in handling it were bad enough. But the war is just a piece of the utter devastation that this administration has caused in everything from the administration of justice to the stewardship of our national parks, from the reputation of the Food and Drug Administration to the nation's ability to respond to emergencies.

If shortsighted ideology didn't get in the way of working for the common good, incompetent cronies did.

Instead of putting experienced foreign affairs people in jobs to handle the Iraqi transition from Saddam Hussein to some form of democracy, the administration filled those jobs with inexperienced, mostly young people, whose only qualification was that they were doctrinaire Republicans. It was the same sort of nonsense that prevailed at Homeland Security, where the completely unqualifed Michael "you're doing a heckuva job" Brown turned FEMA into a national laughingstock.

Now comes the news that even the surgeon general's office -- a federal agency whose sole purpose is to promote the public's health -- was manipulated by the Bush team.

Former Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona testified before a congressional committee recently that the administration repeatedly tried to weaken or suppress important public health reports because of political considerations.

According to a New York Times story, Dr. Carmona told the committee that he wasn't allowed to speak or issue reports about stem cells, emergency contraception, sex education or prison, mental health and global health issues. Whenever he gave a speech, he was instructed to make sure Bush's name was mentioned at least three times on every page.

Plus, he was discouraged from attending the Special Olympics because of the charitable organization's long ties to a "prominent family." He wouldn't give the name on the record, but he was obviously referring to the Kennedys, who have long been associated with the Olympic events for the disabled.

Bill Clinton may have had some personal defects, all of which led to his being impeached by a partisan House of Representatives. Like Alex Rodriguez of baseball fame, he may cheat on his wife, but he hit home runs when they mattered.

The Bush crowd is straight out of the gang that couldn't shoot straight.

If lying about sex gets you impeached, what do we do with an administration whose lies have led to a world calamity and whose ideology trumps even common sense? The answer couldn't be more clear.

You are getting things all wrong again. Perhaps a bit of clarification to what I have said on this matter.

When you live in the USA and watch their many News channels. There is always plenty of talk about the President and many things that he does, aside the War in Iraq.

This is something which the President has sadly had to deal with and Tony Blair is right by his side.

But anyway, like I was saying. George W. Bush has many other things on his mind. Trying to run his own country and dealing with, Crime, Education, Health, etc, etc, etc.... The list is virtually endless.

He will be involved in helping a lot of good Americans and this will be & is noticed.

How do you think he managed a 2nd term in office Spacebandit?

You keep going on about one State in America, "Ohio", you keep going on about vote-fixing. But it still doesn't wash and the President, George W. Bush is reigning again on his 2nd term in office.

He must have got many, many votes from happy American's who believe in him and have seen good evidence, that he was very just in invading Iraq & that the continuation of the War is essential.

The troops that choose to goto Iraq, must also believe in the cause and fight for the USA and fight to gain peace for the West. Infact, all over the world, from that threat of terror.

All your other typical-spacebandit comments about me, I shall ignore in this reply:rolleyes:

It is very nice of you to include a lovely Youtube video link, which runs right up your street. Totally making those who wish to watch it, believe it. Also including your great knowledge on the matter at hand.

Those who really know how to put things into words and also, plant the right/wrong type of message across in a certain way, can really do damage and nobody would dare underestimate that, which I can certainly see before my eyes.

It's nice to hear that you go to the USA 4 times a year Spacebandit:rolleyes: It is also nice to hear that you have friends there to. Don't forget to mention your friend over here, "nodisharmony", oh, I forgot.....(We are NOT friends):laugh::laugh:

It is also nice to hear, that you have met with "real people". I guess that means "people who think like yourself", right?

That is the food for egomania.

None of those comments make any sense, as-per-usual:rolleyes:

You are outside the US, am I right or am I right?:rolleyes:

Don't be so sure of yourself on the opinions of others. I wouldn't be so quick to assume, that it is people outside the USA who think that way either.

You have said similar things before Spacebandit and I am sure you'll find something again.

But I carry on regardless to point out the errors which you continually make, just like you try to, but "relentless" is a powerful word and you know it's meaning in both places:wink:

but we shall proceed below:wink:

The Bush administration condones and accepts torture, it changed the law to allow it - it no longer adheres to the Geneva Convention regarding torture - thats a fact easily checkable.
I was talking about War-Crimes. I am talking about USA troops who have un-necassarily tortured an Iraqi for their own pleasure.

I have seen this on Sky News and those American troops who have been caught doing this WILL face prosecution in the USA & be held accountable.

If the troops capture someone who has a gun in his hand or is very much a known criminal and has information which may be necassary for the USA to acheive their goal, then what you say could be true. But only in that instance.

There is a balance to all of this and you are amplifying it, which creates bad propaganda for the USA, which is what you seem to do well.

The Geneva Convention was made a long time ago now & the problem with old-rules & regulations that were made then, is that times change and what is more important to stop?

1) A threat of possible WMD's coming our way?

2) Allowing a Mad-Man Saddam Hussain rule Iraq?

3) A threat to peace & harmony in general?

If one or more of the rules of the Geneva Convention have been broken by the USA, then it is unfortunate, but essential under the circumstances, which were caused by the original threat which was made.

You ask why don't the iraqis surrender ??

Well, if this country was invaded, I would - as the saying goes - take to the hills.

Then wage, along with other like minded souls - and there would be plenty, a campaign of harrassment, sabotage and yes, killings - because that is what happens when your country is invaded. that is called a resistance movement
This is a delicate situation, which is very hard to get-to-grips-with and War is War and when Iraqi's run out into the street with a gun and shoot to kill, to protect their Country, it is what they have chose to do

But, let us look at Germany & Hitler and the way things were for them.

If Hitler had succeeded, he would have killed all the Jewish people straight away or tortured them.

He was a Mad-Man, like Saddam Hussain and you should be more than versed on what he was like.

We don't need another Hitler thanks..

What we have before us, is a man:- (George W.Bush) who is nothing like Hitler or Saddam, we have a man who will be happy to take care of the inhabitants of Iraq, who choose to trust George W. Bush and understand that all he wants is peace.

Nobody needs to get hurt, if they understand his goal.

Nobody is going to be treated like Hitler or Saddam wishes to treat people.

He is not a Mad-Man, like you seem to paint the man.

The American way is much different and if they started to treat people in Iraq, "Once they've won the War", like Hitler or Saddam, then it would get back to the voters in the USA and Gordon Brown certainly doesn't wish to be part of being like that either.

It is better to comply, than die...

Remember Saddam's statue being toppled in Iraq?

George W. Bush is going to offer those who wish to comply, a much better life.

The money that George W. Bush makes from those Oil-Fields can go a long way, to helping pay for the War and helping the Iraqi people.

Also, thousands of American troops will have to stay there to insure that safety is kept.

Like you say, there will always be a resistance hiding away.

It is a long drawn out War and George W. Bush & Gordon Brown have to be relentless, as Vietnam must NOT happen again.

No time for futility

The "Your Kind", don't wash & you should know that:rolleyes:

Oh thats right, how dare those brown people refuse to submit - its jolly indecent of them not to know when they are beaten.
If a majority "White" country made a threat against the USA, they would act accordingly.

But once again Spacebandit, it always seems to be in the middle-eastern Countries were War is going on and much of that is without the intervention from George W. Bush or even his predesessors

There is the USA with it's might & power.

How many nuclear weapons do they have?

You want to run to the hills, yes?

(Kiss goodbye to your life, then...:xyxwave:) George W. Bush is NO Hitler or NO Saddam.

He is NOT interested in making innocent Iraqi's or anyone else in the middle-east lives hell.

It is a form of cleansing.

Take "Libya", for instance.. They are cooperating fine:bigsmile:

My comments say quite a bit.

You can learn a lot, when you understand the American way and the just for peace.

If the Countries in the middle-east begin to understand that George W. Bush and his Country are only trying to acheive World-peace and goodwill to all mankind, they could learn a thing or two.

You see it as a money-venture and Oil-fields.

You've been reading MUCH too MUCH negativity...

If you lived in America, you'd be considered a traitor.

The UK is running side-by-side with George W. Bush on this.

We didn't help with Vietnam, did we?

the USA didn't help us with the Falklands, did they?

But against Iraq, we are all behind, or are we:puzzled:

But anyway, like I was saying. George W. Bush has many other things on his mind. Trying to run his own country and dealing with, Crime, Education, Health, etc, etc, etc.... The list is virtually endless.

He will be involved in helping a lot of good Americans and this will be & is noticed.

How do you think he managed a 2nd term in office Spacebandit?

You keep going on about one State in America, "Ohio", you keep going on about vote-fixing. But it still doesn't wash and the President, George W. Bush is reigning again on his 2nd term in office.

He must have got many, many votes from happy American's who believe in him and have seen good evidence, that he was very just in invading Iraq & that the continuation of the War is essential.

The troops that choose to goto Iraq, must also believe in the cause and fight for the USA and fight to gain peace for the West. Infact, all over the world, from that threat of terror.

All your other typical-spacebandit comments about me, I shall ignore in this reply:rolleyes:

Already covered - you just ignore the checkable facts and barrel away seemingly with a kind of myopic autism, and yet still make no sense as you have no idea what you are talking about - very parrot-esque

More ignorant buffoonery, Britain advised the United States in 1961 not to get involved militarily in Vietnam, in 1962 the UK foreign secretary warned that the United States faced getting bogged down in South East Asia in exactly the same way the French had done previously - the wrning was repeated on the floor of the UN in November 1963

Unless you discount count access to bases, satellite intel, hardware and refuelling systems, high altitude recconaissance spy plane missions - then no the United States did not help in 1982, you just make stuff up don't you


and considered a traitor ?, for speaking my beliefs in a democratic country - so with that statement you accept the United States is not a free country

Or do you regard labelling people for speaking their minds as traitors acceptable in a democratic country ? - and that in a nutshell is the difference between you and me.


I believe in democracy
You believe in subjugation and oppression.
Especially of it involves brown people born on top of oil fields, and ignore all the other madmen who can defend themselves.

The fascist bullet points - duly noted.

You keep mentioning Ohio. Get that off your brain & look to the rest of the States of the USA, you get a much clearer picture of the massive amount of votes to the big man. The one at the very top:wink:

Okay, I shall also say "Kim" as well...(Just for you:wink:)

What treatment get's handed out, will be decided when the time is right. "Kim" might be cooperating more than you think.

I am not going to go down the path you wish to follow, which always heads to the West.

Open a debate on the French or Dutch resistance fighters, and I may oblige.

Libya is more cooperative and won't end up like Iraq, who had a Mad-Man in control.

This is where problems happen, when people refuse to talk peace or are made out as liars. You know the type:wink:

Some important people in the USA are very clever & can catch out people like Sadam quite easily.

He's not the only one either..

Very astute Spacebandit:thumbs:

But, I was on about "Joining in the fight". Troops from the USA jumping into action to help the lovely United Kingdom get back the Falklands.

The same thing applied to Vietnam.

Regardless of agreements etc... Which you have pointed out, which is handy information, thankyou:thumbs:

You can say anything you like Spacebandit, even be racist:laugh::laugh:

But, many would consider your comments and views rather bad, but some will agree. But also, it could be deemed much less, which I was kind to point out:thumbs:

More silly babyish comments, with more than a childish tone to them in a cryptic attacking form.

Keep going on about not getting your own way and pointing that big arrow in my direction and keep adding "Brown, Black, Red, Yellow people", I've heard it before & I'll hear it again, YES???

You brought the "Oil" thing up and I gave you my educated opinion.
