Wow! Iraq feels the need to say "Please stop threatening us, or were going to keep the missles." So Iraq just made a threat to counter threats? Tisk Tisk. Delay tactics, Ive said it once, and I'll say it again. Delay tactics.
dont you think that's justified considerint they are destroyin the banned weapons? wats the point of destroyin em if the US is gonna invade anywayzz.. heckk, id keep em and use em if i was Saddam... its a lose-lose situation... can u explain how this is delay tactics?
i agree if i was sudam i would be sending those missiles into the carriers see what Bush says then about accounting for his weapons
I would do the same thing if I was Saddam. If you know you're gonna be invaded, then why destroy your weapons? I think the US'll regret it if they invade.
Asguard, Do you actually believe that Saddam has a chance in hell hitting one of our carriers with ANYTHING? Remember, we have improved our technology at a faster rate than the Iraq. They essentially have the same equipment as they did when we spanked them last time. If we do go to war, we are so technologically superior to anyone in the world, that this "war" will probably be just as one-sided as the last. Israel is a close second as far as tech. goes. This is because more than half of their hardware came from us! These dirty diaper-wearing extremists have already invaded one NATO country. We are the only thing standing in the way of them doing this again. They will probably all wear white "headgear" so they can quickly form makeshift surrender flags.
then why are the iraqis asked to dismantle em? i agree with what you're sayin, they probably wont be able to target anything with em.. wats the point of dismantlin em if they're useless... power? pride? excuse to bomb em?
Because they have a chance in hell of hitting a city. I will admit that they probably cant aim them to hit a hospital thats next to a church, and be able to hit the hospital. But take into consideration that if they just point and launch in that general direction, there goin to hit something.
which city? sure as hell they can't hit an american city... kuwait? wat good would that do? it would just invite another war...
Here's the deal Why make it easy for the USA to steal your country. Suddam should first get UN assurances that the Great Satan isn't going to attack before destroying anything. Should not Iraq have the right to defend itself? King Bush II has made it clear, even if Iraq disarmed, he'll still invade. Is it me, are has Sciforums become ProWarForums?:bugeye:
disarm em and go for the kill.. c'mon... its fair that you let em use the damm missiles... at least they tried.. :bugeye:
Iraq was stupid in the first place for ever agreeing to any UN resolution. I guess they feel they should be like Isreal and say "Phuck the UN!" Then do whatever it is they want.
Better yet, nuke and gas them first then go for the kill! Can't make it any easier than that for the US!
But I guess it's OKay for a Navy aircraft carrier to sit a few hundred miles off the coast and rain missle after missile on who knows what - soilder or civilian. I find it down right evil that when it's our innocent civilians killed we want blood but when over the last 13 years, when it's been thousands upon thousands of their innocent children killed we still want there blood! If a one sided war starts it will be unfair, evil, criminal and the USA should be condemned along with those who backed it and those who called for it. Once you start with the "let's blow those towel heads off the face of the planet" shit, you can no longer consider yourself "innocent". But then again, why try to reason with a country with such a violent past as this one? Its the nature of the beast as they say and the USA is a beast. From the Native Americans, to the hundred million of my African ancestors killed to make some fat ass white guy rich on our backs...Stop a war, drop a nuke on some people of color in Japan then again, drop 2! It seems the better part of "Right" to me that the guy with the big stick should humble himself before the masses. They all know you can kick ass whenever you feel like it, you don't have to play the bully. I'm sure all you little boys and girls heard that phrase, "The bigger they come, the harder they fall." And before you say, "They can't hurt us." let me say that every dog has it's day. You can't go on fucking with the world before the world decides it's gonna fuck you back. And that boys and girls is my rant for the day!
He had those assurances: (UN to Saddam Hussein): "If you declare all of your BANNED weapons before we send inspectors in, nothing will happen to you." (Saddam to UN) "Here is my weapons declaration. I have no more BANNED weapons, so you promised I'll be safe." (UN to Saddam) "Umm, what are these BANNED missiles doing here? Sorry, but you didn't include them in your weapons declaration. You're fu**ed. We can't protect you anymore." (Saddam to UN) "Wait! I'll destroy them!" (US to Saddam) "Too late buddy."
Mr. G-you can see the future? You really don't think that the terrorist attracks on your country will greatly increase after this war for oil?
Given Saddam's history, he is just as likely to use missiles on his own people! He has no desire for peace.
