Drawing conclusions from a single source that probably isn't even reliable or have any knowledge in the "real" parts of iraq... i would say is biased... anyone who draws conclusions and refuses to keep an open mind because of a single or few small sources is biased. Can we all agree now, your biased
Dude that's why politics is so touchy a topic, we are all biased to our particular points. It's a moot point.
Which mental midget on this thread was calling himself "objective" yesterday? I'm biased! Hell yes I'm biased! It's a war between good and evil and I've chosen sides. Anyone who hasn't is a nutcase.
Like when someone says the reason we have no new refineries since the 70s is because GWB wanted to keep all the oil profits for his gang and himself?
Arent you too busy telling the govt how to make the whole world western ? Sorry, what I meant to say was I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I,I
Ok so then you're going on the end of what Bush stated and not the UN resolution? Just trying to figure it out.
Nope. If I were biased I would support Bush 100%. I do not. I hate many of his policies and if Kerry wasnt such a assbag I may have voted differently. Maybe when it comes to Iraq I am a bit biased, but not biased in politics as a whole.
These were UN resolutions. Not sure about the last one though, considering how so many of our so-called allies were bought out by saddam, how many of them were caught up in the OFFP and how corrupt the UN was. These were the conditions layed out.
The U.N. made itself irrelevant when it decided to try to find a "middle ground" between good and evil. There ain't nothin' in the middle of the road except a yellow stripe and dead armadillos. Are you a dead armadillo? If not, better check yourself for that stripe...
I quoted 3 sources. And I didnt say the only reason was Bush. I think it has a lot to do with oil tycoons (connected to the bush family) and the resulting government laws. Will used "environmentalists" as a scape goat... but they really have no power. And if that's "biased" or untrue.. show me some sources and facts that say otherwise, I dont claim to know everything about it, and my mind is open if the facts say otherwise...
Yet repubs use the UN resolution for reason for war non stop, well if the UN is irrelevant I trust that YOU never use it for a reason for war against Iraq? I understand that but the reason we were sold on, WMD and destruction of them Iraq was allowing us full access to inspect to our hearts content. Many of our allies and I believe even us break UN resolutions so other trivial ones 'not that all listed are trivial' doesn't make it right as the main one WMD's and inspections of the programs were being allowed in full right up to the war. If they were caving as bad as they were and allowing us basically free range of their country to inspect wouldn't it of been prudent to see how much further we could have forced them to comply with the pressure we were giving at that time w/o pulling the inspectors out and going to war? Bush was given the authority for war on the basis he would exhaust all measures which I don't see how anyone could argue that he did. I realise many will say 'but Saddam was given so many years to comply' but w/o the teeth the president was given, once the president was given the teeth he started to cave on many things including destroying missles that 'could' with no warhead and the wind on it's back go over the UN mandated maximum range. Wouldn't it of been better to give it a few more months to see how much he would comply, afterall Saddam was already caving on many demands, why not demand more and save lives both on our side and Iraqs?
Care to explain or is this just more gas escaping? Iraq complying with inspections and Nazi's in power of Germany, wow now that's a jump.
hrbl, I'll have to do some research to put together a response. It's not often someone comes along that presents a challenge and since I enjoy a good debate and you seem very cordial in your participation, I'd like to take some time to do some research and make sure I have a better understanding before making a response. In the mean time, you did offer yesterday to put some material together to debunk the al qaida / iraq connection. Have you made any progress towards that?
I actually did edit my post and added a few links, if I have time later though I'd be glad to redo it in a new post with new links
Jesus, do you need everything explained to you? Buy a history book. Liberals... always expecting other people to do their work for them. Some peoples kids. OK, I feel sorry for you because you're obviously in need of help. So, here's a hint. The U.N. resolutions are to Hussein as the Treaty of Versailles was to Hitler.
