Saddam: Captured - Page 2

*Anarky* · 12-14-2003, 12:11 PM

you could as well give saddam some credit. would almost be the same thing...

*ZariusTwo* · 12-14-2003, 12:14 PM

Saddam was the villian, America's supposed to be the good guys, find a way other than guns, I knew that would'nt hapopen, and I hated Saddam more than Bush.

I might support the war, but I sure as heck never liked that Bush resorted to butchery

*Anarky* · 12-14-2003, 12:17 PM

well Saddam had to go, but not under these circumstances.

Silver Turtle · 12-14-2003, 12:17 PM

Right now there talking about on tv how we went into Iraq for no apparant reason. Personally I agree with that.

*Anarky* · 12-14-2003, 12:23 PM

there were a gazillion reasons but they were all fake.

"Saddam's got bio-weapons" then the UN went in and looked for those weapons, and didn't find anything. Even when the US claimed that they had proof of a mobile Bio weapon-lab (of course, why not making it a spacecraft?)

then
"Saddam's got an A-Bomb" well the UN didn't look for an A-Bomb, they looked for Bio-Weapons. Somebody said those UN-Guys should check the US but everybody laughed at him/them.

then
"Free the Iraqi population" That would be nice, but everyone who believed that was IMO a complete idiot.

Face it, the guy isn't to bright. It may or may not be true that he waved to Stevie Wonder, but still, he's a few fries short of a King size.

Yeah, it's great that he got Saddam, but still, don't you think it's a bit convinient?

I'm not here to ostrisize the guy, but it seems odd...

*PizzaPower* · 12-14-2003, 12:37 PM

well in my ipion. I am very happy that is is capered. But I don't think the "Bad " Poeple are going to stop now that he is captured.

You know those gag books you find in the bookstore entitled "Sex After 50", or whatever, and they're full of nothing but blank pages? After reading what you just said right there, I thought of another one to put into that series: "A Complete List Of Things George W. Has Done For the U.S. That WEREN'T For the Sole Purpose of Boosting his Super-Bloated Ego and Also in the Interest of More Than Just Power-Hungry Conervatives Like Himself Who Think the Only Right Way is the American Way". Sheesh...

For the sake of every other mind-in-the-stone-age Bush worshipper on here, I'll stop the flaming, but only because I don't see how it will have an effect since every conservative I've ever known is a complete and utter bigot.

That is extremely insulting. You're only resorting to stereotypical bull. I am no Liberal, Conservative, Nor Democrat or Republican. The only thing I am doing is trying to get past all the ridiculous assumptions.

This thread is becoming rather pointless. We've gone from talking about the capture of an insane dictator, and now its only become a soapbox for people to accuse Bush of being the same as Saddam.

YOu go and tell that to the people who no longer have to fear being a statistic of Saddamn's genocides.

For the record, I'm glad Saddam is captured, but I am totally against the war in Iraq, and Bush in general. The way I see it, Bush was just trying to finish what his father started in Iraq.

*J Legault* · 12-14-2003, 12:54 PM

I heard, and I was right that one day Usama will be found and Saddam's legacy will come to an end. i'm glad that one of the most wanted men are found.

I picture this will be one of the biggiest events of 2003.

And picture myself talking about that day 30 years from now to the sibblings that would like to know the full story.

I have nothing against Bush, I was rooting for him back in 2000.

It's either him for president or Al gore. But someone has to run for office.

and again glad to see some brighter things.

Damn right, because those people can't see past their own ass-kissing of Bush to realise the real danger..

Okay, now youre just attacking ME now....

I kiss NO Ass, got it? I'm entitled to my opinion. If it isnt the same as yours, deal with it.

Hi read or dont read...just my useless two cents and any or all comments about my parentage, my education or lack thereof, or general snottiness will be ignored because I'm just that kind of person. That being said..ahem.

Has Bush's presidency been stellar? Well...no of course not. We're in the middle of a war on several fronts and teetering on war on several others.
The economy has been in recession for most of his term. And I'm sure any political science majors out there could say several other things that have sucked about the last three years...

HOWEVER...
I am not some lalala..let peace prevail...ignore the bad guys and they ignore you..no fighting at all costs pacifist. I'm a martial artist. That kind of attitude does not fit my MO. SO...was war justified? Well..if the atrocities of the Bathe part regime are true than yeh. I mean how many people NOW say the world was wrong for letting Hitler try his version of genocide? I personally dont care about Bush's motives. I seriously doubt they were as altruistic as he claims. But Saddam isnt there anymore. The regime is gone. Victory.

As for the economy...I'm enough of a business person to know that the last three years COULD have been the result of the previous four. Recession usually takes time to build. DOesnt happen...BAM all at once. And well...9/11 didnt help either. Anyone thinking that what happened would not seriously affect our enconoy is living in fantasy world. Either that...or they're looking for someone to blame. The president is an easy target.
Thats it..off to RP now..

*Cascadia* · 12-14-2003, 01:57 PM

it is about time that we captured him. I was awaken this morning with a phone call from my mom to tell me that.

**Karpo_007** · 12-14-2003, 02:02 PM

Even though the motivations for the war certainly weren't helping Iraqi people, US army did end Saddam's tyranny. It's a good thing they captured Saddam, as long as he is convicted in an International court unlike the Al Qaeda people in Guantanamo.

Despite of what people think on Bush, blaming the war on him isn't right. There are lot's of powerfull people who have wanted to do that for a while now, it was just a matter of time.

*Voltron* · 12-14-2003, 02:54 PM

You do realize, that normally there is more than one reason for starting wars, and that one man's selfish gain could also go hand in hand with the benefit of the country he's been appointed to run?

I'm no Bush supporter, but I don't think he's pure evil. He's more like a diet soda, I guess...99% good free.

One Radical Dude · 12-14-2003, 03:22 PM

WOO, PAR-TAY!!!!!!!

Believe me, if Gore were in office, this would never happen. I couldn't see the nine bozos (trying to oust Bush next year) do the same thing...they're all weak on military. Big thanks to the coalition.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 12-14-2003, 03:36 PM

Really a big story about nothing though. It's a nice short term grab, but may actually cause more problems in the long run. Esp. since him being alive will create many, many legal issues and our handling of it could bring even more problems with the world if we don't treat him well.

Doesn't really help the bigger issues, so I'm hoping we get over it and move on to the real issues. Must have been awesome for those Iraqis that found him though. Certainly a bit of a morale booster for the troops since this war hasn't been great for showing off our supposedly wonderful military. We finally, as a whole, showed that we are mildly competent at something...so it is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek pat on the back. LOL

Unfortunately it looks like Bush may have stole the next election also.
