caesar Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Posted November 21, 2004 Iraqi troops use people as shields. Geesh. Can a doctor cut out a cancer without making an incision or operating? Duh. More hog wash. And what troops. A bunch of scared unarmed untrained young men. That was more a USA excuse than reality and certainly did not hold up as a viable excuse. Quote

The troops that comrised the Iraqi military prior to the invasion. Surely you are not going to deny that Iraq had a repressive regime in place working for Saddam are you? So to you, had Iraq's military been of a first world order, that would make the ivasion more justifiablle? The conditions for conflict to the Left are beyond me. Saddam was in the "bush leagues" compared to Bush. Who are in those mass graves? Who put them there? Quote We're Paratroopers Lieutenant. We're supposed to be surrounded - CPT Richard Winters
Tawasakm Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 Saddam was in the "bush leagues" compared to Bush. Bush has made, to my view, a mess of his foreign policy and of his reaction to 9/11. He should have focused on Bin Laden until he had him. Iraq, assuming invasion was necessary, could have waited. Things aren't so bright domestically either. Not a great president. But how you can make that comparison between Bush and Suddam is beyond me... Suddam is NOT in the bush leagues. He was a ruthless and sadistic dictator who caused a great deal of suffering and loss. Regardless of how you see Bush's actions it is a mistake to make light of Suddam's. Bush will not be in power in another four years. He is not a dictator. He will not torture his own citizens to maintain his grip on power. Lets keep this realistic. Quote
Tawasakm Posted November 21, 2004 Report Posted November 21, 2004 Looking back at the topic I think some of us (including myself) are getting off-topic. Perhaps we should start a new thread. Quote

Duh Yes, how dare those nasty insurgents fight the occupiers from their own towns and cities. Those bounders should come out in the open and fight like gentlemen, wot? I mean, this guerrilla war business is hardly cricket eh, old bean? Quote
