The site is owned by a veteran of the US armed forces. SO yes, it's Murrka-W's favorite mispronunciation. You never really responded, you just got on the "Moral High Ground (tm)" argument and never really responded.

How's this? If we are going to war, how about going after the country that gave us 15 of the 19 hijackers? http://www.msnbc.com/news/838867.asp

And, I'm sure you think the oil companies give it to the military with no charge out of the goodness of their hearts. In war there is always money to be made, and since the advent of the mechanized army most of that money is going to come from the things that make that army run. Gasoline...

It's pretty simple logic. Saddam is a secular dictator. He was left in power after Gulf War I because he made a nice buffer against the radicalism of Iran. Osama bin Ladin is the redical's radical in terms of Islam. In his mind you're either with him, or your with the infidels. (Swithch...

How 'bout them new Homeland Security uniforms-your choice of colors. Brown or Black http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/.Pictures/troopers.jpg

I think that would be a very good argument for the US decomissioning it's WMD's. And, Briton, and France, and Russia, and Israel, and India, and Pakistan... The US is not the world's police force.

I thought one of the reasons for the US attacking Iraq was that the UN has been ineffective?

Concur. And speaking of civilian casualties, in thier second forray into the break away republic, Russia realized that street to street fighting in the capital of Grozny would be a very costly proposition. So they rolled up a bunch of artillary and levelled the place. This from the country...

Yeah, I meant Rainbow Six.

Dunno, admin? Oh, and read the book-if you thight the Anthrax scare was fearky...

With the Moscow bit, I was just thinking-surely they could have come up with something other than pumping a strange gas into a crowded theater. On that last point I really hope that was sarcasm. Because, that seems like a great way to make more poeple angry enough to become terrorists.

Not to mention that the Russian response was a bit of a screw up. Where's Rainbow when you need 'em?

BLAME CANADA!!!!!!!

How do Chechan rebels not link to the Taliban? Lets see, they both are Muslim, they both were bombed into the stone age by technologically advanced military, and they both stubbornly refuse to die. Oh, and having thier homes destroyed has not made them cower in the corner. Also, the...

The thing you refer to is an executive order put in place by President Ford. As an executive order, the chief executive can draft himself a new one to countermand it. "or, in light of the Moscow terrorist act, Russia's Spetznaz." Funny, I thought those were Chechan seperatists, not Iraqis.

Shrubs links to the British Empire: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/london001025.html As for finishing what we started in '91- we should have done it in '91. When there was actually an opposition movement to Saddam Hussein that was bold enough to act openly. Unfortunatly...

Kenneth Lay, CEO of Enron. AS for the oil one-The US economy is entirely dependent on said natural resource. Is it therefore unreasonable to assume that US companies and the government would want to get as much of it as possible? Then again there are Dick Cheney's connections with...

Which conspiracies are you refering to? I would also point out that just because there is no irrefutable proof of a conspiracy, does not mean it does not exist. Hey, two years ago, if I told you Keneth Lay and his cronies were engaged in a plot to defraud utility customers in California...

Socialism, and it's little bro communism have not existed in a pure form ever since mankind settled down and started building cities. The Soviet Union was not real communism, it was corrupted by greed and by guys like Stalin and Beria. Cuba's probably the closest we've got, but then again...

Quick note on casualties suffered by the US Navy: USS Cole-hit by terrorist boat while on a port call, 17 dead. No retaliatory action taken. ("Liberal" president later accused of, "being soft on Terror [which is now capitalized for some odd reason].") USS Stark-hit but Iraqi air to surface...
