I guess a lot of you saw the presidents adress tonite.. if some of you havent he basically stated the situation we were in and he gave Sadam an ultimatum. him AND his sons leave Iraq within 48 hrs or there will be military conflict!
GOD BLESS THE USA!
i wonder if Sadam has ever been on jeepforum. ?? its a possibility. no.. he probably drives a croutch rocket. or a lowered Z-71 with tinted windows.
Yea, i loved it.... Saddam and his sons have 48 hours to ge the hell out of dodge or we're coming in.... gee, i wonder what will happen?!! its time to split some heads.
Its hard to remain productive when someone comes to your house and destroys everything you own. I think thats the idea here. Tactical targeting is less costly for us and saves lives.
We aren't just going after the "bees" we are going after the bee's missles, nuclear production plants, tanks, bunkers and etc.
You still have thousands of pissed-off bee's swarming at you, doing whatever damage they can as individuals. Yeah, the stick is stronger, but a thousand stings can still drop someone.
Dunno... I just have a bad feeling about it this time.
I have a bad feeling about it too........but I also think something should have been done back in 98 when he kicked the U.N.inspectors out.He's gotten away with too much for too long.
uhmmmm.... the bee analogy is getting old. but, most of the opposing bees are going to surrender within minutes of the begining of the war. i would say that it isnt going to be as bad as everyone seems to think its going to be. however, i also think we may be wasting our time in the effort to find saddam. he will hide and we may never catch him. we might have iraq, but saddam may never be found. thats just what i think. who knows, i could be wrong.
Yeah,I think your right there.He supposedly has more than a few doubles,so how can they even tell if its him for sure.We've had a hard time catching osama and saddam probably has more money and resources than he does.

True, some idiotic person that goes in and stirs up a bees nest is asking for trouble. I'm sure a few decades ago people had trouble with bees. Course once beesuits were made and we figured out that you can calm the bees by "smoking" them....
I think you should reverse the analogy.
These terrorists and Dictator wanna "bees" came over here and smacked our hive. Now they have a lot of pissed off killer bees that are basicly invisible and can launch long range guided stingers the size of volkswagons. And they don't have bee suits or any smoke....
Just like the bees, maybe we will incurr some losses but think of what we are protecting here.
I saw a special on Sadams underground network. appearantly the architect came out and told about it. it is more elaborate then anything ever made. they said that he could be in his underground bunker and withstand the A Bomb.
by the way.. did anyone hear what the Dixie Chicks said??
They said they were ashamed to be from the same state as the president.
well if they arent happy with him, and our nations cause then they can move to Iraq for all i am concerned. let them see what kind of leader they have there!
Personally I don’t agree with the war against Iraq for a number of reasons. The lack of preparation for the people of Iraq that we are going to displace is what really bothers me. Thousands of Iraqis are going to be killed over this invasion one way or another. It’s true that Saddam needs to be removed but what the US is doing right now isn’t in the benefit of his people or in our best interests.
Well that’s my $.02 in politics
What I am a little concerned about is any "Wild cards" little Saddam may try to pull out of his sleeve. Use Chemical Warfare? (Which makes our case that he has WMD) Anthrax? Attack Israel? Set the oil wells on fire? Suicide once he's cornered and trapped?
War is a dangerous game... basically a million things could happen and they all ain't pretty. But its one of those things that just needs to be done. I support the President and our troops!
I am against the war, but since we are going anyways we might as well glass* em. And the 48 hour thing is just a delay and an attempt to make the U.S. look a little nicer.
I realize no one WANTS war, but how long do you let treaties be broken?
As prior military person of eight years I am definately not wanting my fellow brothers and sisters to go into harms way, but if the rules are not enforced why do we have them?
My brother is over there right now and hearing all of the crying about how things are being done just rips my heart out. If anyone tells me that what we are doing "has no cause" they'd be better off in Iraq than in front of me
Our best bet is to show our troops our support, and that what they are fighting for is fighting for them as well.
Don't worry I don't have any anger problems.... yet
