ethan Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 War, probably. if there is war, we will probably be hit before friday. peace, i doubt it. the only good thing is we might not have to go to school. i hope my town doesnt get nuked. then, my friends would die fast and i would die slow from radiation in the country. :( :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Damn Ethan, isn't that a little too paranoid? I think there will be war for sure. There is no way Suddam Hussein is going to give the UN weapons inspector unlimited and unfettered access to anything they like. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Iraq doesn't have any longrange missiles, the worst it can do is nuke Israel or surrounding areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordos45 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 NewsFlash: CNN reports Iraqi Parliament unamiously votes against UN Resolution. They authorize Saddam to defend the Iraqi people against any agression with any force he deems necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxianMace Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 any force he deems necessary.I presume that would include any stockpiles of nuclear or biological weapons he may possess. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjCiD Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 So is war coming before Friday then?or will he at least wait till then?So are the UN inspectors even gonna try and inspect or is it time to lay the smaketh down upon his candy ass?

ordos45 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 That is what I presume. (From before my first post.) If we wanted to get technical on the US nuking him, it would be against a lot of international treaties. However according to these nice programs the government has been running to tell us why we should be scared of non-Americans I saw a loophole. Apparently a country can fill normal missiles with radioactive pellets and rain that sort of nuclear destruction upon a target, legally under international law. Don't you love Government controlled TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurlyPIG Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 War is inevitable. It's just a matter of when. Both sides are preparing for war for quite some time. The US knew Iraq would never let weapons inspectors everywhere, and plan to go to war based on that. Iraq knew they would, too. Bush has been readying the world for war for quite some time. Hussein has just finished a new propaganda campaign, which included a children's day, the release of political prisoners who weren't executed, and an election in which Uncle Saddam won 100% of the votes! ROFL. The purpose of this recent string of lies is obviously to get his country behind him.I think it's for the better. Many will die, but the Iraqis will finally be free.

Taqwa11 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Good points, Ace. I agree with you. Here's a passage from Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell, HarperCollins Publishers, 1988) for you to contemplate: 31Weapons are the tools of violence;all decent men detest them.Weapons are the tools of fear;a decent man will avoid themexcept in the direst necessityand, if compelled, will use themonly with the utmost restraint.Peace is his highest value.If the peace has been shattered,how can he be content?His enemies are not demons,but human beings like himself.He doesn't wish them personal harm.Nor does he rejoice in victory.How could he rejoice in victoryand delight in the slaughter of men?He enters a battle gravely,with sorrow and with great compassion,as if he were attending a funeral.

quoudam72 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 What is this war really about and who will benifit from it the most. When this war is over will America next go to war with any of the other "axis of evil" memebers? North Korea admits to having nuclear weapons and America wants to attack Iraq for the assumption that it does have nuclear weapons. I mean do not get me wrong but something here smells like horse manure. Bagdad will look like Paris after the Germans left in 1944 is this is what will happen?

Edric O Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 If the war is sanctioned by the UN, they can go right ahead and kick Saddam's ass. Not that it will do any good to anyone outside Iraq, but at least the Iraqi people will be free.Saddam isn't stupid. If he has nukes, he can't use them unless he wants to see a mushroom cloud over every single Iraqi city. Ever heard of COUNTERSTRIKES?Biological weapons, on the other hand, are a totally different matter. It's them that we should worry about.

Acriku Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 If the war is sanctioned by the UN, they can go right ahead and kick Saddam's ass. Ha...sorry just wanted to laugh at that.Bush is sending a couple hundred thousand US soldiers into Iraq, for a sweepup and hopefully a quick one.

Dude_Doc Posted November 13, 2002 Author Share Posted November 13, 2002 Update: Now it seems the Iraqui regime has said "yes" to UN. www.cnn.com , if you have forgotten :P.No, maybe on Saturday morning if Saddam changes his plans, he still got tomorrow :P.

nemafakei Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Also http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2465463.stmAs expected, Iraq is not stupid enough to give the UN a reason not to restrain the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exatreide Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 They do not have long range strategic missels. However they could strap a nuke to a SCUD missle and destroy targets in Turkey and Isreal.They could also distribute them via terrorist networks...Hope they dont...I live right downwind of chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Do not speak of thermonuclear missiles lightly. They carry a danger even higher than biological and not because of their destructiveness. If Iraq uses its weapons on US - US will use its missiles on Iraq and then the countries supporting Iraq will use their missiles on US - then the countries supporting US will use their missiles on the countries supporting Iraq. And in the end, we all lose. Al it takes is one madman - one man insane enough to give the first command and turn Earth into an orb of mushroom clouds.

ordos45 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Give Saddam credit, more faces and lies than even our politicians. First it is no, then it is yes, by Christmas maybe he'll have restrained enough attempts to inspect to attack him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Btw, any of you watch 12 Monkeys? If so - watch out for those red haired people who are interested too much in the Apocalypse ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 The Army of the 12 Monkeys unite!Vigil, the problem is getting the missiles to launch and detonate here or in the skies over here. They can't, so they will bomb Israel or some other close country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilVirus Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Dude, they trained pilots over here, what makes you think that they can't get a nuke over the border? It's not that hard especially if they bribe the security. They don't have to launch anything - set up and detonate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
