What's this I hear? - Invading Iraq...

[Xvall]

I was half asleep, and the TV was on, I was muttering to myself, while I was hearing the news, so I don't know if I dreamed this or heard it on TV. I'm pretty sure I heard it on TV, and they were talking about Invading Iraq. Is this true? I mean, I know they've been planning this for a long time, but will they invade now?

[Menshevik]

The US probably will soon. They've had troops stationed in Kuwait for a long time now.

[SU37]

Iraqi army is probably on alert and there left-over tanks from the Gulf-war are probably just a few T-72's and T-55's and T-62's.Iraq is in for a puppet goverment when the US takes over there.

[jimr]

If its an invasion then it will be in january or feburary of next year. It is more likely that it will just be some airstrikes on Hussians Palaces and army barracks. The US seems to think that an assasination of saddam will stop the need to invade. It is unlikely that the US will train Kurdish proxy forces as seen in Afghanistan and in the Contras froces against nicaragua, as Turkey, a leading ally of the US keeps the Kurdish people down in Turkey, and any help given to Kurdish resistance in the US would likely lead to an escalation of resistance in Kurdish Turkey.

The world needs another nuclear power that will oppose the US.

[Hattori Hanzo]

W is funding more and more anit-Hussien groups, but you can't blame him

[jimr]

Of course you can. As far as I see it, Hussian is a horrible person, but he is confined, he is only a local power. The US is the only terrorist state in the world capable of attacks anywhere in the world. The amount of wars that the US have started and the imperial aims of these wars dwarf Hussains invasion of kuwait which seems alot more justified than Israels occupation of teh west bank, gaza and the golan heights as of 1967.

Kuwait was pumping oil from the iraqi side of the (disputed) border. There was ample reason for the Iraqi invasion, though i still believe it to be unjust. Yet there is still more justification in the iraqi invasion of Kuwait than the prementioned Israeli assualt.

The U.S military has more than doubled it's troops in the Gulf over the last few weeks. From what I've heard, Kuwait isn't actually that happy about Iraq being hit again - they've voiced their concern about it, and possibly even told the U.S that they'll need to find somewhere else to base themselves. Most of the current troops appear to be based on ships.

[pastradamus]

The americans should Invade Iraq.I think they need to because they owe it to the rebels they encouraged but never militaraly aided.The result was the death of the rebels by torture.

And i think nobody on this site should not support sadam,The US might be fuckers but after what that ****
did to them poor kurds I think he should get the old zulu death (thats when they shove a pole up ur arse and let ur own bodyweight slowly impale you).

[Rob]

Yeah, I read that it will take place sometime in 2003, either before or after summer.

[suffianr]

That happened to me the other day, fell alseep in front of the telly, woke up and thought Jerry Seinfeld had invaded Slovakia with an army of one-armed Texan mudslinging dwarfs. Weird...

Maybe Saddam's hiding in under his bed in a pink lingerie, even as we speak...

You just don't get it. The American government but the Tyrant saddam hussein in the country. It's not that I support Saddam, but if America invades, they're going to kill a bunch of civilians with chemical weapons like they did last time. DId you know that about 5% of Iraqi children are born with defects because of the wapons America used in their last assult.

[deimos]

you can be absolutely sure that there will be no invasion before autumn 02.I hope that the americans will be so stupid and support the kurdish seperatists.

The result was the death of the rebels by torture.
they walled more then hundred kurdish rebells in their hq in sulaymania.

[BenJammin]

pastradamus you must be a total moron.... you wandered off topic twice in that post, and seem to not know what you are talking about.

But enough wandering off topic :D

[Angie]

While I agree that Saddam would be much better off out of Office, I don't believe in bringing his death. Or that of anyone else in Iraq. And I don't believe that any choice America makes in relation to the future Iraqi President would be an improvement, no matter who they were. America, frankly, has no right to decide who is or isn't important, who is or isn't to be in Office, or anything else of the sort. No right, whatsoever.

And they wonder why people hate them. Frankly, it's as obvious as a detonated nuke up the sinuses. Wake up, America.

[Xenoth]

It is hard to invade ýraq by america.
Do you know about a new military pact which includes Turkey, Russia and China.
Turkey, Russia and China support undividing Iraq. It is a great problem for america and solving this problem is so difficult. this pact support ýraq because they don't want to strenghten U.S. in middle east. After dividing Iraq, America will establish so-called Kurdistan in north Iraq. However this country will be a great satellite of U.S. . Therefore, America can rule middle east easier than today.
If you support america against Iraq, you will support imperialism in middle east, zionism and so Israel against Palestine.
(This pact includes Iran and other EVIL :) countries , too. I think america can not make a new WORLD WAR)
Don't forget! America supported Iraq against Kuwait, before Gulf War.

[Red Revolution]

Iraq is as right wing as they come. No one in Iraq supports saddam but they cant do anything about it. They need a Che.

[RedSovietCCCP]

First of all angie you say you don't think they should kill saddem???? Don't forget that saddem killed hundreds of his own people and pissed on one of the dead bodys on national T.V. during the gulf war. Sounds like another hitler to me.

Second of all Drake, Saddem is the one who is creating the chemical weapons and using it on his own people. Where the hell did you get america was using chemical weapons???? Thats why saddem doesn't let UN inspections to take place. In the gulf war saddem even put woman and children in places that the US where going to bomb to make it look like that the U.S. bombed them on purpose. And that 5% children you speak of is the Iraqi government to blame not the U.S. Civilian death will always happen in a war. There is no avoiding that. If you think a war can go on with out any civilain death your mistaken. Saddem even supports bin ladden. Don't forget about 9-11, thousands of civilian are dead because of that fucker.

During the Gulf War Red.. They used Missiles with nuclear was in them. Saddam only chemically gasses dissidents..

[deimos]

Gah! Typos!

No. I didn't mean nuclear missiles. They put Nuclear Waste, and Chemical waste in the tactical warheads for an increased affect against personell. But it spread.

sorry, iam not one of these "hooray the us saved us from sadam" guys but y should the americans do that?They get no advantage from killing civilians by bombing.

[hobo]

Havn't you seen, NATO warships started shelling Cape Wrath in Scotland today, its a target practice exercise, they are on their way to Iraq in just under a month. Whether they will be carrying out any action there in the next year is uncertain, but at least you know that your taxes are going to make a bigger mess of a mess that they created.
