so this war with iraq? what a load of shit!!! Bush is a fucking idiot and in my opinion he should be tried for murder if this war goes ahead, and tony blair...what a puppet he is

Welcome to the board comrade.

George Bush is indeed a murderer, even if he does not go ahead and kill innocent people in Iraq.

Don't forget about good old Johnny Howard. He said something that made me laugh:

"even more horrific outcomes than what occurred in Bali could happen if rouge nations are not stopped from giving weapons to terrorists"

The sad thing is that people actually believe him.

Does anyone else see the irony?

Welcome scottishsocialist!

I've received this comment from a clleague:

"Just to note that charges indicating the "shock and awe" strategy was the flight of fancy of people outside the US military were wrong. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has indicated that is precisely the strategy drawn to carry out the war in Irak

--- Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, has explained U.S. plans for a war of "shock and awe" in which 3,000 precision bombs and missiles would be rained down on Iraq in just 48 hours. "The best way to have a short war," he said, "is to have such a shock on the system that the Iraqi regime would have to assume, early on, that the end was inevitable."
