This is another great accomplishment in the war on terrorism! Oh ya, wait, hold on, Saddam has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism, but hey sure is a good excuse to give tons of money to companies like Halliburton (---- Cheney's last employer) to rebuild not to mention all that oil!

Totally different kind of thing. With your thinking WWII, the Cold War, Kosovo and Vietnam would have all been one big war on terror and we would also need to go after Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Libya, Somalia, Cambodia and about a million other countries all over the world. The way I look at it, unless there were American bodies in those pits then it’s the U.N.’s deal and the US Military.

Last I remember, Saddam was openingly offering up to $50,000 to the families of suicide bombers in Palestine. Sounds like terrorism to me. Also, I do undersatnd that politics play a huge role in where money goes to. However, my understanding is that there are only two companies in the world that have the infrastructure and ability to work on the Iraqi oil fields in that capacity. One is Halliburton and the other is a French company. So where did you expect it to go?

aside from all the stupid political issues....YEA!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:
I think we should just have him tied to a pole and let everyone in america or in the world kick him in the cajones for 5 bucks a kick!
from what i understand they caught him in a small hole in a barn....with a gun and 750,000 bucks! One would think he could afford a comb or a hair cut....maybe that was his whole plan.

Hey aarone why would you want to kick him? What did he ever do to hurt you? Ya I knew about the Palestine connection but I still don't feel that justifies sending in US troops. Did you know that when Saddam invaded Kuwait Osama went to the Saudi's and offered to take 1 million of his unemployed mujahideen warriors and take Saddam out of power because he was a bad muslim? So by that thinking Osama could have been part of out coalition.

well, although not proven 100%, if he is not involved with terrorsm and the WTC crash of 9-11
then there is an awful lot fo circumstancial evidence. like him not only being in the right place for the alleged meetings, but also in the same country strikes a pretty impressive suspicion. for a man who never left iraq much at the time, he was in the right places at the right times, to be able to convince me.
But like i said YES, it is only circumstancial. But that would be like saying i just happend to be standing at the JFk carrying a box cutter onto a plane that fatal morning. BUT I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
Who do you suppose would believe me?
And, IMO having anything to do with 911 as well as everythign else he had done, is more than justifiable reasoning for us getting involved. HECK, it should have been done before but we backed down and left iraq prematurely the first time.
Not to mention, he harbored terrorist and encouraged his sons to be the way they are. And, if they were not terrorist and dictators, then i would not have a clue as to whom to refer to as a terrorist.
And dont be dissing uncle adolf, he was a key role in history and although a driven man, we owe alot of our freedoms to him and the war. Without hitler and the war, many things we take for granted accept as freedom, would not be today.

You are right, he killed millions of HIS OWN PEOPLE, when did it become the policy of the United States Military to go after people for that? And if you and fshhub know of a connection between Saddam and 911 you probably need to contact the white house because they have been hard pressed to find one.

It has always been our policy to help out lesser countries. We also have always been first to get involved in their political matters to help put things in order
lets see there was:
vietnam
korea
phillipines
all of europe(until the division of he 2 blocks once again became one)
south america(panama, columbia and guam)
iran
heck, we even got involved in russian politics to an extenet
I am sure there are some i forgot as well.
as to his involvment with 911, I am not too sure about you, but i distinctly remember it being all over the news with video clips and photos of him meeting in europe with others thought to be involved. We jsut were not able to prove it without question, this is why we were not able to use it at the UN meetings.and if hooday(his son, sp?) was not a terrorist then........
as far as the white house goes......... n/m if i told you they'd have to kill you.
BTW,
yippppeeeee!!!
:jumping: :jumping: :cheer: :cheer: :jumping: :jumping:
We got him!!!!!

There is no connection between Iraq and 9/11. The meeting you are referring to in Europe doesn't look like it ever took place. Saddam just wanted to stay alive, attacking the U.S. would have meant certain death. Look at the way he gave himself up. The president, even after trying to concoct some sort of link between the two, had to on the record that there was no connection. Saddam and Osama do not like each other. They never have and they won't when they share a cell in hell. I hope this Iraq mess is over soon so we can go back to fighting terrorism. We need our troops and treasure elsewhere. If you don't think this is hurting us in Afghanistan, you haven't been paying attention. It is looking like that is a war we will have to fight again and soon.
I am glad that Saddam was caught, though it does nothing for me personally. He is a terrible man who caused all sorts of misery to so many people. But...if we are a nation so focused on liberation, why are we bowing to China on the Taiwan issue? It looks like a war is looming there, China isn't afraid to brutally kill its own people, but we will stand on the sidelines.

i dont think he was saying he did not like america...he just doesnt agree with the methods bush used to validate a 'war on terror" I agree to an extent with what he is saying and he has a very valid point. But i am also glad to see a horrible dictator brought down and justice will soon be served.

Guys, I don't know if he was directly related to any terroists acts, and I don't care. He is a bad bad man, and his sons were worse. I look at this as a possible step toward getting our troops back home where they should be. I think those that don't believe we should be there should look at this as a nice step toward getting ourselves out of there. Saddam and his boys raped and killed at their leisure for years and years. I am personally VERY glad he is alive, and I was wondering the whole time if he was still alive, and if he was watching his empire crumble.
I wouldn't have recognized him if he walked right by me.
