Bush Address To United Nations

[Chris 62]

To clarify, since some, like our Russia friend, are a little slow:
I said:
"I wonder when France and Russia will agree to lift the sanctions on Iraq, they were hot to do it with Saddam there, now, they want Mr MaGoo to go back and certify things."

The link says:
"France, in an unexpected move toward the U.S. position, called Tuesday for trade and economic sanctions against Iraq (news - web sites) to be suspended...French officials insisted that U.N. inspectors join U.S.-supervised disarmament squads in Iraq, a demand U.S. officials consider a deal-breaker. "

In other worrd, what I said the first time.

Why are some of you having trouble grasping this?

My stance considering the government in Cuba has changed recently, since when I read the ordeals an Israeli writer that went to live there, got imprisoned as an agent of the Mossad.

So even now the protests basis change.

You better buckle up.
I keep trying to remind, Bush said wherever it's found.

Your attempts for Iraq were misguided, and extremely late.

I asked many times also, "Who's next"?

"Wherever it's found."

Terrorists, be they Arab, or IRA, or Australian Bushman, or American Citizens are going to ultimately get the message.
Terrorism won't be tolerated. Period.

In this instince, they are.

France wants to suspend the sanctions, which is definitely a modification. All suspension are modifications. But all modifications aren't suspensions. You said that France only wants to "modify" the sanctions, not cancel them, which implies that they want to, perhaps, lessen the strength of the sanctions. When you say "modify" it makes it seem like the sanctions would still be present, when, in fact, they won't be. They'll be "suspended".

The two words give two very different meanings in this case.

Azazel : your new avatar sucks

Chris : What exactly is wrong with UN inspectors being there ? It doesn't mean the Iraqis have to suffer from the dreaded sanctions anyways.

Well two wrongs do not make a right... so Bush Castro



Still it would be nice that Bush does what he speaks about, but where is Afghanistan in the news? I hope they are progressing nicely, they must be doing well with all the help they are getting for country rebuilding...

No national aspiration, no remembered
wrong can ever justify the deliberate murder of the innocent. Any government that rejects this
principle, trying to pick and choose its terrorist friends, will know the consequences."

and is he telling us that Saddam was attacked because his links with 9-11? Or maybe we will see a crusade and changeover of all the dictatorships in the world and all those that kill innocent people too like the Saudis ... sure... or maybe US will stop favouring the murdering bastards just because they give support to US actions .. yeah right... ... and all the rest

Or maybe this is a talk to convince the people that what US is doing at the moment is done because it was a moral imperative...

As much as I hate the American imperialism, I think this sentence is utterly and absolutely stupid. The Cuban people are mostly free of US influence, sure, but are bound with Castro's authoritarian regime. Free ? My ass

Sorry I disagree. In the real world the options the Cuban people have are either Fidel or another Batista. I know which I'd rather have and I know which the Cubans would rather have. I know none of you like it, but the vast majority of the Cuban people really love Fidel.

Which would you rather have, Fidel or Batista II?

If the US simply left Cuba alone, you would find that there would be no need for these measures. But they won't because they never have. They have wanted and continue to want Cuba for themselves.

Agathon, you're paranoid.

Spiff: any better suggestions?

I am getting wierd avatars, sometimes of people I hate. I had an Usama avatar, a Celine Dione avatar...

[Chris 62]

Look again.

They want to "suspend", IE "change the current conditions," based, as I said intially, on criteria they wish, NOT just ending them outright.
France's plan would mean the oil for palaces...er, .."food" program would continue indefinately.

Change of condition is a MODIFACATION.

[SlowwHand]

You're so full of bull****.
All we get from Cuba are refugees and baseball players, still refugees.

Pay attention.

Read what Cinch said.

And as I've done many times, I'm not going to mention how you can't seem to effectively command your own language. Russians can be very nice people if you get on their good side.......So I'll spare you the humiliation

NEITHER mean ending it.

Actually, the word "suspension" means to end until a specific period of time. If a student is suspended, then his education will end until a certain period of time.

The word modification however means to change. So if a student has a status modification, it does not mean he was suspended.....It means they may have put "Brilliant" or "Mental Disorder OCD" or whatever.

Considering your obvious lack of known word uses, I think this link may be helpful.

Are you surprised? How irrational and unjust for the Cuban government to be suspicious of the closest ally of a country that has made no secret of it's ambition to see Cuba run as an American province.

These attempts to turn Castro into Stalin or Ceaucescu are risible. He isn't like them at all. His crimes, if they could be called that, don't have anything to do with Communism. Rather they have to do with his desire to keep Cuba independent of US influence.

Wow, the Cuban people should really want to be free. Just like the Nicaraguans, the Guatemalans, Chileans and all the other people the US f*cked over in the name of freedom.

[Kuciwalker]

Chris - in this instance, modify does NOT mean suspend. Suspend means they are actually REMOVED for some period of time, whereas if they are modified they are simply CHANGED, and not necessarily removed for any period of time.

If so, it's a paranoia based on history.
