New Europe Steps Up

[TCO]

We went to war, not because of a missile on the launcher, but because of a systemic failure of Saddam to act peacefully. Exemplified by his secret weapons programs, kicking inspectors out, etc.

[Boris Godunov]

Keep revising, TCO, keep revising.

I don't recall one war Iraq had other than with the US in the last ten years.

And no, thats not the reason. Condie said it was for the Iraqi people. Though Rummy said it was about WoMD....Who cares what he thinks?

Indeed, it was a lovely place. Did you ever catch wind of that article of a journalist's pass by a prison for orphans of Saddam's (and therefore "the peoples") enemies?

Snuggled firmly in Bagdhad as a reminder to other potential enemies, the smell in itself was enough to make journalists vomit. Kind of like a KFC advertising it's greasy scent throughout the air to draw customers - only using children in their own filth to intimidate

...but hey, that's just propoganda. Of course a country who would pull something as bat**** and backwards as this (even this to its own people) can still be good

Perhaps a naive little rich Canadian boy, agreed?

I know this is hard for a civ-playing pea-brain to understand, but we went to war for more important reasons than a specific jug of chemicals.

0/10. That was horrible for two reasons: 1. It wasn't even a valid insult. 2. It doesn't apply to me.

And your right, we did. Unless we find a jug full of chemicals. Then we went to war to save the world from Saddams WoMD

Face it. Republicans have been changing their story sooo much ever since we occupied Iraq.

Otherwise, it was (fill in here)

A: For the Iraqi people!
B: To save Iraqs neighbors.
C: To destroy a terrorist haven. (Invalid.)
D: To rid Saddam of WoMD. (Invalid.)

Why even bother arguing with a kid who has a Stalinist Russian identity. communism is washed up. You're a joke.

If the rest of the world would wake up and understand that its about getting Iraq fixed and not about "standing up to the US" then everyone would be better off in the long run. France and Germany have simply lost their minds.

Maybe if the Bushmen would wake up and realize they aren't licenced to rule the world, admit that they made a mess in Iraq, and hand over command to somebody other than Haliburton , other countries would be willing to put their men at risk.

Can't debate the facts, so instead you resort to personal attacks

This debate was fun TCO, mainly beause you didn't really try to defend your position

B: To save Iraqs neighbors.

Actually, this one has been shot down as well, since our invasion proved that Iraq wouldn't have had the military might to successfully attack a paper bag.

Yeah Iraq was just ducky. Saddam was really trustable.

Saddam was even less trustable when the US supplied him with VX gas and trained him in the use of anthrax.

[Nubclear]

While that may be true, in the American peoples eyes its still a valid excuse for war.

However, C and D aren't because they've been completly disproven. Any attempt to back it up results in a political loss.

German and Irish?

That's like mixing lard with Crisco...

Yeah, widespread torture and oppression isn't that bad.
