Revelation. Do You Even Remember the Gulf War ?

[SlowwHand]

I'm thinking now that some of the hesititation expressed by...some here about dealing with Iraq is because you simply may be too young to actually remember the Gulf War.
I tend to forget that not all of you are ancients, like Ming and RAH.

So do you remember?
Do you remember oil fields on fire?
How about Israel withstanding scud missle attacks, and standing fast ?
How about veterans who served who are now experiencing what may be symptoms caused by gases ?

Just curious is all.

[Provost Harrison]

Yes, I remember...

I remember.

[Sandman]

I remember there being a good reason for war.

I don't remember the huge casualties of the Iraqis (100000), it wasn't reported.

[SlowwHand]

I will always and forever remain absolutely amazed about Israel.
Never, in any situation, have I seen a group of people sit there and just take it.
Repeatedly hit, yet taking it, because they were asked to sit and take it.

i remember iraq actually provoking war by invading kuwait, not geroge bush provoking war by invading iraq.

Given that all the estimates, short of the very early reports, put this figure at or under 35,000, there's probably a good reason for that. Like it's wrong.

Just so you realize, MRT. This is an extension of that war.
As many times as you repeat fallacies about Bush and Blair, you'll still be wrong.

Yes, I remember the first gulf war. I remember the greenish pictures of nightly Baghdad on CNN, and I remember Israel being attacked by Scud missiles. Those were the days, when wars in Iraq still were justified, extension or not.

Actually I remember the war getting some significant discomfort. It was not popular until after we won. 44 Democrat Senators voted to forbid Bush Sr. from prosecuting the war. That was the support they gave the CiC after he made his case.

yes I remember it. I was 6, and we all came into a single room in the appartment, where all the doors and the windows were "sealed". I wore a gasmask, with a battery powered filtered-air supply engine. I remember I used to turn the engine off a lot.

This war will be a continuation of the earlier one. He has not abided by the agreement we signed with him. We have been skirmishing with him all through the 90's.

You were just hoping to catch a buzz, Azazel.
Bad idea.

[Az]

yeah, tell me about it.

[MRT144]

its a continuation? now you hawks are just reaching for reasons to go to war.
