Bush Speech Thread

[Sava]

My Prediction:

Saddam will dig in, won't be found. Iraq will be "liberated". Bush will get voted out in 2004. Then him and Cheney will make millions selling the new Iraqi regime oil equipment.

Meanwhile, the economy will continue to sag, we'll create even more debt, then a Democratic president will balance the budget and we'll see economic boom around 2011.

I believe we said that there would be no invasion. A peaceful occupation isn't an invasion...

I'm not arguing about the necessity of this; I just find it fairly strange that several people here think that the US would pack up and leave if Saddam exiled himself, when their own Secretary of State has said the exact opposite.

i think (but cant speak for) the people mean that we wouldn't go in and kill people if he left. if saddam left, do you think the Iraqis would fight us?

Even though Uber seems to like our mentally-handicapped, evil president; he does make a good point. Despite objecting to the war, I still support our troops. They're the home team. And if you don't want to root for the home team, then get the hell out.

That's not what the question was. It was about invading.

If the Iraqi Army surrendered in one go, then no: I don't think you'd continue shooting them.

So no one is going to comment about the "don't burn your oilfields" bit ?

Akane Tendo said don't burn, don't burn too. And She used vinegear instead of wine.
Maybe we could nickname Bush as Akane Tendo. You know Bush cute girl. Boris what would you think about this idea?

well, i might, but i'm just bored. i wouldnt want to get deployed in the desert and NOT kill something. i think the armed forces have a bit more restraint, though.

Sava, Tass has every right to not support the USA if he chooses not to. If he feels that the bad guys are the home team in this instance, why should he be forced to support them? Were Germans who dissented in the 30's wrong for doing so?

To get to the occupying stage you have to invade. Unless you feel that the Iraqis would have the ability to form a new, legitimate, internationally-recognised government in the time between Saddam leaving and you entering (which would probably be measured in hours) and which would immediately invite you in for tea, it would be an invasion.
