This is a question that needs to be answered. I would like to see the Pentagon’s rational for the timing of our invasion of Iraq.

The summer was too hot. The attack had to happen in March or not for another six months. Saddam knew this, was stalling.

Also note that nobody KNEW that Saddam did not have biological weapons. We only knew that he had failed to prove that he did not have them and that the inspectors hadn't found anything yet. Don't make not knowing X into knowing that not X. It's bad logic.

 

I understand March. The question is WHY 2003? Saddam stalling did not pose a hazzard!

I think it is almost not practical to keep the forces on a stand-by status for very long. They were in-place and ready to start since Jan or Feb. You cant keep that Armada sitting idle for very long. It is like a Boxer, how long can you keep him standing outside the Ring?

Well, I participated mostly because I was bored, and tired of being stationed in Korea. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

You just can not come up with a valid excuse for the choices Bush made. Why do you feel compelled to defend that I diot?

Oh, and have a very happy Thanksgiving Holiday!

Reply By: DaiwaPosted: Saturday, November 24, 2007And your arguments are the intellectual equivalent of "Your mother wears Army boots." I can't help the terminally deranged.

YOU ARE PATHETIC!

I rest my case.

Topic #5 for ColGene... out of what, 6?

Let's see here there's:

1: Bush sucks because he stole 2 elections.
2: Bush sucks because of his National Guard record.
3: Bush sucks because of the economy.
4: Bush sucks because of the deficit
5: Bush sucks because of the war in Iraq.
6: Bush sucks because he doesn't bow to the almighty UN.

Did I miss any? Somehow I doubt. 446 articles saying the same thing. It's like a broken record.

Gene, is there anything new you have to say on anything, or are you just going to continue rehashing the same 6 or so articles over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ?

don't think if you used a sledge hammer it would make a dent

give him a break. he is after all a national guard col. whom somebody felt sorry for and promoted him to col anyways.

and he only has one thing in the whole world to do and that is to attack and attack and attack bush. facts don't matter, truth doesn't matter.

this is probable the question saddam was asking when he was hiding in his rat hole.

these questions may have been answered.


your also assume that what these men do in public is the same thing they do behind closed doors.


you have a boss(even if that boss is your wife.). when you two decide a course of action in private, do you then argue about it in public.

Reply By: danielostPosted: Sunday, November 25, 2007NO one has shown WHY we had to invade Iraq in March 2003!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is probable the question saddam was asking when he was hiding in his rat hole.

That does not show WHY Bush had to invade Iraq in March 2003.

Good leaders make major decisions predicated on sound rational and reasons. The situation in March 2003 was such that there WERE NO SOUND reasons to invade Iraq and in fact there were many good reasons to allow David Kay to complete his inspections and to build a U.S. Ground Force of a sufficient size to accomplish the mission of invading Iraq!
