And in comes the money...

1) I have actually seen film from within Baghdad, it is played constantly on the news. Lot sof destroyed civilian buildings, many dead and wounded in the hospitals.

2) Given that the USA is hitting Baghdad with missiles and bombs every night, and Baghdad happens to be a city (ie. a place full of civilians), and given that you seem to think anyone who suggests civilians might die when a civilian city is bombed is a victim of propaganda, I am beginning to get the impression that you're a moron.

Alias

So the moderator says I'm brainwashed.

And now posters call me a moron.

Why don't you go hide under your beds, while my fellow countrymen, and many of yours, bravely sacrifice their lives defending your freedoms, and your peace.

And another thing, you call me names, which I believe is against the rules of this forum. So, I can only assume that the rules have changed. But I won't stoop to your level. What I will do though, is invite you to kiss my red, white, and blue ***.

LOL...we prefer the word 'butt' if you don't mind.

You are really lacking in any sort of perspective, it is readily apparent. Whether you did it to yourself, or you had it forced upon you, is besides the point.

Oh, and hey, hero, when do you ship out for the gulf?

Zero

"Moron" isn't the proper way to describe someone, boss.

Zero

Oh, and I'm sure that if you want the truth about the war, you will have to go outside the USA to get it. American media is in the hip-pockect of the DOD.

kat

Yeah, OOOOOOKAY..that must be why Haliburton has oil extraction contracts with North Korea...Haliburton always signs Oil extraction contracts with countries that have no oil! What a world this is eh?
puleeeeesseeee do a little research people[g)]

Man, you really must think this war is some sort of videogame. If the US can't even avoid the mistake of shooting down one of thier allies' figther plane, what do you think the chances are that some of those bombings will damage structures close to the intended target, or even worse, miss the target completely.

AS for Iraqi gov suggesting collateral damage, refer to Adam's links or try the watching the news. Unless, of course, like Alias, you feel those are all mere propaganda.

les

Ahh...I see. So this war is being fought because the powers that be figured the casualty count would be more acceptable. Damn! And I almost believed Bush when he said it's about evil Saddam and his dangerous weapons of mass destruction.

Alias

Now think about that statement. It is patently false on its face. Everyone has a 'perspective'.

Do you just talk because it makes you feel important?

If you'll re-read my post in order to understand it, you will see that I never suggested that I would be shipping out. FYI, I performed my service to my country with five years of active duty and three years of reserve.

I suppose you served yours with complaining and protests?

Zero

LOL, so Cheney's cronies have there fingers in every pot...nothing new there. He pushed for the sanctions to be lifted so he could make a bck, after all.

American companies have no problems with dealing with dictatorships.

les

Kat, you're right. My mistake for not getting the facts right about the oil part...

Alias

What rules of logic allow you to draw that conclusion? Zero's maybe?

les

Why Alias, I was just following your argument. You're the one that brought up the issue of stomaching 50 casualties against 250,000 casualties...

Alias

Gimme a break!

I see your lips moving but your not saying anything. Another trick learned from Zero?

les

If we ask them not to, will they promise to stop?

Zero

Alias, I'm starting to think you have a crush on me...sorry, boss, I'm taken!

les

I see you typing but it's still back to Zero. Why, you have some sort of repressed fixation with this Zero person?
