Specter

Also, it could be because Sadaam is dressing his troops like ours and the woodland helps distinguish us from them.

That is awesome.

I was a naive fool to be a human shield for Saddam By Daniel Pepper (Filed: 23/03/2003) I wanted to join the human shields in Baghdad because it was direct action which had a chance of bringing the anti-war movement to the forefront of world attention. It was inspiring: the human shield volunteers were making a sacrifice for their political views - much more of a personal investment than going to a demonstration in Washington or London. It was simple - you get on the bus and you represent yourself. So that is exactly what I did on the morning of Saturday, January 25. I am a 23-year-ol

I thought this was pretty funny. Sorry about the caps. I copy and pasted because im a sorry excuse for a typist. HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING FISHY ABOUT THE INSPECTION TEAMS WHO HAVE >ARRIVED IN IRAQ? THEY'RE ALL MEN! HOW IN THE NAME OF THE UNITED NATIONS >DOES ANYONE EXPECT MEN TO FIND SADDAM'S STASH? WE ALL KNOW THAT MEN HAVE >A BLIND SPOT WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING THINGS. FOR CRYING' OUT LOUD! THEY >CAN'T FIND THE DIRTY CLOTHES HAMPER. THEY CAN'T FIND THE JAR OF JELLY >UNTIL IT FALLS OUT OF THE CUPBOARD >AND SPLATTERS ON THE FLOOR.... AND THESE ARE THE PEOPLE

That's because they are over there, and can first hand what that animal is capable of, and what he has done, and they know that someone must stop him. They believe in what they are doing, because it is a just cause, and there is no one else in the world who is capable of handling the task. Boys, I SALUTE YOU ! ! GO GET 'EM ! ! OURAHHHH!!!!!! Semper Fi, my friends. Via Condios!

The average age of the military man is 19 years. He is a short haired, tight-muscled kid who, under normal circumstances is considered by society as half man, half boy. Not yet dry behind the ears, not old enough to buy a beer, but old enough to die for his country. He never really cared much for routine work and he would rather wax his own car than wash his father's; but he has never collected unemployment either. He's a recent High School graduate; he was probably an average student, pursued some form of sport activities, drives a ten year old jalopy, and has a steady girlfriend that e

If it had been me, I wouldnt have missed his head and chest and shot him in the leg, thats for sure. He'd be a dead man. Not liking the way the war is going is one thing. Being a concientious objector is one thing. Fragging your own comrades is a death sentence. They need to let his injured comrads mete out justice on this one. Tie a phosphorous frag to his crotch with a 100 foot string, walk away and pull the pin. ###### traitor. We have enough to worry about over there without worrying about our own. You shouldnt have to worry about your own. Had he done that to m

Here's an interesting tidbit about the economic impact of the war... http://www.msnbc.com/news/888082.asp?0cv=CB10

I dont know. Is the cat thing a British thing? Come to think of it, you never see an eccentric American hero or villain stroking cats all the time> hmmmm.........LOL

I hope your right, but lets face it, they arent the sharpest tool in the drawer, they've proved that very recently. And we are just a tad tied up right now.

Well, the only way to stop it, is to keep the refugees from going to Turkey. Whether we like it or not, Turkey has the right not to let them in, and we cant force them to let them in. The whole reason we are in Iraq is to stop that kind of treatment. So, someone better turn the kurds around and head them somewhere else or get some troops up there to protect them, but i dont think we have enough for that since our coalition is a little short of what it was last time we were there.

Yes, it is. Roger Moore is the head of that anti-terror group. Its also the only movie like this where I have seen the good guy carrying around puddy tats. Usually its the eccentric bad guy. In this one, it's the eccentric good guy.

There are 2 older movies out that are very good. One is called "Ffolkes" with Roger Moore, and the other, which is about the SAS, is called "The Final Option", which is based on real events. Both made in the 80's.

I know it isnt Christmas, and I hope you dont mind Traveler, but this is one of my favorites, for many, reasons. This isn't a tribute to just the Marine Corps, but to all the Soldiers of the 40 countries who have joined with us for this. This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan. > > A little early for Christmas messages but this is very nice.

Now Turkey is totally denying that they have any Soldiers in Iraq, that they are camped 4 miles from the Northern Iraqi Border. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81833,00.html Also, Here is another Interesting tidbit. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81845,00.html It appears that 4 of our missiles missed their Iraqi Targets by 30-40 miles and landed in Iran. I wonder how that happened?

Anyone notice also how quiet everything has been so far concerning Israel? Not like 91 where they were getting SCUD slammed the first day.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,81868,00.html It looks like I may not miss my guess that I made in some earlier posts...I had hoped I was wrong, and still do hope I'm wrong, but it doesnt look that way. Have a look all. Lets see what comes of this.

So far, havent we only sent in about 250,000 this time? In 91, it was over half a million. What are they whining about? It's half the troops, plus France isnt there, and neither is Canada or Egypt or even Saudi Arabia this time either. And I will be a good boy and refrain from my usual repatoire about those countries.

Has anyone but me noticed that the anti-war protesters are causing more damage and causing more trouble than us so called 'War Mongers'? They are a destructive bunch of buggers, aren't they? They are getting as much coverage in the media as the war, and appear to be doing as much damage to our cities as the bombing raids in Iraq. What a bunch of I D I O T S ! ! So much for 'Give peace a Chance', eh, fellas? ROFLMFAO

Yeah......Imagine that.

it just goes to show, that the countries not on board with this have their eyes closed and dont want to see the truth because its inconvenient. This Rabid animal has to be dealt with and dealt with now, once and for all. Sadaam has not done one thing he was supposed to have done to meet conditions for the pull out in 91. Instead of destroying his weapons, he hid them. What more proof does the UN, France and Canada need?

I received this via email, and thought you all might like to read it. It is a speech given by a british commander 20 miles North of the Iraqi Border. The Brits, they have class. This is a speech - > > Troops 'may not come home' > (Filed: 20/03/2003) > > > Sarah Oliver, in a pooled dispatch from Fort Blair Mayne on the Iraqi > border, hears a British commander rally his men for the coming >conflict. > > "A British commander last night warned his men that not all of them > would come home alive. He instructed his soldiers to wrap t

Its all tied together Budgie, but that's alright. Everytime I ask that question, and challenge all the nay sayers to come up with a better plan, no one can. France, Canada, everyone agree there is a problem, and that it needs to be dealt with but dont want to help with the only solution. But thats alright. We are no strangers to going it alone. Neither is England.

Fehyd, You make some extremely good points, and you are absolutely right on all counts. I just want to say to you, that my prayers are with you and your wife, and I dearly hope she returns to you safe and unharmed. God Bless.

Why We Must Fight — and Now! Wednesday, March 19, 2003 By William J. Bennett Three weekends ago, millions of demonstrators across the globe protested on behalf of "human rights." Their marches, slogans, placards and speeches did not declaim against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, did not cite the human rights reports detailing his tyranny and torture, did not take account the plaints of Iraqis fortunate enough to live in exile. Rather, they protested the U.S. and the U.K. and their efforts to topple Saddam and liberate Iraq. Now, we are seeing more television advertisement
