Iraq - Disarm - Show Your Arms - War? - Page 10

I was just thinking about why the US is always able to attack another country at their 'convenience'. It is because of the lack of good sea warships and aircraft. Let's look at Iraq... one has to wonder why they concentrate so much on ground forces and not on air force or navy. I think the Middle East has to awaken to using technology rather than muscle if they want to ever stand a chance. On the other hand, I am sure it is easier to build checmical weapons, and play dirty.

From Deseret News:

EDITORIAL: DON'T WINK AT RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Writing about religion, Alexis de Tocqueville said the difference between France
and the United States is that France has two religions and thousands of sauces,
while America has two sauces and thousands of religions.

MOST IN POLL BACK A WAR AGAINST IRAQ
President Bush has managed to rally public support for a war with Iraq, a new
poll says, even though most Americans say the administration hasn't said enough
about the reasons for war.

JB,
You got it right.
The USA has gone to great lengths to build, first, the greatest naval fleet the world has ever seen, and equipped it with the latest technology available.

The various branches are highly competetive, just like our business, so the Air Force has done the same. We have amassed an array of aircraft that staggers the imagination.

The Army has done the same thing. I venture to say that our ground forces could whip any standing army on the planet, including China.

Therefore, we can indeed, do things pretty much at our convenience.

Lucky for the rest of the world we are not as they constantly accuse us of being.

If we really were the aggressors we are accused of being, no one would be making those statements, because they would be colonies of the US.

Well that is left to be seen since we are yet to see the chinese in serious military action.

The British made that mistake and the US is not going to make the same mistake again, but were it not for the British history I feel that the US would try to colonize countries in the name of 'peace', 'betterment', or whatever else.

IMO, sometimes I cannot believe americans can be so 'naive'. I mean it's okay to love your country I think is great but to believe that just because you don't have colonies of the US all around you're not  an 'agressor' is far away from the reality.
The difference between a normal agressor and the USA is that the normal agressor will bomb and try to invade a country for the whole purpose of dominate such country but the USA comes with sheep clothes trying to CHANGE something they don't have  any business or voice in! and all in the name of the 'worldwide' peace. Pleaseee! : : : : It's desgusting!!!!!

I did not know that some US soldiers were caught. I wonder if their experiences were documented.

From ABC News:

As America prepares for battle
in Iraq once again, Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross talks
with POWs from the first Gulf War. Twenty-one Americans were taken
prisoner by Saddam Hussein's army and held in the so-called Baghdad
Biltmore by the Iraqi secret police. Their stories of being tortured and
beaten have a new relevance now.

Wow, here is another possibility we have not discussed. I wonder if Saddam will try to pull it off.

From ABCNews:

...his new level of concern about Iraq is caused by an
accumulation of intelligence including troubling new
details that focus on three areas:

   Specific new evidence indicates that Iraqi activity in
the Western desert shows the strong likelihood Scud
missiles are hidden there. These missiles could easily
reach Israel carrying chemical or biological warheads
which could draw Israel into any war.

   Detailed new intelligence from the southern Iraqi oil
fields shows that many of the 700 wells have now been
wired with explosives. These explosives appear to be
connected to a central command post, so Saddam
could easily set the wells ablaze.

   Near the border with Kuwait, where 135,000 U.S.
troops are now stationed, recent surveillance indicates
Iraqi artillery batteries have been moved dangerously
close. The artillery is capable of firing shells filled with
poison gas.
