NO BLOOD FOR OIL - for fuck's sake, here we go again...
Amazing, after two wars in Iraq/Kuwait and one in Afghanistan, that we would once again be considering military action in order to protect our interests in an oil-rich nation.

I swear, it's like lately we've entered into some Bizarro World.

2. Libya, there are getting ready
to take out their air defenses.

Of course we only attack weak countries who have oil.

4. When was the last time that bombing alone was sufficient?
Didn't work in Panama. Didn't work in Kuwait. Didn't work in Kosovo. Didn't work in Iraq. Didn't work in Afghanistan.

But maybe this time will be different.

7. So you want another Rwanda on your hands
watch them kill a million people and them come in later and arrest the people who did it? The US should not lead this one but the UN has to get involved.

9. I did not say that what we did in Iraq was right
but that is blood on the hands of the republican party and the people who voted for them. I am not one of those people nor will I ever be.

11. Question of the Year...
Edited on Mon Mar-07-11 09:49 PM by AsahinaKimi
WHY do we spend Billions upon billons on Wars, and do nothing towards our infrastructure and the poor people in America?

Do they want us to end up, in the end like the former Soviet Union? Separate nations?

12. We shouldn't even have a military large enough to warrant an intervention debate. nt

14. Just wait until it 'balls to the wall" in Saudi Arabia.
Edited on Mon Mar-07-11 09:52 PM by roamer65
We'll be sending drafted troops by the thousands for the invasion of Saudi Arabia.

That will be the start of World War III.
