War is immenent

Civilian · 2003-03-05, 10:04 PM

As one of my new resolutions, I have decided to be an impartial reporter. Therefore, as part of this new resolution, I refuse to get involved in any war/anti-war discussions. But this is important, because this signals that a war may be no more thank weeks away.

The first sign is the "expelling" of Iraqi diplomats from the United States, which occured today. Here is a short blurb about it:

And the second is from the NYT, but Drudge as a bit of an early exclusive, which is located here:

http://www.drudgereport.com/bush.htm

It basically says President Bush was/is going to make a decision on whether the US will go forward with war plans, and that a definitive decision would be made tomorrow. As part of this decision, a speech is being prepared in which Saddam will be given a deadline to disarm, if he does not meet this deadline we could be prepared to attack within 48-72 hours after the deadline:

Plans for a major speech on Iraq next week by the president were under review. Bush might give Saddam a very short time period to disarm completely, perhaps as little as 72 hours, before military action... Officials said a number of options for fighting were now ready... Military officials said the president had been told that an attack against Iraq could be carried out within the next several days, the NEW YORK TIMES is reporting in its Page One lead on Thursday... Developing...

And as many of you know, the deployment of 250,000 troops in the middle east was completed this past weekend.

If you are a praying person, I would recommend praying for peace, but also pray for our soldiers and innocent Iraqis that will pay the ultimate price.

I almost posted the Drudge thing a few times and thought better of it a few times. We'll know soon enough. It's a dark day regardless of your war stance.

Yes. It is. Let's all hope for the best.

Yeah what ever happens it isnt going to be good

Headrattle · 2003-03-05, 10:18 PM

yeah, this sucks.
Make me kinda wish I didn't leave the military.
Not because I am a war monger. Not because I am for the war or want to see some action.
But because I still have so many friends in the military and I want to make sure they make it out ok.

Kinda hard to explain.

Don't pray that we don't attack, or for the "innocent" Iraqis. Thats the wrong angle.

Pray instead that Saddam does what he's supposed to have done for the last 12 years, get rid of all his WMD.

That he leave sthe country...

Or better, that some harem girl of his slices his pecker off..

Touche' Mtx. Touche'.

SandTrout · 2003-03-05, 11:24 PM

We are going to war, I've known this for several months. The only questions there has been is "When?"

We are going to war very soon, there are more missions flying over the no-fly zones takeing out mobile missle sites on sight. I wouldn't be supprised if the morning news is about the war on Iraq tommorow.

I pray to whatever gods there may be for our millitary in and near Iraq.

I'm trying but you keep pulling back.

Don't be like that. Just relax.. this'll only hurt for a little while.

Bighoss · 2003-03-06, 12:00 AM

bah we're gonna help Iraq by bombing them that does the demolition for them then they rebuild from there. That's the problem with these countries when you bomb them there like THANK YOU FOR THIS UPGRADE

Another political debate thread

Confectrix · 2003-03-06, 06:59 AM

Squeek, come one man, you have to admit the best topics are on politics and religion.

Here's an idea. Don't read anything political. That way, what you don't see won't bother you.

I know, I'm being a smartass.

Hall�le MrVicchio

now i don�t wonder, u must be a ***..... *rotfl*
.... with your political opinions.

Could it be, that u think Sharon is a good man?
And do u think the only killers are the Palestinian Suicidekillers and not the Isreal Military?

Here something about your position in the world:
