[412driver]

the UN helicopters had their war insurance cancelled and flew to cyprus via syria.


boys are all out safe.

Good News, glad they made some money, and Glad they're all out and safe. I expect it won't be too long until the bombs start falling, maybe tomorrow or ?????

 

[412driver]

gonna be soon now........

 

[gannet]

My bet is that they wait for around the time of the new moon. They have the good goggles and the Iraqis don''t. May as well have as much advantage as possible.

Could someone explain to me again, how glassing-over a Muslim country is going to halt terrorism at home? I just hope they know something we don''t.

 

[VERTICAL REF]

...war insurance cancelled, yea right...thats a good one!

since time immoral,every time there is a war people die! things are going to get a lot worse before they get any better. as CTD said -may all the secrets be revealed, if not there will be hell to pay...

There's one thing for sure. If Saddam uses chemical or biological weapons on the Americans he will have proved Messrs. Blair and Bush correct and himself a liar. IF such should happen, then in all fairness, I would hope that as much 'hoopla' will be made of them being correct as there has being during the 'lead-up'. We'll soon see.

I notice Chretin stated that no exchange personnel with the American Forces will be in a combat role. That's very interesting, because there are five members of JTF-2 with the Special Forces. One of them is the son of my next door neighbour and he hasn't had a phone call from him in two weeks. You don't suppose Chretin and McCallum would lie?.....nahhhhhh.

CTD, they won''t halt terrorism, in fact they expect to increase it. The media and the spin doctors have unfortunately tied this to the war on terrorism, but this is a seperate issue. Yes Bush was using the public hype against terrorism and loose ties to terrorist networks to generate support, but the real issue lies elsewhere.

Some guy has a huge military, WMD, invades a neighboring nation, gets attacked, defeated and then avoids war crime trials and ousting by weak UN actions that include demanding losing the WMD and being open to inspection. 12 years later hasn''t happened. Finally someone talks tough. little bit happens. Based on reputation this man should not hold the power he does. His people don''t get to oust him. The global community chooses to give him ''a few'' chances. He uses them and still doesn''t submit.

Not saying here that war is the answer, but if it''s not I don''t know what it will take. Waiting is an answer, but it''s already been tried (12 yrs).

If anyone hasn''t seen enough on TV, CBC broadcast a documentary on Iraq and what has happened over the past 10-15 yrs to bring things to this point - it is very interesting and as unbiased as I have seen. Goes into the US siding with Iraq during the Iran war, as well as the French, Russian and German economic interests in Iraq that would make them want to avert anything to disrupt the flow of $$ coming their way. Doesn''t say who is right or wrong, but informs.

Saddam made the list of the world''s billionaires, so I am sure he can afford a townhouse in Toronto and an immigration lawyer. I am sure Canada Immigration will give him and his sons a fair hearing as refugees from US oppresion - sorry had to throw that in....

Hope it''s short and for everyones'' sake

as many of you, i myself am not in favour of war BUT, i also realize that saddam hussien is a monster that needs to go. did we forget the gas attacks 15 years ago? that wasn''t a military "action" it was women and children in their homes. that psycho has killed hundreds of thousands of people and he sits in the ranks of the hitlers and stalins of this world. the outcome of this war will be quick and you will see iraqi''s surrendering in droves and the truths of that madman will come out when he is gone. then we will be in for a shock. then again, human nature forgets rather quickly.........

The expression, "oh ya, well the US gave Saddam all these weapons for use against his enemies", always gives me a chuckle. Canada, the US and England did the same for Joseph Stalin during WW2 and some of the aircraft were ferried through Canada. Good Canadian sailors gave their lives trying to get weapons into Murmansk, Russia for 'uncle' Joe also. Joseph Stalin murdered 20,000,000 of his own people. My Mom flew aircraft for Ferry Command, so I guess that made her a supporter of Joe Stalin, Communism and she indirectly aided him in the murder of the 20M. Never ceases to amaze me how people forget history.

I agree 100% with 412 & cap the US (CIA)should have taken care of Saddam years ago the big tragety with the war is the innocent civilians who will die.

There's a member of the JTF-2 from Newfie, that has the record in Afghanistan, for distance taking out a target....2760 yds. with a $1.65 shell. That's the way to do it and then George II could have saved his $290B USD that the war will supposedly cost. Wonder if Chretin would have supported that and 'loaned out' the Newfie?

CAP - That would be a very tough shot - was that with a .50 cal sniper rifle??
