Boo-hoo, Al Jazeera hit with DDOS attacks. Yahoo! News
I love the idea of a sweaty Iraqi IT guy pulling his hair out.

And here's an article with information on how to send troops email, care packages, and long-distance phone cards:

Did you hear the Iraqi guy whining to the U.N. today? Then he say's something like, We won't meet the agressors in Baghdad with candies we'll meet them with bullets! Ya, Why would he think we'd expect any different treatment than they dole out to their own citizens? That's ok, our GI's will pass out the candies to your citizens after we kick (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) your old ass!

that UN guy is really annoying. I like how he said the US had already killed 2000 civilians, yet we've got surgical teams in the field sewing up more iraqi's than coalition forces. that guy needs a tomahawk missle directed to his living room.

[Brad Roberts]

And people are protesting this war.... I dont get it.


"General: Iraqis hang woman for waving to coalition troops"

The Marine general said that what has surprised him most about the first week of fighting is the extent of war crimes carried out by the Iraqi regime. In addition to the execution of POWs, he said, Iraqis have used civilians as human shields, stored weapons in schools, set up command posts in hospitals and pretended to surrender only to open fire.

In one case, an Iraqi woman was hanged after she waved to coalition forces, Pace said.


Now tell me why we shouldnt be there ???

We have support/food/water being delivered to Iraqi people (who are fighting each other to be fed) and they are SHOOTING US soldiers who are surrending when caught ???

I especially like how iraqi fighters are now driving vehicles made to look like the red cross. I'm sorry, but the coalition needs to pick up the pace and start making this a little more ugly for them. we are way too nice in all this.

did anyone else see the iraqi fighters with the machine gun mounted in the bed of a PINK late model japanese pickup truck, complete with NYPD bumper sticker and all??

[campbellcj]

I also heard today that, according to Amnesty International (probably some of the people who are now protesting the war) and other sources, as many as 2 MILLION Iraqi's and Kurdish have gone "missing" in about the last 30 years. In other words, government sanctioned kidnapping, torture and genocide. There are supposedly documented cases where Saddam's people gassed or shot 100K's of their own citizens because they were opposed to his government. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)

Thanks to Digital cable I can watch NON American war reports and feel that I'm getting a different view on this whole thing. So far I have not seen a reason why we shouldnt be there.

I HIGHYLY suggest people reading this thread watch a Discovery channel documentory called: "Searching For". It tracks a US reporter in the middle east after 9/11. He reports on the roots of "Muslim Rage" and why they hate us so bad. Good Good TV.

I admit that its hard not to pay attention, but iIts nice to see that you are all folowing what we are doing in Iraq. When I was in Sand Deigo I had to walk through war protests every now and then, and that was before it started. I dont know what kind of world these people think we live in that they want us to stand by and watch the injustices happen, not to mention the bio/chem weapons this man has. Its nice to see some support from back home. Just thought I'd let you know that although it wont be over in the short time the media portrayed, it is going well. Thanks again....

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Where were all these thousands of protestors during 9/11? You can bet your ass they weren't in there helping find people covered by the rubble.
And what would they do if a terrorist came into their house? Roll over and wave their ass in the air with a sign saying "fuck me please but be gentle"!!! Yes, it is their right to freedom of speech but there's a line that needs to be drawn and, I feel, if they step over it they should be delt with in the most harshest manner. Send them to the sand country to observe the tactics of the Iraqi toward their fellow man. Take out the fire hoses when their protest rallies get un-peaceful and wash 'em down into the gutters where they belong! :gilloutine:

Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world and thier own people are fighting each other for the food we are giving them.

WTF? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

And the wack jobs on the left are protesting the war which will bring help to these people. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

[Brad Roberts]

Cool. A Marine on the list (I think LB is ARMY) NorCal is making me soft. I have been on the fence about this whole thing until I did what Andy told us all to do: and that was "educate yourself about these people before you comment" I have spent the last several weeks reading and watching as much as I could from outside sources (German TV with subtitles) you name it. I knew the USA coverage would be a little jaded so I went after info from outside sources. Mr. Hussein and sons are worse than I ever thought. We are NO saints by any means, but Busch (who has been called Hitler by some Middle East people) has never GASSED a million Americans. I keep hearing OIL OIL OIL OIL.. we are there for the OIL. Bullshit. The UN and OPEC are going to control the amount of OIL flow out of Iraq after WE rebuild the place. The Iraqi people deserve a little better life whether they know it or not. Oil for food. Yeah.. we are terrible people. They shoot us in the head and we perform surgery on their wounded. How does this work ??

The Discovery channel progem spelled out another piece that I was missing. WHY. Why does the middle east hate us so bad ?? Bottome line: They thought they where the shit and they are no longer the shit. They come here to study and go back with hatred and spread it. So stay FUCKING HOME.

You guys missed the one where it is reported that Sadam & his kids have a huge grinder to put their enemies in a grind them up alive. (Think it was BBC)

War protest here last weekend. Some guy drove by with "Support the Troops" signs on the side of his truck. The protesters attacked his truck.

[seanery]

My brother was telling me about a video he saw where Saddam's meanest son (forgot which) would have parties for the Iraqi "in crowd" then they would have citizens -peasants I'm sure- kill themselves in brutal and inhuman ways. The examples he told me of were a guy shoves a sword through his skull-all the way and then the son would parade him around holding him up by his neck until the guy dropped dead. The other 2 he told me of were two swords in the chest, angled in an x going in around the breast area and the other was a sword on the floor point up and they would have to lower themselves onto the point until they died.

This was supposed to be an honor! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif)
FUCK YOU SADDAM!

This made me sick to my stomach, literally, for a couple days. I can't believe any person would make another do this.

I'd be plenty happy if I were the one to be lucky enough to pull the trigger on that bastard. I know I'd lose sleep over it and I know that I'd probably roast in hell for killing another human, but I think it might just be worth it.


God bless our troops!

[SirAndy]

blah blah blah ...

people (like me) that are against the war are NOT pro saddam or anything he stands for.
whoever thinks that way has not evolved beyond 2nd grade.

the problem with this war is the way how the US (once again) acts like it is above and beyond everybody else.
bush ignores international law just as saddam did.
what makes him think he is above international law?
in a speech from early january, bush made the point that iraq needs to
be attacked because they didn't comply with the UN resolution.
which is exactly what he (bush) did when he went to war ignoring all UN resolutions.

humanitarian? yeah, sure sounds good. kill them first, then bring food for those that are left.
liberate them. get rid of the "evil". jada jada jada ...
problem is, if the US's interest was strictly humanitarian, why isn't the US
present in so many other countries around the world that have similar problems as iraq?
why is it that US military action (in the name of humanity) always seems to be bundled
with little perks, like control over middle-east oil flow etc. ...
face it, this war is about economics!

and what does 9/11 have to do with the war on iraq?
it's quite a stretch to accuse anti-war protesters to be "pro" terrorist.
in fact, i think that is pretty fucked-up Mr. "Bruce Allert" ...

so, if i understand you guys right,
everybody who is against this war is against america?
and "left"? and pro terrorist? anti-patriot? scum?

are you guys really that naive? can it be?

[URY914]

Haven't we been over this before?


If not the U.S.A., than who will?
If not now, when?

[tmp914]

I dont think there is anymore "international law" because for the most part the "nations" are only out for themselves ex. france,russia,germany, turkey. like Bush said after 9/11 you are either with us or against us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

[SirAndy]

Haven't we been over this before?
If not the U.S.A., than who will?
If not now, when?

yes, we have -_-

who?
the UN, of course ...

when?
leave that up to the UN ...

why now? the US has looked away from the
regime in iraq for more than 10 years now.
why all the sudden? why now?
why didn't all you guys go to the streets 2 years ago,
demanding that we invade iraq NOW? where were you?
fact is, none of you was giving a damm shit about iraq and how
they were treating their own people. and none of you gives a damm
shit about how other countries around the world torture and kill their own people.
all your talk about "liberating" and "humanitarian" is damm fucking hypocritical ...

alright, i vented, now flames on ...

[SirAndy]

like Bush said after 9/11 you are either with us or against us.

this is even more stupid than saying the war on iraq is "humanitarian".

to answer my own question:

are you guys really that naive? can it be?

it very much looks like it can be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

[URY914]

We get to take care of several problems when we take care of Saddam.
1. We remove the WMD.
2. We allow the oil to flow out of Iraq on to the world markets.
3. We get to do what is right for the people of Iraq.

There are very few countries in the world where you can do all this at once.
Why don't we go into Lower East Bumbly Fuck and free those people from thier goverment? Because we can't do #1 or #2 above.

[SirAndy]

1. We remove the WMD.
2. We allow the oil to flow out of Iraq on to the world markets.
3. We get to do what is right for the people of Iraq.

sounds good, actually.
but why ignoring the UN and the rest of the world?
