First of all,
Thank you sailpappy for serving my country, even in a BS Conflict that you were destined to lose, and thank you to all the VETS who served, in war and peace.
I remember the outrage that this country felt when 9-11 happened, and now I see too many people forgetting the horror of that day, concerned with gas prices and how other countries will feel. We live in the greatest country that has ever existed on this planet, and we take that great gift and forget the responsibility that comes with it. Like it or not, we have fallen into the role of policing the world and it is our job, or nobodies, to bring an end to dictators like Saddham and Terrorism.
We need to stop letting Israel take all this heat for defending themselves, which is exactly what we are doing. That makes us look like big bullies who only care about ourselves, and we need to use Special Forces, and the CIA, to take out that dictator, work with Jordon, and stand up a leadership that will serve our purposes,
We need to stop being so concerned with oil prices and the ecology of our natural resources. We have more oil under the Gulf of Mexico than all the Middle East nations combined. The forest need to be harvested so huge forest fires can be avoided, and we need Doctors will backbones that will prescribe medications because they work, and not because they are getting a cut from the Pharmacy Rep who tells them to prescribe the new, expensive crap that does nothing but give you side effects that you need to go back to the doc for to get more expensive crap to counter act!
(Man, I wonder where my thoughts are)
Anyway, God bless you all, and especially, all you VETS, and remember what Tomas Jefferson said, “Without the shedding of blood, there is no freedom”

LOL Rick. That's a rather bland and s.h.eepish opinion, don't you think? I don't think many here have called for the eternal damnation of all souls who fight on either side.

Now, now Ted if I wrote that you would have thought it was nice... (referring to rick's comment)
I agree with Ted something has to be done... but this stuff scares me. I would preferr that CNN stop warning and telling our enemies that "We're coming and how we are going to do it and when".
I also agree with jonny (imagine that) dont they have an IRAQ message board to argue this one on... I hate when you guys get all passionate about war and politics. I know ... SHUT UP REE

Ted--you remind me of Jack Nicholson from 'A Few good Men'--"You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall..."
Jonny--glad to read you are still the same, my friend. Believe it or not, sometimes some of us discuss other topics not related to CH's. LOL.
SailPappy--Have I said 'Thanks" to you lately? Thank you for doing what so few have been asked, many more these days refuse, and returned safely to tell us about it.
Jimbo--IMHO, you are right on target.
Scotty_Dog--"We need to stop being so concerned with ...the ecology of our natural resources" Wow!

1st off, I think jonny showed great restraint ( for him) 
and clever subtleness in his post. I started to write a post along the same lines but gave up due to that damn internal server error message.
Think about it... If everyone started to post their views on world events, religion, political affiliation, sexual orientation ( ok, maybe that's ok  ), this board would be inundated with BS that has absolutely nothing to do with Clusters....!
I'm sorry, if I wanted to rant on these subjects, I would go to a MB that caters to them, at least the people there are knowlegeable and passionate on that subject enough to be there!
When I log on in here, I could give a fuck about Iraq, and I'm sure most, if not all, could give a rat's ass what my thoughts are, on Iraq!
but, hey, then again..that's just me!

This thread reminds me of something someone told me a long time ago, and that I've decided to adopt for myself... I don't discuss religion or politics with my friends, because I have lost too many friends that way.

Ted,
Not at all. My personal opinions have already been expressed by others who have already posted on this thread, there really isn't much for me to say.
And I didn't state that anyone was calling for the damnation of souls. You are reading a little to deeply into a very simple statement. There are a tremendous number of lives which are about to be lost on both sides of the conflict, primarily many innocents on the other side. That is tragic from a human perspective any way you look at it. I do agree that taking out Saddam is a better option than watching the city I live in be transformed into a large non-hallucinogenic mushroom.
So again, I wish for peace for all the souls that are about to be lost on both sides, as well as for all those lost on Sept. 11th, and for all those killed in Afghanistan.
Have a good one,
-Rick

Man, you all. Calm down. I would have figured my starting it out by writing "LOL" would have been a BIG clue that I was only joking around.

Going after Saddam is inevitable. Whether it be on our own preemptive terms, or his terms (use of bio-chem weapons), or his use of nukes. The isolationists can have it their way, in which case we're talking option 2. But let's face it, if this camel jockey uses nukes, he does it once only - and we won't allow Israel to respond in kind - we'll do it for them using tac-nukes that will not only take him out but also his infrastructure. Saddam's use of strategic nuclear weapons won't be a unifying force in Arab/Islamic world, but will provide his neighbors and the West the necessary reason to hunt him down like the rabid dog he is. This is no Afghanny guerilla hunt - Saddam couldn't survive a week in caves of Tora Bora; too much elitist pampering.
Pay now - pay later, why procrastinate!!!!

Getting there is half the fun. We're working at it. It would be nice if that were all it took. Unfortunately, this guy is a nut and not like the Russians. He has nowhere to go and it's up to the West to hurry him along before he takes too many more with him.
It would be nice if this were enough. Unfortunately these guys never seem to go away for good. We are the good guys. That we spend time worrying about it is evidence of this.
Sorry Jonny. I was compelled to keep this going.
That mean old Charlie

Sounds like a Dubya/Texan/Bush plan to me: runs in the family....Warrus Interruptus...... kick a little ass, leave the head... why oh why did they stop short of Baghdad?
IMNSHO........just invade SWITZERLAND...(leave Ueli alone tho....) and we'll have most these bastidges by the short and curlies (read bankroll).... where it hurts the worst...... might as well get the Caymans while we're at it.....i think that's where BobP stashed the OUCH money

A little up-date to ScottyDog.
We did not lose the Vietnam war. In 1972 the war effort was turned over to the South Vietnamese to do battle. At that time the US pulled out the troops.
Saigon fell in 1975. The American forces were not there.
It's hard to lose a war when you're not there.
The "We lost the war" mentality is only in the minds of the anti-war freaks that refuse to read history and gather facts.
