Iraq War

[Balloon guy 158]

Saddam lit up hunderds of oil fires just to spite the international community at the end of Gulf War 1.This was probably the single greatest act of terrorism on the world itself ever committed in terms of sheer pollution and destruction of our climate.He deserved getting invaded just for that alone, that...mass destruction he created by burning 600-700 oil wells and it took more than 8 months to extinguish them all.The protection of our environment is too important to let this go unpunished.http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/gulf.war/...ment/index.html

Too much of a stretch?Yea.. I think I may have stretched that one a bit.

[Muck, You Suckers! 0]

Oh but Balloon Guy. As I said in an ear;ier post. He deserved to be hung for that there is no doubt in my mind.Amongst many other things. Getting him gone was the right thing. Weapons or no weapons.

ok.

I think that's a bit of a stretch, but other than that I think you've made a good point.

yeah a little....I'd go with the 2 dozen or so UN violations and mass genocide

Oh no, not this again...

i would have drooped the floor below him myself had I been given the opportunity

So, wait... when we invaded him last time he burned oil fields and caused a huge natural disaster......so therefore we should invade him again...?If we're working in the model where all we care about is the environment, then invading him again and risking him burning the fields again is obviously the wrong thing to do.

You fell into my cleverly laid trap Bush ran this war correctly at the onset because he, along with Rumsfeld and Tommy Franks, put into the war plan the means to protect the oil fields from this environmental disaster.He had special forces troops go in at the onset, kill the iraqis who's job it was to set off the already laid bombs and they then protected the oil fields until the tanks could arrive.So Bush got the bad guy, AND saved the environment.And his decision to lean heavily on small fast acting special forces troops instead of large divisions of tanks etc is the reason why bone heads try to say he didn't have enough troops in the beginning, even though he defeated the Iraqi army in like what 3 weeks.I love it when a plan comes together

Don't worry Yorke, he won't be burning anymore oil fields.

Poor Daniel. He claims to believe in God in his blog, and what does he get? Neo-Con after Neo-Con spamming up his forum with purile gibberish. The only thing that Daniel has in common with the rest of you God-fearing, super-conservatives is that he is a man of religious conviction. He is a liberal in many other ways; his blog makes that clear. I get the impression that there are a lot of very non-liberal posters around here. Daniel would be disgusted.And balloon man, Bush may have stopped the Iraqis from burning their oil fields, but how you can then go on to say that he 'saved the environment' is utterly ridiculous. Read Daniel's blog. Bush and the current American administration are part of the environmental crisis that the planet is facing. It is the Bush administration's lack of understanding concerning this problem that is stopping any real environmental reform from taking place in America. Your comments are so incredibly short-sighted and ill-informed, you should be embarrassed by your complete lack of understanding concerning the matter. I hope Daniel comes in here and tells you wackos to go and talk your nonsense elsewhere.

UHHH because I was using only the reference to the Iraqi war and not the entire existance of man as my backdrop for the point.Last I checked Bush didn't invent carsI think the Gore for President 2008 bus just left. If you run I think you can still catch it. Hopefully it is battery powered and will need to stop for a re-charge in about 120 miles so you can still catch it. No fair using a fossil fuel driven car to do it though.

To suggest that Bush has in any way 'saved the environment' and not notice the irony in that statement would be tremendously amusing if were not so tragic. So Bush stopped some oil fields from burning a few million barrels of oil. Whoopie-Doo. Now if he would stop burying his head in the sand like a demented ostrich and listen to the world's most distinguished scientists when they say that America is the world's foremost polluting country, the rest of us who aren't complete imbeciles may start to afford him the respect that you so questionably do.

Last I checked Bush didn't invent cars

No, but he is the president of the most powerful nation on Earth, and if he wanted to do something about the deepening environmental crisis, he could. But he won't. Why? Who knows. Maybe he's a complete idiot.

Luckily, I am not American and I do not have to share my country with ignoramuses like you who do not understand the world's ills.

I'm not sure where you're from, but I'm sure that the stupid people in your country are just as stupid as the stupid people in America, thank you very much. Though the stupid people in your country probably just don't get as much attention as they do in America. What can I say, stupid sells.

Oh, the stupid people here in Britain are tremendously stupid and very, very vocal. The difference is that our idiots tend to be secular idiots, and don't try and infringe upon the rights of their fellow citizens, unlike your very American brand of idiot.

Your idiot people don't infringe on rights? Britain has one of the highest violent crime rates in the world. Your crime rate is well over and above that in the U.S. You are so full of BS. I am asouthern american and I will sleep well tonight knowing that I have the right to protect my home. My government didn't take our guns from us and take away our right to protect ourselves. Your government did and ever since your crime rate has been on the rise. In my opinion you have a whole country of stupid people and we never should have saved your ignorant @$$e$ from Hitler.

Yeah, thanks for that. Next time though, could you try not being three years late?

You only have your liberal friend Neville Chamberlain to blame for that. Had you not have had Winston Churchill and the U.S. you'd be typing in German right now.

It's Neville Chamberlain's fault that America sat on her hands for three years whilst Europe was being obliterated, and only joined the battle when she herself was attacked? What strange logic you employ.

It's not up to us to take care of you. It's your responsibility to take care of yourselves. We were providing you supplies and food through lend lease. You know fella, the day is gonna come when you are going to need us again. So you just keep bashing the people of the U.S. (southern or otherwise). People here in the U.S. will decide if we want to help or not. Our government can't do anything without the support of the people. Maybe next time we won't come at all. Probably shouldn't.

May I please be the first to suggest a BalloonGuy/Muck, You Suckers ticket for '08? It's can't possibly be much worse than the soon-to-be Clinton/Obama ticket.
