QUOTE (Spivey @ Sep 28 2006, 06:50 PM) I don't care if you believe the war was not about oil. But if you think it was about WMDs, you are a complete and utter idiot. just as ignorant as saying it was about oil |

QUOTE (Testm0nkey @ Sep 28 2006, 06:51 PM) so say he had them in the 80s and got rid of them after the gulf war. that still makes the invasion reasonable? the idea of he had them at some point so go to war about it is completely ridiculous im not talking about before the gulf war, obviously im talking about after |

QUOTE (Jessica @ Sep 28 2006, 06:49 PM) to say that he didnt have WMD's is as ignorant as saying he did NO ONE FUCKING KNOWS because if he did he had ample time in which to move them/sell them "We don't know if he had WMDs" isn't a very good reason to go to war.

oil runs the whole world. we are totally tied and dependent on it as is every other country except maybe sweden and france. america would be stupid to not care about what happens in the middle east and the oil fields being a main concern. they should have just right out admitted they were looking out for the american economy
so we can invade a country on the idea that they may have had weapsons 15 yrs ago? what -------------------- Little monkeys making money

this is a discussion, posting back and forth makes a discussion. if the idea of no one knows for sure so nothing matters this place would be totally boring

the intelligence was faulty. they already admitted that. they should have done a better job before starting war. but they did a pretty good job cleaning house
