Bush, Peace & 40 tonnes of bombs dropped on Baghdad

[jedimistress]

It makes me so mad.
Who on earth does this meglomaniac think he is kidding?

[Gromit]

A Nobel Peace Prize would be a good way to bow out for the old war mongerer.

RAGGY ROMAN. The question referred to Bush so that is who my answer was about.

Did you know:
Saddam was personally bestowed the highest United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) award for spreading literacy in Iraq.

RAGGY ROMAN

Did you know:

Our leaders regarded Saddam as a friend and ally when he gassed, murdered and tortured tens of thousands of his own countrymen and invaded Iran, and even sold him the weapons.

What is anti western about not condoning war and hypocrisy?

[kwicky]

He is probably counting the bodies. Iraq must be the only major country with a declining population. If Al Queda can't do Bush will finish the job.

I think to refer to peace as you have, one has to be talking about human beings.

Hence the Palestine / Israel peace talks, it is clear the Israelis are infact human.

Northern Ireland peace talks, again it is fair to say Northern Irish protestants are human.

However, life destroyed in Bagdad with the exception of allied force loss, can hardly be called human can it?

Yes the average Baghdadian may resemble a human, may speak some language which is understood by fellow peers and may even have read books, but by all accounts they are not human.

When an animal chooses Islam as his chosen form of evil, I am afraid they can no longer be called human.

If you want to be considered in the same genetic branch as murderous, baby-raping, wife beating, satan-loving, women abusing, animal-bu66erring beasts, then mnore fool you.

Therefore, I will stand up and be vocal in saying muslim life is not liofe as we know it. So how, therefore can Bush be seen bad?

The one billion muslims in the world are worth less tha Oswald, my goldfish.

Bush is the harbinger of peace. His balls to stand up againbst this animal evil will go down in history as the greatest move of modern times.

My only issue is his refusal to bomb civilian targets in the middle east. If they practice this religion, they want to kill the west. The equation is really that simple.

'im sure the bombs you refer to werent dropped deliberatly
on civilians'

'Shock and Awe', began 'Operation Freedom', the war on Iraq. It comprised of two days heavy bombing of Baghdad, a highly populated capital city. 1700 sorties crashing in hundreds of cruise missiles with their 1000 pound warheads.

They were dropped this morning, it made Radio 5 news once as a breaking story then wasn't mentioned again....odd.

I think they were dropped just as Bush was getting up to begin another day of.....peace talks.

It was 40,000 pounds not 40 tonnes I don't much know much about war terminology.

This question is always with me..Why do people describe people as "animals" in a derogatory way? Animals are lovely creatures.

Mr Minter

Will you stop beating about the bush , and say what you really think ?

[fletcher.5]

Bush,is trying to leave a his own US Presedential legacy as in 12 months he will be out of office.The tragedy is, as with many politicians, they consider US to be stupid,
I only hope he reaches Arlington before November 2008

[kempie]

40,000 lbs = 20 US (short) tons or 17.86 Imperial (long) tons.

[fletcher.5]

F----- hell why is this dictator still alive?

[Ice.Maiden]

Well to put the cat amongst the pigeons - wars of any sort horrify me. You'd expect people to've learnt from past mistakes by now. Sadly, most of them are started by men.
