MSNBC reports that the Senate approves force against Iraq.

 

[Vinny]

Do not know what time it happened but I received a news email saying the Senate has joined the House in approving this.

 

[cybergirly]

From MSNBC:

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11 — The Senate joined the House on Friday morning in voting solidly to give President Bush the authority to use force against Iraq, approving a resolution endorsed by the president and leaders of both parties.

I was sitting here thinking how this will change the course of my entire life. Then I realized it will change the course of the entire world

fucking americans.

and people wonder why we hate you people.

Oh for goodness sake!
What a stupid thing to say.

I agree

 

[Private Vasquez]

you people.

While it's nice that every citizen gets to be hated, not everyone of us agrees.

 

[LordOfDarkness]

oh yeah?

I bet my fangs, they could not attack Iraq without the UN's approval.

 

[Freya]

fucking americans.

and people wonder why we hate you people.

We dont' hate them. We might not agree with their tactics, and hopefully won't be sending any of our men off in this mess - but I don't appreciate being lumped in to the anti American crap.

 

[Vinny]

Freya well said. Just like not all Arabs are terrorists we as a people should not be labelled as such

I don't hate the Americans. Its the senseless wars that I hate.

Oh for goodness sake!

Agreed..

I think Bush's war pushing is appaling and a pathetic display for a world leader, but as I've always said - hate is a very strong word.

Very uncalled for comments Rose.. if you HATE America so much then why the hell are you doing on a board where the majority of people are American?

And just who the hell is "we"?? Who do you think you can speak for?

You sure as hell can't speak for me.

lets try not to get hung up on technicalities here.
obviously there are americans who dont agree with the proposed military actions forthcoming.
obviously not all canadians hate all americans.

Funny, that's not how you phrased it the first time.
