Whatever happened to Regime change??

[Jabo 69]

Is President Bush beginning to show signs of weakness??? Right after 911 he ranted constantly about " regime change " in Iraq..
Lately he hasn't mentioned it...Leaving Saddam in place was the monumental blunder his Daddy made. Surely, he won't make the same horrendous mistake..I wonder........


~~~JABO~~~

I wonder why, when he vowed to bring in Osama "dead or alive", we have no Osama.

Apparently, Dubya thought bin Laden was piloting the Wellstone plane.

The very day you start a thread like this is the day that Bush won an overwhelming victory against the UN as France and Russia collapsed and even Syria voted against Saddam. Please keep up on world events.

Please also make mental note to yourself. Osama dead, but his side won't admit it, the American Left won't admit it, the World Press won't admit it, and without a body (hidden well by his followers for the VERY obvious reason) the Administration won't admit it. The fact that they DID move on to the next bad guy speaks volumes if, and only if, you are willing to read the many, many conflicting stories about Osama's whereabouts with a grain of salt.

Bowing to pressure from the rest of the world George has now said that Saddam giving up his 'weapons of mass destruction' (God I hate that fucking phrase) would constitute a change in regime...

Go figure.

Saddam won't comply in any way shape or form because a lot like Der Fuhrer, he has surrounded himself with people who are telling him what he wants to hear. The Americans are weak. They will run from the blood and carnage caused by our crack troops who are JUST FULL of moral and eager to get at the enemy and get on with it so defy the GREAT SATAN for the good of Iraq, defy them, by the way, sir, how is my family, do they miss me living all alone in that big palace of yours...

They'll still be saying that long after every man jack has surrendered and the new American bombs that killed fawking Osama up at Tora Bora start chewing away at the top levels of his bunkers...

GAWD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE...

Do you have any idea why the United States didn't go after Hussein himself after the Gulf War?

 

[Andra_Jenny]

Because the "world commie-unity" was having a collective cow over the power vacuum that could be exploited by Jimmy Carter's Brave New Iran...

 

[JazzManJim]

Nope. It's even more simple than that.

Hhhhmmmmmmmmmm . . . do I note a certain similarity with the Christian story here??? you know, one dead man having an effect on world history 2,000 years after the event . . . Usama bin Laden appears to have quite a shelf life ahead of him . . . dead or alive . . .

After all, it doesn't suit the alleged terrorists to acknowledge the supposed death of Usama bin Laden, former gun runner for the CIA and recruiter for the anti-Russian Chechnyan campaign . . .

. . . and it even less suits the US Dubyah Shrub regime to acknowledge the death of Usama bin Laden because then they would have no excuse for expending old US ordnance to clear the mountains to make way for the Bush family pipeline to bring the Cenral Asian oil and gas reserves to your friendly and very wasteful US energy market . . .

As many posts on other threads have clearly demonstrated, the US-Iraq War has nothing to do with nuclear weapons of mass destruction . . . China, France, Russia, Britain all have them, North Korea has them . . . BUT only Iraq has 20% of the undeveloped world oil reserves . . . so obviously the Iraqis have to be painted as the bad guys, because US national oil reserves, as a depleting resource, are demonstrably declining, and until last Tuesday, the possibility of opening up the Alaskan fields was politically doubtful . . .

Even so, a pre-emptive stike on Iraq is necessary because in response to the US Embargo, Iraq has been doing oil supply deals with Russia, France and China, cutting out the US and the American oil corporations are missing out on profits . . .

. . . and it is considered unAmerican to miss out on profits . . .
