USA runs for the oil, he runs for the DVD :Graucho

indeed... USA will give Israel 10 billion greens as war damages... here's your tax money.. be proud of your government :1orglaugh

You blame Bush and Congress but not the American people. The American people, depending upon which poll one wants to use, backed Bush and our government by up to 71% in favor of the war. One poll today showed that since the beginning of the war 67% are in favor of the war.

It's not the land they want...

It is still true that most of the world opposes this war and you cannot refute that. You shouldn't also think that most of the world opposes the war because they love Saddam and would not like to see him getting disarmed. USA not working together with UN thus took law in their own hands. Nothing refutes that, either. Of course, I understand that you as an American would hate to see America start an unjustified war and it probably explains your stickittoiveness

Given other president than Bush and we might not necessarily have any wars now.

I hope it'll end soon anyway.

Who Says Canada doesnt support the US?...I wear mine proudly :)

I read that it has been studied that people favor war the most RIGHT after the war starts. Of course people like to support the war their country is in. I cannot search for that article now unless you really insist. But i think we can conclude that result even with some common sense

You will see the support start dropping if we face a longer war and more casualties.

Masses of people are alike everywhere, so if I criticize the way human masses are backing up the decisions of their Great Leaders, then that is not directed to specifically Americans, but to the way our human brain works

I HATE polls! But if you are going to play the numbers game, just saw on CNN, THEIR poll says there has been a slippage since last friday when 53% said the war was going well (what the american people thought), and now it's down to 39%!

Amen and I do geniunly hope that the amount of casualties
will remain as low as possible and that the all the men and
women of the allied forces may return safely.

Those people overthere must be going through hell just like the
Iraqi civilians. They are brave enough to no matter what do their
jobs and how silly it may sound I DO RESPECT THAT

DynaMite :2 cents:

Every single President since the Second World War has engaged our military and I highly suspect that every single future President will do the same.

I guess I'll just have to live with that then

USA is always in war no matter what?

The problem with polls is that they can be, and are, manipulated and I am sure that there are other polls with different numbers. I don't have confidence in the numbers used by any poll. As the conflict continues whatever the numbers are the percentage will continue to drop. Happens in every conflict.

Or I could just think Bush is right this time. That would explain my "stickittoiveness", too.

You may not believe this, and I don't care if you do or not, but I don't support every single thing the US does. This time, I happen to. *shrugs*

Huh, fuck so you knew it.. ?

Still you tried to use some poll numbers for purpose of trying to make me look like I hated American people

:(

Problem with technology is that it wants to reproduce. Gaurding it is like monitoring all the holes in a sponge inside and out. Key components are already made in the former 'Asian Tiger' belt.

The foreign nationals now being harassed and expelled for studying and researching here are welcomed back home. The U.S. technology edge is a bubble which may implode as the brightest minds go home. Foreign armies may lack the most advanced weapons but when they place an order they want the latest thing too if it hasn't been pushed on them already.

Hopefully future U.S. presidents can ameriorate world anger. When the playing field levels that will become a vital skill which this administration sorely lacks.

The US is a belligerant country . From the time of Western to today, and sadely in the future too. They kill themselves in cities, so why not kill less valued humans abroad....

Go GIJoe, GO!

The only thing upsetting is that they always rap it up under a freedom-religious bullshit cover....

And when you DO NOT support some decision that the goverment made, but some other people do, because they have a different view than you, do you then blame and/or hate those people or the goverment?

If you're implying I'm acting that way, doesn't it really seem a bit absurd now?

Well don't keep me in suspence einstein. You gonna trot out the already-shot-to-pieces "it's all about oil" argument?


Let's hear it for the umpteenth time :1orglaugh

you're the most ignorant country in the world...shut up...and take it.

No matter what the poll numbers are. All polls show that the majority of Americans approve of this conflict. It is just that different polls have different percentages. I will repeat that the percentages will drop as the war proceeds.

some of this is accurate but you're still a dink.

You seem to be missing one fundamental point. The first war with iraq has not ended. It was put into a ceasefire mode while saddam had time to comply with UN regulations, which he did not. Now it is back in war mode.

right or wrongas this war may be, at least get the facts straight.

Just straight out then...

Are you saying that I hate American people because I oppose the war?
Yes or No

Because the economy hasn't been so bad in 12 years.

This war is excellent practice for the next country we are going to invade and take control of. :winkwink:

man shut the fuck up...how many of those polls have you participated in...none, and how many people do you know that have....none....hmmm wonder why that is?

Polls sway however the government wants them to....they're bullshit.

Show me facts on "real americans" taking these polls.

Maybe... just MAYBE... that's why I didnt have to say it. If even you guessed it, there's no need to repeat it.

Which is the word you were attempting to use?

you stupid americans have no idea what you're getting involved with. The world's getting tired of you.

Please do NOT make out ALL Americans to be this way.
Quite frankly, even though the Prez has a large poll ranking right now, his support IS soft. And it WAS soft before the war started. But it's very human natured to rally around the boys when a war does start.

Offiically:I'm against the war, but I do support the troops and want them to finish their objective quickly and with the least amount of loss of life & limb to both sides.

Plus, please stop generalizing ALL American history. Our history, as well as yours and other nations' is VERY varied.

keep dreaming sucker.

one day you too will assimilate.

I just saw the same poll. You might want to check your interpretation.

The polls on Monday said that 39% of the people polled thought the invasion was going good. That has nothing to do with support.

I don't think things are going the greatest, but I do pledge full support. The militia is stronger and more willing to die than first expected. That throws a few kinks in the chain, but they will get things straightened out.

Hell, I swear they've been 50 miles to Baghdad since Monday. I would assume the halt is for various reasons: a) storms, b) supply lines need more strength, c) the South needs more stability before pressing on and risking an assault from the various soldiers, and d) new strategies are being thought out to avoid mass civilian casualties.

But what do I know...

The polls are taken by private enterprise.

Dude...he's American....leave him alone. :thumbsup

There's no need to repeat it because it's been dealt with and been blown out of the water from every angle already. The "oil" threads really aren't that hard to locate are they?


I "guessed it" because some people are very predictable.

Like I was saying...shut the fuck up.

WRONG.
Refer to UN Resolution #678, which gives the US and her allies full permission to go into Iraq and use whatever force necessary to rid the country of weapons which violate the UN sanctions placed upon Iraq.
Refer to UN Resolution 687 which gives us continued permission to go into Iraq and continue to use whatever force necessary to keep the country free of weapons which violate the UN sanctions placed upon Iraq.

RESEARCH things - do not just parrot what the stupid French (who have no military intelligence to speak of and who have convenient memories when it comes to things that will disrupt their nice mafia-style "arrangements" with Iraq) have told you.

Just curious

do you think
e) Iraqis are fightling like madman and stay loyal to Saddam

can not really be one of the reasons?

"stupid French"


Do you see the French trying to start a World War....go back to sleep.
