Strike on Iraq
According to CNN and various other news sources, Iraq is now under attack by
the US. Here is a link to the current story running at CNN right now, but there's really not much except that it has started. CT Cruise missiles launched against "Target of Opportunity". The full assault has not begun. CT The attack was specifically intended to take out Saddam. CT Saddam appeared on iraqi TV to condemn the US, and Iraqi missiles have been fired at Kuwait.
i'm looking forward to the draft, whos with me?
I think huge bombs exploding will produce a sufficient psychological effect...
Oh wait, I'm already in the Marines. Dohhh!
This guy is way out there

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.
It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me,
'Cos it's all the proof I need to
Bomb Iraq.
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
(And he tried to kill your dad),
Bomb Iraq.
If your corp'rate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.
Hmmmm. Space Shuttle blows up . . . A Bush in office. . . . War in Iraq . . . Did we go back in time? Hmmm. Early 90's - what's next - the return of grunge?
Right. This is war - let's slashdot their websites.
I heard that too. Perhaps they calculated they'd beat American Idol in ratings tonite?
Why yes. the threat of Japanese Kamakazi pilots is just as great now as it was in 1943. And those damned Nazis spreading hate all over Europe for the last 50 years, what will we do?
And how long, I wonder, before the next dictator and his thugs are in place.
Actually, Bush is likely to lose re-election at this point.
May we never see th
Let it go, son. You'll feel better once you get over it. Gore would have wet his pants and cried for mommy 2 minutes after 9/11 anyway.

I didn't know dead people could speak.
Well, then again..Dead people can vote in America, so I guess anything is possible.
Ya know, I think I prefered Dubbya when he was a cocain snorting, alcholic, boardroom fraudster. Oh for the good ol' days...

You know, it's people like you with defeatist attitudes like that who drag this country down.
Instead of complaining that something's "hard", or "impossible", or "unthinkable", why not set some goals, roll up your shirt-sleeves, and get to work?! If we all pull together and work honestly and hard at it, you'd be surprised at what we could accomplish! I'll bet we could kill every single person on the face of the earth in, say, six months tops.

"America needs another Churchill"
When did we have the first one?
There are no gods but ourselves.
Rumsfeld: "Woohoo, we now have 35 countries supporting us. Guess it's not that bad after all. Bam Bam Saddamn!!!"
Bush: "Let me re-count to make sure: United States, Great Britain, Spain, Bulgaria, USA, Etats-Unis, Espagne, Angleterre, Royuamme Uni, UK, Texas, United Kingdom, Great Britain, oh wait I already counted that one..."
In related news, there was an apparent attack on Iraqi government servers this evening after a link to their website was posted on slashdot.org. No reports as of yet as to if this was an official government decision part of the American "bombing" campaign.

Didnt this already happen a few years back? Bloody Taco and his dupes!
- Between Saddam Hussein and George Bush, Hussein is the bad guy.
- If you happen to have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind. They have Libia heading the committee on Human Rights and Iraq is heading the global disarmament committee.
- If you use Google search and type in ''French Military Victories'' your reply will be ''did you mean French Military Defeats?''
- If your only anti-war slogan is ''No War For Oil'' sue your school district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the education you deserved.
- Saddam Hussein and bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.
- Despite common belief, Martin Sheen is not the President, he plays one on TV.
- Even if you are anti-war, you are still an infidel and bin Laden wants you dead too.
- If you believe in a vast right wing conspiracy but not in the dangers that Hussein possesses, quit hanging out with the Dell Computer dude.
- We are not trying to liberate them. (Howard disagreed with this one and Robin said perhaps it was a typo)
- Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.
That's it. Caveat emptor. Oh, and quite frankly, Mike Moore is a dick. He can be very funny, but he's a real asshole if you ever meet him in person. I hear the same about Miller, but Moore is a communist, so that makes him worse!Having seen a few criticisms from American officials regarding other nation's opposition to the war, I was reminded of a few word's Rick Mercer had to say on 'This hour has 22 minutes'. I present this not to criticize America, but in hopes of lightening the mood a little:
On behalf of Canadians everywhere I'd like to offer an apology to the United States of America. We haven't been getting along very well recently and for that, I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry we called George Bush a moron. He is a moron but, it wasn't nice of us to point it out. If it's any consolation, the fact that he's a moron shouldn't reflect poorly on the people of America. After all it's not like you actually elected him.
I'm sorry about our softwood lumber. Just because we have more trees than you doesn't give us the right to sell you lumber that's cheaper and better than your own.
I'm sorry we beat you in Olympic hockey. In our defense I guess our excuse would be that our team was much, much, much, much better than yours.
I'm sorry we burnt down your White House during the War of 1812. I notice you've rebuilt it! It's very nice. I'm sorry about your beer. I know we had nothing to do with your beer but, we feel your pain.
I'm sorry about our waffling on Iraq. I mean, when you're going up against a crazed dictator, you wanna have your friends by your side. I realize it took more than two years before you guys pitched in against Hitler, but that was different. Everyone knew he had weapons.
And finally on behalf of all Canadians, I'm sorry that we're constantly apologizing for things in a passive-aggressive way which is really a thinly veiled criticism. I sincerely hope that you're not upset over this - We've seen what you do to countries you get upset with.
Thank you.
