Major Strike on Iraq Underway
The major news sources are reporting that much larger scale attacks are now underway in Iraq. Here is CNNs story. Pentagon officials have confirmed that this is "A-day" for war, presumably the so called "Shock & Awe" mentioned by the White House earlier. In other words, it starts now. Update: 18:01 GMT by CT : Iraq has apparently ordered
CNN out of Baghdad.
Updates as events warrant.
Ahhh yes. This'll also disable all of the Iraqi manbots & fembots...
And just remember all you anti-war types, you're still an infidel that needs to die in the eyes of a militant islamic terrorist.
What happens when we run out of letters to precede -day? I mean we've used 'D' and 'A', so we only have 24 wars left... maybe they will go into AA-Day, AB-Day, etc. Hmmmm, makes you wonder.
I'm going to make a point of driving my SUV down to the steakhouse and having a big helping serving a red meat!
I think everything they show on tv is just war porn.
Shock and Awe... wow. Like it's great to be masculine again for the first time since the 50's. Or are they talking about broadcasting the rape scene out of "Deliverance" to the Iraqis? Seems that would be more appropriate for demonstrating what's in store for them since Vaudville's view of rural peoples hijacked Western Civilization.
Seastead this.
europeans(and the rest of the world too) who hates americans!!
count me on that for sure!
hope someday you get what you deserve!
its funny that you should say this; for some reason the iraqis seem relatively quiet about the whole situation. anyone notice that they haven't got any of their migs in the air? why aren't they fighting back, offering atleast minimal resistance?
what does saddam have up his sleeve that world isn't seeing?
maybe the iraqis are pretending to be the retarded 11 year old, when in fact, they are at best mr wonderful, paul orndorf....oh, wait. i mean bam bam bigelow...no no no, hacksaw ji...
i've got it! the UNDERTAKER.....
(get it? underground bunkers...undertaker!!hahaha)
We're like rats, in some experiment! -- George Costanza
What goes around comes around. Remember that "fellow" Americans.
Yeah, YOU remember THAT you fucking Soddomy Simp!
Hell hath no fury as America, Period!
Still, I hope they bring in a ton of child psychologists with post-traumatic stress disorder experience after this is over. There are going to be many children with very ugly nightmares when this is through.

I just had to get that off my chest.
... by the way america forces its view onto the world, bypassing major treaties (ABM, Tokyo, ...)
...
and it is really awe inspiring to see democracy failing that fast in a land that was our role model for years
There was something in a german newspaper last week describing this accuratly
R.I.P
rolemodel and friend democratic america
after a short and unsuspecting illness, starting with an not really elected son-of-a-president, our friend and rolemodel for 53 years has passed away.
We need to shield ourself against the way how freedom and democracy were erroded so fast and how people were kept in fear of little eastern countries just to justify more and more actions against freedom
Pathetic actions like renaming french fries
Have you forgotten where lady liberty came from? Time to send her home, liberty is now back in europe
You may have your pathetic patriotism and nationalism instead, freedom and liberty you are no longer deserving
1. Invade countries we don't like.
2. ?????
3. Democracy
- Hail to our fearless misleader! Fool speed ahead!
If you're making a case for the war on the second or third day of the conflict, then you and the people with whom you agree, have clearly not made a reasonable case to the public.
apt-get weapons-of-mass-destruction /usr/bin/laden
emerge nukes
make war
need i say more?
you find it insulting?
what i find insulting is the absolute lack of real reporting done by US news outfits. i want the truth, not reazd me a government memo.
and if you think that cnn/msnbc/fox are doing anything except propagandizing you are a fool.
... hi bingo
Just remember, inside of every sand nigger raghead in Iraq is an American trying to get out.
Foxnews is using Skynews feeds. They were using a Skynews feed, when some commentator started lamenting the destruction of the benevolent beloved protectors and nurturers of the Iraqi people, and they cut the audio and started bringing in their own. Just as well. If I'd heard another few seconds of his pro-Sodom crap, I might have tossed a table through the TV.
...and yes, I know that's not how the pervert spells his name. I just think my spelling is more appropriate.
It is better to let me call you a fucking idiot and keep your mouth shut, than open it and prove me right.
Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God, how I love it. - Gen. George Patton
What we really would have appreciated here is if your prime minister would have grown a set and resigned as Bush's poodle so that Dubya's farce of a coalition would lose its last legitimate leg. The UK is literally the only country that gives Dubya's imperialist war the slightest patina of multilateral legitimacy.
Fortunately, the rest of the world doesn't seem fooled. They just haven't gotten around to doing anything about it, yet.
They are so muddy.
Yes there are dead bodies everywhere. Go ask Saddam what he did with the hundreds of thousands he has killed.
I'm sorry, but that is one of the dumbest responses I have ever read. It's pretty obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about, but let me try to help.

if you have one apple, and you destroy that apple, how many apples do you have?
Once again, not even France is claiming to know where all of the weapons are. Hans Blix refers to large amounts of anthrax and Vx that are "unaccounted for." True, we know Saddam did use some against Iran (a number that was greatly inflated in the UN declaration, btw). He also used some chemical weapons against the Kurdish population in northern Iraq. He also destroyed some banned weapons in the presence of inspectors after the Gulf War. But there are a lot more that we just don't know what happened to them.
To put this in perspective, pre-Gulf War estimates were that Iraq had enough Anthrax to kill everybody on the planet 3 times. It is not trivial to destroy Anthrax, and so if it was destroyed, we should be able to easily verify it.
but they still haven't found any evidence to say that iraq still has any of their weapons
The burden of proof was on Saddam to account for the weapons we know he had. Are you suggesting that amid numerous UN resolutions, intense international scrutiny, and weapons inspections, Saddam decided to secretly destroy these weapons without documenting it?
watching the news last night, i didn't hear any reports of iraq firing any weapons at anyone, even though the air raid sirens went off 3 times in kuwait city.
Surprise, surprise. He still has banned missiles.

"The defense of freedom requires the advance of freedom" - George W Bush
This Chinese behavior is really understandable. Just look at the percentage of Chinese in meetings of Amnesty International (AI) at your local university. The percentage is about 0%.
After Iraq, the next step should be invading Tibet.
Read " Lack of Ethics in Chinese Society " to better understand why the Chinese oppose American intervention in Iraq.
Asshole:
I wasn't trying for a one-for-one recreation of the South Park movie joke. It's just a fucking joke. Lighten up, and take the cruise missile out of your ass.
I think the essential elements of the humor are:
(1) Saddam being made into a submissive "catcher" after his world-wide bullying. I call that "irony".
(2) Bush being made into a buggerer in obvious contradiction of his, IMHO, too-oft professed faith (I think faith should be more private and not be used as a political tool). I call that "irony".
(3) I needed a vehicle to deliver the punch line of "Who's your Bagh-daddy?" in a way that made some sense given the current state of affairs. I call that a "play on words".
(4) The South Park movie reference gives a convenient and funny way to visualize this, with Saddam turned into (again) an ironic pussy and Bush into (again) an ironic, sex-crazed hyperactive buggerer.
Obviously, once explained, humor loses its magic. Sorry that you missed the joke the first time around. It was kind of funny, and whether you are for or against the war, humor will help to keep us all going in the coming days.
I was not trying to state that Bush is evil or more evil than Satan or Saddam. You came to that conclusion on your own. Is it because you have doubts? (Couldn't resist the last dig. Mod -1: Flamebait).
FWIW, I don't have any doubts - I think Bush is doing absolutely the right thing for Bush to be doing right now. He's fucking Saddam in the ass. (That's another joke.)
GF.
Lots of petrified grits
