No it's not just military plans. They have the intention to actually invade those countries.
The Saudi government wanted to get those Wahhabists off there back. No doubt that paying them to back off is a bad policy but that sure doesn't mean that they're friends with them. Bad policy? Yes. Bad leadership? Yes. Is the house of Saud our enemy? No, but they've been loosing there grip on power during the last decade.
As for the sept. 11th hijackers, most of them came from a region in Saudi Arabia who's supportive of Ben Laden but Saudi Arabia censors people from expressing there support and doesn't even make an attempt at dialogue until recently. Hiding the truth isn't exactly a good solution.
My relatives left Iraq during the invasion, they no longer have a country. If they where happy to live under occupation they would've stayed.
Of course now that they're there they're supposed to stay for a little while. I didn't support the war and yet I think that they shouldn't leave just yet. You failed to mention that even though most Iraqis don't want the US to leave immediately, a majority of them want the US to leave within a year. The majority of Iraqis also believe that the US hurts Iraq.
Read Wesley Clark's book, they have plans to invade those countries. Wether pressure works or not doesn't really matter, Bush will tell you that it didn't work.
They gave access because they probably have nothing to hide.
The Syrians had been planning for elections and democratic reforms since June 2001, perhaps if you had followed what's going on in the ME previously you'd have known. That new Syrian leader had been quiet popular with his population, conducting polls, trying to do what they want him to do, etc.
The Saudis have no choice but to do those elections not to mention that that's what they said they'd do if the US leaves there country. And they always cracked down on terrorists in their borders. There wasn't many terrorist attacks before in Saudi Arabia but they where sure arresting terrorists. Or are you saying that hey here's Al-Qaeda who's trying to oust the current Saudi government and the Saudi government just couldn't care less?
Those are the five countries I'm talking about? No they're not, Bush is too friends with the Saudis and too scared of North Korea to invade those ones. I also believe that the house of Saud receives too much bad press but that's a long story. There problem is that the Wahhabists became too powerfull and the house of Saud have a very hard time dealing with and controlling those idiots. The countries in question are: Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Somalia.
Obviously you're not an Iraqi so it's hard for you to give a damn wether or not they're occupied. No it doesn't lead to no more occupation, US puppets will be in power.
So why exactly is Bush planning to invade Syria and 5 other countries? You think he won't try to find another stupid reason without offering proof? Nevertheless we'll see soon enough wether you'll support that war or not.
Saddam doesn't have WMD's and that's the reason why he got invaded.
My original question was : Do you think money is gonna take away the fact that they're under occupation?
Save your propaganda for someone else. You're not gonna convince me that the current president was responsible for something that happened 50 years ago.
I've been to that part of the world, some of my friends work there to and I had relatives in Iraq until they fled because of the invasion. I should at least have a small idea, trust me. But hey, you can believe whatever you want if it makes you feel better.
Doesn't matter who do you think they are. The fact is that they shot at the protestors and they even played a warning saying that anyone who'll protest against the occupation will be shot.
Exactly, the USA did lots of good in this world but not Bush. Bush is invading countries because he believes God told him to and he have plans to invade 6 more countries.
Yes Iraq could legally export oil under the oil for food program and the US was Iraq's best customer.
It's about oil control, not about stupid oil contracts. Access to millions of new consumers is well worth loosing a couple of billions in oil contracts, trust me.
Leave them of course; but since we're on a mission of getting rid of dictators, then how about the others? Oh, sorry, I forgot that God is the one telling Bush which country to invade. I don't want to interfere with such plans.
Because it was never his intention to run away from Iraq, if he wanted to he would've accepted the exile deal and left.
He gave money to the families of Palestinians who died in the war wether they're suicide bombers or not.
No, they had no affiliations, they left the country since the invasion.
Yes it is a cowardly act when you're doing it on foreign soil and paying someone else's blood.
Besides, now that Saddam is captured we should know for sure wether he's got those WMD's or not. But I guess you'll be inventing something about Aliens from outer space stealing Saddam's WMD'S.
No they don't do much without maintenance. Besides, they where destroyed.
How about removing the murderous dictators in North Korea or Saudi Arabia or Egypt? Shall I really go on?
Here's a guy who's a genius at hiding WMD yet he doesn't seem to know that the game is over for him? Please. How dumb do you think he is? I mean sure he's a tyrant but you'd have to be quit a retard not to know that your country is being invaded and that your days are over.
Saddam gave the families of all those who die in the Israeli/Palestinian war money. I don't see how is that rewarding terrorist acts.
My Iraqi relatives no longer have a country thanks to the invasion. It might be a game for you to try to pull Al-Qaeda members into Iraq so that Iraqis blood will be shed instead of yours but I see this as a cowardly act.
The invasion of Iraq created new Al-Qaeda members and the support for that group is growing more and more popular. Soon we'll have no choice but to nuke the whole region if we don't wanna get involved in more wars.
The excuses for war get more ridiculous as we go on.
No you don't have the responsibility to clean it up, because Bush is not in there to clean it up. Iraq is only a first step towards invading more countries.
You know, WMD's don't last decades, besides they where destroyed.
His country was invaded, his sons where killed and he was captured. When exactly is he supposed to use those WMD's that he should've been able to launch within 45 minutes? Are you really that simple minded that you believe whatever Bush tells you? That whole invasion proved without a doubt that Saddam was not even close to being a threat.

Music is overrated. I mean come on, lots of things are more interesting than a bunch of idiots singing a tune.
That's pretty much all I use for communication, that and the traditional face-to-face, sure I use the phone once in a while but that's about it.
Now I'm a witness to the crime :)
So is it easy to setup or a pain in the ass just like so many other products? What kind of TV tuners does it support?
brilliant
Just why exactly would I want to watch even more ads?
There are lots of interesting radio stations beside the music oriented ones.
Yes, we'll see what happens.
They left because the US was about to invade Iraq. All of my relatives in the ME are Christians so the situation is worst for them.
Thanks but sometimes I do get them mixed up, english is my 3rd language.
Used to live in Lebanon.

I changed the subject? You're the one who didn't answer my question.
So I'm assuming that if tomorrow Bush wants to invade Syria you'll be against it?
So you're saying that the US is justified in invading any country as long as they pour in more money than the previous regime?
He no doubt represents the view of the majority of the Iraqi Christian community but it's quiet a small minority.
I've been to that part of the world, some of my friends work there to and I had relatives in Iraq until they fled because of the invasion. I should at least have a small idea, trust me. But hey, you can believe whatever you want if it makes you feel better.

Or you can check it this one, who actually represents what most of the Iraqis feel.

In short you'd be doing exactly like Saddam who refused to do business with most Western companies because they're a pain in the ass.
You obviously never lived in a country who got occupied did you? Oh the ignorance. You think money is gonna take away the fact that they're occupied?
You should've seen those anti-occupation demonstrators getting shot at like dogs. You do watch the news don't you?
Leave them of course; but since we're on a mission of getting rid of dictators, then how about the others? Oh, sorry, I forgot that God is the one telling Bush which country to invade. I don't want to interfere with such plans.

Them encouraging him for the war on Iran, providing him with WMD's, etc.
