  1. As for the search for Osama, the US still has troops in Afgahnistan. They are simply forgotten, because the media insists on concentrating on Iraq, because it makes for better headlines. All I hear about are the negatives in Iraq. You never hear about how well things are going in Afgahnistan. No, they haven't found Osama, but they have set up a stable government and the rebuilding process is going well. I will never understand why the media always concentrates on the negatives, no matter what the situation.

    You answered your own question before the question. :D

    Going into Iraq was a coup d'etat. They needed a reason to go in, they took what they had, and they did it.

    Yes, Saddam was a bad person, and yes, the world is better with him behind bars.

    But it was a bullshit excuse to go in, plain and simple.

  2. I think on this site, :hlogo: Talk >>> Political Discussions

    Welcome to The Lounge.

    Everything but Habs discussion.

    In response to revvvrob,

    I see no link between Hussein and the terrorist attack on Sept 11. By the way, whatever happened to the "Find Osama" mission? He was the direct mastermind behind the September 11 attacks.

    And yes, while the war on Osama and the attempt to find him was (is?) totally justified, going into Iraq to oust Hussein because of WMD's (that did not/do not exist) is something that shows a blatant misuse of power on Bush's part.

    He didn't ask to start the war on terrorism....but he's certainly manipulated it to fit his own agenda.

  3. Guys, I'm sorry to say it but I really don't like this new board.....the old one was 100 times better......my game threads are all messed up and now I can only post 10 pictures/graphics in my game threads. :(

    Judas!

    I mean...ahem...

    All complaints about the new board must be submitted to the room that is NOT full of deadly ninjas. I swear. :mellow:

  4. Please don't forget what got the whole thing started as far as President Bush was concerned ... the unprecedented, premeditated, unprovoked attack on the thousands of innocents in the World Trade Center on September 11th.

    I'm not sure how I'm supposed to read that.

    Is that a rebuttal or an agreement with what I said?

  5. Typical. Those living outside the US are glad they are outside - but what you don't realize is that most living in the US wouldn't want to live anywhere else! And frankly, I don't blame them - the US is a great nation. I find this topic funny in that President Bush is being considered dishonest - while his predecessor was a proven liar!

    Lying about getting blown by a fat cow is a tad less severe than lying about a country having big weapons and the intent to use them so that you can call for a war that costs many people their lives on both sides.

    But anyways...

    has anyone really trusted a politician in their lifetime?

  6. It may take me a bit to contribute monetarily being that I'm currently bringing in an income of...well...nothing....so it could be a bit belated or not at all. I'll do what I can though.

    (Also, I'd just like to shamelessly plug that the Gillet Letter is looking for 4 more names. I know this isn't the time or the place, but it's my thread and I will do what I please*)

    a word from a die-hard red sox fan:

    oh yeah, well we are gonna sign some young kid with great defense, offensive upside and a lot of speed and while Damon gets old, breaks down, stops stealing bases, gets injured, and you watch his OBP level out around .310, the sox are going to be a younger, defensively charged team with a hardcore rotation and a decent bullpen.  Yankees bulpen is Mo + Red Sox castaway LOOGY + Red Sox castaway setup man.  Prepare to catch the injury bug Yankees.  Way to tie up your roster... not that you have any prospects!!!  We are going to trade Wells + either clement or arroyo, get stronger depth-wise.  We are Marte AND Becket.  Randy Johnson just got 1 year older.  Can you say Kevin Brown?

    ok... got that out of my system.

    The Yankees have always had the "Right now" mentality.

    Right now, they have the best batting order in baseball.

    3 years from now.....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    3 years from now they'll buy a whole new lineup. It won't end until they get a new owner. It's quite frustrating. The Red Sox lineup is still fine, Damon's decision is just frustrating for me since I was a huuuuuuuge Damon fan. Big Papi would be my top player now I guess. I really like Arroyo too for some reason.

    Not entirely true. They keep dishing out big money contracts for long periods of time. Eventually the players under-perform and can't be released. Look at Bernie Williams, Giambi, and now...Damon.
