What do you think of the Iraq war?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Manicminer:
Iraq is full of oil.
Afganistan is full of metals.

America will need them both at some point in the future. Say no more.

Bob696:
Rumps-felt was the prime mover. He wanted to invade Iraq the day after 911. Not only does the invasion secure dino juice (well they hope it will but I have my doubts long term) it also helps secures Isreal by removing a major threat. Mosad made several attempts to kill Saadam, they assasinated a gun designer who worked for Iraq (I think in Belgium), the IDF air force bombed Iraq on several occasions to destroy key industrial complexes.

Afganistan. How the heck did we get involved in that????? Dosnt the goverment know any history?  EVERYBODY who has ever tried invading has had it's donkey kicked!!! British in the 19th century (the retreat from Kabul makes an epic story), Alexander and his Macadonians couldnt wait to get into India and finaly the Soviets who threw tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of troops at the place!!! And our Tony thinks 5-6 thousand of British troops are going to win? At the moment through no fault of the troops they cant even hold down a single province!

Who would you sooner had them....us(US/UK coallition) or terrorist supporting nutters?

You can never win a war against terrorism, but I recon you can let it know when its annoying you from time to time.

thermidorthelobster:
Iraq wasn't full of terrorist-supporting nutters before we invaded it.

Mudlark:
Sending our troops in has little to do with any of the countries perceived troubles IMO.

Successive governments (especially Labour ones) have been downsizing our forces since 1945 - what better way to do it but in the bloody glory of a battlefield.

Why?

Simple really - tin pot dictators that want to stay in power have a fear of being toppled in a coup

Who are the most successful leaders of coups - army generals. So kill them off, strangle their source of leaders and stay in office.

conspiracy theory number 1 :lol:
