Pentagon: 3 Months in Iraq Cost $14B - Page 2

The kicker is that a majority of Americans support the war initiative. When I ask coworkers why, they pretty much recite what Bush has said. They have no opinions of their own. But then, I shouldn't expect much from people who watch The Bachelor instead of the news or can't even find Iraq on a map or better yet, would rather be petty and call the French names instead of truly respecting their opposition and finding another solution within the framework of the UN.

I am thinking the same thing when I look at some of these polls. I am like, "Who are these people polling?"

Then Bush is like, "Saddam and his immediate family and officials have 48 hours to leave Iraq." Saddam is like, "Why don't you leave your country?" WTF

I watched the address last night and never have I seen someone be so obvious when reading his words off of a teleprompter. At least try to memorize your lines.

I just LOVE the fact that a sample of 506 adults is representative of the 250,000,000 people in this country

It is sad that the our country is giving Saddam Hussein 48hrs to disarm. Who are we to tell anyone to leave his/her country. All this war and rumors of war is a foreshadow of our fate which is yet to come. In Deuteronomy 2, the Israelites wanted to go up into the hills to fight the Amorites, but the Lord said unto Moses: "Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am NOT among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies". Although we are the world's superpower, anything is possible when there is war. We could win, we could lose. America is desperate to keep her crown. All her currencies state: "In God We Trust"; yet she has forgotten that the same God who she trusts has already said in Ecclesiates that "To everything there is a season...". We need to stop bullying other nations and stop focusing on how we can "keep" our crown. We need to focus on how we can make peace. We cannot use war to make peace, which is what our President is doing. I mean...How can you fight fire with fire and expect to get water? So how can we use war to make peace? The lord has allowed America to rule for so long. However, she cannot do more than her time. All the superpowers that were before her has fallen. There's no reason for her to think that the battle with Iraq is hers'.
In St. Mark 13, "...one of his disciples said...Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus...said..., Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down...And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; FOR IN THOSE DAYS SHALL BE AFFLICTION, SUCH AS WAS NOT FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION WHICH GOD CREATED UNTO THIS TIME, NEITHER SHALL BE". This world is not meant to be forever. All earthy things are temporary, including POWER. All I can say to everyone is to watch and pray, put on the whole armor of God, and choose who you will serve this day. I'm not saying that we will lose the battle to Iraq, but as I said earlier everything that's going on is a surety that our season is yet to come. We claim that we are the "United States of America", but we're not united. Therefore, a house divided against itself will not stand. Eventually this house will reap not only what she sows from the outside but also from the inside. People, wake up and pay attention to the time in which we live. Rev 17v10: "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other not yet come..." Which king is next? Whatever is meant to be, will be. We just have to fear the Lord with all our hearts'.

AH

I don't see why anyone is upset or surprised this is what happens when you mix an idiot who did not win the election, a "go to war" free card from congress, a poor economy and the speaking skills that deliver such statements as"he tried to kill my Daddy". As an American I told my class today that what makes this so bad is my opinion does not matter but I have to walk around on terror alert orange. An administration that creates color charts to determine my safety is at this point what I expect. I got a chart for George W:

Blue- Moderate Stupidity (mention Bin Laden when brain is stumped)

Violet- Stupidity- (Use WOMD and Bin Laden plus if all else fails mention God when brain is stumped)

Yellow- Idiot- (Have Colin answer all the hard questions, if this whole thing doesn't work I can blame him)

Orange- Irrational Idiot- (Pull out the big guns, make a stand and hope Saddam folds, if not blow the region up, except the oil)
::

Red- George W. Bush at this moment- (Continue smoking his crack cocaine because that is what he must be doing to make these type of decisions)

I am disgusted at American politics right now!!!

Great sentiment, but the Rev.'s not electable because of his history and the fact that the country's moved right and I don't see people voting to have their taxes go up.

The best shot of getting Bush out is to find Clinton II -- a technocrat, pro-business, socially moderate Demo.

CrimsonTide4 · #27 03-19-2003, 05:44 PM

Here's my question, I don't normally talk about this: What will determine who is the winner of this war? I mean really. Of course, there is no REAL WINNER but what will the winner get? Does Bush not realize that even if he succeeds in killing Bin Laden, Saddam, etc. that they have followers and people who support these men who will continue their legacies?

Bush is stupid. It's like he might as well have put I AM COMING FOR YOU on WEDNESDAY on a bulletin board.

Ok, so the White House has warned Americans to prepare for loss of life OF TROOPS. Do we need to be prepared for loss of life OVER HERE????????? Yall, I'm scared. I am trying not to be, but I am SCARED. Like, I'm crying.

I just want to go home. I've NEVER wanted to go home so bad in my life. I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!

But at the same time, I have to think about my girls. I don't want to incite panic in them by just jetting and going home. But I don't think they truly understand exactly what could happen. I can't BELIEVE that they haven't thought of sending these kids home. We have emergency plans and what not, but wtf? What are we waiting on? If I were a parent, I would've been came and got my kid. Day school (MAYBE) and that's it. But they d@mn sure wouldn't be spending the night away from home.

And then this curfew??????? You want me to stay in the house while who knows what happens? I'm ready to go home. This is all a bunch of BS. All of it.
