lol, we posted at the same time. I will delete my thread.

He said:

"If you are smart you will move to Canada or something."

uh oh.. doesn't sound good




I'm really scared about this.

They are showing bits & pieces of the speech on one of the news channels... this is really alarming at the words Pres. Bush used..

I think Mr. Bush did an excellent job tonight. He spoke very eloquently, and the speech was well written and delivered.

I'm just not all that excited about the whole 48 hour warning he talked about.

I was impressed at how he directly addressed that Iraqui people and told them that this was not going to be a war against them. I thought that comment was very important.

And now ladies and gentlemen, the Homeland Security "color" has been raised to: ORANGE

*sigh*

I'm actually kind of relieved to see someone in office that won't lace his words with political concessions and half-meanings. He wants the world to know he's serious.

I just hope that in a year or two we look back and call it a good decision.

You cannot be serious that he did a good job - the man is a terrible public speaker! He showed no emotion whatsoever. I thought I was watching a robot.

Whether or not this is a war against the Iraqi people, they are going to die. Saddam is going to use them as human shields, because he is a @#%@#% and that is what @#%@#%s do.

I don't think we did try diplomacy hard enough - I think he's terrified we aren't going to be the big bad hegemon anymore, and thus we need to have a pissing contest to show everybody who their daddy is.

Whoa whoa whoa... We didnt' try diplomacy hard enough? 12 years to disarm? How many "last chances" has Saddam had? It originally started out "we don't have any weapons of mass destruction." Then it's "Well, maybe we have just a few." And later on, "Ok, here's a few more, but that's all we have I swear!" And by the way, let me raise this question, with all the oil they possess what does Iraq need nuclear reactors for?

Let us ask ourselves where Iraq got the capabilities for nuclear arms in the first place.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!

How many times did Clinton say... We will bring the terriosts to justice... hummm after the bombing in Africa... after the first WTC bombing... I could keep going... and he had the chance to get Bin Laden and did not do it... he also was quoted in the mid-late 90s saying that Sadam would use weapons of mass destruction against us.. that he was to be feared and should be taken out... What happened?

Once we start seeing dead american soldiers on tv maybe some people will regret the push for war.

I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but it's never stopped me from sharing my opinion before, so why start now?

If this war prevents another attack like we saw on September 11, 2001, the loss of some brave men and women who fight for our freedom will not be in vain. I know that it's hard to let someone you love walk into the danger that is war, but it's time to show the American resolve. Let's go in, blow their doors down and rebuild a democratic Iraq.

Oh yeah, cuz the US has such a great track record with the new leaders they install.

Oh yeah, and God bless oil...I mean, America
