BETS BETS, PLACE YOUR BETS HERE!

[Capo]

I'm betting 10 dollars that Saddam is going to KILL HIMSELF before we reach him!!

Any takers?

Oh yeah, and since this is a political disscussion

France is stupid, they need to get a new UN council...

And I believe saddam will kill himself because... As soon as he realized that his troops are defeated and there is no "allah" guarding him or his soilders, he will face the music and shoot himself, before being captured by US troops who would capture him, say he was killed, and tourture him...

Just my theory. I also have other views, but people dont like to read long posts.

[mosaik]

you're wrong

[sandsleeper]

i would say no since it would be in his best interest to appear as some sort of martyr. he's too proud. that would be too cowardly a thing for him to do.

[Capo]

Hitler was proud too...

[starseed_10]

i think he'd sooner do it than let the us capture him, maybe try some sort of suicide bombing, but i bet he'll just get himself taken to a cave for hiding like Bin Laden

[Axtech]

Hitler was proud too...

What a maroon. (not Hitler, you)

Yes, maroon. Got a problem with that, doc?

[al_]

I agree with Capo.

[Axtech]

Comparing Hitler with Saddam is ignorant. Hitler was a fascist who attempted to rid the world of specific types of people through any means possible.

Saddam is the leader of a country who may or may not have weapons of mass destruction.

Bush is the leader of a country who has weapons of mass destruction.


Which two of the above are more comparable?

[Corey]

Hussein = Stalin

Disagree? I'll prove it.

[the android]

I think Corey's right on about the Stalin = Hussein thing.

I may not always agree with him on everything, but I do agree on this.

[megxyz128]

Bush may be an idiot, but I don't think he can be compared to Saddam, c'mon now.

[Dabekk]

As soon as he realized that his troops are defeated and there is no "allah" guarding him

why would you say it like that? by putting the name Allah in quotation marks you are just seeming blatantly anti-muslim. Although Saddam Hussein clearly has a warped vision of the religion of Islam, I think he probably still believes in the religion. And since he believes in the religion he surely would prefer to be killed by someone else because in his mind that would make him a martyr.

[starseed_10]

I still dont know that they'd have a big problem getting him away so that America cant find him

that may be true though

[Dabekk]

that too, they still haven't found bin laden. However, bin laden's whereabouts were never really known while Saddam could probably be more easily located in Baghdad, perhaps, and from there the U.S. millitary could just surround him. Of course, that's assuming that they don't move him to some undisclosed location which is completely possible. But the one thing that is fairly certain is that Saddam will not kill himself.

[starseed_10]

agreed, if they no where saddam is now, they might be able to kieep track of him.

I could see him prefering to go down fighting than killing himself though.

[sandsleeper]

yeah. or if he did kill himself, i bet he'd make sure he took a few of us out with him.

[mosaik]

Saddam Hussein will fight the amerikan invader for as long as he can. he's said so many times. i don't think he'll take the so-called easy way out.

EDIT: By the way, do you believe that if Iraq was invading your poor defensless nation that GWB would do anything different?

[starvingeyes]

i bet the iraqui children you blow to smithereens will wish they killed themselves before you got to them, too! i bet they believe in "allah" too! ha ha! their religion is fake! ha ha! kill 'em all!

but hey, take no prisoners right! maybe next the coalition can cluster bomb france or canada! woo hoo! let's fuck 'em up!

USA! USA! USA!

[Corey]

Saddam is doing a fine job killing iraqui children all by himself.

[the android]

What I love most about this war is how confused I am about everything.

I don't know why we're going. Does anybody, really? We think we're going for Independance and to take out a threat, but... That's what the news tells us. We don't know if there's other motives that they're just not telling us.

I got into a whole big debate with my mom about this. I said I wanted to take a political class in school, she said that I hardly ever read the news, therefore taking that class is a silly idea, and it all escalated into:
Mom:"You need to read the news to educate yourself about what's going on in the world."
Me:"But how can I TRUST the news when they're not always giving me the whole truth?"
