Bush war advisors: unfound Iraqi weapons matter little

This one pissed me off. The fact is that this war in Iraq was completely unfounded. They've pretty well conceded that they will not find anything in Iraq, and the fact that they're just blowing this off should put the rest of the world in an uproar.

Any other country and this would not be tolerated and it really pisses me off that the Americans are getting away with this. This is no different then the Nazi invasions before WWII. Simply pathetic.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

What a flattering "File Photo":

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

yeah i was thinking to myself, do i really think anything comming from that mug as cerdible?

Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

The sad thing is that you probably believe that.

The even 'sadder' thing is that you don't.

nazi is a buzzword, people use nazi in argument and debate to associate pure evil to an act. it's no better then calling someone a boogerface in debate.

Nazi's were just that, Nazi's, there's not a sinlge comparable act to being a nazi then intentional genocide of innocent civilians with the intent to exstinguish said civilians.

ok wiseguy. Why don't you do yourself a favor. Research the Nazi regime and all of its actions. Do some research on the current situation in Iraq. Then, when you have a detailed and objective synopsis of each, do a side-by-side analysis and comparison and point out how the two are exactly the same. Otherwise... you might come off sounding stupid.

How easily forgotten David Kay's first weapons report is. It clearly states that Iraq had current weapons programs and was hiding tons of information and equipment from the UN. I encourage everyone to read Mr. Pearle's book, even if you don't think you agree with him. The information he puts out is amazing, and it comes complete with plenty of sources.

I never said Bush was a Nazi. I said his invasion of Iraq was comparable to the Nazi invasions. Two very seperate things.

But i hardly think even the invasion of iraq is comparable. sure they have SIMILARITIES, but not comparable, i have to agree with Corey. Look at the facts, they are <i>very</i> different.

Ok, My BS-O-Meter is going berserk. You clearly wanted to call the US Nazis. Why else make the distinction? You didn't say the invasions were "no different" than the British invasions of Africa, or even that they were "no different" than the GERMAN invasions pre WWII. No, you used the term Nazi. It's the easiest way to sensationalize an issue. Compare it to Nazism and/or Hitler. Way to go, you earn a gold star. How about arguing against an issue with reason and scenarios rather than just labeling it as something else? You can't just make such a sweeping statement without pointing out why. If I made a thread saying that Canada's economy is "no different" than Communist Russia, wouldn't you want me to back that up? Hey, and next time, stick to your guns. Don't make a statement and say that's not what you meant when clearly it is.
