LOL! I love that line.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

the Iraqi's were following the "French Military Handbook".....Chirac would be proud

Was it Dennis Miller who recently said he typed "French military victories" into Google and it came back with "Did you mean French military losses?"? LOL!

[jimkress]

Nah. They got them from the French.

Brand new Russian and Chinese weapons.....someone has some 'splaining to do..


Go look at the chart at THIS SITE to see just how much Russia has been involved with the death machine of Saddam Hussein. This gives a good graphic feel to the allegations that the U.S. has funded Saddam's military despotism.

Oh I don't know about that - you can get AK-47s and SKSs dirt cheap from sporting goods catalogs. It's just hard to fathom how many of those things were cranked out. And "brand new" does not mean "recently manufactured" - guns don't spoil.

"Brand new Russian and Chinese weapons..."

I wouldn't get real hung up on the 'brand new' part. I recently bought a brand new, never fired, still in the factory crate Russian M-44...from sometime prior to WW2

So I wonder what happens if we DON'T find WMD's? It's good we take that pig out and free the people of Iraq. As far as I'm concerned, that's reason enough, but ya' gotta think the mass media will really pile on if it turns out that he has none!

Thanks for that chart. 1% of Iraqs arms from US, Ladeeda. Our foes are such fing liars.

...so that the Israelis know where the sudden influx of arms into the West Bank is trickling in from.

BTTT! You got that right. Those Baathist's got to go some where, and Palestine is where they will head. Over 80% of Palestinians say their parents are from somewhere else in polls.

[halfdome]

Were machine guns banned by the UN resolutions?

[justshutupandtakeit]

War began 9/11. This is the heart of the world wide terrorist movement. That is the reason Saddam is being destroyed.

If any other nation believes it can harbor these terrorists it is sadly mistaken. Syria and Iran will quickly disinvest themselves of any who have taken refuge there and dismantle any camps or they will not appreciate the consequences.

North Korea may be a different story and victory will cost much more blood. We are mere months away from having to deal with that lunatic.

Fortunately, there aren't that many criminal regimes based on terror. More countries are turning towards freedom than tyranny. Particularly when the Big Dogs of Terror are neutered or put to sleep.

[justshutupandtakeit]

That is because there is no such thing as a Palestinean people. It is a "people" created around a terrorist movement by our old friends, the Soviets.

[American in Israel]

Indeed, but we are supose to forget that by now. PLO out, PA in...

[justshutupandtakeit]

I won't forget and will try to make others aware of it at every opportunity. Of course, I know you know it but others are utterly clueless.

I was pointed to it by a member of the University of Chicago College Republicans. I wish I had had it earlier for a former grad student, now at Stanford doing a post-doc, who told me that the U.S. supported dictators all over the world like--get this--Pol Pot.

[metesky]

Most of them seem to have done a runner about a week ago after the Black Watch imposed its presence on the town.

I love it when ya talk that way.
