[OFFICIAL] Operation Iraqi Freedom - Conflict in Iraq

Yeah when i watched Saddam's state TV adress there were doubts in my mind that it was him. The White house hasn't confirmed if that was Saddam or not.
Iraq has retaliated by supposedly launching a number of scud like missiles at Kuwait. US patriot missiles were launched to bring the scuds down but one supposedly did hit the ground. Nobody knows if the warheads were full of chemicals.
Oil wells in the south of Iraq have been set alight, in an adress by Saddam a few days a go he said he wouldn't be destroying his own country's wealth by the destruction of Oil wells, which proves he is a liar.

The whitehouse has not confirmed it was him? Saddam won't be in Iraq. He would have shot accross that border and probably has something up his sleeve that will destroy Iraq. He's cunning like that.
As for Saddam being a liar, do you have any idea how much bull**** the USA and UK have fed to us? As for Iraq retaliating, who said this? Oh thats right, Kuwait who hates Saddam and USA who also are out to get him. Coincidance? No. Bull****. You don't know. I don't know. There are lots of cover ups that go on in the army.
Gulf war, Tank starts firing at British troops thinking they are Iraqi's. 3 injured, 6 dead.
Gulf war, 14 British troops killed after a USA plane drops a bomb on a tank.
War on terror, 4 Canadians killed due to another USA misplaced bomb.
USA go for what I call the "pussy approach". Use bombs, guns e.t.c
UK go for hand to hand combat and at least make war remotely interesting by doing that.
If they are committing so much blue on blue, then should they really posess all of these weapons? They want peace. Or so they claim. They should not have them if they are going to fulfill their statement which they won't.

I think war should happen because Hussain's reigime over Iraq has been torture for the Iraqi people.
Hussain has total control over Iraq and Citizens can't do anything about it , unless they want to be dead.
Thats why I think War must go through unless the US wants Iraq to continue being tortured.

He couldn't have launched any scud missles... They don't have anymore... REMEMBER... He already disarmed of all banned weapons.
I hope they catch SaDAMN and string him up by his Testicles.

He is a peace activist would rather bring back the brutality of Medieval era warfare. What a confused idiot.
Since when do the Brits use had to hand combat as a preffered attacking method? They have preffered artillery and rifles for over 300 years.
Maybe you are thinking of the French... but that is more of a Hands-Up approach.

What is with the perpetual digs at the French? COs they didn't join you in this war? Cos they threatened to veto the second UN resolution?
Come on, you don't see the US being vilified as terrorists for vetoing a resolution seeking to prevent international terrorism. Just quit with the anti-French stuff, I don't even think anyone here is french, voetballiefhebb in in the UK ffs so lets keep this relevant. The French are not there. Get over it. What, if the US suffer a large number of casualties, they have a ready-made scapegoat in the french now? As in 'if the fench were there, this would never have happened'.
I was the first person on these boards to point out the vested interests the French have in Iraq, I was the first to point out that more german companies had invested in Iraq since 1991 than any other, I was the first to point out the fact that the Russian oil economy could suffer from an invasion of Iraq, and I was the first to point out that these reasons played a major role in their opposition to this war. This does not mean I support the war. Nevertheless, you continue with the anti-french remarks. Why?
Can't we just focus on what is happening? Just because the US and the UK have mocked the French position, does not make them any more right.
Wrong.
The war has started becuase there are 300000 US and UK troops on the border with Iraq, who would be too expensive to keep there any longer, never mind the fact that the weather would make fighting uncomfortable.
The UN inspectors has only been given 31/3 months to do their job after returning, at Saddams invitation, after having not been there for a number of years when the US pulled them out.
3 1/2 months does not sound like a good amount of time to disarm a country, does it? Hans Blix said he needed more time to do his job, but noone listened.

This is my opinion but Saddam has had 12 years to disarm since the End of the Gulf War.
What I find annoying that people will get mad at Saddam is he uses Chemical weapons. I mean the guy is getting invaded by an invading force, and hes not allowed to defend himself? How F'd Is Tat?
hummmmmmm anyway.....back to the war and new developments:
*Second wave of cruise missiles and limited plane attacks over Bagdad. The residence of Tariq Azis were gutted, no reports of civilian casualties aside from that obscure report by the Red Cross that said one Jordanian male had been killed earlier today.
*US Marines and Army Reconnaisance Units along with a Light Mechanized Regiment of the British Armed forces are either returning or still probing Iraqui defenses along the southern borders. So far no Coalition casualties reported. There have been reports of sporadic combat and that a number of Iraqui (mostly patrol) vehicles (and I assume personel) have been destroyed. Also some more Iraqui border guards surrendered to US troops today
*The Pentagon announced that the so called "shock and awe" face of the war has been posponed for the time being. Analyst say because it might be that A) Iraq's leadership has been severely fractured.
Many units are waiting to surrender. C) It would simply be unnecesary. However, they have also announced that if the Iraqui military does resist "shock and awe" described as THE most massive onlaugh of military might to recent memory will indeed be unleashed.
Ok so far so good I think....................................................This is only day one
On a note to voetliebal or however it is spelled........you need to go home, cool off and then come back and form intelligent opinions. You are making peace supporters look bad with your rants about the US are pussies this Bush is Hitler that Saddam is too cool...blah blah.......
You are mixing so many half-facts and half-lies together is not even funny
Rhizome: yes, indeed I am Venezuelan. Born and raised....I'll be happy to open another thread to discuss the situation there.
