Thread Name: BS: Colin Powell finds the 'Smoking Gun'
Subject: RE: BS: Colin Powell finds the 'Smoking Gun'
All I heard today was Colin Cancer spouting the same fluff again. Think about what's being presented. If I walked into a court of law with the evidence he presented I'd be disbared, dismembered & darn studip. With all this he say, she say shit I'd say it wouldn't be enough to toss someone in death row never mind into battle. Are they not held to the same standards of proof that they hold all of US to? That was a 3rd rate crime report. I remember how & what we were told during the Viet Nam police action. Cambodia & Laos were off limits & at the same time my brother was there covertly with the CIA doing what they do best while under cover. And you wonder why people won't take them at their word this time around. Screw my once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me. We have (along with a host of others) the ability to create any scene to fit the situation so as Americans isn't it are duty to make damn sure before we go off on a twenty first century crusade (whoa, been there, done that)? If we don't & we go this alone we may find that the UN has to declare US as a rouge nation & put the dogs on US. That tiny little spec of dust over there wouldn't be capable of nor have the resources to lob a football at us never mind being wage war. Didn't we already disable them when they were in far better shape than they are now. Please. Honey duck they're throwing carrots at us. Let's nuke 'em with all our weapons of mass destruction. Korea is so far along in this area that they might as well Iraq & save us the cost or maybe do it from close range Isreal (pun) don't they also have the capablity? What happened when they got theirs? They are no more of a threat to us than Bora Bora is. Colin "Chicken Little" Cancer is asking us to fear not Iraq but to fear itself & the unknown. There are to many what if's, but's, maybe's, guess's, suppose's & a convinent amount of 2nd & 3rd hand speculation. I am not one to follow any politican frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog into the arena. If anyone wants my kid's life they can wait till hell freezes over before I take them at their word. I didn't bare & raise a child to watch him become a tool to be discarded or disposed of on the whim of anyone's say-so jail house source no matter who or what is wearing the strips. Did we not lose enough humans in the past needlessly. Is the real goal to do earth the big favor of cutting back on all the mouths that she needs to support & feed in favor of giving more to the few with an eating disorder? Pleae again. We have enough here to sustain the globe on, it's no wonder countries are getting pissed at us, for making all the wrong moves for the wrong reason. Our Founding Fathers had something better in mind for us than that. We are the most powerful, richest, advanced nation in the world, we should be waging a war on a host of things but not on people. War is failure & a last resort. We can be part of the solution or be part of the problem, which ever we choose we will be the big part. Brace yourself for cold war II & world war III. Is it worth it? Is there enough to warrant this? Who gives a twit what about the one who dies with the most toys wins? Lastly, what ever we choose we will have it coming back in ten fold & we'll deserve every bit of it, good or bad, our choice. We are choosing not just for ourselves (we sometimes don't see this), we're choosing for the citizens of the world, even the most remote place on earth will sharply feel the results. Barry
