:S OPEC won't allow the middle east to do that #1. #2 if they do they rape themselves out of Billions of US dollars. #3 If we have middle eastern support we will not suffer an oil embargo. Look for some fancy diplomatic work. Oh wait, we're conquering oil producing nations and nuking there Oil feilds, I forgot (;/) If our strategy is conquer and pillage, what stops them from attacking all the other oil producing nations. I'll sign up when we invade Venesuela.oh yeah, by bombimg iraq, you won't only lose iraqian oil, you will lose most of middle east, watch the news cuc.
So you're saying that America, a country that remains almost completely isolated from the rest of the world, should have the right to decide who should and shouldn't have nukes? And whats this about Russians, are they 'highly dangerous' people as well?Originally posted by Morrone
The Russians have thousands of nukes, and so do other countries. We are trying to get nukes away from people who are going to inevitably use them and that are highly dangerous.
War is only inevitable when people start saying war is inevitable, there is always some way of avoiding it if you look hard enough. And if you are willing to look like a coward, appeasers seem to have a bad name these days but the fact is that World War 2 would almost definately gone a different way if there had been no appeasers.Originally posted by Morrone
War with Iraq is inevitable unless Saddam steps down form power like I think he should.
Explain to me the idea of 'minimal civillian casualties' because I don't get it. What's minimal? 10? 200? 2,500? 30,000? Minimal is a pretty vague word used mostly by people unwilling to specify exactly how many innocent people are going to be mercilessly slaughtered.Originally posted by Morrone
If we go to war this is what will happen. Generalization: We will bomb key military facilities with minimal civilian casualities. We will invaded from all sides that let us with have armor and fighter planes. We will hold up when we get to cities. The maximum civilian and American soldier casualities will be in the city battles where most of Saddam's serious soldiers who really want to fight for him will be held up. We will slowly push through the city entrapping Saddam until he will surrender.
So this isn't 'so bad' after all? Sure a couple of thosand dead, not counting American casualties (and others, amazing how you've forgotten that there are more than Americans out there. There are British soldiers as well.) What will happen after that? A new regime set up? Some other kind of dictator to take Sadam's place?Originally posted by Morrone
This scenario isnt so bad. There will be a couple thousand civilian casualities in Iraq at most, a bit worse than in Afghanistan. However the American casualities will be much more severe pending on how bad the city fighting gets. Saddam will most likely play a trump card by tossing some gas or dropping some other little suprises he has but probably wont do much damage cuz we will probably know about it or be prepared enough to avoid it.
ok saddams goal is to unite the ARAB world, osamas is to unite the MUSLIM world, and the us stands in both thier way, and osama is trying to eliminate the superpowers, like how he and the mujihadin did to russia, and us is next on the list.and part of his 'mission' is to get rid of him along with some of the other Arab leaders. So i dont think saddam is gonna sell weapons to his enemy. and yes they both hate us, but they also hate each other.
and a few thousand civilians is minimal casualties, if we do urban fighting, no the soliders arent going to just shot civys buddy, and if they attack then we have complete reason to shoot them back because then they arent civies but i would sau only a few 100 civilians will die at mostThis scenario isnt so bad.

You are OBVIOUSLY trying to annoy me by showing the forum you can't read. America and the rest of the world has the right to decide who is dangerous and who isnt/ It is EXTREMELY obvious (as Cucumba has said b4_ that Saddam is dangerous. SO if none of the thickheaded Europeans feel like wasting their precious 'pounds' in a war than fine we will.Originally posted by Engar

I'm not trying to annoy you or anything but there are some things that need to be pointed out. Once the war is over things will have to be sorted out, you can't just go in, kill some people, explode a few bombs and leave. This subject is a lot more complex than that.
Oh so you just think that every ARAB is a MUSLIM? wrong. Anyway that isnt Saddams goal, Saddam only cares about 1 thing, himself, he only cares that he stays in power and is happy and alive. Osama Bin Laden doesnt want Saddam to happy or alive, they are enemies ok, get it through your ignorant head, the chance of them teaming up to be against America is very small.Originally posted by uslessresponse

Saddam we dont like because he scared the **** out of everyone after shooting scud missels at israel which might have contained biological weapons, so we are uptight about him not allowing us access to whatever we want cause we dont want to be doing that sort of crap again.
