Who's Next?

So, now that Iraq's been taken care of, who are Bush and his chums going to set their sights on next?

Syria would have to be the early favourite, but I reckon a CIA backed coup in Venezuela to remove Chavez Frias might be an outside chance as well. After all, it may well have been the political disintegration of that nation (as one of the main suppliers of oil to the US) that made up the Bush government's mind about the need to go to war with Iraq last September.

Anyway, what do the rest of you think?

Syria is definitely the most likely, at this point. But it's difficult to predict the decision making of an administration that so many times has proved itself to be completely irrational.

Other (please specifiy)

ya mum.

also, prolly syria

I almost forgot about Venezuela and the coup against Hugo Chavez there. But still, my top candidate is Syria. Iran is currently making some positive progress, so I guess it would piss off a lot of people if it was attacked, and besides, it is a large country because it has population of 66 million. NK has nukes and a huge loyal army, so attacking them is most likely out of the question.

Maybe we should ask the people in Tel Aviv. They appear to have a direct line to Washington DC and they have already stated that Syria should be next...so...I guess Syria will be next.

- I think Syria is next, yep, It's all over now, the US too claims they have the "chemical weapons". Plus, is a small country, and will be much easier then Iraq. So im taking Rumsfelds shoes and saying, let's beat the crap out of Syria as well!

I heard some military action could be taken against Cuba because of the disidents that got arrested.

Other: France

Naa: I said Syria


Posted by IronDragon on Apr-14-2003 22:20:

Dunno

I donno about you, but I'd love to live in a world without Saddam(done), Assad, Kaddafi, Abdullah and Kahtami.
1st: this would 100% lead to a mid-east peace
2nd: this would mean a new chance for the region, a post WW2 like situation (and we all see how Europe recovered)
3rd: this would make the job for terrorists much more harder

agreed, hopefully this can be brought about peacefully. regardless i dont think we should just sit idle and be complacent to those you mentioned. there is much to be gained for the mid-east and the world if such tyrants were removed.

sure makes me feel better!

I wouldn't say the U.S. plans on going INTO Syria just yet. There is ZERO justification for going in....esp. when the diplomatic route hasn't been used yet....
For now, the US is putting a lot pressure on Syria to cooperate....also threatening economic sanctions and military force...

There have also been too many rumors going around... i.e. Syria is hiding Saddam's WMD, or that it's providing a safe harbor for Saddam and his officials...and that it's got Chems wpns.... but very little has been proven. It's pathetic.....

... I DO think there's going to be A LOT of negotiations tho....
and I think the president is smart enough to make the right choice.
So overall, i'm still optimistic!


Posted by Cracka-X on Apr-15-2003 00:35:

I bet they got spec ops n shit all over that place.

i don't think that would 100% lead to mid-east peace... there are too many other factors involved...

as for Assad, I don't see why u think the world would be a better place without him....
1st of all, let's not confuse the new president Bashar with his 'tyrant' father... he hasn't done anything bad to called a 'bad' president, better yet to be called a tyrant....
2nd, I don't think it's easy to quickly fix what his father has done over soo many years! The whole system is corrupt!


Posted by DaveSZ on Apr-15-2003 01:09:

The troops are already next to Syria. It wouldn't make sense to pull them out, then bring them back again. My vote is for Syria. I wonder if he will actually do it.

The "WMD" argument for war doesn't hold much water in the Arab world. Does that mean that Arab countries cannot have chem/bio/nuke weapons while Israel has a huge stockpile of them??


Posted by malek on Apr-15-2003 02:29:

Funny how people put Bashar Al Assad on the same level as Hussein, Khaddafi, etc.

YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT.


Posted by tranceaholic on Apr-15-2003 03:23:

lets all play pass the WMD's..iraq has WMD lets get em..nothing there then thy must be in syria lets get em nothing there..then they must be in lybia lets get em...etc etc until at the end they are found in Bush's ass

No, I said Bashar al Assad isn't on the same boat as Hussein an Khaddafi.


Posted by Cracka-X on Apr-15-2003 06:48:

o sry, my bad. All I know is he's a Ba'ath party guy. Don't know much other than that and he's the leader of Syria.

Who knows?


Posted by malek on Apr-15-2003 08:08:

yes Baath party by name, but the Syrian branch and Iraqi branch have never liked each other... its a long story and its 4 am


Posted by DrUg_Tit0 on Apr-15-2003 11:54:

Well, even if Syria has WMDs, there's no international agreement which states it isn't allowed to possess those, so it has every right to store millions of tons of antrax and small pox if it wants to.
