Yoepus quote: Originally posted by TuanAnh213 why do conservatives continue to lump the iraqi war with defending this country and the world against terrorism when Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 bombings? because terrorist like Iraq Dupz Honestly, what is a "terrorist"???? we throw around the word all too often.. Spacey Orange quote: Originally posted by TuanAnh213 why do conservatives continue to lump the iraqi war with defending this country and the world against terrorism when Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with the 9/11 bombings? 1. Slick politicing to maintain support for the war. 2. Some never read the 9/11 Commission Report, or pay attention to the media for that matter. 3. Some believe that both are connected as threats to stability in the ME (Israel), even though they acknowledge no connection. 4. They refuse to admit that there is no connection to save face. Dupz quote: Originally posted by Nou In Iraq, it crosses the lines all to often. If they attack US and its allies then they are engaged in rebel activities, perfectly legit and fine in my opinion. When they blow up a bunch of kids or non-combatents or take hostages, they become terrorists. The question, is where do you draw the line, do you criticize the rebels because some of them may also be taking hostages? I think we should, but should we look at them in the same regard if they blow up a Humvee, no. Yeah, I see that normal Iraqi's fighting the US occupation are instantly classified as terrorists.. quite unfair.. But yes, those who take innocent civilians as hostages and generally kill innocents are terrorists. agreed... Does that then mean that the US are terrorists, in the sense that they inflict "collateral damage" and basically are globe-trotting trigger happy's? I'm sick of hearing the world "terrorist"... Everyone's a fukn terrorist, according to our loose definitions.. it's just another buzz word that doesnt mean . Dupz Oh, and is it just me or does everyone else start thinking of that Armand Van Helden song when they see the subject of this thread.. Damn radio, gets all those catchy tracks stuck in my head.. :) ogvh5150 quote: Originally posted by Dupz Honestly, what is a "terrorist"???? we throw around the word all too often..

How Western greed created Hussein's Iraq (You should have read this thread already since you did have the last reply entered.) Israeli Intel given to US link here quote: In fact, according to Brom, these sources were utterly compromised by Israeli intelligence, which made the case for starting the war and kept it going as long as necessary. The retired general described Israel as a “full partner” in U.S. and British intelligence failures that exaggerated Iraqi President Saddam Hussain’s nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs in the lead up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
