Jump to Page |  1 | 2   | 3   | 4   |  next >> USA - War Becomes Us “Today is the day threath turn to actions...supposedly!” 4:20:05 AM 3/17/03 “I picked today on the TT pool. What do I win?” 5:25:05 AM 3/17/03 “lol...an all expense paid trip to Iraq. This trip has been brought to you by our sponser, Uncle Sam....” 5:26:56 AM 3/17/03 “I think it'll happen tomorrow, but today is possible. I'll be thinking good thoughts for our soldiers. Those of you who are in the military or have sons, daughters, or other relatives in the military should be proud.” 6:02:43 AM 3/17/03 “Friendly fire Dark-eyed children hiding in basements” 6:28:10 AM 3/17/03 Get Real “I know that you folks are just joking around and some of you will complain that I should lighten up, but I have former students and brothers of students of mine who are there. Their parents aren't holding silly contests about the start date of the possible death of their sons, or for that matter some Iraqi parent's son. Neither am I. As this thing gets started I will be in quiet contemplation of those kids. What do you win?” 6:33:28 AM 3/17/03 “I suppose we should be proud, but it's shame that it had to come to this and that a peaceful solution didn't happen.” 6:39:05 AM 3/17/03 “Very soon, the UN inspecters have been told to get the **** out by bush.” 6:39:08 AM 3/17/03 “I don't see anything immoral with merely guessing when we'll attack. For me it helps to mentally prepare for what's ahead. And I don't want to speak for bacpac or fight a battle for him, but he has mentioned before that he has a son in the Marines, and bacpac is a former Marine himself.” 6:40:56 AM 3/17/03 “Ice Tea, they already have.” 6:42:33 AM 3/17/03 “Studying significant events in history can be fascinating. Living through those events can be very painfull or even fatal to those involved. I see nothing to celebrate.” 6:53:09 AM 3/17/03 “Artex, I know with Ice it is easy to discount trhese things, but he did have a comma between "Very soon" and "The UN inspectors". :)” 6:53:43 AM 3/17/03 “I don't think it'll happen until April 1.” 6:57:25 AM 3/17/03 “Good catch, hyway. :-)” 7:00:04 AM 3/17/03 “Actually, the WAR has already been happening for 12 years. We have had fighters over Irag this entire time and have fired missles at Radar sites from time to time. I think we fired at one just last week. But a new CAMPAIGN will start soon.” 7:00:46 AM 3/17/03 “I agree with Sassafras. We might lauch cruise missiles before then, but thats when the main bombing will begin. And, I dont think there is anything immoral either. Sometimes the best way to deal with a bad situation is to joke about it. Kinda keeps it from getting to overcome with it all. Im in the Army and it doesnt bother me.” 7:02:31 AM 3/17/03 “i don't ageee with the conflict, but if it occurs ill stand firm behind my country” 7:11:04 AM 3/17/03 “Is that like, "I didn't mean to make her pregnant, but I'll be a good Daddy when its born?"” 7:24:11 AM 3/17/03 “Well said JO. When war becomes a spectator sport, we have truly digressed to all time lows.” 8:17:49 AM 3/17/03 “Ditto, Jo and Chili” 8:19:03 AM 3/17/03 “Trying to anticipate it's occurance is not the same thing as waving pom-pons and cheering.” 8:37:06 AM 3/17/03 “I don't think guessing a start date is at all comparable to viewing the war as a spectator sport, but I do respect what JO said. There are different ways of dealing with horrible situations. And by the way I respect what Troll420 said, too. (Yuck...respecting a troll.....)” 8:38:49 AM 3/17/03 UN Resolution Withdrawn “The 'second' resolution on Iraq has been withdrawn by USA, UK, and Spain.” 9:18:05 AM 3/17/03 “My wife started crying when she heard the news, my unit is not expected to deploy anywhere but she is frightend anyway. As for myself, I just want the whole thing to be done with, NOW! I hope it is a fast war with few casulties.” 9:46:56 AM 3/17/03 “Enough said on my part. We are all one and need to stick together. Let's hope it get's over quickly and those kids come home soon.” 9:51:12 AM 3/17/03 “It looks to me like tomorrow night would be the earliest and probably Wednesday night the latest. Check out the story on CNN about Bush addressing nation and arms inspectors needing 24 to 48 hours to clear out of Iraq.” 10:00:30 AM 3/17/03 “Tahoe, sorry your wife is upset. She has every right to be. JO, very well said. nothing more then that needs to be said.” 10:00:49 AM 3/17/03 “War is nothing to be proud of.” 10:21:48 AM 3/17/03 “Neather is cowering in your basement.” 10:28:58 AM 3/17/03 “Nor is slapping your girlfriend.” 10:32:03 AM 3/17/03 “...or kicking your dog.” 10:32:33 AM 3/17/03 “or kissing your fav. Irish buddie” 10:36:06 AM 3/17/03 “or kissing your Irish dog!” 10:36:26 AM 3/17/03 “I agree with Sass, on everything she said. The planes might go in soon, but our troops will not go in until we have the best night situation. Today is a full moon (no, not jerbear...). The new moon starts on 4/1.” 10:37:37 AM 3/17/03 “I will say a prayer for our men and woman in uniform, but I can not support my goverment on this one. Bush's diplomacy skills are deplorable.” 10:45:22 AM 3/17/03 “Amen, Big Daddy!” 10:46:57 AM 3/17/03 “What skills?” 10:47:52 AM 3/17/03 “Bush is very sloppy on this one. He should be more careful concidering only half the country voted fer him.” 10:48:39 AM 3/17/03 “less than half, to be technical...” 10:49:03 AM 3/17/03 “After 2004 Bush can go back to playing with his G.I. Joes and leave our kids the hell alone.” 10:52:26 AM 3/17/03 “I was wondering. In 2002 there were alot of people that were in fav of Bush. Now 2003 the same people that were in fav of Bush, have your view change about him at all? 1. do you still support him? 2. would you vote for him again knowing what has been going on this past year? 3. will you vote for him if he runs again?” 10:55:52 AM 3/17/03 “And he's laready getting a woody at the prospect of doing this to N. Korea, Iran and Syria next! Welcome to the NEW IMPERIALISM! All hail King George!” 10:56:13 AM 3/17/03 “TB - - - - You are correct. That's what I ment to say. He did not have an over whelming majority, so yeah....that was my point. I think that Bush's handlelers ane failing him. Too out dated.” 10:57:51 AM 3/17/03 “It's the same cast of characters in this melodrama. Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld, etc...” 11:07:12 AM 3/17/03 “"Oil is far too important an asset to be left in the hands of the Arabs" - Henry Kissinger” 11:22:02 AM 3/17/03 “suprised that Robert Conard isn't there going "Go ahead, I dare ya to knock it off"” 11:30:55 AM 3/17/03 “"The Presidency in wartime is far too important an asset to be left in the hands of the democrats."-ULTRAPecker” 11:38:03 AM 3/17/03 “Laqtis, you reached down deep for that one! Everybody watch your back, when the fit hits the shan we might see some terrorists jumping out of the woodwork” 11:38:44 AM 3/17/03 “And we can thank Mr. Bush for that one!” 11:41:25 AM 3/17/03 “Hopefully the terrorist will only attack Kalifornia.” 11:42:56 AM 3/17/03
