Doubtlessly most of you haven't heard of the Downing Street Memos, because a majority of you don't know anything.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/dsmemo.pdf
They're a secret British document that got leaked by someone high up in the English government telling how facts of the Iraq war were being fixed around the case and that the Attorney General said the war in Iraq would be illegal given current evidence.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/
A site by David Swanson, a constitutional scholar calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush. Maybe you should look around.
Here's a letter to Rep. John Conyers, Jr. from John Bonifaz, another important item.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/5
"One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade·.if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."
-George W. Bush, 1999, talking to his ghost writer, Mickey Herrskowitz, who wrote A Charge To Keep.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

I'm pretty sure we're the ones at fault here, as he said, the majority of us "don't know anything"...
I wish I was as smart as a 14 year old liberal tool.... one can only dream, I guess.
I guess the funniest thing is, in all the years we've been here, he still hasn't learned that he shouldn't start out a conversation with slander.. it just doesn't make good "conversation".

So a document outlaying the routes the US had for the Iraq War proves what? You guys don't have anything better to go on? The line "fixed around the issues" is your hail mary impeach Bush play? Unfuckinglikely.
|
So you believe Iraq was being supplied with nuclear material from Africa?
So you believe that Saddam posed an imminent threat to the United States?
So you believe that Saddam harbored al Qaeda?
So you believe Iraq had WMDs? [http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/12/wmd.search/]
Of course, after it was found that there were no WMDs in Iraq, Bush's mission statement changed from
THIS: Bush: “Our mission is clear in Iraq. Should we have to go in, our mission is very clear: disarmament.” [3/6/03]
to THIS: Bush: “Our cause is just, the security of the nations we serve and the peace of the world. And our mission is clear, to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein’s support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people.” [3/22/03]
Oh, and a top war proponent Pentagon hawk [Richard Perle] has conceded that the war in Iraq was illegal. [http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/505]
Guess what Nazi leaders like Goering, von Ribbentrop, Jodl, and Streicher were hanged for?
"(a) Crimes against Peace: namely, planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a Common Plan or Conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing"
-Article 6, Charter of the International Military Tribunal, August 8, 1945
And of course on the topic of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib,
" War Crimes: namely, violations of the laws or customs of war. Such violations shall include, but not be limited to, murder, ill-treatment or deportation to slave labor or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied territory, murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war or persons on the seas, killing of hostages, plunder of public or private property, wanton destruction of cities, towns, or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity"
-Article 6, Charter of the International Military Tribunal, August 8, 1945
So, you think a Republican Congress will pass a resolution of inquiry on this? Of course not. But it would be nice if we had a real government.

Im getting tired of repeating this:
The 3 reasons we were in Iraq:
1.) WMDs, Still pending. There is alot of fucking Desert out there
2.) Help the Iraqis gain independence from the Tyranny of Sadaam.
3.) Terrorist Ties, and don't tell me they aren't there because our troops get blown up everyday because of them. This is a war on TERROR not just on al Qaeda.
Also, playing loud music and Sleep deprivation is NOT mistreating prisoners. There was no physical Torture(that was approved of) of Prisoners.

No, not still pending. That search ended a long time ago. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/01/12/wmd.search/
And this was the only reason given before the war was launched, rendering the other two irrelevant.
“Our mission is clear in Iraq. Should we have to go in, our mission is very clear: disarmament.” -George W. Bush [3/6/03]
| gbull |
2.) Help the Iraqis gain independence from the Tyranny of Sadaam.
|
Humanitarian reasons aren't legitimate reasons to topple a sovereign nation's government.
| gbull |
3.) Terrorist Ties, and don't tell me they aren't there because our troops get blown up everyday because of them. This is a war on TERROR not just on al Qaeda.
|
So you believe Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11? And, if I may, was Iraq harboring terrorists that proved an imminent threat to the safety of the United States?
| gbull |
Also, playing loud music and Sleep deprivation is NOT mistreating prisoners. There was no physical Torture(that was approved of) of Prisoners.
|
Then why have captives in U.S. custody died as a result of trauma?
http://www.humanrightsfirst.org/us_law/etn/statements/abu-yr -042605.htm
http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?id=4122
And the U.S. is planning an all-inclusive tribunal/death chamber set-up [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2979076.stm] absent from such non-sense as juries and the right to appeal.
And violating medical privacy rules in order to implement more effective per-person torture schemes. [ http://fullcoverage.yahoo.com/s/nm/20050623/hl_nm/security_g uantanamo_health_dc]
An FBI Agent says he saw it. [ http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/2004/US/12/08/guantanamo.abuse /]
It's more than just loud music. And loud music and sleep deprivation ARE mental torture techniques. You can make people literally insane with only the two.

I believe George W. said he was planning a war on Terrorism prior the war, and you can't add humanitarian reasons to the list? man...maybe we shoulda just stayed out of the European Theatre in WWII then, because Hitler wasnt an immediate threat to us. No ties to terrorism:
http://www.cfr.org/publication.php?id=7702
| "CFR Publications" |
What kind of support has Iraq given terrorists?
Safe haven, training, and financial support. In violation of international law, Iraq has also sheltered specific terrorists wanted by other countries, reportedly including:
* Abu Nidal, who, until he was found dead in Baghdad in August 2002, led an organization responsible for attacks that killed some 300 people.
* Palestine Liberation Front leader Abu Abbas, who was responsible for the 1985 hijacking of the Achille Lauro cruise ship in the Mediterranean. Abbas was captured by U.S. forces April 15.
* Two Saudis who hijacked a Saudi Arabian Airlines flight to Baghdad in 2000.
* Abdul Rahman Yasin, who is on the FBI's "most wanted terrorists" list for his alleged role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Iraq has also provided financial support for Palestinian terror groups, including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Palestine Liberation Front, and the Arab Liberation Front, and it channeled money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. In April 2002, Iraq increased the amount of such payments from $10,000 to $25,000. Experts say that by promoting Israeli-Palestinian violence, Saddam may have hoped to make it harder for the United States to win Arab support for a campaign against Iraq.
|
| "CFR Publications" |
What ties have been alleged between Iraq and al-Qaeda?
In October 2002, CIA Director George Tenet announced that the CIA had received uncorroborated reports that:
* Senior-level contacts between Iraq and al-Qaeda stretch back a decade.
* Iraq and al-Qaeda have discussed the provision of safe havens and reciprocal nonaggression.
* Iraq has provided training to al-Qaeda members in chemical weapons and conventional explosives.
* Al-Qaeda leaders have tried to cultivate contacts in Iraq who could help them acquire weapons of mass destruction.
* Some al-Qaeda members who fled Afghanistan took refuge in Baghdad and elsewhere in Iraq.

Yes I beleive he was a threat, yes I beleive they were harboring terrorists, yes I beleive they had WMDs. We have a real government, we don't need an inquiry. Who the hell cares what the reasoning was. We are in Iraq. Iraq has a new government. Everything is peachy. I tell you we'd probably be years ahead of our time if it wasn't for all the whiners. We'd have cured cancer and colonized another planet probably. We're always held back though by everyone bitching and complaining. I am an American citizen. I don't care if their mission statement changed.
|
How was Saddam a threat, which terrorists were they harboring, and why do you believe they had WMDs? BTW, are you suggesting the ends justify the means?

Hitler was an immediate threat to us, though, what with his being allied with Japan, Japan attacking us, and his attacking other countries in order to occupy them and kill non-Aryans. Saddam wasn't doing that.

So Saddam paid an unsubstantiated amount of money in $25,000 increments to an unknown number of suicide bombers who would attack Israeli frontier villages? How is that an imminent threat to the U.S. again?
*: "Reportedly" by who? Is this a case of "someone said Saddam supported these guys?"

These are uncorroborated reports. That means no evidence other than someone said it, basically. I can make an uncorroborated allegation that Sensen Brenner is a five-headed space alien, but that doesn't make it true.
Oh, and you both seem to have avoided the majority of my post. Are you conceding those points to me?

conceding what? its a public forum, get over yourself. fine, if you want me to, I will. We made loud noise made them go crazy and whatnot, thats much worse than sawing off someones head with a dull blade while their still alive.
also, you still seem to be missing the point. Mr. Bush said we were to wage a war on TERRORISM. When in his speeches did he once say: "but we are limiting our aggression on those terrorists who have only just recently attacked or may be an immediate threat to us."
and to ask the question, does the end justify the means? Ask the Iraqis, they might be able to give you that answer.

Sadaam has never invaded a foriegn allied country, and hes certainly never commited genocide. 
FYI, Im sure the CIA makes a point not to follow uncorroborated reports with no proof.

Insurgents aren't Saddam's former government. And just because they do it doesn't make it ok for us to do it. Because we are carrying out torture so severe that people are dying from trauma-induced injuries. But I already said that, if you happened to miss it.
| gbull |
also, you still seem to be missing the point. Mr. Bush said we were to wage a war on TERRORISM. When in his speeches did he once say: "but we are limiting our aggression on those terrorists who have only just recently attacked or may be an immediate threat to us."
|
So why was Iraq such a hotspot for terrorists, as opposed to Iran, Syria, or Saudi Arabia? Well, I guess we should rule out the House of Saud because they're such close friends with President Bush.
| gbull |
and to ask the question, does the end justify the means? Ask the Iraqis, they might be able to give you that answer.

As a general rule, your argument has flaws if you believe the ends justify the means.

Unless they're pursuing a political agenda. The CIA has a lot more problems than it used to, but that's a whole 'nother debate.

I doubt there are many jihadists who aren't already fighting us.
Oh, and gbull, could I see that AP article?

Doubtlessly most of you haven't heard of the Downing Street Memos, because a majority of you don't know anything.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/downloads/dsmemo.pdf
They're a secret British document that got leaked by someone high up in the English government telling how facts of the Iraq war were being fixed around the case and that the Attorney General said the war in Iraq would be illegal given current evidence.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/
A site by David Swanson, a constitutional scholar calling for the impeachment of George W. Bush. Maybe you should look around.
Here's a letter to Rep. John Conyers, Jr. from John Bonifaz, another important item.
http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=node/5
"One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief. My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. If I have a chance to invade·.if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I'm going to have a successful presidency."
-George W. Bush, 1999, talking to his ghost writer, Mickey Herrskowitz, who wrote A Charge To Keep.

Well, actually, you might be right. I bet a lot of anti-Israeli soldiers and bombers would move out of Palestine towards Saudi Arabia. And then, attacking Saudi Arabia is a bad idea too, just because they have a huge army to protect their oil pipelines.
Ah, I see, you left out all the ones where they did die from torture. And "accidental" death during torture is still death during torture.

[SuperFlyingEngi, the smartest human ever,] is getting pretty desparate now. I can just sense it in his words. I'm waiting for him to totally lose it and freak out in a few months.

Oh no, you read my mind with your crystal ball. Just don't shoot invisible lasers at me with it, ok?
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

What does their oil have to do with anything?
And calling those interrogations "torture" is subjective. FYI, only 2 died during interogation according to that site. 2 out of 30,000. In other words, .000006%. Whats the percentage of US soldiers living during interrogation when their captured by Insurgents?

Don't you see, Gbull? American soldiers are evil and deserve to be tortured. That's why we should cut more spending for the evil American military and treat the "freedom fighter" prisoners like kings, even better than we treat our OWN soldiers!
Haven't you realized by now that America is evil, Gbull? Haven't SuperFlyingLiberalTool's arguments finally won you over yet?

I really like how you changed his name around to try and give your argument that "I'm a little childish dork" feel. Good show, assclown.

So ad hominem is only dissaproved of if AircraftKiller does it?
