and you thought it wasn’t personal

that whole iraq thing? yes, i know about the u.n. resolutions, about the threat of nuclear and chemical and biological warfare, about the over ten years of defiance to the free world at-large. these are all viable reasons, and enough evidence will get the coalition support needed to do what needs to be done. but you know what? it is personal. blood personal. shall i quote?

    **** I knew it. I also know he will go to any extreme to make this war happen. Hussein with Al Queida COME ON.. Are they even the same religion (that is very important to extremist anyway). I will seriously have to look that up..I have on occassion thought seriously on writing a letter. Dear Mr. President “You have done enough. Can you please not blow us up during your term of office. Just relax and play some golf for the next two years.”
    Sincerely,
    Julieanne O.

    Let’s all remember that every public speech any president gives is written by someone else and meticulously worked over for any kind of “message” they would like to send. In this case, for a split second I did think Will Ferrel was at the podium.

    JO: Sadam and UBL are both muslims. Same faith. And its already known that Al Qaida did set up a training camp in the northern region of Iraq. Albeit, that part of the region may not be under Sadam’s complete control, his intelligence forces are certainly aware of who is setting up camps in their country. If not an alliance with UBL, but complacency is not so farfetched as one would think.

    Thank you Snapper.. I had forgotten to look that up. I am just so devistated by Presdident Bush it gives me a headache and I try to put it out of my mind as quickly as possible. So we all know though we are prepared to go back into Iraq. Why do I know this. My mothers 2nd worse fear my brother was deployed to our nearest Base in Kurdistan. He’s a marine. *sigh…

    My prayers go out for you and your bro’. Has he been deployed already or do you mean that is your mother’s fear?

    He was deployed 3 weeks ago. I think he will be ok. He was one of those scary loner kids that used to play in the woods from sun up till sun down through his whole child hood so he’s all about survivial. Now mom just sits in front of the computer wondering if he’s cold.. because that’s what mummies do.. :) Thankies Namaste..
