So who thinks we should invade iraq and take control of the whole middle east (or not)? they do have lots of oil. who wants to attack but is scared of repocussions such as them sending some chemical wepeons in responce. Who wants to atack and hopes they strike back?

How the hell would they strike back? They have no missle launchers. They have no money. All they have is oil and sand. Oooh ... frightening.

The UN wouldn't be down with that idea, no matter how crazy Bush the sequel is ... they wouldn't send checmical weapons over either. They would send some dumb-ass suicidal dude with a suit-case-bomb over here and blow maybe 15-30 people up.
Ever since we've been buying our oil from Canada and Russia we rely on the middle east less and less. I think we buy only 33% of our oil from them now.
The more I think about it the more it makes sense to invade, but that's probably wrong on a couple levels.

Oil can buy lot's of chemical weapons, and you should never underestimate, the power of stupid people in large numbers. There is no way to know what they will do if USA will invade Iraq.

Oh shutup. "Let's solve the world problems by creating more war!"

I say lets quit playing

declare the truth

Our policy is to ensure the jew nation is safe

pull all troops out and state, attack us again and we will kick ass.

Send mass amounts of security and weapons to Isriale. If they fall after that... It wasn't meant to be. (Plus that means we aren't near the end according to the bible. )

Tell all the countries in Europe bitching, to pay the world war II debt back they owe us. Or debuct it from what we owe them.

Tell Canada to go ahead and leagalise weed like they tryed to do a couple months ago and go into isolationism again. Let the world problems be thier own. Everyone wants to bitch about the big bad U.S....

Fine pull all resources out of everywhere. Let them see just how bad we realy were. As for Sadam ..... Torture his ass for what he did to his own sons...

Actually Iraq does have missles, so does afganastan, back when the US was aideing them all. We gave them missiles which they presently use on our alli's in the middle east. Its quite ironic that we choose sides then discover we're on the wrong one then our ali's get hit with bombs with our flag on them though...

And they are neuculear and bi-chemical capable, they have been for a while, thats the whole issue with war, because they refuse the documents signed by the UN about the destruction of said weapons.

Iraq has been using chemical weapons against the kurds for years. The have some of the most advanced chemical weapons you've ever seen, not to mention the fact that we think they have nukes we just cant prove it yet.

Now that they do allow the un people again, no war on iraq, but Bush did already pick another country, Jemen "Or whatever it's written in english"...

tsss, let the war on terrorism go on...

/me snickers at what Learner said

heh heh, I see you're a bit more informed than many too. According to the Bible, God will keep his promise to Abraham and the jews shall always have a nation.

Isreal kicks arabic ass man. It's not just our aid that's keeping them afloat. They've got one hella well trained army. I did a bit of historical research and this is what I've found:

"On May 15 [1948] the armies of Egypt, Transjordan (now Jordan), Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq joined Palestinian and other Arab guerrillas who had been fighting Jewish forces since November 1947. The war now became an international conflict, the first Arab-Israeli War."

Did ya catch that? 6 Arab nations all attacked Israel the moment it was founded. And Israel beat their asses.

Another interesting thing I found out... It was the BRITISH the originally marched into palestine and began the proceedings to make Israel a seperate state.

Seems the US isn't alone in "policing" the world.

Well, I say let us stick with the military saying, "KILL EM ALL, LET GOD SORT EM OUT!" :+) ya Isreal is pretty bad ass.

Heh... Do research on the sunken USS Liberty...

Isreal's got power, your right. Thats why were alies with them. and SR, in policing the world, were the by far the most involved.
So some say that bush wants to invade so he can steal oil, anyone think this is true? personaly i have a fealing it is, not nececarily a bad thing though

Some other quick Israel facts:

Independence wasn't only time Israel was atacked by all it's neighbors. Check up 6 Day Way and Yom Kippur War.

Also, the arabs did have a chance to create a palestinian nation when israel was created. They declined, thinking they could destroy Israel and have the whole area.

I agree with ohfuk, and IMO oil is probably what Bush is after. BTW, here is a good representation of that ideea
