Well the 'war' has begun
« on: 20 March 2003, 22:22 »
I'm sure you've all heard by now.  Personally I think this isn't a war at all, it's a flat-out invasion.  Anyway, no need to be dejected, in fact, lets's sing a song instead!

(Sung to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it...")

If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistanis looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.
 
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.
 
It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me
'Cos it'all the proof I need
Bomb Iraq.
 
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
And he tried to kill your dad,
Bomb Iraq.
 
If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding that ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.
 
Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

And remember, don't watch the liars that are CNN, watch Al-Jazeera instead (bad quality, in Arabic, but that's going to change as Al-Jazeera will be launching an English channel that will broadcast in the UK and USA)

From what I remember, there was this thing called The Internet, but if that was true people would get news from there. So the Internet must just be another conspiracy. Nevermind, I dont know Arabic, so its a bit hard to watch.

And that is the absolute and undeniable truth! I'm glad there are Americans out there that don't buy Bush's cheap propaganda! Right on!

btw, it isn't cheap propaganda. i can't imagine what information you are being fed is close to reality...

about the song: what a great song! i laughed as i was reading it, though, it's a shame that if you read it in the non-lyrical form, it is quite stupid (aww....*gasp*, i said something was stupid, don't take offence anyone)

there's nothing new to be said here. i like the song but not the words--not like anyone will really care what a 'venomous' conservative capitalist thinks though...

I'm going to reply to you with a question and I would like a direct answer on that:

Q: Where were the mighty U.S.A back in the '80s when Saddam was throwing chemicals on Kurds and Iran?

BTW, I would also like some answers on who exactly it was that armed Saddam with chemical weapons and biological agents AND who was Saddam's greatest ally during the war against Iran (again in the 80s)?

Don't worry, I know the answers. I also know about the US's interest in the Middle East.   ;)  

I don't know what kind of bullshit they're feeding you up there, but I would like to see you get the facts straight!

An answer please. Come on..

hmm...considering i was -7 years old in 1980, i can't really tell ya off hand. my memory of that period of time seems a little fussy

but i'd be willing to bet that the U.S.A was in the Unites States, on the N. American continent

hmm, like i said, i don't really remember, seeing as how i wasn't alive, but i'm pritty sure it was the US, because IRAQ wasn't a threat back then. no one could have known that Saddam would be an insane bastard

should we bring up hitler in europe?

Wow! How's that for a straight answer! Thank you for answering! The rest of you can draw your own conclusions....      

EDIT: Nobody armed Hitler unlike Saddam Husein and the Mudjahedin in the 1980's or Pinochet in Chile who were ARMED by the Americans. Again, open some books, read, get the facts straight and then come back here to post such rubbish! Perhaps then you could come out of this American-suburban-puritanistic nirvana..

America armed both Iraq and Iran they were hoping they would kill each other, when Iraq found out they used a biological weapon.

Cool song.  :D

The Hitler comparison.  :rolleyes:

We did stand up to Sadam when he invaded Kuwait.

Sanctions effectively neutralised him and stopped his weapon programmes, etc.

Unlike 1938 the military force existed to do so.  The "Stand up to Hitler " thing - the question at the time was "Stand up to him with what?"

After the Munich agreement Britain started to arm itself at a rate of knots.  We expected war in 1942 and were preparing for it.

The "smoking gun" we were promised, several times, has never materialised.  They stopped trying to justify it and went ahead anyway, disregarding democratic institutions on the way in the name of Democracy.

Cant.
