Your naive and ignorant if you DON'T believe people like myself have held, and maintain criticism of Clinton's foreign policies.

But the fact remains that this is different than Kosovo, it's different than Desert Fox, and it's even different than the FIRST Gulf War. Your unwillingness to acknowledge this only proves how blinded you are by your desire to see this war.

The fact that you deny the hypocracy shown by the left makes me doubt your concern. Kevin, I know you don't like Saddam but you actions and Anti-war attitude supports that of Saddam. Do you disagree?

I disagree completely, because unlike yourself, many opposing the war can think and analyze on multiple levels. It's like saying "if you buy gas, you support terrorism." As cute and amusing as that line is, it's not all that true, and far too simplistic, wouldn't you agree?

First of all, there is NO doubt that he is.

Like Choimp said, maybe Iraq has decided American soldiers don't "count" in terms of Geneva.

You know that's not going to happen. Just look how hard we are trying to limit civilian casualties. Do you disagree?

I didn't say it will happen, but to blindly assume that it won't happen is ridiculous. Saddam's "best" troops have pulled back to Baghdad, they will do ANYTHING, I have no doubt. They will use civilians, they will play very, VERY dirty. It will be nearly impossible I think to get them without causing a considerable amount of damage.

I DO agree that the military has been cautious, I mean, about as cautious as you can be when basically throwing a large explosive into a solid structure. And much like GAsux said, I feel you can thank the peace movement for this caution. A few months ago the Bush administration wasn't "ruling out" WMD against Baghdad. Do you think if there wasn't such a global outcry against war, that our military would be acting with such strict concern? I doubt it.

We have in NO way violated the Geveva Convention. We have treated our prisoners very well. Do you disagree?

I'm not even TALKING about our prisoners or the fucking Geneva convention. Soldiers are soldiers. Our troops should NOT be submitted to anything cruel and unusual, but the bottom line is that they ARE soldiers, and they ARE at war.

Children don't know war. Babies don't understand the Geneva Convention. Half of Iraq's population is under the age of 15, to my understanding.

WHAT!? The reason we are in Iraq right now is because of one!!

1441? Cuz of the SCUDS that haven't been fired? Because of the WMD that haven't been found? Cuz of the bio-weapons and the gasses that haven't been found?

You hate the UN, and you likewise could care less if we abided by their decisions. The new found love and respect for the "sanctity" of the UN and global treaties is a joke. Youuse it for your own personal advantage now.

"How many men have we been glad to leave in places such as Pakistan in the war on terror?? We leave them there for interogation, why Ronnie???"

CONSPIRACY! CONSPIRACY!

Why lock men up in Cuba? Why interogate men IN Pakistan?

Hannity never loses a debate. How do you explain that?

How do I explain the wax in your ears?

I was hearing that way before I ever said anything about you supporting Saddam. The fact is, you ARE supporting Saddam if you are anti-war. If you are pro-war you are for the liberation of the Iraqi people from an evil tyrant.

Would we be doing this if 1. 9/11 had not happened, a 2. there were no natural resources there? When does the liberation of Sudan start? How about the liberation of Qatar, our alllies? How about Pakistan? North Korea? the Kurds? China?

There's a long list, sport. We better buy more guns and bombs.

If you are anti-war you're this, if you're pro-war your that. You should write for Sesame Street.
