Im not belittling them Henry, Im belittling anyone who wants to pretend that we have had all this wonderful support world wide, when its clear from the numbers that we were pretty much on our own in any real sense. Screw France, Russia, and Germany? Why? They would have been three really good allies to have had in this battle.


Of course france russian and germany would have been great allies, but they had their own political reasons for not supporting, not because they knew better or was nicer people living there.....I think we should ALWAYS try to drum up all the support we can before we EVER do such a thing, but IF they choose not too, it should NOT mean that we should jepordize our own integrity to make them happy.....sometimes we got to do what is best for OUR country and it's people.....

I will repeat McNamara's statement that led us down this discussion path:

We did not hold to the principle that U.S. military action . . . should be carried out only in conjunction with multinational forces supported fully (and not merely cosmetically) by the international community.

Do those of you still claiming that we had all of this 'support' not understand the words fully or cosmetically?  A nod from some country no one ever heard of does not constitute support by the international community.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Yes, because they don't like wasting their money or putting their troops in harm's way by invading sovereign countries that are no threat to them.

...they knew of the possible threat that Saddam had....Just because we did NOT have the backing of france, russia and germany...and we ALL know they had political and financial risks involved to have the BALLS to stand up against this man....

Saddam was no threat and it's generally not a good idea to go to war to appease a bunch of little scaredy-cat pussies.

I have a picture of the kids in front of that same car (or maybe another one if they have more than one :biggrin:) I don't know where it was headed, but it was parked in a hotel parking lot.
