looking at this picture, you would think we were still in the run up to the war. but its a year later, and the morons still fly the "no blood for oil!" sign, have these people no imagination? or are they just so burned out they dont have the energy to paint a new sign?

http://ak.imgfarm.com/images/ap/WAR_PROTESTS.sff_CANU105_20040320200212.jpg

The whole troops die for oil thing is so old and tired. I'm sick and tired of hearing that garbage. If the US wanted more oil then it wouldn't spend 160 billion $ for at the one year mark - no oil at all.

How exactly do these people think we are going to gain oil from Iraq?

No to war?

1. I thought it was already over
2. We're a little too deep into it to just back out now
3. I agree about the crap about oil

Certainly agree with #2 and #3.

Simplistic slogans for simplistic people . . .

BATHE THE WHALES!

SAY NO TO TREES!

HOMICIDE IS MURDER!

Maybe the protests go on so that idiots like you can figure out what the war was REALLY about. In case you neglected to hear/read/see on the news, the WMD were not found, and the whole "Go to Iraq for the WMD" panic was nothing more than a poorly constructed lie to invade an oil-rich middle eastern nation. But of course, there will always be morons who advocate blindly going to the frontlines of a battle to die so that corporate interests can be appeased. Where do you fit in?

I was at a protest, and even though the official reason was to mark the anniversary of the war, I think the real reason for it was to express genral disgust with Bush's actions at the moment. it's important to remind the American public of what's happening, and it's also important to remember that even though the war is technically over, we still have a lot of troops there, and they are still dying, so the conflict obviously isn't finished with.

And there will always be morons who blindly cling to simplistic explanations for complex issues in spite of all logic and data to the contrary. It was "no blood for oil" back when Saddam invaded another country (in other words, when the war was clearly about kicking Saddam out of a country he wrongfully invaded). And it was "no blood for oil" this time, even though oil prices have gone through the roof since the war started. You'll probably be saying "no blood for oil" 20 years from now regardless of what happens. Talk about moronic.

"No blood for oil" is an especially ironic argument in light of the evidence that some UN officials were profiting from the "oil for food" program that gave all sorts of kickbacks to the murderous tyrant Saddam. Talk about blood for oil . . .

Havok - great photo - right on the money.

Lionel Hutz for president.

And there will always be morons who blindly cling to simplistic explanations for complex issues in spite of all logic and data to the contrary.

Logic and data... hmm... Like the fact that the entire UN body minus the US and Britain is skeptical about the existance of ANY WMD in Iraq? Like the fact that several top ex-aides of Bush have admitted that Bush just wanted to invade Iraq to finish the job his father never had time to end? Or maybe like the fact that the cheif UN Weapons Inspector and his team have said repeatedly that their thorough investigations have found nothing to even remotely suggest capabilties of making WMD in Iraq? It's morons like you who ignore the facts and logic, and proceed to blindly worship an equally stupid president.

when the war was clearly about kicking Saddam out of a country he wrongfully invaded
If you had known anything about Kuwait's invasion, you would know that Kuwait is an oil-rich nation in the middle east with vast reservoirs catering to greedy American oil corporations, and that Saddam's invasion would threaten the oil supply to the U.S. And since when is U.S. policy concerned AT ALL about so-called "wrongful" occupations of countries? Where was the Bush administration when thousands were being slaughtered in Taiwan in their fight for independance? Where was Bush when millions in North Korea, Iran, Sudan and the Ivory Coast suffered under oppressive governments and civil wars? Or did these countries simply not offer a high enough profit margin for the walking corporation that is Bush?

And it was "no blood for oil" this time, even though oil prices have gone through the roof since the war started.
Gee and I had totally expected that the minute the U.S. invaded Iraq, oil production would skyrocket 1000% in Iraq... Talk about stupid. Think a little: It'll take more than a month, than a year, than maybe even 10 years to get Iraq oil production to the levels it was at before the American led assaults on its soil. Oil prices are skyrocketing not because of Iraq, but because of increased demand from the bulging Asian market.

in light of the evidence that some UN officials were profiting from the "oil for food" program that gave all sorts of kickbacks to the murderous tyrant Saddam. Talk about blood for oil .
And who started the obviously doomed from the beginning "Oil for Food" program? Why, it was the U.S. government! Who would have thought that sending billions of dollars to a greedy dictator would have the money misused? It seems rather stupid to have slapped embargos on Iraq in the first place, as you have just pointed out, the only people who suffered for it were the Iraqi people, and not the wealthy politicians.

I find it extremely entertaining to read the brainless comments of pro-Bushers as I call them, who spaz over the supposed threat of terrorism some countries pose to the U.S., and thus justify invading those countries and murdering millions of people in the process. The greatest terrorist in the world is the U.S. at this moment, because any country that advocates world peace by invading a harmless country like Iraq is nothing more than an international bully. The world hates the Bush administration - it's a fact. You can always adopt the attitude that everyone in the world is wrong except for the Bush administration, that the entire UN is wrong, that the millions of voters in Spain, Britain, France, Germany and other countries are wrong, and that the widespread public disapproval of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq is wrong. But to argue that would be ridiculous. I don't see any of you pro-war protesters out there dying for your country, like the many thousands of American soliders had to do. I don't see any of you willing to throw yourself on the frontlines of a battle and exchange your lives for a few barrels of oil that the greed of the Bush administration has decided war is worth.

Wrong. The UN was very much in the belief that Iraq had WMD - that is why resolution 1441 was passed 15-0

Wrong again. Oil prices are high not because of demand - but because of supply rationing and increased profit taking by major oil companies.

..and thus justify invading those countries and murdering millions of people in the process.
Oh dear, wrong again. Fuzzy math by the sound of it.;)

Why shout simplistic slogans?

I dunno, I recall seeing a few

"Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve"
"God Hates Gays"
"Saddam on a Platter"
"Hippies Go Home"
"Support Our Troops"
"God Bless America"

It seems the other side of the political fence has plenty of experience with short slogans, as well. But, you know what? That's FINE! Honestly, do you expect people to walk around with 30-page position papers scrawled on their posterboard? Gimme a break.

Yes there are. But since I'm not one of the people making them I'm completely justified in pointing out their stupidity.

I was in Portland on Saturday and participated in a march where over 15,000 people attended.

There were old people, young people, professionals and radicals. I think the show of solidaritity is more a critisism of pre-emptive unilateral war based on lies.

Around the corner from the march, there was a small band of pro bush supporters who numbered maybe a dozen.

If people would speak to some of these anti war protesters I think you will find they aren't so stupid.

Oh? Do they say something different from the crap you guys post on here?

why does everyone think it was unilateral? We had like 40 countries helping us in this. Many of them were small, but they still helped. So what we didnt have the support of Russia and Germany, big fukin loss.

Frankly, every group will have idiots in it. There liberals that do stupid things, and there's an ewual number of conservatives who do equally stupid things.

I was also at the Portland, Protest...and some of the "Republican" signs read

" We Love Our Troops, We Love Bush, So Shut Up And Go Home! "

Wow...some good reasons!

hahahahahaha

Another slogan the Republicans use, sometimes when protesting Gays, is




wow, I wonder who these people support...?

Well, you can't pick your supporters, now, can you? And for the record, yes, I think these people are morons.

Actually there were only 30, & I don't know how racism comes into play. It was still the US who ultimately decided to invade iraq. They called the shots, they pushed the buttons, they rolled in the troops.

Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom and Uzbekistan.

We threatened countries to support us bud. The big ones didn't because they could survive without US trade, little ones would be hurt much more.

Spain was attacked because they supported us.

They are now pulling their troops out.

Japan, is having talks of bringing their troops home.

Countires were almost pushed to send over troops, and now they are realizing they are in danger, because the Iraq war isn't doing anything to make the world safer, from this so called terror, we are suppose to be fighting.

overdose, if spain was attacked for supporting us, why would the terrorists just not attack us?

Wow, because we have a lot of security (aka, airports, police), and Spain didn't.

Besides how do you know they aren't going to attack us?

We were supposed to be next? Right?
;)

so you admit that bush is doing a good job protecting us from terrorists?

The police, and air port security is doing a good job. Attacking Iraq isn’t. Besides Bush, I will admit has done an “OK” job at security on our planes. But he has failed to protect our allies. So in the mean time we have terrorist attacks on our quote “allies”, who we want to support us? Also, they said we might be next, after the Spain attacks. So no, I don’t think Bush has done a good job at attacking the organizations that may attack our allies or us.

Our security in our airports is not enough, and Bush isn’t doing enough. The security is a delay in something that could very well lead to a huge terrorist attack.

You think our planes are more secure?

Anyway that is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

so you dont think we will be attacked because we have massive security measures in place.

You also believe that we will be attacked because our security is horrifyingly insufficient to deal with the threat.

I dont recall the President threatening other countries to help us in the war. I just remember: You are either with us in this, or you aren't. And i would hardly call the UK, Spain, Japan, and Italy little countries.

And thanks Pepper for the list.

But he has failed to protect our allies. So in the mean time we have terrorist attacks on our quote “allies”, who we want to support us?

Oh, okay, now we need to spend more money to beef up Spain's homeland security too? No thanks!!!!!

:o

You just don't see that if Bush was properly fighting terror, these attacks most likely would have been prevented. I never said to beef up Spain's security; I said to attack the organizations that threaten our safety, as well as our allies. But with these attacks, it's all showing that we are truly, not fighting the "terror" that needs to be addressed in this "war on terror.

oh please! you are so obviously just towing the party line. you know nothing of "fighting terrorism". you would spend all of your resources going after OBL, who is just a figure head for the terrorist movement. then I suppose after you caught him you would say mission accomplished and go back to living with your head up your ass. even if we do catch Bin Laden, the threat will remain. then you will just go on and say we created a bunch of new terrorists with all of our action against them. you will always be bitching, there is no stopping that. what you bitch about will change as your original "complaints" dissapear, but you will always piss and moan about Bush becasue you dont like him.

The police, and air port security is doing a good job. Attacking Iraq isn’t. Besides Bush, I will admit has done an “OK” job at security on our planes. But he has failed to protect our allies. So in the mean time we have terrorist attacks on our quote “allies”, who we want to support us? Also, they said we might be next, after the Spain attacks. So no, I don’t think Bush has done a good job at attacking the organizations that may attack our allies or us.
I have to agree with OD...but I do also believe that capturing OBL will send a message to his followers. I just believe that capturing OBL should have happened before the Iraq war, but hindsight is 20/20.

In reality, unless we close the borders and erect an iron box around our country, I'm not sure we'll ever be 100% safe from any attack. The same can be said for any nation.

And, although I do not agree with the Bush Administration (on just about every issue) I do have to wonder that if Al Gore were in office when 9/11 occurred, where would we be now? Seriously - any thoughts?? It's probably safe to say, also, that we wouldn't have gone to war with Iraq and lost so many soldiers, money, etc. But, would we as a nation have been better off?

If gore was in office, I can guarentee you that no action would have yet been taken. there would have been a lot of threats and hot air, but no boots would be on the ground anywhere. We would still be looking for whatever it was taht we did to make the terrorists hate s so much and attack us, the UN would be running the show and still debating whether or not it was legal to invade afghanistan. the al qaeda training camps would still be pumping out terrorists like an assembly line in Afghanistan, Saddam would be sitting in his ivory tower, Irans nukes would still be unkown, Lybia would feel no need to give up its stash of WMD. N Korea would still be blackmailing us into giving them all sorts of free stuff every time they decided to mention nukes, it would have been a mess.

The population of the UK disagrees with the war, the move was political to keep relations with the US for fear they would lose them. Japan is pulling out now. France was reminded of the amount of trade we have with them and the revenue it brings in for them. Italy has given only a few hundred troops and there is talk of them pulling out. Whether they are big countries or not, their support is minimal.

If gore was in office, I can guarentee you that no action would have yet been taken. there would have been a lot of threats and hot air, but no boots would be on the ground anywhere.

Taking a guess that it could have been worse had we picked the other guy? That is the worst argument I have heard, you are almost admitting that Bush has screwed up badly.

If you truely believe that Bush has screwed up, then where is the harm in rescinding your support of him?

I was answering a question that someone asked. Saycricket asked our opinion on how life would be if gore won, so i gave it. it wasnt an argument. try reading through the post first next time.

True - for once I have to agree with Trav. (Damn!) :D
I didn't read any admitting by Trav that Bush has screwed up.
But it is curious to get others opinions on this issue.

I'm not sure Gore would have been the man for the job, knowing what we know now.

Here comes the FLACK!! :p

On Saturday, Mr Koizumi showed no sign of retreating. "We must never buckle under to terrorist threats," he said. "The war against terror is a long haul. We have to commit ourselves."

Because Spain had an election before we did. They saw an opportunity and took it and it paid off like they had hoped. The old leaders that cowered to the Bush administration were voted out. The new leaders are still very willing to continue the fight against terrorists, they are just strong enough to not feign support for the illegal invasion of Iraq so that they can be bribed with construction contracts.

This is evident not only by the vote, but the demonstrations that followed their attacks. As much as the right says that they are appeasing the terrorists (and in a round about way they are), I believe that they have showing that they also won't be bullied by an arrogant, self-serving U.S. administration more than anything.

So they have actually attacked us in a metaphorical sense. They are showing the people in this country that there are very serious doubts about the veracity of the reasons for invading Iraq all over the world. And Spain has shown the other "Coalition of the Willing" that you don't have to be strong-armed by the Bush administration any longer. Hence, the other nations that have actually put troops in Iraq are all either pulling them out or considering it. As for the other 30 or so "countries" (most the size of Rhode Island and having no military at all), if they weren't so reliant on U.S. handouts for survival, I don't think that they would be supporting the war anymore either.

Yeah, I'm sure the terrorists spend most of their time debating the veracity of the reasons for invading Iraq. :rolleyes:

anybody but bush, why would the terrorists want a government that was going to be tougher on them to be in charge?

Because precisely the way Bush's govt is "tough" with terrorists makes them stronger !
Terrorists need a fanatic antagonist to motivate their new recruits.

wait, we were talking about the spanish government right?

Bush was the weakest President when it came to countering terrorism. An nth amount of reports are coming out each month with each supporting the same fact: Bush failed America. When the Clinton adminstration gave the White House over to Bush, he was warned many times about the threat of a terror attack, and what did he do? He ignored it. Sounds like he was more concerned with planning his assault on Iraq than he was protecting American lives.

Here's a little newsflash for all of you, from a former Bush aide:
The government's former top counterterrorism adviser testified Wednesday that the Clinton administration had "no higher priority" than combatting terrorists while the Bush administration made it "an important issue but not an urgent issue." Richard Clarke told a bipartisan commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that "although I continued to say it (terrorism) was an urgent problem I don't think it was ever treated that way

OK, let me explain to you why you are wrong on all accounts. first, this guy, dick clarke, is just a turn coate liberal. first he comes out with this book, and says how important it is, well 2 years after he leaves office he decides to talk, coincidentally right at the time of the release of his book and 60 minutes interview and al that. then he says to the panel that under Bush terrorism wasnt the highest prority, but under clinton it was. WTF??? if you believe that, you are complete moron. I am sorry, but thats the only way to say it. if you believe a president who sits back and allows the WTC to get bombed, 2 US Embassies to get destroyed, and a US Warship nearly sunk, all by terrorists, with harldy a retribution agaisnt them has the fight agaisnt terrorism as his highest priority you are either very gullible or just a left wing apologist. and the funniest thing is the supposed plan left on W;s desk by clinton, with detailed plans to take out al qaida. LMAO. tell me, if clintons top concern was terrorism, why did he not just enact the plan? why pass it along? he claims becasue he didnt have public opinion behind him, well that makes public opinion his highest priority, not terrorism! glad to hear he has his prioritys :rolleyes: its just more bullshit to try and clear clinton and his goons of any resposibility for 9-11 or the free pass given to al qaida up to 9-11. This makes me so mad to hear this kind of bullshit from the liberal media and people like this guy just accept it without question. check this out: in the panel, they suggested military action should have been taken against the terrorist before 9-11. there is a word for that, preemptive. now tell me, what was the attack on iraq all you bafoons cry about? preemptive. do you really think a bush attack on afghanistan before 9-11 would have been any more warmly recieved then the attack on Iraq? I know all of you liberals will say yes, becasue your entire argument agaisnt the war is based on hindsight, but in reality you would have hit the streets and protested the killing of innocent civilians and the toppeling of a foreign government by imperialist american forces. the thing that pisses me off the most is the contradiction and hypocrisy. if any of you liberal come out in favor of a pre 9-11 premptive strike on afghanistan, and denounce the same exact thing on iraq, you are nothing but hypocrits. no amount of spin is going to change that. :hitout:

Can you imagine what would've happened if Bush launched an attack on Afghanistan before 9/11?? The international outcry would have been deafening. The liberal in this country would be protesting (no blood for poppy seeds!)

Bush absolutely should've been more active in anti-terrorism efforts pre-9/11. I just don't think it would've done any good.

You know this guy Clarke has been serving this country through 4 presidents, Reagan Bush Sr, Clinton and Bush Jr, to say he's a liberal?

LOL, his credibility has been destroyed simply by pointing out hi scontradictions. in one intervies he says there was no plan by clinton to fight terror, and in the next he says it was clintons highest priority. how can your highest priority not have a plan? its just so easily discredited but the liberal media sees fit to protect this guy becasue he is a tool in their quest to oust the president. if you do a little research, you will see the partisan lies this guy has spun. it was a personal thing, he didnt get all the authority he wanted, he got demoted, he had an axe to grind. just look into a bit at least, jsut dont believe everything you hear.

^^^^^^
Nice philosophy there: "If I don't agree with them, they must be a liberal". Almost thought you had something intelligent to post.

Trav I'm not in the habit of being self-contradictory and I consider myself mostly liberal. The truth is you overuse the term "liberal' and apply it to people you disagree with or don't like with little or no regard for their actual stand on issues. To you, the term is just another insult you can hurl in one of your vindictive tirades. I know you're capaple of the occasional intelligent post, but you just make yourself look bad by constantly calling people "liberal" just because you don't agree with them.

tell mem one person I have called a liberal that wasnt a liberal, and I never called drew a liberal, I asked if he was a conservative

I don't think you can tell if a person is a liberal by looking at their position on one issue. If you looked only at my views on gun control you would have to conclude that I was a conservative.

The point is that you you liberally (pun intended) apply labels to everyone, whether it's liberal, conservative, terrorist, or whatever. It's a very simplistic way of dealing with people, issues, and politics in general.

look smart guy, go look into this guy and what he has said in the past. he has contradicted himself over and over agian, a clearly liberal trait if there ever was one

You suggest that mevam should actually do some research on Clarke but in your original post about Clarke, you start out by saying:

OK, let me explain to you why you are wrong on all accounts. first, this guy, dick clarke, is just a turn coate liberal.

Unfortunately you don't explain why Clarke is a liberal or even why he's a turncoat. Maybe you can explain how being self-contradictory has anything to do with being liberal.

so you admit you cant find anyone I ahve called a liberal who isnt? (*waits for a slew of people to come forward and pronounce they are not liberals*)

I admit I didn't look for people you have wrongly called liberal because that's not the point I was making. I never said you wrongly called people liberal, I said you use labels way too much, and that it is an overly simplistic way to view complex issues and people. You called Clarke a liberal but said nothing to back up that rather suspicious claim.

Again Trav, people are not such simple things that can be so easily labelled, if you have learned nothing else on these forums you should have learned that by now.

Trav you say Clarke is an in closet liberal…

I think you believe that anyone who is against Bush is a liberal…when that isn’t true.

People in Bush’s own cabinet have turned against him…

John McCain
Richard Clarke

And that’s bad when any candidate does not have full support from his own party

Oh and both my Grandmother’s, and Grandfather’s, WHO ARE ALL REGISTERED Republican, voted for Bush in the last election, are utterly appalled…and are voting John Kerry…but thanks anyway.

ho hum....oh ya, its funny, becasue I dont remember kerry getting the endorsment of anybody in his party. but why bother with that when we can point out that bush has recieved criticism. so anyway, your right, bush is through, lets just innagurate president kerry now and forget the whole fomality of voting.

what is that supposed to be?

"its funny, becasue I dont remember kerry getting the endorsment of anybody in his party."

If you look carefully you can see that a lot of Dems have supported Kerry.

Wow, read your own posts.....you asked for the list...

LOL, grandma and grandpa overdose, democrat activists and a county clerk is not what I was looking for :rolleyes:

Dean, and almost all of the other democratic nominees have pledged for Kerry. If you look carefully at the list, you will see a lot of Democrats are in support of Kerry. No democrat has turned against him, unlike on Bush's side...

Funny...isn't it?

Disagreeing and turning against are different things. McCain's not going to vote against Bush. And by the way, he wasn't in Bush's cabinet - he's a senator.

I'm not sure why we're debating the issue of whether democrats will support the democratic nominee and republicans will support the republican nominee.

what about zell miller, democrat US senator, he came out and endorsed bush the other day
