Soxplosion Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Theyre just showing Iraqi civilians welcoming the American liberators on the TV. Men and women are dancing in the streets and troops are giving candy out to people. They showed a soldier cutting a painting of Hussein off of the wall and then an Iraqi man jumps up and starts beating Saddams ugly face with a shoe. It makes me happy to see this. It kinda shows that we are doing the right thing and that people there do support us and they also hate Saddam. This is just another reason for protesters to shut up. If Iraqi civilians actually liked Saddam and they had never been violated by the tyrant, then protesters could talk. But they obviously dont and they have been violated (Halabja, 1988, thousands died in an attack of VX and mustard gas) so why should we complain? They have to live with that thug, we dont. They know how horrible this man really is. Now theyre showing soldiers talking with Iraqi and it just warms my heart. I wish the best to both the Iraqi civilians and the American troops fighting for their liberation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Don't have access to a tv right now, everyone in the office has the radio on though. If this is the case its great news. I have all along believed the majority would support the US in this, but they could never show their feelings with a dictator like Saddam in charge. Still, I don't know if we see both sides, so I'll wait till later dates in the war, but i'm loving what I'm hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we don't see both sides. The American media makes a field day on censoring what they show us. Still, it is nice to see weakening resistance. Maybe we can get this f***ing war over with.

Better then the complete lies that Al jazari continues to publish. For god sakes, when we had troops 150 kilometers into Iraq and they were watching our feed, they were still telling the people that we have yet to enter Iraq. Then they say we bombed schools and hospitals, pure crap. The propagenda campaign is something, but isn't it a government that typically does it, not a freaking TV station. I know Tv stations have motives, but in the case of the US, they kind of go with what they are told in situations of the war. The key is, there were not major protests in the Middle East today, after they got out of Mosque which is a great sign that the people believe that Saddam deserved this.

Soxplosion Posted March 21, 2003 Author Share Posted March 21, 2003 They looked pretty welcoming to our young boys and they didnt seem to like Saddam too much. These are the people were doing this for. Were not doing this for us, we are doing it for them. And since they support us, the protesters should just shut up. They get to live in a free country yet they still complain of our attempts to liberate someone who doesnt have that freedom. Im sure if the protesters lived under Hussein they wouldnt be able to wait for our coming either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleM23 Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Well while it's nice to see a positive to this war, its almost certain that there will be negative reprocussions as a result of it. Before we all get on Cloud Nine and tell the protestors to shut up and what not, this ain't over... We're going to have to live with the consequences of these actions for a very long time. And yes, I will be protesting this war tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 Then they say we bombed schools and hospitals, pure crap. I haven't been that naive since I was 6. Of course our bombs only fall on the right places and kill the right people. Peace out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted March 21, 2003 Share Posted March 21, 2003 I agree that people have their own opinion and can make their opinion known, but I also think if you are gonna live in this country you gotta support its decisions. I find it funny how all these anti-war protestors, at least in Chicago, think Bush is ignoring all American's plea. They are suggesting that a good majority of Americans are against this. Although I agree some American's are against it, I also believe a good majority is either for or indifferent to it. Only difference is pro-war protests aren't happening all over. People see 5,000 people or so protesting and think, "wow, that is a lot". Well, what about the remaining millions of people? One question I want to see asked though is this: are people against war in general or just this war against Iraq? BTW, I just saw the film showing Iraqi people ripping Hussien pictures down and greeting US soliders with open arms. sure that can be a bit biased, but biased or not, it clearly happened.

Nothing is perfect, civilians die in war, but don't lie and say we hit Hospitals and schools instead of Saddams places (Talking about Al Jazari. These weapons are incredibly accurate that the military is using today. This is like no war of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone see that kid. Man, seeing that stuff or well in this case hearing it on the radio just made me feel great. Of course its got to make those soldiers putting their life on the line out their really feel good too. In my mind they are doing the right thing, everyone else can think what they want, but I stick to my thought that Saddam was a dictator, that controlled his people and forced violence and poverty on them and they are finally going to get to experience the freedoms that everyone is entitled to.

They're occuring Molto..... although you have to have CSPAN to view them..... and they're not even on CSPAN's 1 or 2 channels..... the channels that they are on aren't even available to most cable TV subscribers. Having said that, I think it's funny watching the hypocrites in action anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleM23 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I don't see why blocking traffic on a couple street throws everyone into such a hissy fit. Jesus Motherf***ing Christ.

Parade routes are set-up specifically for the expeditious movement of emergency vehicles. Additionally, extra police and fire personnel, along with the necessary paramedics and ambulances are available..... before the parade starts..... in anticipation of parade goers or members of the neighborhood which the parade route passes through falling ill. What happened yesterday in downtown Chicago takes none of this into account and creates a dangerous situation for all the unfortunate victims of circumstance which happen to be in the protest area. Why do you think months are spent specifically for the planning of a parade event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleM23 Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 think of the minutes your way cost those victims face it you are wrong sorry mm What victims? All anyone can come up with are little hypotheticals as to why a bunch of pissed off people shouldn't be allowed to march in a street? Sorry, I don't see the argument. I figure most of it is just because no one likes to see anti-war rallies because obviously all us pacifists are Satan Incarnate and have nothing better to do with our time than to plot schemes to destroy America from the inside. Freedom of speech is mean to be expressed, not just appreciated. What can I say? We all feel sorry for the poor old guy who unfortunately had a hypothetical heart attack and lives on Lake Shore Drive but we're going to send thousands of young Americans and innocent Iraqis to their graves.

It was all over the news last night in Chicago that police and fire personnel were diverting ACROSS THE CITY because of the protestors. There is nothing "hypothetical" about it. This caused a problem which, when all the "if's" are taken into account, from the very minor to the absolute worst, could have been catastrophic.
