World Domination II - Britain Makes war on Iraq?

Source: Thetip, 2002-09-02

Candidate: Big Government

Oil Prices have reached their highest in a year while Britain's foreign secretary joins the threat-language saying: "It would be wildly irresponsible to argue that patience with Iraq should be unlimited, or that military action should not be an option".

Then Tony Blair comes up with: "Let it be clear that there can be no more conditions, no more games, no more prevaricating, no more undermining of the U.N.'s authority. ... And let it be clear that should the will of the U.N. be ignored, action will follow."

But is the UN a sovereign nation? Does the UN declare war and enforce international law? Are these duly elected representatives of the people of any country?

The joint US and Brittish threat of war over Oil Prices underlines the correlation between war and oil - significantly underlined by both GW Bush and Dick Cheney's massive personal involvement in the oil and defense industries.Meanwhile, back in the Senate, Tom Daschle, the supposed democratic opposition continues the rhetoric of war on the Democratic side: "I'm more concerned about getting this done right than getting it done quickly," said Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota. This dual-party support for this war without cause underlines the falsity of the duality between Republicans and Democrats who both have the same things on their minds - power, money, oil, war.But Daschle's reluctance to move quickly on the Iraqi matter underlines a pretty good political move on his part. If the Republicans can force a war before the next election, they can continue their attempt to make the American People ignore the massive failure of the current administration both in foreign and domestic policy. But if Daschle's stalling game works, the Democrats have a chance at solidifying their hold on both the House and Senate, hopefully making Bush a Lame-Duck.But even a Lame-Duck president and a Democratic Congress can land us in un-necessary wars. Only the cry of the American Poeple in firm opposition to war can stop the madness on the Hill.

for goodness sake the war is about oil but not as
most people make it out to be.

i think
the us needs the draft. if what i'm hearing is
true, young soldiers just can't take the heat put
on them when they are shipped over to
iraq.

what in the world were they
thinking when they joined the
miliatary?!!!

young people don't want war
because they are too chicken to fight and bear it
out. they've been living too soft in the good ole
usa.
i know i have too but if i was drafted to
fight, i'd fight. i'd rather fight than chicken
out and go home disgraced.

that's worse
than not fighting--chickening out. what a bunch of
whiny faced wimps! go to iraq and don't come back!

i think that the english were strongly against the
war from the beginning. no big news. however,
england has other issues that factor to why the
reluctantly oppose the war as well. for one thing,
the nation is involved with the european union
where germany, russia, and france oppposed the
war. england just wants to be in good favor here.
another thing is that fear caused most likely by
what happened to spain makes the nation not want
to support the war. any nation, england included,
does not want to have a war where they would have
to make any sacrifice and support man-power wise
and money-wise unless drastic actions occur
towards that nation. so it's not whether they
support the war or not, it's whether what is in it
for them when the war is victory or defeat. nobody
wants the latter.

i think it all should have been sorted and dealt
with at the first gulf war. many people are losing
their lives, for what, unfinished buisness? please
for everyones sake, get it over and done with now,
finish it all off. i'm not saying stop it all, i'm
saying get in there and finish it properly!

would just like to say that 2 good friends of mine
who has just got back from iraq one said that it
is hell over there he was shot at a number of
times, he got sent home because he said an iraqi
stabbed him in his leg persoanlly i think he did
it himself to get out of there. the other just
went on a rampage stealing cars etc which i did
not approve of but hey there all kids over
there.

when asked if we get to see
anything of the "war" rob said "you get to see
f--k all!", when i asked him why do you think we
went to war his answer "oil!"
