Now I'm curious to know if I'm even going to have a job in the next 48 hours, due to all of this. The government, at any time can "lock-down" the shipyard, whether we're in there working or not!

So Saddam has 48 hours to get outta Iraq?

I know of a good way to settle this whole thing.
At High Noon...Bush and Saddam can meet at the O.K. Corral for a gunslinging showdown.
Just the two of them.
(We wouldnt need all the Army & stuff, they can come back home.)

The man left standing gets to stay home & have whiskey.

In the Islamic world, there was near-unanimous opposition to the United States and its closest military ally Britain.

Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation said diplomatic efforts should continue.

"We cannot accept the notion that diplomacy has run its course and we believe at this very important time what is needed is to enhance diplomatic efforts," the Foreign Ministry said.

Syafii Maarif, head of the 30-million-strong moderate Muslim Muhammadiyah group, called Bush, Blair and Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar war criminals.

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said war could be "disastrous for the world" by making the world body superfluous.

Mahathir, whose country of 24 million people is 55 percent Muslim, said people in Muslim countries were "very angry."

"All they care about today is to seek revenge, because you kill my people and we kill your people and that will destabilize the world," he said. "War against Iraq will not help anybody."

Iraqi ambassador to Malaysia Qais Subhi Al-Ya'aqubi was defiant.

"There's a bigger chance for President Bush to step down," he said. "Let him step down because the Iraqi people and President Saddam are one body and we will fight, we will resist and we will prevail."

Philippines Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Lauro Baja said a war would increase the risk of attacks by Islamic rebels in Southeast Asia.

AMERICANS...

In the long-run, you are going to regret this War.
You are going to regret your foolish actions of electing
and empowering known War Criminals.

Trying to push Democracy upon those who
do not want it is a mistake.

Every war is regrettable, but in some cases war is unavoidable, inevitable. Regardless of what the decidedly-ignorant pacifists of the world have talked themselves into believing, we did not ask for this war.

Here are a few basic data concerning oil that are insufficiently considered. Using round figures, Iraq is producing 2 million barrels of oil every day, which at $30 per barrel brings in $60 million. If all the restraints that survive the 1991 war were eliminated, the rise in production of Iraqi oil is projected to 4 million barrels per day. Assuming the same value per barrel, that would mean an increase to $120 million per day.

Dwell on something so inconceivable as to occur only to French fantasists: The United States a) confiscates Iraq's oil reserves, b) proceeds instantaneously to increase production to the maximum, c) actually pocketing a net of $30 per barrel — we'd be talking about $40 billion per year. The estimated cost of the U.S. military offensive is $100 billion. So that even assuming such oil confiscation/production/sale were effected, it would still require more than two years merely to reimburse the cost of the military action. We today purchase about a half-million barrels of oil per day from Iraq, $15 million. To invest $100 billion to protect a $15 million daily investment would require a zaniness difficult to ascribe to such as Messrs. Bush and Rumsfeld, who have been men of affairs.

I think that Bush does exactly the same thing as Bin Laden did.

Exept Bush has command over the most powerful nation in the world, and the other one is a terrorist.

Bush = Osama = Saddam = Blair = ALL FUKD UP!

hehehe.

So if no connection, why then the HIGH alert for terrorism now? Someone explain that one to me.

Bush=Bin Laden??? Hmmm...This is interesting. Now let us be realistic. That is just pure craziness. Bush decides to stand up to this nasty individual Sadaam and free his people(finish the job that we should have finished in 91)and he gets compared to a madman who organized the slaughtering of 3,000 innocent people in New York City.

You know what I say? Any tiny thread of evidence suggesting a link between Sadaam and Bin Laden's people is enough to warrant invasion of his country. These people must be dealt with severely. That's just the way I see it.

Simon, so you're saying if we just lay off the terrorists they'll just get tired and forget about us. Slack up again like we were before 9/11? Leave them alone and they'll go away.
