You said more than a mouth full. What's strange is that there are more Americans that support taking out Sadam in the polls, yet all that I see is the people protesting it on TV. It makes it look like the majority of people are against it in America. C ya later. Be alert and careful tomorrow. For any of you that are in the military in any way on this board you are the shizzles.

I never been to Ca so I cant speak on that, but I can say here in Germany things are getting very intense.....I have to work crazy shifts now....last night I did a 4pm to 1am shift where I had to patrol my 2 buildings with a flashlight making sure everything was normal and clear....there are armored vehicles and hummers with large guns such as the m60 helicopter machince gun driving around the base inside and out....and a couple at the front gates.....

Yea we have dropped bombs and many at that on bagdhad incase you didnt know that was like a final warning.....get out while you can because we are serious.....next waves will be the big boys....you know the b52 bombers....this past time it was just stealths...the b52 is massive and can hold a 20,000pound bomb per wing....so imagine the destruction of the 12 we are sending in if Saddam doesnt answer......

for those of you in California, this anger and frustration is much more real on the east coast, I was 15 miles outside of manhattan when the towers fell, so a terrorist threat is extremely real when i know some on that was killed, I am not linking Saddam to Osma, but I am saying on the fact of terrorism being right here right now, nowe just some thing you see on CNN, when you see it happen you will have an extremely different view on the USA's approach to terrorism

the reason you people protesting against the war is it makes better tv

if alls you saw was people for the war would you really sit and watch the news or

change the chanel. and they really dont support saddam they just think this is somehting new (which its not)and that bush ids rushing into this. this has been talked

about since clit-ton was in office. everyone says its over oil and it maybe(some)

but it more over getting ride of saddam so WE dont have to worry about him and his

weapons and to make a better life for the iraqis.

About 8 miles from my house there are protestors in San Francisco sitting out in the streets. They said on the radio earlier that they wanted to try and hurt the economy by affecting the business activity that occurs in the areas that they were at in San Francisco. It's like they are trying to hurt the U.S., much like the terrorists running into the twin towers were trying to affect American business. Not to say they are terrorists, but it's like they want all people to suffer, because they are not happy. I agree with you. This is not something new. Sadam has been playing word games with us for the last 10 years. He says he will allow inspectors in, and then when the inspectors want to look in certain areas he will not allow them to. I had a teacher today at my Community college in California that was ofcourse against the war. He said that even if we only get rid of 4 biological weapons a year we could eventually eliminate all the weapons. This ofcourse is not true, because Sadam could create over 4 new biological weapons a year by using reproduction, and bacteria and viruses can reproduce very quickly. Every comment that I made was ignored by the teacher and seemed to outrage the other students. I'm getting tired of this. It has happened to me all through high school and college. The next time a teacher asks the class if we want to discuss anything political I'm going to say no, because I know they will only show their side and push their agenda. Ohhhh, by the way, that was a pretty slick modification that you made to Clit-ton's name.

those protests trying to "hurt the economy" have got to be the stupidest thing ever. That's like having a walkout of school to protest a major cut in funding that will cut days off the schoolyear.

I am 19 and yes I get paid in dollars, because Im on a US military base...I have nothing to do with being German, paid in German, I just live in the country of Germany. I make 7.00$ hr for this....I work 4pm to 12am alone no one there to tell me what to do....so basically I sit and watch Tv then patrol the whole area for 15minutes and call the front desk/gate and say everything is clear.

heh, my local school board had the teachers go on strike in teh middle of last year.

The students organized a walk out and went to the legislature building (like the state captiol) and protested... I also walked out... My teacher asked me if i was protesting against teh teachers union too... I looked him in the eyes and said "no. I'm protesting for al onger lunch hour" and i went home...

I bought a set of planet audio 6.5" component speakers and hooked them up to my mini system in my room, about sixty watts per channel. Wow. They sound pretty good. The woofers aren't even in an enclosure and they sound good. The tweeters sound slightly harsh, but I think they'll sound alright once they are in my car with my subs. Just thought I'd let you know. Do you know if their subs are any good?

i dont think anyone likes war but what do theses people think will hAPPENED later on when saddam deicides to use this stuff or sell it to someone who wants to use it on us look at what hes done to his own people. when was it in 98 or 99 when he used some kind of gas and killled like 5000 of his own people (think it was a whole town)

and if he or someone he sells this stuff to uses ti on us and people are runnig around crying saying"why,why,WHY!?!?" like when they hit on 9-11 then they would have said they should have taking him out. look at whos proteseting liberals (im sure)

im not saying i like war but this has been comig for a while lets get him out and get it over with and move on to find other threats.no matter who believes what we all need to make this world better, and although we can only make our lil part of it better it takes govs to make the rest better. and sometimes it calls for drastic measures.

in my point of view we live in a really fukked up world with all the weve com ein the passed 100yrs we are worse off now then we were then. yeah yeah it better but it si worse. the wild west wasnt the wild west. today makes it look like a cake walk bake then.

glad someone caught the clit-ton thing
