Considering that the main headline on both CNN and MSNBC states that there is heavy fighting with the Republican Guard near Baghdad, I find it hard to believe that someone would need a link posted to point out the obvious.

Why would we even invade Baghdad? Why not encircle it, cut it off, and let the Republican Guard and top leaders realize that we aren't going away, and that their only choice is to surrender or die?

This demand for links is getting out of hand. I'm witnessing threads on here where people are asking for links for no other reason than to inconvenience people. Surely you know how to do a search or can at least read the latest news headlines. Don't make people do your research.


Search!
So you can't provide any?

Just "what COULD be the beginning . . . " BLA BLA BLA


I do Know how to do a search. The topic's poster obviously doesn't.

It would be a lot easier to post a link than type this post, but I won't do it. I refuse to post links for people anymore.

Instead, I'll make people research the info themselves, and if they want to call me a BS'er, I'll leave it to them to prove it.

Don't forget that I never said the battle has begin. In fact, I posted another thread asking if this current resting period is the calm before the storm.

And no, I won't provide a link to that thread.

And BTW, I do agree that this poster jumped the gun by saying that the battle for Baghdad has begun. I don't know if this is the start of it or not. Sounds like most troops are still sitting around waiting for orders.

thanks for agreeing with my main point (poster jumped the gun - it's just a big battle) - and I will continue to call BS on unlinked incredible info posted as fact.

You are beyond pathetic.

You cant even post anything coherent on topic without attacking someone. Let me guess, you're a mindless Bush supporter.

The Pentagon has said repeatedly that they did not want to participate in any siege type combat. They want to go in a take control so they can get aid to the people of Baghdad. Any siege would just hurt the civilian population even more.

Sure "like that" . . . you're catching on. Now why don't you edit your first post to include it? It is CUSTOMARY to link here.

Now that you linked, I have a question for you . . .

How does "U.S., Republican Guard Fight Near Baghdad" = "The Battle For Baghdad Has Just Begun!"?

IF you can explain this, I will stop harassing you.
If you can't, perhaps you should consider editing either your topics title or first post to explain what the heck you mean.

"Mindless individual" . . . good then we're agreed on something.

I don't know what kind of sick American would wish harm to our troops.

I am NOT one of them and every post where I commented on this I wish ONLY the VERY BEST for out troops. I am not an idiot that wants them kept in harm's way when there are perfectly good alternatives that our coalition didn't consider to bring them home.

Edit: What do you mean by "gay"?

I'd HATE Gore if he bungled this war this badly.

This I must hear. What are those alternatives? Please be specific on how it would insure that Iraq did not have and would not just rearm with banned weapons.

Alternative to continuing the war . . .


Cut and pasted from another thread - there is more if you read further
Since the Iraqi prople have NOT risen up against Saddam we shouldn't expect reprisials if we left right now.

However, I propose a different scenario - since we are now there, send a major force into Baghdad - find the WMD and PROVE to the rest of the world that Saddam HAS WMD - take over Iraqi TV ands show his own people the WMD . . . then go BACK to the UN and argue for a United Nations effort with Arab soldiers to liberate Iraq.
I am sure there are more .

LOL Put yourself in an Iraqi civilians shoes for a second... Your in a country with a asshole leader who kills his own people when they disagree with him. The US and Brits march in to kill the SOB but yet the asshole has his execution squad all over the country killing anyone who tries to rise up against them? Would you honestly want to rise up against saddam. Most of them aren't properly armed to rise up anyways. They do and Iraqi troops start shooting them? I can honestly say i'd probably go about my business and ignore the US presence if i was in their shoes wouldn't you?

Gotta hang my hat with Red on this one (my GOD the world is turning up-side down).

Even IF we did totally bungle this war, I don't think it would really be apparent this early unless it was something like forgetting to bring the gas and ammo and we were all still stuck in Kuwait.

I will say getting an objective handle on the bigger picture does seem to be more difficult with news dispatches coming in every ten minutes of a 24 hour news cycle.
