SkinWalker Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 The ramifications on the risks felt by soldiers in Iraq could go either way, though I suspect the violence will drop a bit. I doubt that the attacks will cease, however. They might even increase a bit before dropping to a lower rate as what loyalists are left still have the motivation to act on their loyalties. Of equal concern is how the capture will affect American politics. It's likely that this will be seen as a Bush victory rather than a U.S. Army one. Even now, he's on television praising troops and taking obvious advantage of good campaign press. I think that it's better that the Saddam Hussein capture came now, in 2003, than later in 2004 for Democrats. That gives the public a little more time to recover and see the issues a little more plainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 It's welcome news that a madman such as Saddam Hussein is captured. Justice has finally come for the friends and families of Iraqi victims. Still, though, the U.S. is far from finished over in Iraq. I fully expect more violence and bloodshed before this is over.

ZBomber Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Originally posted by SpecialForces I think we should interogate him, and if he doesnt talk, we should tie him up for the people of Iraq to beat. doesnt have to be in that order..... mwahahahahaha.... I like the way your mind works. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Yeah, i wonder what they will do to him now... its obvious they will interogate him. But why would he talk? He has nothing to lose. Hes lost a whole country, he has nothing except the clothes on his back. There are still gonna be the rebels and the suicide bombers. Thats why I worry for my brother-in-law.... Yeah, i know a guy who will be going soon too. And your right, this morning there was a possible car bombing somewhere in iraq.. but there not sure. People are shooting guns, and can hear explosions and stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 I believe a sentiment of revenge will get to the loyalists and make the violence climb up a bit. I believe this was timed by the administration somehow so they can have the support of more people. It's somekind of political strategy that the Bush administration is probably using. It's just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_One Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Hang on. Where are the weapons? I thought that's why we went to war? Not to capture some bearded man. Now we have Saddam - but there are still hundreds of factions fighting the coalition in Iraq (plenty of them not loyal to Saddam) who want a piece of the pie, and hate the West just as much as he does. And the Saddam loyalists will probably just fight harder now. The fact of the matter is we went to war on the basis of a lie - now we've ****ed up a country and a region, arguably, even more than it was before - and got a bunch more people to hate us. And now we have captured a bearded man - a man once supported by the US government, no less. Result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UN did not find that Saddam was possessing Weapons of Mass Destruction. What gave Bush the right to attack? Like you said Rich, The loyalists will fight harder now and we can also expect further attacks in the future. America went in to stop Saddam, for what main concern? Oil. America went in to stop this tyrant. Does this mean America will go into stop Mugabe in Zimbabwe? No. It is all about the concern for oil. The financial end justifies all means. This does not mean I am in favour of Saddam's dictatorship. I'm glad to see him out of power but what gives America the right to invade Iraq?

I mean, he had like 3 months before the war started to dispose of them. Remember, Bush asked him to give him that report that proved that there were no WMD, it was due in about 15 days... not to mention lots of talk about war before that. Anyways, im not saying he had the weapons, but he might have. Saddam could just admit he had them. People have always hated the west, remember 9-11? Even if the WMD were made up, I think someone like Suddam should have been removed. He killed his own people, and tortured people if they just said something about him he didnt like. At least you guys can type stuff against Bush. They couldnt say anything about Suddam. The Iraqis are overenjoyed over there! If bush lied, it will come out in the end. He will need to explain his real reasons for invading Iraq sooner or later. What are you "mad" about? So what if Bush lied.. there are too many possibilties and none of really know the answeres...

He's tyranny is just as bad, if not worse in terms of violence to Zimbabweans as Saddam's was to Iraq. Originally posted by lukeskywalker1 The Iraqis are overenjoyed over there!

So what if Bush lied.. there are too many possibilties and none of really know the answeres... Iraqis are overjoyed. Hold on, we are watching the news from the perspective of media from WESTERN countries. Of course the media aren't gonna be showing loyalists to Saddam demonstrating that they are prepared to die fighting against America because this just sparks more worry and Bush wants the perspective that what he did was right. But as you said lukeskywalker, there are too many unanswered questions. I'm not saying that he should've been left in power. I'm saying that it wasn't America's (Bush's) place to invade on terms of possessing WMD which weren't proven. As I said earlier, the main concern has to be the oil.

Its obvious the loyalists are not happy As I said earlier, the main concern has to be the oil. I dont like to think that we (bush/america) would go that low... they could have made a deal or something. Its possible that we did invade because of the oil, but if thats the real reason then I feel it could have been delt with better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
