But Iraq wants to help

Post #9,943 by brettj 9/20/01 5:29:28 PM Reply	But Iraq wants to help Saddam Hessein has just said that he will cooperate if the U.S. asks for help. (as seen on CNN 10 minutes again) P.S. Please don't shoot the piano player. I'm just reporting what I heard.

I can just see it now - the U.S. is flying across Iraqi airspace, when suddenly they are painted by a whole shitload of missile sites that have been kept dormant until now. Scenarios like this keep me about this far from pissing my pants over the whole mess. I do have to admit a certain urge just to nuke the whole mideast and be done with it, despite how bloody wrong that answer is...

That's what I heard, not necessarily what I believe. I do think we are going to have to let people/countries prove that they want to rid themselves of the fear terrorism brings. Their actions will have to coincide with their words.

Post #9,981 by brettj 9/20/01 8:35:18 PM Reply	So you think they have some information then? Even if it implicates people in their own country? I'm curious as to what information/dis-information he has. What harm can come from asking Iraq what help they might want to provide? Please don't flame me. I'm just asking somewhat hot questions, not defending or supporting any stance here.
