Israel shelled U.N. facility...........

[strider12]

they had coast line and oil pipe lines, duh. thats why saddam invaded them to begin with and we went in at the behest of the UN (our oil comes from closer sources, middle east oil generally goes to europe)

Exactly.

Ok. And what was our interest in Kuwait other than now they have McDonald's, Walmart etc. which they didn't have before 1991?

Gee, I don't know..maybe the Saudi oil fields Iraq was eventually going after.

it was 50 years ago and the matter has long been settled

why cant people get this? what should we all of a sudden turn coat and support a mother ****ing terror group because of what happened in a war zone (also dont forget this was during the vietnam war, lots of messed up politics going on)

not to mention the leaders on both sides responsible for any of this are either dead and rotting or about to be

We have done alot more than support them, we created them,trained them,equipped them. I agree the USS LIBERTY is long since passed.
Our giving aid and comfort to the enemy however remains alive and well.
The U.S. Government has betrayed we the people on so many levels it is infuriating to say the least. Not to mention we have forced Israel to play footsy over the land for peace Oslow accords when we should have allowed them to resolve the matter without our input and political pressure.

You believe this could've been accomplished? Do terrorists also hate us for our freedoms?

Iraq wanted the Saudis to suffer for them financing Iran during the Iran-Iraq war.
But my point was that Iraq attacked the Stark and didn't have to answer for it, like someone said about the Israelis and the Liberty,
Your earlier post made it sound like we started desert Storm because of the Stark attack.

Edit: Iraq didn't want to pay back the loans the Saudis gave then during that war, The Saudis backed Iraq, not Iran. Fuzzy memory.

we arent using the same system

the american government has catered to the least common denominator for a while now

the american revolution happened over a 3%tax increase for all intents and purposes. folks these days dont bat an eye at the IRS ****ing them over every day or the unaccounted for and rampant expansion of the federal government

business as usual, capitalism and individual choice is going out the window with a whimper so to speak
