Is this US proposed attack/invasion/takeover of Iraq being called a war by CNN for domestic propaganda purposes or do I misunderstand the current US usage of the term war, e.g., war on drugs?

Well, the US media is primarily run by liberal Jews. Flame away.

wow, way to be hitler jr. you [censored] piece of [censored].

second of all, most Jews i know are bout as far right as it gets. and if you want to play into the stereo type more its painfully obvious which part in this country supports capitalism and which supports communism. you be the judge [censored].

Hitler Jr eh? Well I guess I better go take care of my Jewish friends and coworkers eh? Calm down man,

IIRC, you live somewhere in the midwest, I invite you to visit New York. While hacidic (sp?) Jews are often very conservative, I was not referring to them obviously. My father was an executive in Cable TV for many years and had many friends in the business, and while of course they weren't all Jewish a pretty good amount were.

If you look at it globally what country has a lot to gain if we control the middle east (besides us for our oil). While I am certainly not saying sadam and many of the leaders in the middle east are sweethearts, as they are most certainly not, we do give very preferential treatment to isreal.

party not part, my bad on the typo but i still think the comment is way out of line.

i honestly could give 2 turds about what your daddy did/does. playing the semite card is the worlds biggest ignorance card imho. Jews aren't whats wrong with the world, radicals on every side are what's wrong with this world. Hell i dont even find the media incredibly liberal anymore, atleast not as much as i did when Clinton was in office. War is war, every time the us slaughters another army around the world its war, its not a good thing, it's just a painful reminder that people are still too stuborn to do the right thing. Diplomacy has its limits, thats why we have marines, army grunts, jet jockys, and swabbies.

If you don't think the media is on a slant (either liberal or conservative) you need a wake up call.

War sounds better than "George Bush needs a way to draw attention from our tanked economy, unsuccessful pursuit of Bin Laden and his slipping public confidence"

Maintaining his hardline stance against Saddam Hussein, President Bush ordered Iraq to fully dismantle its military before the U.S. begins its invasion next week. "U.S. intelligence confirms that, even as we speak, Saddam is preparing tanks and guns and other weapons of deadly force for use in our upcoming war against him," Bush said Sunday during his weekly radio address. "This madman has every intention of firing back at our troops when we attack his country." Bush warned the Iraqi dictator to "lay down [his] weapons and enter battle unarmed, or suffer the consequences."

If you think this is about the current administration trying to play the shell game and divert attention away from other domestic and international issues, you're an unequivocal moron. As much of a piece of sh!t that Clinton was/is, I doubt he would have placed troops in harm's way on the scale that we are doing right now.

No, his answer to distract was lobbing missles across the sand in Iraq because he wanted to move the media attention off of the BJ's he was getting...

If we were pulling a "media blitz" to move attention away from other problems, there would be NO NATO or UN-member suport for our actions. We've got it from a NUMBER of countries!!! Not 100% of them, as France, Germany and Russia won't commit. Again, they won't commit due to financial ties to Iraq, along with other reasons that I can't really fathom.

---

Where would NATO be without the US or the UN for that matter? I would imagine some of the countries that support us don't have any alterior motives

I don't see Iraq being a huge threat to US but Bush Sr convinced Americans it was a good idea to go after Iraq then, so many of those same people blindly agree.

[ideological whiplash] Wait a minute, our congressional representative just said it was the CONSERVATIVE Jews who were running the show. Straighten that out and get back to us.
