They made a big mistake killing the POW's, kidnapping them was enough, but now they're going to have to deal with even more pissed off Americans...

Boy, these people are idiots aren't they? I mean didn't they see how we reacted to 9/11? Don't they know that's just pissing the Army and Marines off even more? Not to mention all of America?

Whoo boy, I would not want to be in those Iraqi shoes when the Army or Marines find them.

I doubt they care if they make us 'madder'

. I am suprised more oil wells aren't on fire. Perhaps when they feel there is nothing left, that will happen.

When they get to that point, nothing is stopping them from using weapons of mass destruction is there. Personally I think that if we do anything to Saddam he has told is men here in America to reslease Bio waepons.

And in order to avoid controversies, I'll swallow the rant on who put Saddam there in the first place.
Hey i show you a deal of respect for leaving out that last one! And i agree that it is not all humanitarian, but i doubt oil plays such a great deal that the liberal media would like us to believe. Thats why i watch Fox News
Sooooo..... oil has nothing to do with it right, is that why before this whole thing started they divided up who would get what after the war. If this was just about Saddam we wouldn't be doing what we are doing now, there is no reason to bomb innocents just for one man.

I do believe "i doubt oil plays such a great deal that the liberal media would like us to believe." is quite different from "oil has nothing to do with it right"

I actually meant to type "little" not "nothing" I forgot to go back and change it.

I pretty much thought that was what he meant when he said he'd blow up all his oil fields if he was attacked. My guess is he is holding out for something. If he felt like giving up because he had no chance, he would have already blown up everything like he said he would.

He is trying the UN to plea against the attacks.

Since the war was actually unprovoked attacks on a sovereign nation to begin with, the UN has rules for such things. This could be interesting how the UN responds to such things, as the Bush administration 'unsigned' from the war crimes bill in 2000, after the Clinton administration signed the United States to it.

In any case, protests are rather useless now and all is fair in war.

It IS because the troops are invading that they are close enough to become prisoners. It is to be expected though it's horrible and disturbing.

In that picture being shown all over papers of the Iraqi soldier getting the water, there is a gun pointed at his temple on the left...so it's not like this is a black and white situation

.

It's hypocritical to cry unfair when our troops are captured in enemy territory as well. They are fighting in an enemy country, it is to be expected. I do have a close friend over there myself who I think of and hope will come back soon...and any nation involved has the same.

Still, there are nations on this Earth that the planet and it's people would be better off without.....so hopefully some good will come out of the war.

I don't believe we have executed any Iraqi soldiers.

All is not fair in war, at least, not according to the Geneva Convention

Article 13

Prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated. Any unlawful act or omission by the Detaining Power causing death or seriously endangering the health of a prisoner of war in its custody is prohibited, and will be regarded as a serious breach of the present Convention. In particular, no prisoner of war may be subjected to physical mutilation or to medical or scientific experiments of any kind which are not justified by the medical, dental or hospital treatment of the prisoner concerned and carried out in his interest.

Likewise, prisoners of war must at all times be protected, particularly against acts of violence or intimidation and against insults and public curiosity.

Measures of reprisal against prisoners of war are prohibited.

Article 14

Prisoners of war are entitled in all circumstances to respect for their persons and their honour. Women shall be treated with all the regard due to their sex and shall in all cases benefit by treatment as favourable as that granted to men. Prisoners of war shall retain the full civil capacity which they enjoyed at the time of their capture. The Detaining Power may not restrict the exercise, either within or without its own territory, of the rights such capacity confers except in so far as the captivity requires.

The sad fact is, too many people ignore what was written.... You should see the awful crap the Guerrillas tend to do back home... and the army can't move too well because of said "War Crimes"....
