The U.S., Britain, and Spain have removed their motion to the U.N. security council. Bush is addressing the nation tonight.

Here you go.

That is all.

If Bush declares war tonight, would It be safe to assume that they're going to start strikes immediately?

I mean, it makes sense to me atleast.

Also, who's actually in on this war now?

Britain, America, Spain, and Australia, right?

(Canada will follow eventually.)

Both.

I don't feel our soldiers deserve any more respect than Iraq's--they're both defending their countries, and they both have my prayers. A lot of people are going to die out there.

At least the smart ones.

Nah, the French usually fight at least a little bit before they give up. I'm thinking most of the Iraqi army will surrender the first chance they get.

There were troops in Iraq surrendering to British troops doing live-fire training in the region last week. I have a feeling a fair amount will "french out".

I think it's funny though... here we go bombing brown people again.

Reading in newsweek, the American strategy is more psychological than physical. They're going to boom radio messages, fake Saddam's voice and the whole nine-yards. Quite a few soldiers will fall by the wayside that way and surredner.

It's safe to say that Canada WILL goto war with Iraq, what with Britain and America going.

Just because you're against the war doesn't mean they won't goto war.

And why are you against the war, just outta curiosity?

Anyways, I think Canada will goto war with Iraq. I mean, why'd they goto war with Afghanistan? It's because America did, and to show that we're good allies, we went along for the ride.

I think the same thing will happen again, but I may of course just be full of shit.

I don't like war because of what happens during war, and even though americans may have different views, I'm not up to seeing thousands of people killed... daily...

No, we have a prime minister and a government....

Do you know why they're going to war?

They're not going to slaughter thousands of Iraqi's. There's an actual reason behind it, besides mass killings.

But Saddam has killed tons of his own people, and chances are he may do this again. They are trying to remove him, and that's the goal (I'm assuming.) So by removing him, they remove a crazy dictator who really doesn't care if someone dies or not.

I'm probably wrong, but I believe they're doing the right thing by going in there to take him out.

If you kill him then he is dead sure. But how many people would ha have killed if you had not.

Well for what it's worth, Jean Chretien has already come out and said that without a UN resolution, Canada will NOT be fighting in the upcoming war, something that doesn't surprise me too much.

Of course there are going to be Canadians in Iraq since there are some of our troups fighting under the command of the US (it's a sort of Soldier exchange program we have).

Also from what I understand, we are also stepping up our presence in and around places like Afganistan, I believe in anticipation of having American and British troups pulled elsewhere.

That all said, I've gotta say I'm hating this war with a passion for purely personal reasons. The company I work for has Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel and Jordan as major customers of ours. So now we're left scrambling as we a) try to find new sources of revenue since we are expecting to not get any money from that region and b) try to figure out what to do with the Alpha's we're getting to do the Jordan system install that is now being put on hold.

I just hope this shit is wrapped up fast so we can get back to some form of normalacy in this world.
