i haven't seen any pieces fling off. i think all of the land is still there.






this would be true in any war.





again we are not the only country involved here.

Hey gene, I can provide clips and transcripts showing democrats giving reasons TO INVADE IRAQ. I bet you won't be so quick to post those, will you? I saw this hit the far left websites, and was waiting you to follow their talking points.

That is not the issue. We have Cheney correctly stating the reasons why the U.S. SHOULD NOT invade Iraq in 1994 and today he tells us just the opposite” after we have the proof that what he said in 1994 was correct! Does the man not remember what he said in 1994? Does he not know that things public officials say are recorded and can be replayed? He looks like a COMPLETE IDIOT!!!!!

No none of them liked our invasion including Turkey and did not support our action with ANY military nor did we use those countries as a base of operations.

We invaded from turkey and Kuwait.

Turkey refused at the last minute which caused a big problem for the 4th Division which was to enter Iraq from Turkey in the North. To the best of my knowledge, only Kuwait allowed us to operate from their country. In fact the major Air FORCE CENTER IN SAUDIA ARABIA WAS NOT available to U.S. Forces for the invasion. Do not kid yourself almost ALL of the Moslem Countries opposed our invasion just as Cheney said in 1994!

why would we invade from egypt. I listed them because they also opposed our invasion!

Turkey DID NOT ALLOW U.S. Forces to attack Iraq from their territory! They did not support our invasion of Iraq! This despite a huge offer of Cash to allow us to invade Iraq from Turkey. It was the source of great difficulty between the U.S. and Turkey.

EVERYTHING Cheney said in that 1994 Interview was true and he looks like an ass today telling us we did the right thing to invade Iraq after explaining correctly why we should NOT invade Iraq.

Last night on Hardball one of the Bushies claimed 9/11 changed Cheney's mind about invading Iraq. Chris Matthews ended that BS by reminding the viewers that NONE of the reasons Cheney gave NOT to invade Iraq in 1994 was changed by 9/11 and that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11. If Bush and Cheney were in office on December 8, 1941, they would have attacked China after we were attacked by Japan. After all it is the same area of the world and they are both Asian.

Turkey allows US to use its territory: Supplies for troops in Northern Iraq

ANKARA, April 2: US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Wednesday secured Turkish logistical support for US operations in northern Iraq, and again warned Ankara against sending troops over the border into the Kurdish-held region.

“We have solved all the outstanding issues with respect to providing supplies through Turkey to those units” in northern Iraq, Mr Powell told reporters at a joint news conference with Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul.

The agreement came after weeks of bilateral tension triggered by the Turkish parliament’s refusal last month to allow the deployment of 62,000 US soldiers to open a “northern front” against Iraq — a move that, military strategists say, might have helped to shorten the war and minimize casualties.

Mr Powell said Washington was “disappointed” by the rejection, but he described Turkey as an “important member” of the coalition against President Saddam Hussein and praised its decision to open its airspace to US planes.

A senior Turkish official said the agreement between the two sides included the passage of humanitarian aid through Turkey, as well as food, medical supplies and fuel supplies for the US troops airlifted or parachuted into northern Iraq.

Turkey is also allowing wounded US soldiers to be treated in Turkey, the official said on condition of anonymity.

However, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters later that supplies to US forces would not include weapons or ammunition.

The announcements came after Mr Powell met President Ahmet Necdet Sezer, Erdogan, Gul and army chief Hilmi Ozkok to resolve the two countries differences over Iraq.

The two sides have agreed on an “early warning process” to inform each other of any possible problem situation in northern Iraq, and will set up a “coordination committee” to work out how to respond to such a situation, he said.

Mr Powell, who arrived in Turkey late Tuesday, left on Wednesday afternoon for Belgrade where he was to express support for the Balkan country following the assassination last month of prime minister Zoran Djindjic.

After a brief stopover, he was to travel on to Brussels for discussions on Thursday on Iraq with NATO and EU ministers.

i know i am wasting my time but there is the link to the page.

you can say what you want but to me when 62,000 troops went into iraq from turkey as the above link said happened. that is allowing it to take place.

Look at you link—IT said LOGISTICAL SUPPORT. IT also said Turkey REFUSED TO ALLOW THE DEPLOYMENT OF 62,000 U.S. Soldiers to the NORTHERAN FRONT in Iraq!

And so do the democrats who said we should disarm and attack Iraq. Notice how you don't address that issue.


The democrats did not proposes to invade Iraq. That was GWB!

Here are more reasons why the Bush surge will not work:

BAGHDAD - A roadside bomb Monday killed the governor of the predominantly Shiite Muthanna province, police said, the second assassination of a top provincial official in just over a week.

We have several Muslim countries that are supporting us. Saudi, Kuwait, Jordan. Turkey. Egypt. The only ones standing against us is Syria and Iran. No none of them liked our invasion including Turkey and did not support our action with ANY military nor did we use those countries as a base of operations.

Not one of them, eh COL? My unit, the 15th MI Bn out of Fort Hood TX, was stationed at Ali al Salem Air Base in Kuwait along with several other units awaiting the ground invasion go-ahead. Thousands of sorties were flown out of Kuwaiti air bases prior to and during the conflict in 2003. So you would be wrong then... hmmm?
