Looks like the war starts tomorrow

[outside looking in]

After just a one hour meeting in the Azores with GB, Spain, and Portugal, Bush announced that tomorrow is the day.

It doesn't look like they are going to seek another UN resolution, or any other formal UN backing. I guess we'll know soon enough what the outcome of this announcement will be.

 

[Squiggy]

Well, Pull up your boots and get ready....I'll hold a good thought for our servicemen and women.

 

[Luis G]

Haven't read anything about such announce, could you provide a link or the quote?

Actually, Luis, I thought he prased it in such a way that anything he does or doesn't do would probably be covered, however I think that March 17th has been the day for a while now.http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/16/sprj.irq.main/index.html
Here's the cnn story but I can't find a transcript of what he actually said.

 

[Luis G]

I'm watching it on the TV right now, only comment he said was that "tomorrow is the last day for diplomacy".

And it also seems that Portugal will join a war on Iraq.

Tomorrow.
We'll start saying it his last chance.

Do it or don't. Quit talking about it.

Do it or don't. Quit talking about it

my idea. getting fucking tired of the endless fucking conversation. for the last few months all you here is iraq this, iraq that...all the shit in the UN, all the shit about the french, the americans...

i really don't give a damn about whether they attack or not. all i wish is that stopped bitching about it

 

[Astaroth33]

And when it comes down to it, I wish the best of luck to all of the allied forces in the region whose job it is to fight this. May you all come home safe.

 

[Gonz]

May you all come home safe.

Absolutely.

[Leslie]

*sigh*

 

[Q]

ooh, I better clarify my headbanger...it was in response to the guys coming home safely....NOT the war

 

[Luis G]

I saw your post a few mins ago when it was the last one, i thought you were talking about war.....i refrained to comment on that thou.

 

[unclehobart]

End them or end this. Either way ... it just needs to end.

Be strong, o military of mine ... for it is your back that bleeds by the order of the prideful politician.

 

[Q]

Good thing I came back then...

 

[Leslie]

I knew what you meant, Q

I just got sad reading the thread.

 

[flavio]

Let's hope the soldiers on both sides stay safe.

 

[Leslie]

like that's gonna happen

 

[Gato_Solo]

Let's hope the soldiers on both sides stay safe.

Sorry to say it this way, but our job, if war comes, is to kill them, and break their stuff. Their job is to kill us and break our stuff. Not much middle ground there...

 

[PT]

Not really. I just hope you guys do your job better than they do.
