Guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Actually Kalshion, there are hundreds of THOUSANDS that claim that nothing like the atrocities that kerry stated occurred. I know one soldier that was in Vietnam who admits having done some atrocities, but he was court marshalled and brought down 3 grades, but he still stayed in the military and actually retired an E-7. Not just hundreds, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS!!! Yes, it was war,and yes, some atrocities happened, but most of those atrocities that were done, the people that were responsible were prosecuted, and punished.

Not just hundreds, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS!!! Don't take my words out of context, or perhaps I was NOT clear. There were not hundreds of soldiers that claim that they were NOT witness to war atrocities, BUT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS that were NOT witness to war atrocities. I was repeating my original statement..... And if you are going to quote someone, at least add your own original thought, this is called a "discussion forum", not "repeat what the other poster wrote and take it out of context forum."

LostInSpace Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. forces have exhumed a mass grave in northwestern Iraq and uncovered the remains of hundreds of people. Many of the bodies found at the site near al-Hatra are believed to be the bodies of Kurdish women and children thought slaughtered by the Saddam Hussein regime. . And some keep saying Iraq had no weapon of Mass destruction it did and his name was Saddam "WMD" Hussien . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 "Those weapons simply do not, did not, and NEVER would have existed." Huh? I think a few hundred thousand kurds and Irani widows would disagree with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street228 Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Chavik, you are obvioulsy from a different school of thought. This does not negate my learning; nor, does it negate the opinion of many a professor. So, I suppose, this is an area where we must agree, to disagree. I have no intention of being pulled into an argument concerning such rediculous scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were plenty of kurds & iranians being gassed around December 20th, 1983. What's so funny with this date ? Well, it just happen that your War champion, Mr. Rumsfeld, was shaking hands with Saddam... I keep forgetting about that, once a friend, they must always be your friend.
