WWIII; Is it impossible to avoid? The way I see it we have a few years here, after were out of Iraq.

Iran and Syria will start up some things w/ Israel or vice-versa, and the US will go in to back Israel. China and/or Russia will come in to back Iran, and so will other Middle Eastern countries. After that you have the European Nations; Britain (Actually Britain will probably go in first when the US goes in), France, Germany, ect.. Along w/ Japan will come in against the Communist and Middle East.

So BASICALLY (obviusly there will be various countries involved) you will have China, Russia, Iran, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and the weaker Middle East Countries AGAINST the US, Britain, France, Germany, other European nations, Japan, Israel, Canada, and the future Iraq NATION.

Who will stop this, The UN? I highly doubt it. With tensions growing in the Middle East, its a time bomb before this or something similar to this happens. I dont think either side would be bold enough to bring in Nuclear

I`m sick and tired of people downing our troops, if you`ve never been in the military you have no right to judge those of us who choose to serve our country.

concerning the war in Iraq?? I would have a lot more respect for him if he would just admit that his strategies aren't working and be more open to options other than "stay the course"......when there is so much at stake why does he continue on this path?

I'm confused. Is Bush's mess in Iraq a quagmire, a debacle, a fiasco, a disaster, a momentous failure, a bloodbath, a massacre, a catastrophe, a tragedy, or just the result of a, drunk with power and oil fumes, megalomaniac, gone berserk?

I took the following clip out of a BBC News report. How would you describe russia's involvement in Chechnya? Like Iraq, Vietnam Afghanistan or all of them rolled into one? Or Worse?

Chechnya bloodbath:
Yet the blunders of the Russian military extend much further, and encompass not only the response to terrorist attacks, but also the strategy of preventing these attacks from taking place. During the last 10 years of a vicious war in Chechnya, thousands of young, inexperienced Russian soldiers were sent into unfamiliar territory where they were instantly slaughtered.
Moscow, in turn, responded by carpet-bombing complete villages and cities. With each day that passed, the opportunity to for a peaceful settlement faded even further into the distance.
In Chechnya, towns destroyed by Russian artillery and aerial carpet bombing are now inhabited almost exclusively by old people, abandoned by younger men who escaped to the mountains to continue fighting.
A great deal of the suicide bombers and terrorists now are women - the so-called "Black Widows" - sisters of dead Chechen fighters, sworn to avenge their own families, even at the cost of their own lives.
If there was ever a surer way of encouraging further terrorism, the Russian military has invented it.
Widespread corruption and demoralization among the Russian troops complete this sad picture. In quite a few documented cases, Russian conscripts sold their equipment to intermediaries who then passed it to Chechen separatists. And checkpoints, set up throughout the turbulent southern Caucasus region in order to hamper the movement of terrorists, are easily circumvented with a small bribe.

If you ask the russian and russian supporters in the room they claim they are the best in the world. What would you say after reading about one of there latest hostage "rescue" attempts.

Ultimately, the Russian Spetsnaz did what they know best: shoot in all directions with massive firepower, rather than execute the surgical strike required in such circumstances.

The result was that 40% of all the hostages were killed, and another 40% were injured, a staggering tally which is much worse than in any other mass hostage crisis in living memory. Many of the hostages were hit from three different directions. Ballistics prove that 98% of the deaths and injuries were caused by Spetsnaz weapons.

Now who would you want rescuing you. UK SAS, US Delta, Israeli SF or russian Spetsnaz?

Bush was advised by several Generals that we needed more troops initially-we should not disband the Iraqi army-we should worry about the conventional arsenals all over Iraq-we should worry about not things going over the border of Iraq upon invasion-but those people and weapons which may come in...it seems so many keys points were ignored...conventional wisdom indicates the basic approach to this war was developed by Bush-Rumsfeld and Cheney-how could these individuals have bungled things so badly??????

i have mentioned these kinds of incidents on here for ages.it's a cowrdly act commited by u.s troops, when they come under fire whether in afghanistan or iraq, instead of going after the assialants on foot they call in air strikes and drop 2000 pound bombs in civillian areas killing so many civillians, ten of thousands of civillians have been killied this way. there are hundreds of sites with videos where an air strike drops bombs and demolish whole buildings and you can hear the cowradly u.s troops cheering when they know the strike has killed civillians, all this is just going to enrage the population and recruit more ppl in the struggle to fight the nazi u.s invaders, even in 20 years time the relatives of those killed in airstrikes will come and seek revenge on the u.s whether it's military or civillian targets, violance breeds violence. so many people have just been saying what i just said. i am currently working for amnesty international.

The Iraq Study Group has put forth their suggestion that many more American forces should be interposed among the Iraqi forces. We are fighting on different fronts in Iraq-and the terrorists, both Iraqi and foreign, are one of them, as well as the sectarian violence militias like Muktada al Sadr. How safe should our guys/gals feel taking orders from an Iraqi general? Would you?
