>Supplying fuel is as good as supplying bullets.

I agree, though it's harder to hit people with a petrol can. Most Irish people also agree which is why there is vast opposition and a permanent protes outside the airport which is doing the re-fueling.
Many reckon it will ba a major cause in the current govenment not being returned next year.

>They are afraid of America pulling investment out of the country.
So without the US, you'd become a 3rd world country??

No but some people are greedy. I don't buy it anyway, U.S. firms will pull out anyway as soon as they can identify a cheaper base and better educated cheap labour. That's the capitalist way

>>How many got killed this week?
>How many weren't tortured or killed by Saddam this week?

How many what?
If you are talking about U.S.soldiers, I'm not aware that he was killing US marines prior to your invasion of his country. if you are talking civilians, it is probable that were he in power, less than have been shot or injured by occupation forces since the war "ended".
U.S. troops openly admit to killing many unarmed civilians / demonstartors due to nervouseness and paranoia. Hown many are going to die for lack of medical care and clean water (which were in place before this adventure). Would an Iraqi prefer to be killed by a) Saddam? or b) some ill educated fuckwitt from Tenesee? or c) not at all? Answers on a postcard please. Perhaps the problem is that the Iraqi's have not had it explained properly to them why it is better to be shot/ exploited by an American than an Iraqi. Whilst this goes on, more soldiers are going to get killed. it's a pretty simple equation. Admit it man, can open, worms everywhere.

When this all started I said it would turn into a Northern Ireland type situation rapidly. What do you think now? If you disagree, explain, and I will almost certainly be able to show you U.K. governemnt pronouncements of 30 years ago spouting the same misguided shite.
