Melkor 0 Posted March 18, 2003 The war is here, codenamed "Liberty Shield". Many of us in the U.S., including myself, have friends and/or family overseas that we are worried about. Its time we start a new thread. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Saying the "danger was clear" that the Iraqi regime would provide terrorists with biological, chemical or nuclear weapons, President Bush gave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein 48 hours for him and his sons to leave Iraq before military action begins "at a time of our choosing."

Melkor 0 Posted March 18, 2003 The Iraq thread is pre-war posts, its much to cluttered with arguments. I hope that the mods will let this thread stay. US troops are moving in just hours from now and lots of people will die. My brother is in the Reserves and was shipped-out three weeks ago. Â I hope Saddam will do the smart thing and leave Iraq.

FSPilot 0 Posted March 18, 2003 Yeah I think we should have a thread about the war itself in Iraq, not just arguments about whether or not it should happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OxPecker 0 Posted March 18, 2003 Liberty Shield? Bloody hell, what drama queen came up with that name? Why not call it "Operation: Mom, Apple Pie, and Soft Fluffy Kittens". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edc 0 Posted March 18, 2003 I believe Liberty Shield is the name of the increased protection of sites in the US that may be terrorist targets, though I may be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tovarish 0 Posted March 18, 2003 Liberty Shield...sounds like what the US would call French-made contraceptives Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted March 18, 2003 Operation "Iraqi Fries" would have been more appropriate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete 1 Posted March 18, 2003 perhaps someone was thinking that if it was called "shield" it sounds more defensive (defensive war = legal war) lol more suitable name would be "liberty remover" or "world basher"...or something. its so sad to see that UN is totally useless, its not because of iraq it became useless, its becouse usa wont respect the un...so it goes down in the history books that bush and his usa destroyed un Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
