Monsier Bleu-vein Fromage:

During the Iran-Iraq war, both Iran and Iraq used chemical weapons, just as the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany used them in World War I.

The only time Saddam used them on the Kurds was when the Kurds decided to fight with Iran.

What's more, at that time, the United States was actively assisting Saddam and did not — I repeat, did not — criticise the use of chemical weapons.

As for British Prime Minister Tony Blair's so-called dossier, it was just more of the same hollow rhetoric.

Pat Buchanan had the most telling comment about it: "It proves the fax lines between Washington and London are working."

In other words, it was a propaganda product concocted by Bush and Blair.

Stick that in your escritoire!

I'm glad I live in Dubbo!

Great! Now if we could just get some inspectors into the USA, China, Russia, the UK, France, Germany... but shit, the Mendacious Midget won't even let them into our refugee concentration camps out in godforsaken outback!

Dickhead! I'm not FOR the "Left" - whatever that is anymore - but I'm AGAINST rogue states defying international conventions. THAT's the only thing keeping the whole world from going to hell in a handbasket: international laws! By its belligerant behaviour the US is proving itself to be an greater danger to world peace than puny little Saddass will ever be! And anyway, who do you reckon sold Saddass his weapons development technology? Yeah, Franz BLOWJOB, the goddamn same lying pricks now itching to blow him away: the Yanks and the Poms! This aint about "weapons of mass destruction" or "threats to world peace", its about domestic politics. Too bad Blairs shot himself in the foot - he won't last. As for Bush, shit, nobody voted for him in the first place: his election win was as phoney as Saddam's!

Nyah nyah nyah!

Well, do want international law or every shitforbrains for himself? Do you obey road rules when you drive? What if no-one obeyed them? How would that be? Same thing on a global scale: we NEED internationally agreed laws by which ALL nations behave, or its just chaos. Since Dubmbass Bush got "elected' (Ha!) the US has pulled out of every damn agreement, not only Kyoto, but treaties limiting weapons proliferation. Why? Because it doesn't suit THEIR global aims. What a great example for Saddam to follow!

If Saddam AND the U.S. are above international law, then where does that leave the rest of us? Fuck em both. Let the Yanks go in if they want, but it has nothing to do with me! Saddam has as much hope of bombing Australia as Dubya has of reading a speech with words of more than three syllables in it!

With judges from countries with a fine judicial tradition such as Libya and China no country should sign up with that PC monstrosity - the ICC!

Again the left misses the point. The point is that Saddam should not be allowed to have these weapons of mass destruction now. Shit, if you went back in the past enough you'd find that your hero Lenin was engaged in a bit of ethnic cleansing in his time as well.
Are you saying let Saddam go along and do what he wants with no monitoring of his armaments program? That would be courting disaster. It is only because of the intense pressure from the brave UK PM Tony Blair and US President Bush that he has finally relented to even thinking about letting the inspector’s back. The only thing this tyrant understands is force, and it is only this threat of force that will make him do what he is supposed to do: stop developing weapons of mass destruction.

The biggest bully on the block thinks all he has to do is throw his weight around to get what he wants!

There's a big difference between Britain and the U.S. forcing through a U.N. resolution and the rest of the world actually agreeing to it.

yep, the yanks must know they're about to do something beyond the pale! bush and rumsfelt are sure to be a prime candidates for the icc

I had my seventh beer and you know this all started to make a kind of sense! Got another chapter in yer?

Iraq is pussy! The Yanks deal with "evil" regimes on a daily basis: Iran, Saudi Arabia - which has an appalling record on human rights, but Bush and Rumsfuck don't threaten regime change there! Oh no!

The navel-gazing Yanks reckon they can appoint themselves as some kind of untouchable global policeman without a global mandate!

THIS is defiance of international law and reason! THIS is the act of a rogue state!
THIS is very, very bad karma!

Who the fuck do they think they are!

Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!

Thats it! You mention Jehovah one more time and you will be stoned to death!

Don't you just love Rumsfeld complaining about Iraqi anti-aircraft firing at US and Brit jets. Golly, maybe if the Yanks weren't harassing the Iraqies day in, day out, maybe they wouldn't get shot at!

The Jews committed the first act of genocide by slaughtering the Canaanites and stealing their land - just as they were ordered to do by their "Jehovah"!

Thats right the Jews have the right to no land or safety!
If the arab world really cared about the Palestinians they would allow them to settle in their countries!
Anyway, read the Bible. We're the fucken chosen ones so screw you Goyim!

Mr Cohen

It's this blatant hypocrisy which is driving so many Islamic extremists crazy! When is the US going to wake up to the real world and stop viewing everything through the distorted glass of its holier-than-thou gold fish bowl?

In order to put things in perspective, perhaps we could ask Mr Howard and Mr Crean to start talking numbers.

If we join in with the bombing of Iraq, what is their upper limit of acceptable civilian casualties?

During the Afghanistan campaign, somewhere between 2000 and 3000 civilians were killed. Just how many deaths is OK in the quest to oust Saddam?

This is what such a war would come down to - a lot of innocent dead people. Is it worth it?

I don't see any bent cacti, just bent IDIOTS!

dem bones dem bones dem dry bones

desist wid de teasin, boy! where be the revelation. where be the view with a room?

pathetic pusillanimous parochial poppycock, begod!

Goddamn two-legged freaks!

The Guardian. what a repistory of useless fuckwits!
Doesn't Nik Cohen fuck Julie BIchall?

I rest my case.




on your nose.

Hey! Those guys work down the corridor!
Why weren't I on the paper?
Hmmmm...

Pick an enemy, someone whose demise would be beneficial to your own plans: They Done It!!

My manhood aint cheap but is sure is NASTY!

This morning a "runaway" skateboard almost tripped me up and just missed a bus full of school kids! This evil must be nipped in the bud before it escalates! Imagine the horror! Scooters! Tricycles! Goddamn it, frisbees, anthrax-tainted frisbees!

I agree. This can be nothing other than a terrorist attack! If we do not begin bombing Iraq now what other terrors will our population be subject too? Nuke 'em I say before this gets out of hand!!!

Australia's defence purchases ARE fucked! The Yanks must really think we're fuckin drongos buying their useless outmoded shit!

Old Johnny Ratfuck dont have no convictions, just ambitions! I'd like to see a runaway jetski plough into that twisted old tightass!

I see Saddass has already begun! What evil genius! Converting harmless leisure craft into deadly weapons of mass destruction and ripper news footage! Save me, Johnny, save me!

The 90's scared the shit outta me... but NOW we're really gonna BURN BABY BURN!

Pretty easy to hold Yugo's manhood. I reckon a pair of tweezers will do!

I know, but she said she was tired.

yep

Ah now I understand all the complaints and disillusionment in democracy I read here. You must have believed in it at some point. Good guys? Sides? Is the world so simple? This kind of crap has been going on for centuries. Why is everyone so suprised? Did the nineties lull everyone into a false sense of security or something?

No chance in hell that Howard will be in the front line shouting "Once more into the breach!" If he did I could probably respect his convictions even I didn't agree with them.

We accept it because people are always happy to complain about the state of the world but rarely seem to offer an alternative. What are you going to do rise up in arms? Vote them out? You want peace? There is only once place to find it.

Holy bratwurst, where'd all those ? come from Ed?

I'm constantly amazed that dim bulb Dubya can string even two or three incoherent words together...

IF GEORGE BUSH JUMPED OFF A FUCKIN CLIFF, WOULD JOHN HOWARD JUMP OFF TOO? PLEASE!
LEMON AID

WITH 'EM OR AGAINST 'EM? FUCKIN YANKS ARE JUST DOING OVERTLY NOW WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING COVERTLY FOR AT LEAST THE PAST 50 YEARS! ANYONE JOINING IN THIS BIZARRE BULLSHIT IRAQ FARCE SHOULD WAKE UP TO THEIR FUCKIN SELVES!
LEMON AID

Our American friends have already admitted they're not interested in UN support, UN weapons inspections, or world opinion, nor are they interested in actually finding anything incriminating. They just want to murder Saddass - and they don't give a shit how many innocent civilians get killed, maimed and traumatised in the process.

Dead babies - as recently proven in Afghanistan - are not a US concern either. If they go ahead with this, then anything goes.

Anybody, anywhere, anytime, will be able to "justify" the worst atrocity simply by calling it a first-strike in self defence! Hell, its Hitler's old excuse for invading Russia!

I can't resist! How'd you like to hear the increasingly addled and inarticulate Texas Deranger - or our very own venomous Mini Me warmonger's mascot PM Johhny Rotten - make THIS speech:

Saint Crispin's Day Speech
from Henry V by William Shakespeare


This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

NOPE, NOT IN IRAQ, BOYS & GIRLS! REMEMBER: THERE'S NO HONOUR AMONG THIEVES!

Ed, you are a poet, a scholar and a gentleman. NEVER get off the boat!
