Remember being outraged during the first Gulf War

[bif]

When captured IU.S soldiers were paraded around on Iraqi tv? And now they're beheading captives and where's the outrage? Have we become that desensitized or what?

1. I listened to a Bill Hicks show on the way into work this AM

and he was ranting about GWI - there was more outrage about that war than the current mess for certain.

What he said on the show was certainly true - It can't be called a war for one simple reason - there must be TWO armies fighting for it to be a war.

2. I'm proud to say

that there is actually taped evidence of me saying the Gulf War was all about Oil on the Phil Donahue show. I was 18, i think.

3. Good point! And a clear example of how well BushCo...

suppresses the bad news.

BTW, I also remember being outraged that any of my tax dollars were going to protect Kuwait; a country that didn't even allow women to drive!

I've also read that Saddam let the US know he was planning the attack and our government gave him the OK. I can find a link for this if you'd like to see it.
