pwned my history teacher

we were talking about the iraq war and she started saying the only reason we were in iraq was for the iraqi oil. she left out the other reasons. I pointed out that we went in there to take out saddam, find his wmds (because he was practically bragging to us that he had nukes and he threatened to use these weapons against us), and stop the taliban from killing innocent bystanders. she responded with a "umm... yeah.. uhh... oh dear... i... i lost my train of thought... ill get back to you on that... umm yeah..." I mumble "...yeah, i didnt think so..." causing the guy sitting next to me to laugh. it was pretty funny. im going to enjoy my class.

taliban was in afganistan... you failAce_WondersX

[QUOTE="Ace_WondersX"]taliban was in afganistan... you failDecko5

no, Taliban and Saddam were completely unrelated, there is no proof of any funding communication, funding, or etc.

[QUOTE="Ace_WondersX"]taliban was in afganistan... you failDecko5

first of all, bush wasn't the only one who thought there were WMD's, there were others (like his military advisors for exampple). secondly, saddam told the US government (in almost a taunting sort of way, like he was bragging) that he had WMD's and that he threatened to use them against us. I would consider this a threat to national security as well as a perfectly good reason for going into iraq.

another thing, he was killing many of his own people. many of those people were people who spoke out against the government (like activists and political oponents). it was almost a genocide in iraq.

btw, i meant to say terrorists, not just taliban.

so like, in real life, do you brag when you "pwn" people on gamespot?Xeros606

Did your teacher say to you "make sure you blog this at Gamespot and not make a thread about it?"Citrus25

If Saddam said he would attack us with WMDs we wouldn't take it seriously, because no country in the Middle-East has long range nuclear weapons

anybody else do this to a teacher?Neo-ganon

*sigh*

Sorry bud, your wrong, and your history teacher is somewhat right...

Bush used the "WMD's and Taliban!!!" as just an excuse to get at the oil that is available. All they fought are the rebels that are occupied in Afghanistan right now, and now they are trying to rebuild the country from all the wreckage they caused.... The Taliban really don't even exist, US troops failed to find any, and British also failed. It's just a gong show....

But, nuclear weapons are a problem because the Pakistan government is having difficulty and some people will use them...

All in all, stop posting topics on how you "PWNED MY TEACHER!!" on gamspot. Especially pwnage was not induced.

I'm having a bad day, sorry....

Funny how you just regurgitated what Bush said. Your History Teacher was closer to the truth then you were. Toriko42

Well, that's what happens when you have a female tutor. J/k :P

Anyway, oil is one of the reasons yes, but another important, possibly the most important reason, is that, for a military to function properly, you have to use it and test it in battle. And that's exactly what America, did, and is doing, testing the military and military technology.

I love this new trend of teachers changing the history they teach to meet their political views. I had a teacher in my environmental science class that taught nothing of the subject and just bashed republicans and bush all day, every class. :roll:Pirate700

I know what you mean, and the mention to environmental science made me laugh due to how stereotypical the situation is :D

Yeah even if they got to the point where they could make a long range weapon it would be easily shot down. Now and for at least a few more decades a fight against the US is a losing battle. They seem to always be at war in some form or another, but looking at other major powers in history, I'd say there quite placid.

I think some vague connections were mentioned before the war in Iraq was initiated. At least here in Norway, I heard on the news that Saddam had connections with Taliban

I'd be worried about having a history teacher than can't refute an argument such as that.

Tell your principal that she's unreliable.

Dark-Sithious

About the only connection is that they are both in the middle east and both Muslim.

*grins* if ur history teacher does not even know recent history,she shouldn't even be a history teacher lol.
