So if someone kills your family it is okay to finish your loved ones too .
Crap ,crap ,and crap...

I do believe you missed the point...

The first Gulf War should have never ended until it was seen through to the end. To allow a brutal dictator who invaded one country, launched numerous long range missiles into Israel, and had led numerous genocide campaigns on his own people to remain in power was a STUPID move.

The truth (which everyone seems to have forgotten) is that the "first" Gulf war NEVER ENDED. There was a cease fire only under conditions set forth by the UN.Some of these conditions were a No-Fly zone, full and unfettered access to weapons programs, oil for food program and of course a full withdrawal from Kuwait(which they had already done ..lol).After almost 12 years of not meeting these cease fire conditions the cease-fire ended.The media would like to re-write history and say that these are two seperate conflicts...but they are one and the same whatever they may "label" them as.

Yes yes, I know all that. But it is too complicated for most of the people here.

no

I beg your pardon? Please explain so it is not taken out of context.

It was only worth it if you look at the similarities between Sadam Hussein and Hitler.

On the other hand, the reason given to the public were bald faced lies.

They went in with the idea that all they had to do was hit the area hard enough and the mistaken belief that the people would fold like a house of cards and do what our country tells it to, because "Father knows best."

They went in with no real understanding of the mindset of the people.

They went in with no exit strategy at all.

The way they decided to help 'create' the money needed to fund it created a credit situation that is one of the leading factors in our current, hurting, economic situation.

All in all, they should have just focused on capturing Osama bin Laden and never taken this side trip into Iraq.

The U.S. destabilized an area of the world just to try to gain a foothold into the oil producing region. Was stupid, stupid, stupid.

Well considering a vast many of the people here get all their knowledge and points from sources they read one moment to come talk about it here the next that is the point I was making. Either that, or they get their points and stances based solely on how it makes them feel.

Despite the truth, reality of history, that I have stated on numerous occassions as well as Searchin just has as well, those who oppose the general background to justify action based on some supposed "lies" with there being no past to the country.

Saddam had broken so many of the UN Resolutions and fired on US and British jets. He scammed the country of the Oil for Food program hording profits and imported restricted goods. His sons went around running terror operations on the people seen in the countless vidoes of torture, the one most memorable to me is the one where his goons are tossing people off roofs.

Countless Resolutions broken, scamming the UN Oil for Food program where many in the UN were even getting wealthy off it, Kofi Annan's son included in the money scheme, firing on US and British planes, and giving the UN Weapons Inspectors the run around for years. Immediately prior to the war suddenly some new cache of long range missiles decide to show up, 10 years a bit late.

The UN failed to do their duty and Saddam broke the resolutions of the ceasefire thus good to go. The guy is a nuisance, tyrant, giving tens of thousands to families of sucide bombers in the Palestianian territories for their million-pieced son who decided to slaughter some innocent civilians with a human bomb and so on.

They guy had to be taken out.

Doing so exposed the corrupt UN for what it was and had been for a very long time.


But but, its all for oil, based on lies, corporate greed, and it makes me feel bad. This is the very factory spewed information you hear over and over again. They think not in the larger picture, if even thinking for themselves when they get their talking points direct from blogs or heard over and over again. Pete and Repeat.
