Saddam was starving 115,000 children a year all because HE wouldn't comply with the Oil-for-Food Programme (OFF), established by the United Nations in 1995 (under UN Security Council Resolution 986) was established with the stated intent to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian needs for ordinary Iraqi citizens without allowing Iraq to boost its military capabilities.
The programme was introduced by United States President Bill Clinton's administration in 1995, as a response to arguments that ordinary Iraqi citizens were inordinately affected by the international economic sanctions aimed at the demilitarisation of Saddam Hussein's Iraq, imposed in the wake of the first Gulf War.

The sanctions were discontinued on 21 November 2003 after the U.S. LIBERATION of Iraq, and the humanitarian functions turned over to the Coalition Provisional Authority.


In 1995 as many as 576,000 Iraqi children may have died since the end of the Persian Gulf war because of economic sanctions imposed by the Security Council, according to two scientists who surveyed the country for the Food and Agriculture Organization.

WHO'S F...KING FAULT???? Idiots!
Saddam could have had if he stayed in power another 2,073,000 children DIE from starvation!

"The sanctions were imposed by the Security Council after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990.
Led by the United States, the Council has rejected many Iraqi appeals to lift the restrictions, which have crippled the economy, until Iraq accounts for all its weapons of mass destruction and United Nations inspectors can certify that they have been destroyed in accordance with several Council resolutions.

In five years 576,000 children starved BECAUSE SADDAM refused to certify WMD destruction!

Using 115,000 children starved a year because Saddam refused to certify WMD destruction -- From 1995 to 2013 is 18 years!
If Saddam was still in power i.e. Bush's Liberation of Iraq NEVER OCCURRED,

from 1990 to 2013 OVER 2,649,000 children would have STARVED because of Saddam!

I am amazed at how many Bush Bashers WOULD RATHER support a Dictator that would have allowed 2,649,000 children to starve!
The USA/Bush were the good guys! Why are you Bashers so intent on supporting a dictator who's sons' did the following:

Last October another bride, 18, was dragged, resisting, into a guardhouse on one of Uday's [Saddam's son] properties, according to a maid who worked there. The maid says she saw a guard rip off the woman's white wedding dress and lock her, crying, in a bathroom. After Uday arrived, the maid heard screaming. Later she was called to clean up. The body of the woman was carried out in a military blanket, she said. There were acid burns on her left shoulder and the left side of her face. The maid found bloodstains on Uday's mattress and clumps of black hair and peeled flesh in the bedroom. A guard told her, "Don't say anything about what you see, or you and your family will be finished."

Uday's physical ailments seemed to heighten his sadistic tendencies. According to his chief bodyguard, when Uday learned that one of his close comrades, who knew of his many misdeeds, was planning to leave Iraq, he invited him to his 37th-birthday party and had him arrested. An eyewitness at the prison where the man was held says members of the Fedayeen grabbed his tongue with pliers and sliced it off with a scalpel so he could not talk. A maid who cleaned one of Uday's houses says she once saw him lop off the ear of one of his guards and then use a welder's torch on his face.

And YOU idiots wanted Saddam to stay in power? His sons' to continue their sadistic tortures?

OH yea... LET's throw in Abu Ghraib ...
The United States Department of Defense removed seventeen soldiers and officers from duty, and eleven soldiers were charged with dereliction of duty, maltreatment, aggravated assault and battery.
28 total US soldiers out of 400,000! AND YET you have a moral equivalency between Uday/ Qusay ?

No wonder people don't like you Bush Bashers any more! You are no better then the terrorists as YOU obviously were saddened when Saddam/Uday/Qusay were removed from every
committing such evil!
 
2,649,000 children would have STARVED because of Saddam if many of you uncompassionate, NO feelings for humanity much less CHILDREN.. starving... had your way and the Liberation of Iraq had not occurred!

You sure like Obama talk a good game but where is the follow through? When historians will ask why people like you were so against the Children!
 
The haters will never, ever, admit that the Iraq war had any positive outcome. It isn't because they love a brutal dictator it is because they hate Bush so much. I am not sure why they hate him so much, most of what he did was liberal. Even the Iraq war could be consider a "liberal"ation.

The Iraq War Was a Good Idea, If You Ask the Kurds

"Obama is a good family man," a local reporter told me. "But I love Bush more. Bush killed Saddam." He shook his fist and said, "I love America!"

Even with hindsight the Iraq war was the best option for all concerned

Let me be blunt; I think we were right to play our own small part in the destruction of the regime of Saddam Hussein. It was a far from perfect operation, mistakes were made and the sectarian violence which followed was appalling. But there are three reasons why the world is better off for the demise of the Hussein regime.
 
At the cost of how many other American and Iraqi lives? Those projections to 2013 are silly.

A) 1,000 US troops died in Liberation of Iraq.
B) 3,000 more died BECAUSE traitors like you loved to see the TERRORIST kill the troops!
C) Harvard study proved when Idiots like the below and YOU encouraged recruited terrorists by calling our troops "terrorists" "Civilian killers"... what kind of idiot can't get it through
their heads that when you tear down your own troops you build up the morale and recruitment of the terrorists!


What silly numbers? The facts were that starvation according to these supposedly reputable people:

NOW obviously YOU can't do the math... but when you divide 576,000 children by 5 years it is equal to 115,000 children per year!
Without the Liberation of Iraq Saddam would still be in power and now you have 18 years times 115,000 equals 2,073,000 kids starving because YOU wouldn't want to stop Saddam!

What a crock of shit from the most dishonest poster on these boards. Do you have a link to prove what I bolded? The answer is a big NO!
 
Those children died because the US and its buddies like a gang of bullies declared economic war against Iraq and then used part of that plus outright lies to declare illegal war on them. You will never ever convince me the Iraq war was legal,morally right,or ethically right.
 
First we were told the invasion was justified because Saddam was beating the sanctions.
Today we're told the invasion was justified because the sanctions were killing millions of Iraqi children.

First we were told the invasion was justified because Saddam was killing his own people.
Today we're told the invasion was justified because WE were killing the Iraqi people (with the sanctions).

Well the TERRORISTS murdered 4,000 US TROOPS!
THE TERRORISTS murdered 100,000 Iraqis!
Like this for example:

— Insurgents detonated a bomb in a car with two children in it after using the children as decoys to get through a military checkpoint in Baghdad, an American general said Tuesday.

Speaking at a news briefing at the Pentagon, Maj. Gen. Michael D. Barbero, deputy director for regional operations at the Joint Staff, said American soldiers had stopped the car at the checkpoint but had allowed it to pass after seeing the two children in the back seat.

“Children in the back seat lower suspicion,” he said, according to a transcript. “We let it move through. They parked the vehicle. The adults run out and detonate it with the children in back.”

NOW do you honestly and sincerely believe the US TROOPS would methodically and systematically ATTACK in Air raids on villages ALL the Time "killing civilians"???
Yet that's what Obama has everyone believe when HE SAID!!!
Obama said: "air raiding villages killing civilians"!

Are you that ignorant to think the Terrorists don't read statements like that and use to put bombs in little kids to blow up those evil us troops handing out candy?

Yet you obviously are more sympathetic with the terrorists and Obama and truly believe OUR troops would do that and KILL 100,000 Iraqis????

Again.. who killed MOST of the 100,000 Iraqis???

FACTS folks YOU dumb f...ks BLAMING our troops for what purpose other then ???

PLEASE YOU dummies consider this is exactly the gross exaggeration you idiots do!
Less then 14,189 deaths over 10 years by our troops of Iraqis!!!
 
So your claim is that had we not invaded Iraq,

eventually there would have been NO children in that country?

This is your best one yet, loon.

Makes you wonder why we stayed there for so long after we toppled Saddam then...if this is the latest justification for invading a country that didn't do anything to us...the children.
 
Are we committing crimes against humanity by NOT sending hundreds of thousands of US troops into every shithole country in Africa where children have been dying by the millions for decades because of wars, brutal governments and dictators, etc., etc., etc.?

Are we committing an act of immoral neglect by not doing so?
 
I've been to Iraq, I've talked to people there, and I still have connections to people that live there. They were our interpreters in some cases and the money they earned doing that work increased their standard of living far beyond the comprehension of bed wetting libtard parasites who've never earned a dime through actual effort.

These kids risked their lives to work with us. They appreciate the opportunity our brief stay provided.

You can't put an exact number on lives saved, or lost. You're an asshole beneath contempt to put a dollar value ahead of the endeavor. You're a blithering imbecile if you can't understand, or refuse to accept how grateful the majority of the people who still live there are that government tanks don't crush their children in the streets, or how sunni soldiers no longer rape and pillage as they please.

So you're of the opinion we should invade Syria, Iraq, China, and other countries that have an a strong-arm government. Sounds like it....
