Did the Liberation of Iraq SAVE hundreds of thousands of children's lives???

[healthmyths]

"Some persons, such as Walter Russell Mead, accepted a large estimate of casualties due to sanctions, but argued that invading Iraq was better than continuing the sanctions regime, since "Each year of containment is a new Gulf War." Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, in his testimony to the Chilcot Inquiry, also argued that ending sanctions was one benefit of the war."

On May 12, 1996, Madeleine Albright (then U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations) appeared on a 60 Minutes segment in which Lesley Stahl asked her "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" and Albright replied "we think the price is worth it." Albright wrote later that Saddam Hussein, not the sanctions, was to blame. She criticized Stahl's segment as "amount[ing] to Iraqi propaganda"; said that her question was a loaded question; wrote "I had fallen into a trap and said something I did not mean"; and regretted coming "across as cold-blooded and cruel". The segment won an Emmy Award.Albright's "non-denial" was taken by sanctions opponents as confirmation of a high number of sanctions related casualties.

So let me guess, we need to liberate Iran now. It'll be well worth the $5 trillion dollars, right?

First of all, do what you want.

Second, if you think it's in the GOP's interest to keep bringing that disaster up, well, please disregard my post, thanks.

Then we should have neither invaded nor imposed sanctions.

"[E]ach generation should be made to bear the burden of its own wars, instead of carrying them on, at the expence of other generations... that each generation should not only bear its own burdens, but that the taxes composing them, should include a due proportion of such as by their direct operation keep the people awake, along with those, which being wrapped up in other payments, may leave them asleep, to misapplications of their money."

-- James Madison, from 'Universal Peace' (February 2, 1792)

The 4000 Americans who were killed were not able to have any more children. If 3/4's of them would have had children,

at an average 2 children per person, that's 6000 American children that were denied life. And because they never lived, they were never able to have their children, so that's another 9000 children deprived of life by Bush. 15,000 so far. 14,000 in the next generation, 22,000 in the next, 36,000 in the next.

That's almost 100,000 American children that Bush killed, and that number never stops growing.

The great guru of capitalism, Adam Smith, was a strong advocate of paying for one's wars.

Where are the Iraqi Christians and why don't American Christians care about them?

Wrong color?

You realise Obama won in 2008, right?



Wild accusations were effective then; They're no less absurd now.

they (the Dems) are hoping to continue to spread misinformation so it can help them with mid-terms. If you will note this is most likely in response to all the dem threads being posting about it lately.

Header question paraphrased: Did the filthy god damned scum whose lies sold white trash on invading a third world political cesspool save a single child's life?"

No.

But combined with the stupidest tax cut in the history of civilized nations and a trillion dollar giveaway to the drug industry, these degenerate scum did damage the US economy for a generation or more.
