Liberation of Iraq saved almost 1,000,000 kids from starving!!!

[Billo_Really]

Hey.. 4 years 144,000 a year! What would have changed from 1995 to 2003? Embargo still in place!

AND YOU want "facts"???
How about these quotes of people privy to more information then you or I had BEFORE 2003!

All these people LIKE Bush but ONLY one person with the balls to do something!
And in Iraq... YOUR Democrat leaders BEGGING that Iraq be liberated!
32 democrat quotes indicate even before GWB that Saddam was a threat!
"..deny Iraq the capacity to develop WMD".Bill Clinton,1998
"..most brutal dictators of Century", Biden,1998
"Iraq compliance with Resolution 687 becomes shell game"..Daschle 1998
"He will use those WMDs again,as he has ten times since 1983" ..Berger Clinton Ntl. Secur. Advr 1998
"posed by Iraq's refusal to end its WMD programs" Levin 1998
"Saddam has been engaged in development of WMDs which is a threat.."Pelosi 1998
"Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building WMDS.."Albright 1999
"Saddam to refine delivery systems, that will threaten the US..."Graham 2001
"Saddam has ignored the mandate of the UN and is building WMDs and the means to deliver.." Levin 2002
"Iraq's search for WMDs ...will continue as long as Saddam's in power"..Gore 2002
"Saddam retains stockpiles of WMDS.."Byrd 2002
"..give President authority to use force..to disarm Saddam because an arsenal of WMDs..threat our security"..Kerry 2002
"..Unmistakable evidence Saddam developing nuclear weapons next 5 years.."Rockefeller 2002
"Violated over 11 years every UN resolution demanding disarming WMDs.."Waxman 2002
"He's given aid,comfort & sanctuary to al Qaeda members..and keep developing WMDs"..Hillary 2002
"Compelling evidence Saddam has WMDs production storage capacity.." Graham 2002
"Without a question, we need to disarm Saddam. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime .... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction .... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...."Kerry , Jan. 23. 2003.

So again.. with all these people with more information then you or me what would you do after Saddam gassed his own people?
After Saddam could have saved 1 million children from starving simply by obeying the sanctions and yet you blame the USA/Bush?

This is truly a f..kedup world we live in when the truly bad guys like Saddam are exculpated for murder and people like you accuse Bush who was
trying to save people and freeing 28 million from further oppression and starvation... and you defend Saddam!

Fuck your quotes! Iraq wasn't liberated, it was destroyed.

Over 1 million Iraqis lost their lives and over 4.5 million became refugees.

How many deformed babies are they having because of all the depleted uranium munitions we left lying around the place?

As for shooting Iraqis in the streets and houses, here's what one guy who was there said went on.

[JakeStarkey]

So there is no solid evidence for children starving to death from 1995 to 2003.

So there is no solid evidence that WMDs existed as described by the Bush admin.

So we were willing to ignore human rights violations in Iraq during the 1980s when the Reagan administration was arming,

This OP does not pass the smell test.

 

[JoeB131]

The sanctions against Iraq were a near-total financial and trade embargo imposed by the United Nations Security Council on the nation of Iraq. They began August 6, 1990, four days after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, stayed largely in force until May 2003 (after Saddam Hussein's being forced from power),...
Estimates of excess deaths of children during the sanctions range from 100,000 to over 500,000.


This is an average of almost 40,000 children a year which if the Liberation had not happened as of today Saddam's refusal to obey the sanctions would have starved nearly 1 million children !
If Iraq hadn't been liberated in less then 6 weeks, 28 million would still be captive and one million kids starved!

]

Meeehhhh....

SO instead of pissing away 2 trillion and 5000 American lives, why not just lift the sanctions.

Initially, the Sanctions DID have a bad effect, but after they were modified to allow food and medicine, not so much. So this is a fallacious argument made by the war's defenders.

Get it through your head. No one is ever going to look back at the Iraq War as a good idea or anything but a waste.

Yet another thread feebly trying to justify this horrific disaster.

To themselves.

I wonder if it's working.

Once again idiots like YOU take EXCEPTIONAL illustration to apply it to ALL THE TROOPS DO IT ALL THE TIME!

How many terrorists murdered those 1 million Iraqis because these traitors encouraged with these statements to continue to kill our troops.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "The war is lost, the surge is not accomplishing anything " 40,800 Google results

U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D) "Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
39,600 Google results
Senator Kerry (D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children." 92,500 Google results

Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners. 127,000 Google results
Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians," 94,300 Google results

So Iraq deaths and cost continued because the above remarks HELPED ONLY the terrorists and they were emboldened to prolong!

Before we illegally and immorally invaded that country, it didn't matter whether you were Sunni, Shiite or Kurd, they all thought of themselves as "Iraqis". Then we show up and start treating everyone according to their tribe. That let the genie out of the bottle, which led to the sectarian violence.

BTW, it wasn't insurgent terrorists that destroyed 75% of a city of 300,000 people, it was American terrorists, the ones you think we should say nice things about.

I do not support criminal acts. And I'm certainly not going to say warm and fuzzy bullshit about our military when it's doing basically the same thing the nazis did when they went into Poland.

Supporting wars of aggression is for Germans, not American's.

 

[velvtacheeze]

Iraq should hold a referendum on if they think the US invasion made them better or worse off.

I don't doubt for a second that defenders of America's biggest policy blunder would not like the results.

No. It's people like you who use these quotes completely out of context in your partisan hackery against everything Demcrat that helped the terrorist. You've aided the enemy in their own propaganda war.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The neo-cons are as much the enemy of the US as are the baathists in Syria and Iraq are the enemies of their people.

Almost no one opposed the Afghan war and that didn't stop the enemy from fighting on there.

 

[NYcarbineer]

We spent 12 billion dollars a month on the Iraq war.

If we'd given them 1 billion dollars a month in food aid, we'd have saved the children at 1/12th the cost, and 0 percent of the cost of American lives.
