Why Did We Invade Iraq?

[CrusaderFrank]

Cause Saddam tried to kill Daddy Bush....and for the oil. Saddam denied he had WMD even though Bush and DICK made sure all the intel was cherry picked to say he did.

How did Bush and Cheney get Clinton, Kerry and Pelosi to go on record on Saddam's WMD?

How?

 

[bendog]

Literally to make the world safe for democracy. It worked about as well as it did the first time we tried that.

They lied about the intel. Dont you read these boards?

 

[AmericanFirst]

Saddam broke the cess fire agreement and was shooting at our planes.

The obvious question is why would that remain an obscure item of information?

Sad reality is Saddam was the best thing for Iraq.

Could be. I don't know. What I do know is we Americans tend to presume our values and ideals should prevail all over the world.

Only obscure for libtards who hate the truth.

 

[boilermaker55]

Read the news today about the Ukraine?
Read anything about the missile crisis with Cuba?
Read! learn.....? Stop being so stupid you seem to be
a cluster fuck yourself.

Gawd troll thread if there ever was one. Maddow is carrying water for the administration by deflecting from their clusterfuck up in the Ukraine after their clusterfuckup with Obamacare.

Iraq might not be better off, but at least the rest of the world is without Saddam supporting terrorists.

Saddam gassed his own people. He murdered people practically indiscriminately. He looted the country. He helped his favorites out of Tikrit at the expense of other tribes in the country.
Can anyone honestly say Iraqis are not better off?

I certainly hope they're better off in the long run, but since the war started, and now, I wouldn't want to be living in Iraq. Not saying Saddam was a good guy or anything.

The pathetic thing about these chickenhawks and their pathetic denials and attempts to dissemble from W's failure, by lying about what others said, is that the real defense of W's actions, in comparison to Putin, was that while W turned out to be totally wrong about the Iraqis desire for a republican democracy, W's INTENT was to help them achieve one ... which is directly contrary to Putin's intentions in the Ukraine (and in Georgia which occurred on W's watch). So, their attempts to waffle out of reality effectively doesn't even give their guy credit for at least trying to do a good thing.

1) Maddow is an idiot
2) There is no war crime
3) Read violations of terms of cease fire

that is all

 

[JakeStarkey]

Rachel Maddow, whose aggressive style I often find annoying, happens to be very good at what she does. She has spent several months conducting an in-depth investigation into the truth about what motivated the Bush Administration to initiate the massive war crime which was our invasion and occupation of Iraq.

She is presenting the results of her effort in a special broadcast at 9PM on Thursday, 3/16, on MSNBC. I look forward to watching it and I'm sure some others here will, too.

Thursday. 9PM. MSNBC.

too bad it will be done with a left wing slant and will avoid the truth like poison. An unbiased report would be interesting, but this won't be unbiased.

Ya think?

Fox or MSNBC? Both would be very biased.

Which part was a lie?
Do the Iraqis have a democracy today?

Could be. I don't know. What I do know is we Americans tend to presume our values and ideals should prevail all over the world.

And yet you expect the same thing with your demands on countries the world over from the middle east to Africa to accept homosexuals behavior and girls getting a education.

Whether or not the people of other nations accept homosexual behavior is none of our (Americans) business. And while it would be good for girls in all nations to become educated please be assured I don't lose any sleep over it. My concerns for such things halt abruptly at this Nation's borders. So you really don't know me as well as you think you do.

So you think our values are bad? Values that have made us a great nation that leads the world in science, infrastructure and r&d. Values of human rights and advancement...

I think some of our values are absolutely reprehensible, such as the values which are transforming what began as a wonderful democracy into a militarily aggressive plutocracy. And I am hoping for a political miracle, such as a Bernie Sanders presidency, to bring about revolutionary reforms and return control of government to the People.

There isn't much better then what America stands for.

There are some better things and some worse things. What you need to understand is a jingoistic mindset is self-defeating and ultimately serves tyrannical interests. Refusal to objectively see what is wrong ensures it will never be fixed. There are none so blind as they who will not see.

There are a lot of winners -- none of whom are ordinary, decent people. They are the losers.

So let's see what Maddow has to show us.

You dont respond when you have no answers because you've posted utter bullshit.
Yeah we get that.

That mindset will certainly cancel your ability to make an objective assessment.

So why not keep an open mind, accept what makes sense to you and reject what doesn't? Let the conclusion depend on your ability to analyze rather than on what you are preconditioned by political bias to accept.

He's incapable of doing thatt.
