Dumbass, there were zero sanctions against Iraq until Saddam decided to invade Kuwait to steal their wealth, rape their women and kill whoever got in their way.

As for terrorists hiding under the No Fly Zone areas, the US military was there to enforce illegal aircraft in the air not worry about who was hiding in a hut below. Bill Clinton needed to direct bombing of specific targets on the ground. He was too scared to bomb UBL's camps in Afghanistan so hell would freeze over before he started randomly bombing some so-called terrorist camp in Iraq not aligned with Saddam at the time.

The media and democratic party can take the most simple of things and turn into pure spammed out spin
1) Saddam was given an ultimatum by the UN Gulf war 1 that he ignored
2) 9-11
3) Saddam was removed from power as a result of non compliance of UN regulations
4) 2002, Al Qeada makes a presence in Iraq
5) in 2006 Zarqawi is killed
6) 2011 the war is over

Which material breach of UN Resolution 686 did Saddam violate?

Where was al Qaeda located inside Iraq in 2002? Possibly under the protection of the northern no-fly zone?

Why don't you worry more about the war crimes committed by the greatest purveyor of violence on the face of this planet today?

 

[ERGO]

It amazes me that people make this about everything but what these events are really about
and GWB never lied
There were WMDs found in Iraq

But what is more important is was not GWB place to prove anything, it was Saddams
And
Al Qaeda was in Iraq prior to us invading, mostly OBL's deputy, Zarqawi

Horror Of US Depleted Uranium In Iraq Threatens World
American Use Of DU is "A crime against humanity which may, in the eyes of historians, rank with the worst atrocities of all time."
US Iraq Military Vets "are on DU death row, waiting to die."

"I'm horrified. The people out there - the Iraqis, the media and the troops - risk the most appalling ill health. And the radiation from depleted uranium can travel literally anywhere. It's going to destroy the lives of thousands of children, all over the world. We all know how far radiation can travel. Radiation from Chernobyl reached Wales and in Britain you sometimes get red dust from the Sahara on your car."

The speaker is not some alarmist doom-sayer. He is Dr. Chris Busby, the British radiation expert, Fellow of the University of Liverpool in the Faculty of Medicine and UK representative on the European Committee on Radiation Risk, talking about the best-kept secret of this war: the fact that, by illegally using hundreds of tons of depleted uranium (DU) against Iraq, Britain and America have gravely endangered not only the Iraqis but the whole world.

Dumbass....

1) Your stats about who died or was injured in Iraq is 99% of the time inflated, bogus numbers. You scum just threw around huge numbers during the invasion piece.
2) Anyone that died in Iraq while Saddam and his sons stole from the Oil for Food program, died at the hands of Saddam and his sons.
3) Where are your stats on the number of people killed and tortured by Saddam and his sons?

So in your tiny mind, the average Iraqi was better off living in fear of Saddam and his sons instead of today with the democratic govt trying to build their country to a peaceful middle east country with a lot of wealth to be shared.

Mental ward patients like you with internet access is bad.

FYI idiot, Saddam started the entire war by invading Kuwait back in the 90s. We just didn't show up in Iraq when Bush JR got into the White House.

Now get back on your meds, asswipe.

Here's another war crime that happened "back in the 90s."

"These results provide strong evidence that the Gulf war and trade sanctions caused a threefold increase in mortality among Iraqi children under five years of age. We estimate that an excess of more than 46,900 children died between January and August 1991. (N Engl J Med 1992;327:931–6.)"

How many US children did Saddam kill, Stupid?

MMS: Error

In your nonexistent mind do the one in four Iraqis who have died, been displaced, maimed, or incarcerated since March 2003 deserve their fates? What threat did Saddam pose to the US? When did the UN Security Council authorize the US invasion of Iraq? If you can't answer either question, the invasion of Iraq was a war crime.

BTW, those "inflated, bogus numbers" come from the New England Journal of Medicine and most stem from heroic US bombs falling on water treatment plants that were located hundreds of miles from Kuwait.

Maybe you can tell us which country is the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet today?

Now how many of those did the coalition kill?
An how many did A Qaeda kill?
And how many did Saddam kill

Number of Victims

According to The New York Times, "he [Saddam] murdered as many as a million of his people, many with poison gas. He tortured, maimed and imprisoned countless more. His unprovoked invasion of Iran is estimated to have left another million people dead. His seizure of Kuwait threw the Middle East into crisis. More insidious, arguably, was the psychological damage he inflicted on his own land. Hussein created a nation of informants — friends on friends, circles within circles — making an entire population complicit in his rule".[9] Others have estimated 800,000 deaths caused by Saddam not counting the Iran-Iraq war.[10] Estimates as to the number of Iraqis executed by Saddam's regime vary from 300-500,000[11] to over 600,000,[12] estimates as to the number of Kurds he massacred vary from 70,000 to 300,000,[13] and estimates as to the number killed in the put-down of the 1991 rebellion vary from 60,000[14] to 200,000.[12] Estimates for the number of dead in the Iran-Iraq war range upwards from 300,000.[15]

You Liberals amaze me. You attack the coalition on freeing Iraq, removing Saddam, ending his weapons program for ever and killing is own people for ever
You say nothing in support of the coalition that remove him and killed the very people that conducted 9-11 in Iraq, Al Qaeda
Most all casualties in Iraq came from the few Saddam loyalist and Al Qaeda loyalist that entered Iraq prior to our invasion

Iraq war costs, so far:

• American military deaths in Iraq: Approximately 4,500
• American soldiers wounded: Approximately 33,000
• American soldiers permanently mentally/emotionally damaged: Unknown thousands
• American military families destroyed or damaged: Unknown thousands
• Cost of war, in dollars: Approximately $807 billion

And what have we received for these absolutely horrific costs?

• Saddam is dead. Since his death, the balance of power in the Middle East has dramatically shifted towards Iran

• Stockpiles of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Oh. Wait. Check that, no fucking WMD.

• We're stuck trying to nation-build, and we know damn well that the bad guys will return the minute our troop levels are low enough, even if that means decades. Just as in Afghanistan.

It's absolutely stunning to see that anyone is still trying to spin this disaster into something positive. Some people are very brave with the lives, limbs, minds, families and dollars of others.

God damn.

Using the lords name in vain has no place here
your opinion of the events in Iraq mean nothing to many of us, there just opinions

Al Qaeda killed most of the people in Iraq, that would be the same bunch that was behind 9-11
Iraq was on our side from the start for the most part

Yes those brave kids volunteered to be there, unlike you they believed they were doing the right thing
Spin?
Saddam ignoring UN regs was not spin
Al Qaeda being in Iraq before we invaded is not spin
Blair elaborates:

There is an interesting sidebar to this. It later emerged that [Abu Musab] al-Zarqawi, the deputy to bin Laden, had come to Iraq in May 2002, had had meetings with senior Iraqis and established a presence there in October 2002. This intelligence has not been withdrawn, by the way. Probably we should have paid more attention to its significance, but we were so keen not to make a false claim about al Qaeda and Saddam that we somewhat understated it, at least on the British side.

Blair’s testimony directly contradicts the Democrats. Still, in the British manner, he continues to understate the case.

Intelligence compiled by American officials, as well as the testimony of known al Qaeda associates, confirms that al Qaeda established a significant presence in Iraq prior to March 2003. The evidence that al Qaeda was in Iraq before the war is simply overwhelming. And it helps to explain why the insurgency became so lethal.

Even though Blair says it “later emerged” that Zarqawi had set up shop in Iraq in 2002, this connection was actually a formal part of the American case for war. Secretary of State Colin Powell included a section on Zarqawi’s network in Iraq in his February 5, 2003, presentation before the United Nations.

WMDs were found, over 500 of them that were suppose to have been destroyed

Munitions Found in Iraq Meet WMD Criteria, Official Says

By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2006 – The 500 munitions discovered throughout Iraq since 2003 and discussed in a National Ground Intelligence Center report meet the criteria of weapons of mass destruction, the center's commander said here today.
"These are chemical weapons as defined under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and yes ... they do constitute weapons of mass destruction," Army Col. John Chu told the House Armed Services Committee.
The Chemical Weapons Convention is an arms control agreement which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons. It was signed in 1993 and entered into force in 1997.

The surrender of Saddam in 91 was contingent of Saddam adhering to terms of his surrender
He lied
The UN failed in enforcing same
35 countries enforced them post 9-11 and when Al Qaeda returned to Iraq trying to escape Afghanistan
The UN gave there approval in 91, there was no need to approve it again, besides it is not there place to decide what was best for us
35 other countries agreed as well as most of the Iraqi people. they hung Saddam for a reason

Dumbass, there were zero sanctions against Iraq until Saddam decided to invade Kuwait to steal their wealth, rape their women and kill whoever got in their way.
