the sanctions were working. Our own secretary of state explicitly said exactly that months BEFORE 9/11.
And you know better. The sanctions were causing suffering amongst the rank and file Iraqi. Saddam meanwhile was siphoning off Oil for Food bucks into his personal stash, and making deals with France purchasing their UN vote for cut-rate oil.
Saddam defied the UN to the end. All he had to do was comply with the terms of a ceasefire HE agreed to. The ink wasn't even dry before he was defying it.
The sanctions weren't designed to limit Saddam's bank account. Colin Powell stated unequivocably that the sanctions WERE working.
What data would you like? Data that proves Saddam, manufactured, posesseed and used WMDs?
The sanctions were designed to bring Saddam and his regime into compliance; which, they failed to do.
Like they'd been working all the previous times?
They weren't working. THey never worked. It was time to pull the plug.
Not an ignorant sheep like you, at least.
Given the fact you think all Americans are morons, I feel honored to be considered among them. I'd rather be an American Moron than an anti-American piece of shit such as yourself.
so now you know more that the former secretary of state?
what an arrogant moron you are!
oh, you mean like insisting that a nation DISARM when they don't have the WMDs that they are accused of having?
I mean like do what you agreed to do. He got his ass kicked. He agreed to terms to stop that ass-kicking. He lived up to none.
Fact is, if Saddam had been taken care of when he should have, he would have been a historical issue by the time Bush took office.
And if he didn't have any WMDs then the dumbass shouldn't have acted like he did and give the entire world the impression he was playing a shell game with inspectors.
One point at time here:
When. When did he have them? Did he have them when we attacked? If he didn't, why the shit did we attack him then. If as the Weapons instpectors said ,and has been shown to date that they destroyed most of them, why did we attack? If you say he sent them all to other countries, then please don't ever complain about leftwing conspiracy theories again.
What about the Mushroom Cloud statements by Condi? How close was Saddamn to a bomb?
Please let's cover another piece of data and discuss it.
935 times. Documented lies. And we are supposed to believe everyone of those was not a lie, right?
And the old saw that the right brings up about we discussed that already doesn't carry water if you didn't prove it wrong, but just moved on to another topic.
Sort of like Bush said he couldn't discuss the Libby case as long as it was an on-going investigation. Well, it isn't anymore and the little liar still won't discuss it .
Colin Powell would disagree with you.
They were working. they weren't DONE working, but they WERE working. Like I said, to point to Saddam's bank accounts as proof that they weren't shows you really don't know what they were intended to do.
He can disagree all her wants, and so can you. It's pretty obvious what they were put in place for, and I think trying to discount the fact that the sanctions were having NO effect on the very person they were supposed to affect would be an obvious statement that YOU really don't know what they were intended to do.
the sanctions were against a government, not a person.
and like I said, you may be one smart gunny sergeant, but if I had to put money on who knew more about the effectiveness or lack thereof of sanctions on Iraq, I would have to go with the former four star, CJCS, and secretary of state. sorry.
Powell did not lie. Powell became a puppet for bush, DICK, AND rove. He was so embarassed by what the three stooges had him do that he left public life and will probably never return. Another good one that fell prey to the bush wh. A top notch military man who wasn't listened to and was turned away while the Cheney war machine was planning.
The GOP payed heavily in 2006 and they will pay even more in 2008. It will literally take generations for the GOP to recover from the bush-DICK years.
Well yeah ... except Saddam WAS the government. That's arguing semnatics, IMO.
I'm not offended. The fact that sanctions were NOT working was quite obvious to anyone paying attention throughout the 12+ years they were in place. If you choose to disregard that in favor of quoting someone who agrees with you while disagreeing with the administration, that's on you.
The whole problem with you, and threads like this is ... some of you people need to figure out how to use a dictionary and look up the word "lie." It's quite obvious some of y'all are oblivivious to the definition.
Here's a good example of a lie: Claiming someone lied after the fact for acting on information that later turned out to be incorrect, PURPOSEFULLY knowing it is an attempt to deceive/mislead anyone that will listen to you.
