Proof Saddam had WMDs..he let 525,000 kids starve !

[healthmyths]

Citing information on maternal and child mortality rates collected by UNICEF, Professor Richard Garfield estimates that between 1991 and 2002,
the number of excess deaths in Iraq among children under age 5 is 343,900 to 525,400.
Iraq Sanctions Kill Children, U.N. Reports - NYTimes.com

Initially the UN Security Council imposed stringent economic sanctions on Iraq by adopting and enforcing United Nations Security Council Resolution 661.
After the end of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, those sanctions were extended and elaborated on, including linkage to removal of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), by Resolution 687. The sanctions banned all trade and financial resources except for medicine and "in humanitarian circumstances" foodstuffs, whose import into Iraq was tightly regulated.

SO WHY if all that was needed to keep 115,000 children from starving per year, was for Saddam to remove WMDs, why didn't he do it..
especially when we find out he supposedly never had them...even though the below Democrats insisted?

More importantly this proved Saddam had WMDs or why else for just a sham would he allow 525,000 kids to starve...
just because he didn't want the world to know he didn't have WMDs?

Would you allow 525,000 kids to starve just so you could continue the sham???

32 democrat quotes indicate even before GWB that Saddam was a threat!

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.

What other possible reason did Saddam allow 500,000 children to die of starvation when all he had to do was certify the destruction of his WMDs that EVERYONE knew he had?

This is from 2003. PBS special interview.
Remember THIS is before the Liberation of Iraq takes place.

Remember Bush administration got a lot of information from the defection of Saddam's son-in-law.. who knew everything about Iraqi WMDs!

Maybe this PBS special with an interview conducted on Jan. 4, 2003 with Kenneth Pollack,
Pollack served as director for Gulf affairs at the National Security Council from 1995-1996 and from 1999-2001. Before that, he spent seven years in the CIA as a Persian Gulf military analyst. In this interview, he argues that Iraq is "a unique threat that does require an extraordinary response, a preemptive response by the United States and its allies to prevent Saddam Hussein from ever acquiring the weapons of mass destruction, in particular the nuclear weapons that would make him perhaps an insurmountable threat."

After that, Saddam began to focus his attention on the inspectors, thinking that the inspectors were the weak point that he could use to start to erode the containment machine. And, in fact, he had intended to start a series of crises over the inspections in the summer of 1995. He got preempted though, by his son-in-law, Hussein Kamel, the number-two man in Iraq, [who] chose to defect basically as a result of a whole series of bizarre circumstances.

Hussein Kamel's defection threw a monkey wrench into Saddam's plans because Hussein Kamel knew everything about the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programs. He had been the man responsible for building them. He was also part of the highest-level committee that Saddam had, that was responsible for hiding the weapons on mass destruction.

So, as a result, Saddam was temporarily forced to once again give in and comply with the inspections. And for a very brief period of time, he surrendered again a huge amount of WMD material to try to buy off the inspections and to say, "Well, yes, you know, Hussein Kamel did some things, but we're clean now."

Everyone knows Saddam had WMD's and was dealing to get more. The Democrats know it, they just can't let go of, "bush lied, people died". It's just too good a rallying cry for them to rouse the idiots that are Democrat voters.

If starving children made US military intervention a necessity, we'd have to have most of our citizens in uniform in some foreign country.

If starving children made US military intervention a necessity, our military would be surrounding the republicans in Congress.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Well, the war didn't bring any of those kids back to life. If anything, it just added to their numbers.

 

[healthmyths]

Kids died thanks to UN sanctions.

YOU are the dumbest most uncompassionate person in the world out side of Saddam!

YOU'd probably BLAME the cop for your getting a ticket WHEN YOU were speeding.

See YOU are taking Saddam's side!
HE had ONLY to certify he didn't have WMDs!

So either he did have and GWB was right to get rid of him... OR
He didn't and GWB was right to get rid of him as he WAS STARVING the kids... NO ONE ELSE was to blame!


ANY of idiots like Leslie Stahl, etc. who keep using that excuse are just as culpable as Saddam!

Why is it so hard for idiots like you,Stahl, et.al. that can't BLAME Saddam!

All he had to do was certify his WMDs were destroyed!
Thank God for GWB because if the sanctions were still in place Saddam would have starved MILLIONS and did who knows what else!

You in your totally misguided FEELINGS would be abetting the millions more in STARVATION because obviously YOU thought Saddam was right to refuse
to certify the destruction of WMDs!

Geez this world is sick when people like you defend Saddam!

 

[healthmyths]

Well, the war didn't bring any of those kids back to life. If anything, it just added to their numbers.

AGAIN Blame the USA for 100,000 Iraqi DEATHS the majority of which were caused by the terrorists!

I truly can't fathom people like you that BLAME the people that were there to help..i.e. the USA!

YOU are no better then these asses that ENCOURAGED the terrorists to continue recruiting more civilians to be killed!
U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D) "Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”

This told the terrorists they were justified to put bombs on little kids who when handed candy by US troops blew themselves up.. because
after all U.S. congress man said the troops killed innocent people.. SO that was OK to blow them and the little kids up!
SICK..

Senator Kerry (D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."

For once you idiot defenders of these statements TELL ME.. do you think ALL American troops are terrorists?
If so then you like the terrorists think ALL Americans are worse then the terrorists right? Go ahead admit it! The SoS said so! US troops are terrorists!

Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

and of course all you mindless uninformed can't imagine what the enemy would use to kill thousands and their justification... Durbin and other
USA congress members telling the enemy ..HEY YOU GUYS are justified!

Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"

Now this guy is the Commander-in-Chief over all the military. Do you think the military is very happy to salute a CIC who thinks that our
military methodically "air-raiding villages and killing civilians"?

So would you sacrifice several thousand American lives and spend a few trillion dollars to end the bloodshed, in, say, the Congo?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Our mistake was invading Iraq in 1991.

 

[natstew]

Remember the "Oil for food and medicine" program? Saddam got enough money to peovide exellent food and healthcare to all the children, but he spent it on military and attempts to get more WMD's

 

[Howey]

Does anyone take healthmyths seriously? Seems bit of a rambling idiot.

Sounds a lot like 007.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Proof Saddam had WMDs..he let 525,000 kids starve !

A broken head argument. Step along, hm.

 

[healthmyths]

It is JUST like you phony balony "compassionate" liberal ignoramuses!
You get all hissy faced about "oh those poor kids getting shot" while defending Saddam and his starving half a million!
And then when the good guys the USA Liberates the 28 million Iraqis, provides them with great improvements in their freedom.. YOU kick the
USA good guys in the face!

What you idiots don't seem to know is THE MAJORITY of Americans are NOT like you but like ME!
They know the USA is a good country. Bush was an excellent President. AND they haven't forgotten 9/11, worst hurricanes, dot.com bust!
THEY lived through it and you suck faces... sit around and play with each other while real people are working paying taxes and doing what all AMericans have done before HELPED OUT the world..
You suck faces wanted Saddam to stay in power didn't you so he could murder millions more people!
How disgusting!!!
