Who KILLED 4,000 US troops & Most of the 87,000 Iraqis?

[Dragon]

It is too often forgotten, not least by historians, that George W. Bush did not invent the idea of deposing the Iraqi tyrant.

Bush is, however, the president who took us to war for that purpose. Clinton did not. That makes the war Bush's doing.

BUSH had the balls to do what you chickenshits talk about!
SO YES!
But of course YOU and the whimps you are had NO problem with Obama murdering Qaadifi!
YOu had NO problem in Obama/HOlder being involved in the ATF murder!

AND YET you moan and groan about 28 million people being freed from grotesque behaviour such as this:

So all you people that supported Saddam and his sons to do this..
"Uday and Qusay Hussein used electric drills on people while cutting out their tongues?Or how about taking the 148 men and boys Saddam ordered killed because on July 8th, 1982 the people of Dujail (a small Shiite village north of Baghdad)tried to assassinate Saddam"

At least 300,000 Iraqis murdered by Saddam's regime remains having been found and excavated. Thousands of Kurdish Iraqi civilians, among them babies in their mothers' arms, were gassed to death in chemical weapons attacks on Saddam's orders in 1988. For decades, Saddam's secret police, the feared Mukhabarat, tortured and murdered anyone suspected of opposing Saddam. Rape rooms and torture chambers were staples of his reign of terror, aptly dubbed the republic of fear.

You are really sick and disgusting!
Bush and the heros of Iraq freed 28 million people from the above!
Restored the Garden of Eden that Saddam was destroying!

AND because YOU CAN"T think without the nightly news telling you what you should believe... YOU dribble the pap about the poor Terrorists!
GEEZ... seriously how can you possibly defend a gang of thugs that put bombs on kids and send the kids to US troops who were giving them candy?

You admire that behavior and chasten Bush for putting a stop to the atrocities.. And then you take a blip, a VERY MINOR incident i.e. Abu Ghrib that less the 1/10th of 1% of the entire military and BLOW that so out of proportion that the world thinks that how the US military responds.. and then under th guise of "free speech" broadcast this as if it is the way EVERYONE in the military responds!

Totally disgusting that YOU excuse the chickenshit Democrats and their DEMANDING something be done..
AND THEN ***** and moan when Bush did something!

GUTLESS people like you really make me SICK!
I am truly ashamed of you as Americans!

 

[BlindBoo]

and yet you miss Saddam right???

Can you list the vital American interests that made the Iraq war necessary?

HERE LET ME LIST what Bill Clinton LISTED!!!

It is too often forgotten, not least by historians, that George W. Bush did not invent the idea of deposing the Iraqi tyrant. For years before he came on the scene, removing Saddam Hussein had been a priority embraced by the Democratic administration of Bill Clinton​ and by Clinton’s most vocal supporters in the Senate:

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas, or biological weapons. . . . Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: he has used them. Not once, but repeatedly. . . . I have no doubt today that, left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again.

These were the words of President Clinton on the night of December 16, 1998 as he announced a four-day bombing campaign over Iraq. Only six weeks earlier, Clinton had signed the Iraq Liberation Act authorizing Saddam’s overthrow—an initiative supported unanimously in the Senate and by a margin of 360 to 38 in the House.
“Iraqis deserve and desire freedom,” Clinton had declared. On the evening the bombs began to drop,
Vice President Al Gore​ told CNN’s Larry King:

You allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons. How many people is he going to kill with such weapons? . . . We are not going to allow him to succeed. [emphasis added]

SO PLEASE TELL ME why IT was so terrible that Bush executed what Gore/Clinton pushed to do but evidently didn't have the cajones to do?

President Bush used the tragedy of 9-11 to push his agenda to invade Iraq.

It has nothing to do with anyones balls. Clinton Couldn't even attack al Queda without being hounded with cat calls of "Waging the Dog".

Clinton enforced the no fly zone and UN sanctions that kept Iraq from being a threat to it's neighbors for over ten years. The Clinton administration contained Iraq and prevented Hussein from flexing what little muscle he had.

It was George Bush who screwed the pooch and ordered an unnecessary invasion that led to a civil war and almost 4500 US deaths

 

[Dragon]

BUSH had the balls to do what you chickenshits talk about!
SO YES!

Excellent. So you acknowledge that all the deaths, both American and Iraqi, were primarily Bush's fault.

I'm glad we finally agree.

But as for your assertion that it was the right thing to do: if it was, then Hitler was right to invade Poland. The one had just as much justification as the other.

 

[Dragon]

How many died in Iraq under Chickenshit/Warmonger Obama....


While he golfed/vacationed?

Too many. He should have, at the very least, kept his campaign promise and gotten us out in a year and a half after taking office.

 

[The T]

The primary blame lies with Bush, yes. Without Bush's manipulation we would never have gone to war in Iraq.

However, secondary blame must fall on every member of Congress who voted for the declaration of war.

NO...We have separation of POWERS...The Congress went along with it.

Try again asswipe.

Congress gave the authority based on the discretion of the Commander in Chief

It was Bushs decision alone to pull the trigger on the invasion

New IED bomb record set in Afghanistan...

IED attacks in Afghanistan set record
25 Jan.`12 - Attacks with makeshift bombs hit a record high of more than 16,000 in Afghanistan in the past year, and the increasing harm they cause to Afghan civilians indicates insurgents may lack strong leadership, military officials say.

The number of improvised explosive devices that were cleared or detonated rose to 16,554 from 15,225, an increase of 9%, according to data obtained by USA TODAY. In 2009, total IED "events," as they are known, came to 9,304. Insurgent reliance on IEDs as their No. 1 weapon meant a rise in concussions and severe wounds to U.S. servicemembers who have been operating on foot to root out Taliban fighters in remote areas. Civilians were increasingly becoming the main victims. The number of Afghans killed or wounded by IEDs jumped 10% in 2011, compared with 2010, according to figures released by the military command in Kabul. The bombs account for 60% of all civilian casualties, which totaled more than 4,000 killed or wounded in 2011. Insurgents caused more than 85% of those casualties.

The International Stability Assistance Force, which oversees coalition military operations, attributed the spike in civilian casualties to the increasing lack of control insurgent leaders have on their forces. "Despite orders from Mullah Omar to quit harming civilians, we saw increased use of IEDs harming Afghan adults and children," Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, an ISAF spokesman said, referring to Mohammed Omar, the leader of the Taliban. "If insurgencies are about winning the support — or at least the acquiescence — of the local population, this is a concerning trend for the Taliban," said Seth Jones, an expert on Afghanistan at the RAND Corp., a think tank.

The leaky border with Pakistan remains a problem, according to the Pentagon's Joint IED Defeat Organization, or JIEDDO, the Pentagon's lead agency for combating makeshift bombs. Pakistan is the source for 80% of the fertilizer-based homemade bombs in Afghanistan, JIEDDO says. Those bombs cause 90% of U.S. casualties. Jones said IEDs will continue to plague the coalition and civilians. "This is likely due to the ability of insurgents to import IED materials, including triggering devices and ammonium nitrate, from Pakistan," he said. Sen. Robert Casey, D-Pa., has pushed Pakistani officials to stem the flow of bombmaking materials. There has been progress, including the formation of counter-IED teams in Pakistan. But Casey said Wednesday he was "not satisfied" enough was being done to secure the border.

Unbelieveable how naive people like you BLAME Bush for doing what HAD to be done and yet you gave Obama a pass on Libya.. sending troops to Africa, Australia!!!

Iraq did not HAVE to be done.

So are you making your monthly mortgage or rent payment?
WHY?
Because you agreed to?
WHAT would happen if you didn't?
YOU'd be thrown out!

SADDAM agreed to the 1991 CEASE FIRE!
When he like you didn't KEEP the agreement he signed..
1991 Cease fire stopped and war resumed!

Simple as that but YOU and others KEEP forgetting that!

The cease-fire accords are a different matter.
Violation of a cease-fire treaty has long been accepted as one of the clearest moments allowing the renewal of hostilities;
the United Nations itself has repeatedly declared Iraq to be in "flagrant" violation of the cease-fire recorded in 1991 Security Council Resolution 687, and Iraq’s repeated transgressions have been so blatant and so contemptuous that the real question is not whether they present a legitimate recourse to war,
but why the United States and the international community have allowed them to go on for so long.

Just War, Not Prevention [Full Text]

I am asking you to think logically. Take some independent thinking without the biased MSM that hated Bush hate the USA and wanted the war lost!

AGAIN.. take some time and think INDEPENDENTLY and not mouth the same cliched, ignorant propaganda of unprincipled people who literally told our enemies the USA
was wrong.. our troops were killers and our troops were terrorists!
MY goodness why wouldn't those thug/barbarians which evidently you supported continue to use children receiving candy from our troops as bombers!
Why wouldn't these terrorists think you and evil leaders like Murtha who called our troops cold blooded killers (by the way the last soldier just this week was found NOT guilty -- Murtha is dead but despised by millions for helping terrorists prolong the conflict and these TERRORIST KILLED US TROOPS and most of the 87,000!

We put Sadaam into power, there was no reason for the world to trust us with regime change, and they did not trust us. Besides, the war was about oil, not regime change.

This is wrong on so many levels.

First off..Iraq is not a "rental" and is not "owned" by the US. Secondly, the "ceasefire" that was broken..was done because US jets were buzzing Iraqi anti-aircraft gun sites. And it's interesting that conservatives expected Iraq to follow UN resolutions to the letter while countries like Israel get a free pass.

In any case..most of the over 100,000 Iraqis killed..were killed by US actions.

YOU idiot! The point was an agreement was made you dumb shit!
Saddam signed April 6,1991 to stop and during the ensuing 12 years

To make their point, the Iraqis have fired on coalition aircraft over 700 times since 1998 alone, in an attempt to harm those engaged in the protection of the innocent—itself an action sufficient to trigger a presumption of just war.
The slow-motion tit-for-tat exchanges, in which the Iraqis fire at coalition forces and then those forces bomb the offending sites, are strategically pointless. But they draw attention to the fact that the United States and its allies are already at war with the Iraqis; one cannot "preempt" or "preventively attack" a regime whose forces one is already attacking on a regular basis.

Just War, Not Prevention [Full Text]

AND YOU ARE SO wrong about CLINTON... either you don't know or have forgotten!!!
On March 2,1991 the UN Security Council issued a resolution laying down the conditions for the cease-fire, which were accepted by Iraq in a meeting of military commanders on March 3.
March 1991 to 1998..

There were twelve resolutions from 1991-1998 declaring Iraq in violation of the cease fire, demanding compliance, and threatening "serious consequences."

Clinton's "serious consequences"..drops 241,000 pounds of bombs on Iraq, sends 1,100 missiles
December 16, 1998 8:51 p.m. EST (0151 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- From the Oval Office, President Clinton told the nation Wednesday evening why he ordered new military strikes against Iraq.
"Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors," said Clinton.
Timeline Iraq War IRAQ events... time line
In the first three months of 1999, U.S. led-forces bombarded Iraq with 241,000 pounds of bombs just shy of the 253,000 pounds dropped under President Bush in the eight months leading up to the final UN resolution before the war."


You blame Bush for abiding by Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 Public law 105-338 signed by Clinton and the"To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against Iraq." Oct. 16, 2002 Public law 107-243, 116 Stat.
passed the House on October 10, 2002 296-133, (68.9% of the house) the Senate on October 11 - 77-23. (77%)

SO again you idiot...

WERE YOU in America in 2001?
WERE YOU AWARE of the dancing in the streets of Iraq on 9/11/01??
WERE you aware of :
The Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 Public law 105-338 expressed the sense of congress
it should be policy to support efforts to remove from power the current Iraqi regime.
The Act found that Iraq had between 1980 and 1998 (1) committed various and significant violations of International Law, (2) had failed to comply with the obligations to which it had agreed to following the Gulf War and (3) further had ignored Resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. The Act declared that it was the Policy of the United States to support "regime change." The Act was passed 360-38 in the U.S. House of Representatives[2] and by unanimous consent in the Senate.[3] US President Bill Clinton signed the bill into law on October 31, 1998.
AND were you aware of these Democrats calling for WAR WITH IRAQ???

"..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

"Saddam to refine delivery systems, that will threaten the US..."Graham 2001

"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 I ask you again... WHAT did Bush do that was NOT the express will of the ABOVE AND CONGRESS??
