Why Russia is the enemy.. Remember Iraq?

WMD's in Iraq wasn't an "excuse". It was way down on the list of priorities that included about a hundred U.N. sanctions on the Saddam regime.. The democrat party and the media conspired to put WMD's at the top of the list and turn it into a political issue to make the Bush administration look bad. Even Bill Clinton said there were WMD's in Iraq and Bush gave Saddam about a year to get rid of them.
 
You really hate this country don't you asshole? All you ever do on this forum is post anti American hate and lies.

You can kiss my Cracker ass Commie!

The British started Operation Mass Appeal in 1997-98 to sell the invasion. It was the main goal in Bibi's Clean Break Strategy. The PNAC promoted the invasion in 1998. Clinton was too smart to take the bait.
 
You haven't chastised me or anyone else, you can't because you have no facts with which to do so.

You run your mouth like a sewer and then can't stand to be challenged as to your claims so you go on the attack.

You're an intellectual midget in a land of giants suffering from small man syndrome.

The fact of the matter is, under the rules of the UN, and the new international order after WWII, pre-emptive war was made a thing of the past, and only under very limited circumstances was it not made a thing that pariah states engaged in.

Who changed all that? GEORGE BUSH AND DICK CHENEY.

And Biden? A cog of the Deep State? Supported that bullshit. He caused the normalization of preemptive war in the modern era, so. . . . one could say, this is partially HIS FAULT!





" . . Ritter goes into great detail about how the U.S. finessed the law, or outright tried to create new legal arguments to get around the U.N. Charter in order to invade Iraq in 2003, as it had earlier bombed Serbia over Kosovo in 1999. The 2003 invasion was denounced as “illegal” by U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan and nearly everyone in Washington now says it was maybe the biggest foreign policy blunder in U.S. history. As WikiLeaks has revealed, not only was the crime of aggression committed, but also war crimes against civilians during the course of the war. And yet no one in government, the military or the media has paid a price.

It’s not just in Iraq and Serbia that the U.S. has made a mockery of the laws of war. There are abundant small examples from more obscure wars, like the 1989 invasion of Panama in which an entire poor neighborhood was pulverized, thousands of civilians were killed and there was no Security Council authorization. The U.S. said saving American lives allowed them to invade.

Then there was the time the U.S. massaged the law in the 1983 invasion of Grenada, which The New York Times — by today’s standards — took a very skeptical view of. In an article titled, “Legal Basis for Invasion,” the Times concludes that there wasn’t much of one. “The rationale suggested by the State Department today might be a significant departure insofar as it purports to provide a basis for ignoring the international law rules against invasions and interventions in the affairs of sovereign states whenever a few countries get together to form a collective security treaty,” the Times wrote on Oct. 27, 1983. . . ."

Sock Puppet alert
 
Agreed. Iraq was broken because the US made it so. After years of sanctions that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi children, which Maddy Halfbright said was worth it, and the constant threat of US military invasion Iraq was in desperate straights.


Recall the 11 years of brutal U.S. sanctions on Iraq. They targeted and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children. Yes, children, not one of whom ever initiated any violence against the United States. The goal? Again, regime change. The idea was that if the Iraqi people wanted to avoid the ever-increasing death toll of their children, they could oust Saddam Hussein from power and install a regime that was acceptable to U.S. officials. Alternatively, the idea was that Saddam Hussein, if he cared about the Iraqi children, would abdicate in favor of a pro-U.S. regime or simply agree to comply with U.S. dictates.

One of the fascinating aspects of the Iraqi sanctions was the indifference among U.S. officials to the death toll among children. It just didn’t matter to them that they were killing children. In their minds, they were just enforcing sanctions — i.e., rules and regulations. Their mindsets were a perfect demonstration of what Hannah Arendt called “the banality of evil.”

When U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Madeleine Albright was asked whether the deaths of half-a-million Iraqi children were worth it, she responded that while the matter was a difficult one, yes, the deaths were in fact “worth it.” No U.S. official, including her boss Bill Clinton, who some perceived as a great humanitarian, condemned Albright’s position. For that matter, neither did very many editorial or op-ed writers in the U.S. mainstream press.

First the sanctions were UN, not US and they happened because Saddam was violation the cease-fire agreement he signed to end Gulf War One.

Saddam worked very hard to convince everyone that he had WMD. He even had his own generals convinced. After the war when they were interrogated each one said "my unit didn't have any, but Mohammad over there's unit had them. It was a big daisey chain.
 
I'm always impressed by those so desperate for an original thought they have to spend hours on the net stealing the work of others because they lack the intellect to generate anything substantive of their own.

Just not in a good way.
