Question for you Psycho: If Iraq is guilty of aiding Osama Bin Laden and Al Queada, and therefore deserves to be invaded, does that mean anyone else who helped Osama Bin Laden deserves to be taken out as well?
I guess paying the familys of martyrs $25,000 doesn't count for much these days..........
It doesn't count when the US does it so why should it count for them?

Bush 41 and the neocons wanted Hussein to attack Kuwait so they could put bases there which they did ....

Did Sadam gas the Kurds? Yeah, with good old American technical support. According Iraq's report to the UN, the know-how and material for developing chemical weapons were obtained from firms in such countries as: the United States, West Germany, the United Kingdom, France and China.[1] By far, the largest suppliers of precursors for chemical weapons production were in Singapore (4,515 tons), the Netherlands (4,261 tons), Egypt (2,400 tons), India (2,343 tons), and West Germany (1,027 tons). One Indian company, Exomet Plastics (now part of EPC Industrie) sent 2,292 tons of precursor chemicals to Iraq. The Kim Al-Khaleej firm, located in Singapore and affiliated to United Arab Emirates, supplied more than 4,500 tons of VX, sarin, and mustard gas precursors and production equipment to Iraq.[2]
There's been quite a bit of French bashing here, but I personally like to measure a country by its beauty, culture, food, etc., not its ability to be an international thug who bullies other countries to further its own monetary interests.

You should know my answer on that one but here it is.......HELL YEAH!

Yeah, reality check.........when do we pay the families of martyrs? I suppose there is some left wing story that can be twisted to suit the need.

Don't forget folks at home .... Hussein was the US's buddyboy ....
:noel:
He WAS an allie to not only the U.S. but also Kuwait, Saudi Arabia just to mention a few in the middle east during the Iran/Iraq war. By the way, that is when we supplied the chems.........NOT to take out the Kurds like you implied.

Oh hell yeah.....Like their ambitions in Vietnam before they cut and run.....or their actions in Albania before they cut and run......or thier actions in Rwanda during the genocide.........or their actions in Sudan. REAL beauty under the film of dirt.

Have a good one!:s4:
Well, I've got to hand it to you, you certainly aren't trying to win a popularity contest. It seems you are outnumbered in here about three to one, but you stick to the rhetoric all the way, I don't know if you're that convinced or just like my dad was, stubborn. Anyway I see it as a good thing. If everyone agreed, it would just get boring, and in fact every once in a while I see a little glimmer of light in your responses. Come on out from the darkside, we'll accept you with open arms,~LOL~.

Well then, it's time to batten down the hatches my friend, because we were helping the old boy before Saddam(allegedely) was. Have you forgotten when those nasty Ruskies invaded Afgahnistan? I had slipped my mind until fishman reminded me :thumbsup: . Back then Osama was our golden boy. Of course back then radical Islam wasn't nearly as scary as the Red Menace I guess helping terrorists is bad as long as it doesn't benefit our interests. When it does though...

LMAO!!! :vader1: I'll stick to the darkside thank you! :thumbsup:
Politics is all about debate and exchanging ideas.....like you stated, "If everyone agreed, it would just get boring".
The U.S. is sitting at about the same 3:1 ratio with world opinion but.........when your "right" your right.........LOL
