the only reason were over there is because saddam tried to have bush's father assassinated in the first war and since senior din't catch saddam he felt he needed to do it for his father. its a fact that bush had plans for iraq regime change before he even became president. Theres a video "i can't find it" that he was in an interview talking with someone when he admit that part of the reason for invading is because they tried to have his father killed. point is, Iraq was stable and din't have terrorists prior to invading (Saddam hated terrorists himself) once we invaded to "liberate" we killed thousands and now iraq is a breeding ground for terrorists.. Yeah good one mr bush.
Stop it man, you're killing me.. I can't stop laughing.. ... I don't think I can contain myself long enough to continue to respond... It's gonna be another weird weekend on DP..
I said it before.. And I'll say it again... IMO the greatest threat to world peace is the GREED of mankind! Let's all do something good for somebody without getting anything in return.. If everyone lived that way, or by the golden rule, this world would be a much happier, productive, loving place!
More Youtube crap!! Jeez do you really believe every video you see? Or is it only the ones that bash America and Bush? SANTA CLAUSE PROOF - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W1N6XwMcDI
" President Bush attempted to convince the nation that Saddam Hussein had WMD as justification for invading Iraq in 2003. In Oct. 2002, for example, he stated, “If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today — and we do — does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons?†But today on the progressive radio program The Cappy McGarr Show, host Cappy McGarr reveals through a conversation with former Sen. Majority Leader Tom Daschle that in private, Bush’s real motivation was a personal vendetta: Of all the reasons used to justify this awful war, the one that stunned me the most…and will shock you…was the one I heard from a close friend of mine former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Senator Daschle was Majority Leader at the time. The Senate and The House Leadership were meeting with President Bush for a weekly breakfast back then, and as our country was leading up to the Iraq war. … Bush got to talking about why we needed this war, and here’s what he said to Senator Daschle “We need to get Saddam Hussein…that Mother _______ tried to take out my Dad.†Bush’s feelings for Saddam have long been intensely personal. In 2002, he said to CNN, “Oh, yes, I hate Saddam Hussein. I don’t hate a lot of people. I don’t hate easily.†Six days later at a fundraiser in Texas, Bush said, “There’s no doubt he [Saddam] can’t stand us. After all, this is the guy that tried to kill my dad at one time.†Bush was referring to an “alleged plot by Iraqi intelligence to assassinate Bush’s father.†It’s troubling that Bush believed he could use U.S. troops as personal hitmen to avenge a grudge. " Thats from one source, i know theres a video out there with an interview with like cnn or something where bush says he hates saddam and he wanted to get him because he tried to kill his dad. This isn't a hidden fact, i'm not saying this was the only reason why he invaded Iraq but it was a good portion for pushing it to happen just so he could get at Saddam.
I'm sure he hated Saddam and I'm sure it may have motivated him, but he was getting intelligence stating Saddam had WMD. Perhaps it was wrong, but it did not come from him, it did not come from the US, it came from elsewhere. And other countries that saw the same evidence, agreed it needed to be researched and inspected. Then your buddy Saddam says ok, you can look here, but don't look here. Does that not imply some amount of guilt or suspicion? I think it does. So the point is, so what , maybe it was a bit personal, but it was not the sole reason for the invasion, anyone that thanks it is is an idiot.
once again your a tard for not reading correctly i never said it was the sole reason for invasion i said it probably had a huge part to play for his own personal reasons to push the war to happen. As far as him getting intelligence that saddam had WMD is all bogus BS. he had plans to invade iraq before he was even president. And guess what they din't find any WMD its all a BS excuse to get us in iraq. And guess what! We still haven't found any and the country is in worse shape than when we invaded! FAIL... Bush needs to hang.
I highly doubt US would let other countries look in their country for one. So that doesn't necessary imply anything. And I don't think their so called intelligent were that accurate and I think they knew that before hand. But went in anyways because of the varies reasons that I'm sure you heard many times already.
Well that is a complete assumption, considering it was NATO, not America who warranted the inspection, its also irrelevant. However if it came down to it im sure your wrong, but that is also an assumption on my behalf.
America is the best country in the world. Your little conspiracy theories will never amount to anything. The intelligence on WMD seemed legitimate enough to every other country, Why is Bush so horrible because he believed it too. There have been plans to take Saddam out for a long time, and America was not the only one planning, We were just the only one with the courage to pull it off. Saddam sucked, and who cares how it happened, he needed to be removed. So....From America....Your Welcome.
American needs to apologize for making the world more unstable. That's the right thing to do. And there we go again with the best country thing. Under what context are you evaluating whats a best country?
oh saddam was such a threat to me way over here thank you for invading his country killing shit loads of citizens, thanks for sacrificing 3,000 us soldiers to take this evil man with weapons of mass destruction out of power. Yes yes we got so much out of this. Thousands of death for one man. Yes thank you mr bush you are so smart. oops /sarcasm off.
How many Iraqi civillians died and US Soliders? Think about it. wow that was a great trade wasn't it sb. I mean like seems like such a no brainer to make, I should really thank bush for that. If those were american civillians that were picked off in your state instead of iraqi civillians your opinion would be different. But because its overseas at some other country you are safe from the war, you are ok with it.
America is not the cause, it is the solution. Things usually get bad before they get better. I guess i am assuming it is the best because i hear all of these jealous comments, that talk so bad about America, yet their own government is guilty of much more pain, of much more corruption. Thank about it. America escaped from that very corruption centuries ago. I admit we have found our own, but we are progressing. Most Americans love this country. America is the land of opportunity. Many people from other countries come to this forum to deal and do business with Americans, so they can make that American dollar. You make your own assumptions i live here, i know how great it is. I dont know where you are, but you welcome.
You lived there you know its great ok. Where else have you lived? And how has Canada caused more pain and more corruption.
i think i actually remember some of your posts from awhile back SB. i don't think your too popular here on DP. I wonder why.
Numbers in the thousands i believe, but as for the soldiers, they volunteered to die for their country. Most of those men would not have wanted to die any other way. We have had our share of civilian deaths in America i assure you. The thing is we would rather prevent that from happening which is the whole point of the war. We get word of a plan to attack America and we beat them to the punch. How is that a bad thing. Should we wait and be attacked?
