![]() "hk" wrote in message . .. There is no need to speculate over how many might be dead if Saddam were still in power. What's the point of that? The point is, Bush's actions resulted in the deaths of up to hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, and for what? For Bush's personal political reasons. For many reasons beside any personal political reasons. Many in Congress were calling to "disarm" Saddam during the Clinton administration and many of the most vocal were Dems. (We've already covered that and the "Intel" issue, yet the left continues to brush that fact aside.) The primary issue was Saddam's increasing refusal to comply with the UN resolutions agreed to and signed by Iraq after it was chased out of Kuwait, with Saddam being allowed to stay in power. Clinton's only action, other than parroting the above in speeches, was to lob a bunch of cruise missiles that accomplished nothing. (Many believe it was a "wag the dog" effort to distract media attention from his personal problems with "that woman".) Who knows for sure? The same Intel existed when Bush entered office. 9/11 put the US on a war footing against terrorism. He immediately went after bin Laden, having to first demolish the Taliban who were providing protection, and, receiving the same Intel about Iraq, including the threats of nuclear and biological WMDs that Clinton had, he made a case of it and demanded that Saddam comply with the UN resolutions. This demand was made despite the UN's weakness in doing anything to enforce their own resolutions. Saddam was given plenty of opportunity to comply, but became more resistant, buying time (to do what?). Even the chief UN weapons inspector, Kay, believed WMDs existed at this time and was venting his frustration at Saddam's stalling activities. (Kay later joined the anti-Bush conspiracy gang when events cast a shadow on his own believability.) Everything since then has been pure speculation by the conspiracy lovers. That's what I think.

To do so now would dry up our oil supply, a fact that cannot be ignored. You can't have national security with no oil at the moment. Eisboch |

And for the Dems, what would be your "nightmare ticket", Harry Either Hillary or Barack in the White House suits me just fine. You like nightmares?? ========================== Choose your favorite nightmare. They're all bought & paid for. There are no exceptions. Hopefully, you can figure out who's the best scumbag of the lot. When you do, come back and explain how you did it. No, you'll have to figure that out on your own. ============================ I have a system of sorts. I know every president since Carter has been on their knees, blowing the Saudi royal family, which is what got us into the **** we're in lately. That eliminates Hillary. Guilt through association. Romney never stops smiling. Give that asshole a pair of tacky white shoes and he could be selling used cars all day long. He's off the list. Huckabee is a disgrace even to some evangelicals. He's off the list. That leaves McCain & Obama. Maybe...just maybe they haven't been fondled by the Saudis, and in the moment of sanity, they'll do the right thing with that country. What would you have them do, oh bright one? Sell oil only to the Chinese and Russians? -- John H "Mr. Ambassador, remember the 20-30 pages of information hidden from the 9/11 commission? The information which would've made it clear that we should've invaded your country, instead of the wrong one? Would you like that information released to the press?" "Now, let's talk about the price of oil, shall we?" Farcical, and didn't answer the question. Saudi Arabia posed no threat to the USA, -- John H |
