No, he wasn't our friend.
Not only was he involved in the invasion of Kuwait in 1990, he had attempted to assassinate President George Bush, and had been firing on our Air Force jets.
The CIA used him as means of balancing power in the region during the 1980s so that Iran, with Soviet funding, did not become the regional hegemon.
The war is all about Profitering,
No, it wasn't.
And it's a little silly to have to explain all of this over again. This stuff has been discussed countless time here.
But in short- 1. Iraq had been very aggressive to the U.S. They did have weapon programs. They were regional sponsors of terror. And they were about to successful have the UN drop the sanctions on their country.
2. And it was an example of "Idealist Foreign Policy." Because it was believed that Iraq had an infrastructure and the ability to sustain a genuine middle class population, it was believed that it could sustain some kind of democratic styled government. And in doing so, spread that influence throughout the region.
All of this is in an effort to prevent broader wars in the future.
a chance to capitalize on way. old vice president Dick even worked for a military production company.
Haliburton? They don't produce military equipment.
Which military production company are you talking about.
...would'nt you think that is a motiv?
No.
Or how about the fact that congress gave the president permission to attack a country when necessary following 9/11 and to which George W said "why not Iraq?"
See, this is what happens when a propaganda film gives misleading, incomplete "complicated" information to someone who doesn't understand what they are watching.
Al-Queda isn't a country. It's a terrorist organization, almost better understood as a franchise. They operate in countries all around the world. And all kinds of terrorist organizations can operate under the name of Al-Queda as well.
What war on terror have we prevented in these 7years of "war" I prefer to call it an "assault" since the other party never wanted to fight back...
You're making less and less sense as these posts continue.
Wht war on terror did we prevent? The question doesn't make sense.
Has the "War on Terror" prevented attacks, disrupted organization, and killed bad guys. Absolutely. Around the world.
Have we uncovered evidence and information that have prevented attacks, yes.
but resistant has climed since the occupation of Iraq will be perminant.
Watching one propaganda movie doesn't make you an expert.
I don't know how to respond to your comments because- frankly, I don't think you understand what you're saying- and you're basing it all on a four year old anti-war movie.
The ideals for the previous Regime of our government was to become the NEW AGE ROME...but in it's persuits have us crumbled and maybe someday we will be nothing left, just like them.
....you really need an education on this stuff....
You really don't have any idea what you're talking about.
Are you trying to say that the GWB Administration modeled itself on the Roman empire? That is idiotic.
