What difference does it make which 300 he was charged with? He wound up with the death penality regardless. As for your opinion of the Kurds, is that some kind of sick joke? As for WMD's, who else has poison gas? Who else has demonstrated the propensity to use them. BTW, go back and read why we invaded them. It had nothing to do with WMD's directly. It was because he refused to abide to the UN terms of surrender from the previous war.
Those were all removed by the United Nations after the first war so the ones they supposedly had to justify the second war, didn't exist. It is a known fact now that the reports from the CIA were not credible and it's a known fact that Colin Powell left the Bush Administration over that. Ribbit
Hey rim's; do you really think we dont have poison gas? Or that the Russians dont? Arent you concerned that a 3rd world nation is beating the crap out of us? In World War II we took on the biggest war machine since Alexander the Great and beat them in less than three years. So what gives? Why is the Iraq thing taking so long? And now the US takes it upon itself to act militarily against those that break UN terms? Why did a couple of thousand kids have to die over something that couldve been resolved with diplomacy? Dont get me wrong; I think we should apply the FPL theory to entire Mid-East. All of it. Yes the turds, er I mean kurds too. Then we can argue about whether it was right or wrong. But it would still be gone. I just dont like to hear excuses. Bottom line is Bush wanted to avenge his father.
You're re-writing history. The decision to go to war was nearly unanimous on both sides & the overwhelming majority of US citizens agreed as well. Did we get some bad info? Apparently so, but hindsight is always 20/20.
The US was only in world war 2 from 1942 to 1945 thats 3 years rim's. Or do I need to relearn math also? And so what if diplomacy lasts for years. No American is getting killed in the meantime. Your right Vietnam lasted that long. I guess we didnt learn anything from that. By the way, we lost that one.
Fools like you are the reason we can't end a war in 3 years anymore! WW2 ended rather quickly because we brought all our resources to bear on an easily identifiable enemy. Our enemies aren't as easy to pick out anymore and there are people like you who would defend them & tie the military's hands to such a degree that we can't wage an effective war against them. It makes me sick to hear you blame the US for everything that happens.
I see Clinton didn't use bad intel to go to war but the Cheney Group had no problems doing it! As a matter of fact, the CIA was Cheney's personal tool to use against anyone that stood in the way of his plans, personal plans. Ribbit
The real questions are . . . Why are we at war with them? What did we do that pissed them off enough to do what they did on 911? If you ever realize that what our government has been doing, has alienated so many, then you'd realize that 911 was caused by us sticking our nose where it doesn't belong but someone like you wouldn't understand that, since you can't get your nose out of Bush's butt long enough to refresh the oxygen in your brain so you can start thinking correctly. It is people like you that takes us to war when we shouldn't be at war! Make love, not war!!!! Ribbit
I did not realize Pearl Harbor was in 1942. I guess that we need to rewrite the history books. And beside that, you stated "less than 3 years"
And learn how not to be an infidel. I guess we should not have participated in the crusades. Maybe "they" would love us by now because we would be under Shia law
They are using the same math that the peeps are using to say that Obama only has 150 or so days of experience to lead our nation. Plus, they must be a product of our public education system (U.S.) since the war officially began in 1939 but the U.S. didn't get involved until the end of 1941. Ribbit
I guess you think the U.S.'s policy with Cuba has worked well too? It's been almost 50 years now and it is clear it hasn't worked! Ribbit
Are you really an American? Yes Pearl Harbor was in December, 1941. The seventh If I'm not mistaken. And We landed in North Africa on December 8, 1941. Right? Lets just say I'm pretty sure it took a little while for us to get everything together. Hmm, let's say a month. Would that be unreasonable? We didnt Bomb Tokyo until April of 1942 Maybe you should learn history, Bub. Yea less than three years. April 18, 1942- April 9, 1945. Isnt that less? I was talking about beating the Nazis. They had a powerful war machine. Jeez.
Well wouldnt you rather be right the first time. sure americans wanted they were angry and it was a knee jerk reaction. I wanted them all dead ALL of them every man woman and child. But I'm a hot head. A hot head should not be President. Dont ya think?
I said we referring to Americans. We may have gotten involved in 1941, but we didnt do anything untill 1942.
I guess I will have to tell all those who died in 1941 that they did not have to because we were not at war yet. Regardless, have it you way. Out of that whole paragraph of misquotes and errors, you have to twist history to argue one point in your favor. I concede. If that is what you want to believe, you got it.
