If I may ask, if the Bush administration is in Iraq for humanitarian reasons to which you suggest, then why are they not in say Africa? Or if they are there to get rid of a dictator who posses a threat to the U.S. or other countries why not Iran or North Korea?............
Bottom line, to suggest that Bush went into Iraq out of the goodness of his heart and not for selfish or misleading reasons, is well............ unfortunate.
And now back on the topic
Overall like I said, I dont think France and Iraq are a very good comparison, the main reason being that France declared war on Germany and Germany won. Iraq never declared war on the U.S., infact the U.S. never declared war on Iraq. I think the invasion of Belarus and Iraq might be a better comparison as Germany never declared war either it just invaded. |
Cheney got, and gets nothing, he had all of his stock sold or when sold, (selling date was decided by an trust) went to charity. Oh and Congress approves all contracts in Iraq, so that would mean that the House of Reps is in on the deal too?
If we could all know all of the reasons would be awsome. Then again why doesnt anyone besides the US try to take care of Iran, N Korea, Africa, or any other problem for that matter. Oh what the UN is impotent? And while you are thinking about that go and ask Russia and France about the nuclear reactors that they sold to Iraq in the 60s.
Oh and I disagree that France or Belarous and Iraq are good comparisons. But I think you knew that!
