buck Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 George Bush just wanted to finish his dad's job off and got us to do it with him. Now Iraq is alot worse off now then when under Saddam. The charge of gassing the Kurds was just used as a excuse to charge him with something as Saddam has visited America since then and they were acting like best buddys before Bush came to office. As soon as the Bush administration came in to office, he straight away planned to invade Iraq and anyway WMD...wait a minute America have them and have used them so it's abit hypocritical If he's visited the US recently, I doubt if he was wearing a halo and angel's wings.

If there had been an uprsing against his regime as happened in Egypt, Libya and Syria Saddam would have made Ghadaffi and Assad look like mother Teresa by comparison Aside from all the griping about Iraq just remember that it was the US that got him out of Kuwait in 1991. Be grateful for that fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be grateful for that fact That arab uprising your on about is run and funded by terrorists, just like the syrian rebels now, who america and British government support..so if they had invaded Iraq then they would have got what they deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 So what point is the OP trying to make? And what point are you tying to make? That no one should criticise the Labour Party even when one of its most senior MPs of the last few decades admits to a calamitous decision by a Labour government? I do find it completely hypocritical that you lambast conservatism in your signatue and then support a policy by the most conservative US president for years, a policy that was supported by all but a handful of Conservative MPs.

callippo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If Saddam had lived and continued to rule Iraq what would have happened in Iraq when the so called Arab Spring started to spread across the middle east? what makes you think the so-called Arab Spring would have happened anyway. The whole idea of the invasion had the main the idealogues behind it was that the Marxist-domino type theory they all went to infant school on was still in evidence. The idea was once the tyrant Saddam fell by force of arms and democracy established, then everybody else in the Middle East would get off on that, and establish their own. And there is a case to say, that this is exactly what happened. it just doesn't always turn out like you thought it would though, does it? ---------- Post added 03-03-2013 at 22:20 ---------- Saddam has visited America since thenl total ignoramus. Saddam never visited America. Saddam's foreign travels were very few and he almost never left Iraq. The only western country he was interested in was Russia, because he liked Joseph Stalin. He thought he was just like him. They both had moustaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
