How does his pathetic 'explanation' account for completely destroying Iraq? The US wanted revenge (and oil control--same old) after 11/9 and Iraq was the weakest target, even though it had nothing to do with that attack. People are so gullible and war-happy that Bush only had to vaguely 'suggest' Iraq was somehow to blame, and the public bought the lie. It's not exactly difficult to understand. The inspectors said there were no WMDs, but Iraq was attacked anyway. This opened the floodgates for radical islam and voila! You can see the result; the ME completely destabilised, and possible WW111 on the horizon. People have such short memories. It was one of the worst crimes in recent history to add to the many other crimes against humanity carried out by the US. The little creep Tony Blair seems to have a conscience and is slightly bothered by the fact that he conspired with Bush to destroy a country and murder millions of people, offering a wet 'apology'. Not so Bush though. I think he's too stupid to have a conscience.Sir-Sister-of-Suck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 1:13 amI know the gist and timeline of how it happened, but looking back on it years later and trying to delve into the nuance is difficult. Bush was interviewed in 2014 so that's where I was getting this idea from. He basically explained how he thought they only had the 'capacity' to have them. He could be lying here.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 12:43 amNothing like that. You'd have to look it up. Everyone knew it was a lie and an excuse to destroy another country.

Can't really say too much about how that and if it's relatable because I wasn't really into politics back when the iraq war started. Although wasn't the concern from the US that they 'could' have Nuclear Weapons based on their resources and not that they necessarily 'did'?
I'm sure this is a heated debate, but I'm having a hard time finding where the US thought Iraq explicitly had them, and weren't just seeking to make them.
I'm not saying I support the Iraq war, because I don't based on what I know about it. I was just pointing something out. I think the US should stay out of doing regime change in pretty much every conceivable situation. I'd prefer if we pulled out of the middle east entirely.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 3:07 am How does his pathetic 'explanation' account for completely destroying Iraq? [snip]
It was hardly a war. Unprovoked attack on a much weaker country.Sir-Sister-of-Suck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 15, 2017 3:24 amI'm not saying I support the Iraq war, because I don't based on what I know about it.

Oh good. I think the thread name is obvious, but we be can be inspired to openly SOC delve, as the balance to labor.Sir-Sister-of-Suck wrote: ↑Mon Aug 28, 2017 6:30 pmIt will be interesting to hear the Walker logic for how this is related to the OP topic
I don't know why yanks are whining about immigrants. The US has really strict immigration rules.

Far from it.
They are proud to be citizens.
It's the pride that legally brought them here.
