"I thanked God my daughter was not harmed." Thanking that which created the whole mess in the first place? How quaint.
SamCDKey: Isn't that horrible what these sub-human cretins do? Targetting students who have nothing to do with any fighting, just because they have easy to figure out schedules?
Who? The Mahdi Army, a militant branch of the government currently supported by the US? Or the Sunni insurgents, funded by Saudi Arabia?
Both. The Iraqi peoples, exempting the Kurds, seem to be savages. They do not seem too much better than their Sumerian forbears in cruelty and inhumanity.
I'm guessing you know a lot of Iraqis intimately.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And the savages are the one who destroyed a country for financial benefit (even if it didn't go according to plan)
SamCDKey: Considering we've spent nearly a trillion dollars liberating another country from a brutal despot, I fail to see how we have sought "financial gain". And actually, I have never met an Iraqi, nor would I want to. Hundreds of thousands of civilians murdered in the insurgency is not something I want to be associated with.
SamCDKey: Aka: You're wrong. Financial gain was not sought. Yes, because we do not have the balls to beat these dogs into submission.
A lie and a mistake are two different things. The Maine being blown up from a fault in munitions does not mean "America based a war on a lie", unless this could be known. Vietnam was justified regardless of its foundations. Communism must be stopped at any cost, no matter how high. Better dead than Red. The Germans killed Americans in the Lusitania, regardless of what it was carrying.
Seems like they should rename "American Intelligence". No? Call it Brittany Spears instead with the theme song "Oops! I did it again"
We ascertained it and found it valid. Only later did we find out we were wrong. Such is the way of intelligence. We got rid of Saddam Hussein. Surely that is worth something, yes? Or are we to assume you are pro-Hussein?
