    In itself this is marvellous, a democratic parliament exercising its' powers, imagine that before the liberation?

    There are laws concerning war and you are not supposed to stay in other people's countries. If you had not attacked Iraq in the first place it would not now seemingly be an alley of Iran. If you wanted you could have at almost any time had Iran as a friend. I know a lot of Christian Zionists want Iran destroyed as that is what Israel wants so that she will be the dominant power in the ME and the US always wanting to harm Iran may be just for that..or it may be that the Saud's are better yes men. Do you never consider acting lawfully and peacefully towards other countries. What do you think is the US motivation in it's destruction of the Middle East States?

    Obama gave away the democratic constitutional republic in Iraq. He was either stupid or corrupt.

    Your question is improper in that it includes a conclusion.

    Iraq is not American. America has always liked to present itself as a non colonising country. The US had already spread itself too thin.

    The question is not improper. It just demands thought and honesty. :)

    Total BS. Bush invaded and imposed a puppet regime. That is not democracy.

    Neither South Korea, Japan, or Europe is American.

    It's a question of the form "have you stopped over feeding your cat yet".

    No point in continuing, You did not want to address what was being questioned - your right to believe the US has the right to control Iraq - that basically Iraq is now the property of the US and the US right to destroy the ME. Now you are just being silly.

    The US has not colonized or controlled Europe, Japan, South Korea, or any other country in which we have a military presence.

    The US has never tried to control Iraq. The US has never tried to destroy the ME. The US has never claimed that Iraq is the property of the US.

    The US has provided a security force which allowed the most successful economies in the world with the highest standards of living to develop in Europe, Japan, and South Korea. The same could have happened in Iraq but Obama gave it away.

    I'm sure that all those victims of traitor Bush's rape rooms in Abu Ghraib and the parents of all those children who were butchered by Bush's bombs don't think it's hilarious.

    More of the same. Bush freed Iraq and Obama gave it away.

    Of course they progressively invaded Kuwait which kicked off the hostilities. It was a dangerous place to live before that.

    *laughs in sadness*

    Oh yes, so long as you were Sunni, and not Shia or Kurd. Or never spoke up against the leader or was not a member of a sports team that lost.

    How anybody could even start to make that claim, when faced with the "Killing Fields" of mass graves all over, I have no idea. I guess that is your definition of a "progressive society", eh? How many of your opponents you can put in the ground. The more you kill, the more progressive you are.

    Look, I am done with this crap. Somebody who purposefully and intentionally ignores mass murder and genocide to me is not a human being.

    What would the US do if Mexico started siphoning off oil from Texas?

    The first photo is from Fallujah which was the result of massive bombing by the US on Daesh.

    The other two photos are from the Anfal genocide using US supplied chemical weapons

    With what kind of miracle technology? The oil fields are hundreds of miles from the border.

    And at that time, the technology only allowed slant drilling around 1-2 miles from the drill head. Even today, the farthest slant drilling has gone from the site of the drilling equipment is less than 7 miles. So where were all those oil wells right on the border stealing Iraqi oil?

    https://web.archive.org/web/2012021...=219715&version=1&template_id=48&parent_id=28

    The fact is that most of the pools of oil cover hundreds of square miles, and can be tapped directly dozens of miles from the border. Iraq owed Kuwait a large debt, and was trying to get out of paying it. Basically what they did was instead of paying their debt, they did a hostile takeover of the bank. Own the bank, no more debt.

    See, this is why you constantly fail in such claims. Little truth in them, just nonsensical claims that can not be verified and are often easily disproven.

    But please, give us a reference to this miracle technology that was available almost 30 years ago that exceeds what anybody can do today.

    Bomb Mexican cities along the border and then send in the army to destroy the buildings containing the slant drilling machinary and build US bases in that area. Now your turn to answer the question

    Well, dur, the Texas question was a rhetorical question. Kuwait were slant drilling under the Iraq/Kuwait border. And Iraq argued that Kuwait should contribute to the cost of the Iraq/Iran war by forfeiting the loans because Kuwait would be threatened by Iran if Iraq lost the war and also Kuwait refused to adhere to the OPEC agreed quotas which meant that Iraq could not raise enough money to pay back any loan. Kuwait refused to pay anything. And Rumaila oil field is on the Iraqi side of the Iraq/Kuwait border - not hundreds of miles away .
