If you do really believe that war crimes are a "necessary evil" then you are really despicable. I suppose you also believe that torture is justified if we're the ones doing it. If your motto is "Thinking like an Independent, while leaning to the right", then I'd say you've leaned so far right you've fallen over and got your head stuck in your FauxNews hole.


[quote="Troper8";p="59048"]"EVERY intelligence agency in the WORLD believed, at the time, that Saddam possessed WMD. Is it not possible that he moved them before the war?"

In spite of the FauxNews propaganda you've been fed, the UN inspectors didn't think Iraq still had any weapons and a lot of our (former) European allies weren't so sure about it either and wanted to let the UN inspectors finish their work. Bush stopped the inspections and suckered the USA with phony evidence and lies into a war of unprovoked aggression. Iraq had not attacked us and had nothing to do with 9/11. It has been one year and 141 days and still no WMDs have been found. Why do you think we had to fight the war without any real allies except Briton? Because the other nations didn't believe Bush's BS. The evidence collected so far in Iraq indicates that there were NO active weapons programs to create WMDs. The inspections and sanctions had worked. Before the war, Iraq was under intense surveillance by planes and satellites and there were spies on the ground so, no, they didn't move any (non-existent) weapons.

"The removal of Saddam was planned and agreed upon by both side of the aisle."

Your reply is a non sequitur. It has been publicly documented that a number of key people in the Bush administration were urging and planning for an invasion of Iraq years before Bush fraudulently attained the Presidency. Congress was duped with fake intelligence about a non-existant immanent threat and still many opposed the rush to war without international consensus and support.

"Released, conveniently, the same time as his book. Not a P.R. stunt I'm sure."

You really think someone would bring Indictments for War Crimes before an International Tribunal as a PR stunt for a book release? I guess if you have no integrity, it must be hard to believe that anyone else does.

Check your own figure -- "more leftist propaganda."

Are you incapable of reading the newspapers.? These figures are reported daily. 963 dead American servicemen was the current figure several days ago. It is higher now. You really ought to pull your head out of your FauxNews hole.

"Illegal weapons?.....those are called "smart bombs" so we don't have to "carpet bomb". But I guess it's ok for Saddam to use WMD on the Kurds in the late 1980's."

Have you tried looking up depleted uranium on the net? Do you know how many cases of cancer, childhood leukemia, birth defects and still births are being linked to it in the places where it has been used before? Of course it's NOT ok for Saddam to use poison gas on the Kurds or the Iranians. The thing is, the US government sold him the chemicals to make the gas. Donald Rumsfield went over there to shake his hand after he used the gas.

The rest of your postings are too ill informed, stupid and incoherent to even bother replying to. You really ought to get out more and find out what's actually happening rather than just swallowing every pre-digested opinion that FauxNews hands you.
