Thread: Was the war in middle east the right choice?

Like all the other US wars since at least 1849, 'War is a Racket."

America has wasted its vast resources on war to enrich the elite war profiteers.

America could have interest free loans to build houses and start businesses, 1500 buck a month dividend checks, low priced fuel, 1st class medical care, no debt and a world that wants to be American.

But, we refused to rule the world in peace and Righteousness, and instead we wasted ourselves to support anti-Christ Talmudists and war profiteers.

That makes no sense. It's their fear that drives them TO make nukes, because how many nuclear countries have we attacked?

That isnt logical, we used the weapons of mass destruction excuse on sadam, nuclear programs are provacative not defensive.

Sure and since 1969 we've spent more trying to realize that pipe dream than we have on all the wars we've fought in our entire history.

Regardless of our defense, the rest of the world was smarter than our own population. They didn't fall for it, especially in the Middle East region.

Syria...let's not go there next, for if we do it will be the death knell for the USA.

Here is an analogy that practically every one knew about but discovered by CNN as of late.

You DO realize that Kuwait was part of Iraq until Britain severed Kuwait from Iraq in the 1920's, right? Also, we pretty much gave Saddam the green light for going into Kuwait.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~

On September 18, 1990, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry published verbatim the transcripts of meetings between Saddam Hussein and high level U.S. officials. Knight-Ridder columnist James McCartney acknowledged that the transcripts were not disputed by the U.S. State Department. U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie informed Hussein that, "We have no opinion on...conflicts like your border disagreement with Kuwait." She reiterated this position several times, and added, "Secretary of State James Baker has directed our official spokesman to emphasize this instruction." A week before Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Baker's spokesperson, Margaret Tutwiler and Assistant Secretary of State John Kelly both stated publicly that "the United States was not obligated to come to Kuwait's aid if it were attacked." (Santa Barbara News-Press September 24, 1990 cited in [1]).

Two days before the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Assistant Secretary of State John Kelly testified before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee that the United States has no defense treaty relationship with any Gulf country." The New York Daily News editorialized on September 29, 1990, "Small wonder Saddam concluded he could overrun Kuwait. Bush and Co. gave him no reason to believe otherwise." (quoted in [1]).

Kim Jong il withdrew his signature from the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty only after Bush named North Korea alongside Iraq and Syria as targets for regime change...
Until then peace negotiations btwn North and South were progressing well...

It was highly profitable., that's all it was about really.

You do realize that Iraq wasn't a country until after WWI.
