Answer 1

From 1991 to the present day the United States Air Force and Navy have slaughtered over 200,000 civilian people in Iraq with Depleted Uranium missiles, cluster bombs, cruise missiles and other so-called “smart bombs.”
During the “Desert Storm” terror campaign the arsenal also included fuel-air bombs and napalm. 177 million pounds of bombs were dropped on the people of Iraq in the most concentrated aerial bombardment in the history of the world. In the 110,000 sorties of the six-week onslaught the cowardly American and British pilots (and to a lesser extent French and Saudi pilots) mass-murdered at least 200,000 people, using depleted uranium missiles, napalm, cluster-bombs, fuel-air bombs, cruise missiles and other so-called “smart bombs.” The slaughter of civilian people in the Amariyah bomb shelter was a Prime example of this American/British state terrorism. Most of them were women, children, elderly, and invalids from a new housing development. Cowardly U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force jet pilots caught one sixty-mile-long column of fleeing Iraqi soldiers and Palestinian civilian families in vehicles on the Kuwait to Basra highway - and pounded them ruthlessly with bombs and machine-gun fire. The road, clogged by four lanes of one-way, bumper-to-bumper traffic, was carpet bombed by B-52s dropping 1,000-pound bombs, and repeatedly hit with laser-guided missiles and “smart” bombs. All the Iraqi soldiers, as well as Palestinian workers and their families, were slaughtered without mercy. The bloodthirsty American pilots gleefully described the massacre as “shooting in a sheep pen.”
During the Desert Storm terror campaign at least 944,000 rounds of Depleted Uranium ammo were fired from American A-10 Warthogs all over Iraq and Kuwait . When a depleted uranium tipped shell strikes a tank or armoured personnel carrier it easily penetrates the armour and burns the crew alive. The impact also vaporizes the depleted uranium, creating an aerosol of radioactive heavy-metal particles which can spread as far as 190 miles on the wind. When inhaled or ingested, the depleted uranium particles cause chemical and radioactive damage to the bronchial tree, kidneys, liver and bones. Cancer often results, and the effects can even include genetic damage.
The Dutch Laka Foundation estimates that the United States terror campaign left behind 300-800 tons of radioactive waste from this ammunition all over Kuwait and Iraq - poisoning the air, the land, the water and the people everywhere. Afterwards, wherever the depleted uranium firing had been concentrated, there were cancer epidemics among Iraqi civilians living nearby. In the ten years since then, sanctions, polluted water and depleted uranium together have killed somewhere between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 Iraqi civilian people. At least 600,000 of the dead are children. Cancer rates have quadrupled in areas of southern Iraq bombed by the American and British state terrorists. Since it began, thousands of Iraqi babies have been born with horrible birth defects. This is something that has never before been seen in Iraq .
Over the course of only 43 days and nights, approximately 62,000-80,000 air-delivered cluster bombs were dropped on the Iraqi people by the American-led state terrorists. In addition, 10,000 MLRS rockets and 100,000 “Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munition” artillery shells were fired. All this translates to about 24-30 million “sub munitions” or bomblets. Assuming a dud rate of 5%, it is estimated that the number of Dangerous land-mine cluster bomblets lying on or just under the surface of the ground in Iraq and Kuwait would be from 1.2 to 1.5 million. At least. In the desert, however, the percentage of these duds rose to 30%. So the number of unexploded ordnance still lying in wait for unsuspecting Iraqi children and civilian people could be as high as 7 to 9 million bomblets. A Human Rights Watch report says that of the estimated 24 to 30 million bomblets dropped during the Desert Storm terror campaign, the 1.2 to 1.5 million (at least) that did not immediately explode led to the bloody deaths of 1,220 Kuwaiti and 400 Iraqi people - mostly children - and over 2,500 maimed. And that was in just the first two years after the end of the “war.” So the American/British systematically targeted Iraq 's civilian infrastructure. Schools, hospitals, factories and every industry connected to food production, water purification and irrigation were targeted for destruction. U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots destroyed a baby formula plant, food warehouses, pharmaceutical plants, fertilizer plants, pesticide plants, storage facilities, refrigeration facilities, electrical generation and communication plants and every single grain silo in the country. All these were destroyed in order to intensify the impoverishing effect of the sanctions. In the process, U.S. and British pilots slaughtered at least 200,000 Iraqi men, women and children. And of course all these murdered human beings were dismissed by the Pentagon as “collateral damage.” In the 10 years since that carnage, the United Nations estimates that over one million Iraqi civilians – including 600,000 children below the age of five - have died as a result of American sanctions alone. One of the most important strategies of the 1991 terror-campaign against the civilian Iraqi people was the bombing of numerous water-purification plants. After that, the American sanctions prevented Iraqis from getting enough replacement parts to repair most of the plants.
So, just as the evil U.S. and British governments planned, the lack of clean drinking water in Iraq has caused a massive human catastrophe. It is contaminated water, more than anything else, that is killing Iraqi babies and small children, by the thousands, every month. Because they are the most vulnerable they are dying from diarrhea and dysentery primarily, and also diseases such as typhoid, hepatitis, cholera and polio - all caused by bacteria and viruses within the contaminated water. And just to make the whole diabolical scheme complete, the American sanctions also prevent the Iraqis from acquiring sufficient medicine to treat these deadly diseases. In an interview of Secretary of State Madeleine Albright on CBS's 60 Minutes, correspondent Lesley Stahl asked her if the death of these 600,000 Iraqi children was “worth it.” Albright's reply:
“...we think the price is worth it.” General Colin Powell when asked about the number of Iraqi people who were slaughtered by Americans in the 1991 “Desert Storm” terror campaign: “It's really not a number I'm terribly interested in.” “If they turn on the radars we're going to blow up their goddamn SAMs [surface-to-air missiles]. They know we own their country. We own their airspace... We dictate the way they live and talk.
And that's what's great about America right now. It's a good thing, especially when there's a lot of oil out there we need.” U.S. Brig. General William Looney Washington Post, August 30, 1999 - referring, in reality, to the brutal mass murder of hundreds of civilian Iraqi men, women and children during 10,000 sorties by American/British.

Answer 2

I think what we've spent on the war effort would have easily kept us supplied in oil or even allowed us to use our own resources to get oil. Do you realize we could be using ethanol right now which is a product of corn - which we can easily produce? The big lie is that we went there for oil.

" For war crimes, a specific gravity threshold is set down in Article 8(1), which states that “the Court shall have jurisdiction in respect of war crimes in particular when committed as part of a plan or policy or as part of a large-scale commission of such crimes”. This threshold is not an element of the crime, and the words “in particular” suggest that this is not a strict requirement. It does, however, provide Statute guidance that the Court is intended to focus on situations meeting these requirements. According to the available information, it did not appear that any of the criteria of Article 8(1) were satisfied

Answer 3

You dear thing, I can tell from not only your position but your tone that you are very young. I'll speak simply: first, we took out Saddam. Next we got Zarkawi; soon, we shall have Bin Laden. None of these men are oil company CEOs. They are terrorists; we are taking them down, one by one, with the help of other nations so that there will not be another 9-11 (On that date in 2001, terrorists destroyed the Twin Towers in New York City with civilian airplanes. Perhaps you are too young to remember it, but there are many websites that can teach you about it).

It is always right to stand up against bullies, brutes and terrorists, and it is always right to defend the helpless. I'm sure, if you think carefully, you will agree.

Answer 4

Since when did Bush and Blair start this war? Do you remember 9/11 or the terrorist attacks in the UK. Grow up! This is about freedom NOT oil

Answer 5

ABSOLUTELY NOT

And playtoofast if what you are suggesting is that you would take some kind of violent action against the president then you would be in very serious trouble. If the united nations should attempt to take any action attemptiong to subvert the powers of the president of the United States and the prime minister of Great Brittain then I'm afraid they would be biting off more than they could chew. War crimes my ***. You are the criminal. You should be shot for treason.

playtoofast..you sent me an email..i attempted to reply but it said your email address hadnt been verified...i could reply in the open if you wish

Answer 6

Nothing to do with terrorism. How many branches did you hit while falling from the stupid tree. I am pretty sure we have seen al quade (don't know the spelling) in the country fighting the U.S. right now. I would rather be fighting them on the other side of the world than in our own backyard. Just think of how many people would be pissed off if their were car bombs every day in the U.S. and blaming Bush because he wasn't protecting the Country. You are an idiot.

Answer 7

the issues that are going on in Iraq is an operation not a war, it's called Operation Iraqi Freedom.

You should support our Commander In Chief instead of putting him down. Besides alot of legislation is going on in Washington DC right now to get our country to use more E85 Fuels and to have us be able to be independent from middle eastern fuels.

Answer 8

The winners get to call the photos. the country element won, so no, no conflict crime trials for Bush and Blair. (FYI, for this reason Air Marshall "Bomber" Harris replace into no longer tried for conflict crimes for ordering the planned bombing of civilians in WW 2. what's the version between dropping bombs on civilians from planes and using a truck bomb right into a plaza full of civilians? by making use of the comparable good judgment, the country did a no no while it nuked Japan.)

Answer 9

I think Bush should explain to the American people why he didn't finish his National Guard service when we were at war in Vietnam, and Cheney should explain why he got 5 deferrments out of that war, even though he was classified as able to fight. These men are obviously cowards, and not at all worthy like the regular guys who are in our military right now. Cowards and hypocrites.

Answer 10

Could you explain your question? How much oil have we taken? What did we pay for it if anything? If this was all about the oil could you provide an ounce (or gallon) of evidence to that effect.

OTHERWISE GET A NEW JOB THE DNC PAYS YOU FAR TOO MUCH!

Answer 11

If the united nations wishes to prepare charges and issue a bounty on the heads of those they wish to convict of crimes. then i will do what any capitalist woud do an attempt to collect the bounty and bring criminals to justice .
