Do you think Bush and the Media exaggerated about Saddam so he start a War?

Question

All you Pro-War and Bush supporter, I've heard it hundreds of times how Saddam killed and tortured his people. Don't you think the media had to exaggerate and make Saddam look like the evil person so that public will support war? I mean have you met Saddam in person. You have to by the evidence and not by what our twisted media/Bush said about a man whom we never met and we judge him cuz Bush saids he's evil! The evidence shows IRAQ was better run by Saddam and not by BUSH! Wake up Bush supporters! Yes there was some killing of Kurds and such but Saddam did declare war against them cuz they were causing stabillity in IRAQ. One evidence that Bush/Media exaggerated is the Weapons of Mass Destructions! So what else are we as Americans brain-washed to think Saddam is the most evil man?! How can you believe the words of Bush over Saddam in this case? I believe Saddam when he told Dan Rather that IRAQ is the not enemy of the U.S. just few weeks before Bush went in and invade IRAQ.

Also, Saddam does sound cruel by how he had to torture or kill his own inlaws but that's their ideology. That Middle Easter mentality, they're fanatics over there. Hello!!? One example, suicide bombers! You must have someone like Saddam's system to maintain that country and the evidence showed when he was in charge! Why are you stupid pro-bush are in such denials and brain-washed to think that whatever U.S. goverment does must be right!

Answer 1

Why are Americans so stupid to believe what Bush tell this people. Saddam did kill people there is no question about that. But that not excuse to invade Iraq. The UN and the Americans never found these so called weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. How about Robert Mugabe, President of Zimbabwe? is Bush doing anything about him? no! no oil there. Make you wonder why the French didn't support the US they knew what was going on there. Plus there is no evidences of the 9/11 bombing having anything to do with Iraq. Remember U.S. support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. Who was in power at that time yes Saddam. During the Iraq-Iran War, the United States sided with Iraq and gave military equipment and weapons to aid Saddam against the Iranians

Answer 2

Bush started his war in Iraq after telling the world that he had evidence that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 and that that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Today, only in the USA there are still people that seriously believe this. The rest of the world knows that nothing of this is true and is still waiting for evidence, even after years of US occupation of Iraq.

Of course Saddam was a dangerous dictator and a threat for the people in his country as well as some neighbor countries, but this is not why the war has started. If it would have been, then the USA should as well have attacked several African nations where the situation is absolutely not better than it was in Iraq. Also there is no evidence that Saddam has done anything that threatened US security.

Thousands of GIs, thousands of Iraqi soldiers and tens of thousands of innocent civilians have been killed, many, many more than 9/11, and what is the result? Saddam and some of his friends are behind bars or dead, but the situation in Iraq is worse than ever!!! Where is this democracy that Bush promised?

Stop mixing things! What happened on 9/11 and during other terrorist attacks in the world is unforgivable and the people responsible for this should be severely punished. But this doesn’t justify attacking any country you like and putting people in prison without proper judgement just because some president says they’re terrorists.

America, wake up and don't let your leaders define your personal opinion!!!

Answer 3

Saddam was torturing his own people but thats besides the point.

I dont hate all Liberals/Democrats, just the ignorant ones like you. Going into Iraq wasnt Bushs idea to begin w/. Saddam had ignored 27 UN orders, and would not let weapon inspectors into his country after he obtained petrolium from other countries. In 2002 it was said by a joint inspecting group of both British and French that Saddam would be cappable of making a Nuclear Bomb in the next 6 months.

So after Saddam called the UN's bluff, and noone would do anything. So the US, Britain, and other countries rose to the call to stop this madman. Most of which have deserted the cause; but the strong remain. God Bless the American/British troops in the Middle East. And long live a Democratic Iraqi Government!

Answer 4

Are you through ranting yet? Tell me your impression of Saddam after you met him. Or Bush, either, for that matter. Don't even think of trying to hold me to your hypocritical standards!

FYI. The media you attack DID warn us of the lies about WMD & the al Qaida/Saddam link. Yes, they took the easy way out & buried it on the inside pages. I won't deny they are under the influence of their corporate owners. Still, considering Saddam got well roasted by the Arab & Muslim press over the same facts our media reported, I somehow think many of those accusations are true.

Now I would appreciate it if you quit shooting from your lip & giving the rest of us on your general side of this issue a bad name. Thank you.

2nd reply, to Q response. I tried to warn you about shooting from the lip. There you go again. This is NOT Middle East or Muslim mentality. This is the mentality of a Totalitarian Dictator. I think a shrink might help to tighten the screws that are loose in your head.

Answer 5

"I have sometimes defended President Bush in opposition to the left on Iraq, although I believe he will have to have waited till the U.N. inspections had been over," Clinton mentioned in a Time journal interview so that it will hit newsstands Monday, an afternoon earlier than the e-newsletter of his e-book "My Life." Clinton, who used to be interviewed Thursday, mentioned he didn't suppose that Bush went to conflict in Iraq over oil or for imperialist explanations however out of a actual perception that gigantic amounts of guns of mass destruction remained unaccounted for. Noting that Bush needed to be "reeling" within the wake of the assaults of September eleven, 2001, Clinton mentioned Bush's first precedence used to be to maintain al Qaeda and different terrorist networks from acquiring "chemical and organic guns or small quantities of fissile fabric." "That's why I supported the Iraq factor. There used to be plenty of stuff unaccounted for," Clinton mentioned in connection with Iraq and the truth that U.N. guns inspectors left the nation in 1998. I wager the four days of bombing Iraq in 1998 'contained' Saddam. I. CLINTON SIGNS IRAQ LIBERATION ACT October 31, 1998 The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release October 31, 1998 Statement by means of thePpresident Today I am signing into regulation H.R. 4655, the "Iraq Liberation Act of 1998." This Act makes transparent that it's the feel of the Congress that the United States will have to help the ones factors of the Iraqi competition that recommend an overly unique long run for Iraq than the sour fact of inner repression and outside aggression that the present regime in Baghdad now presents. Let me be transparent on what the U.S. targets are: The United States desires Iraq to rejoin the loved ones of countries as a freedom-loving and regulation-abiding member. This is in our curiosity and that of our allies inside the area. The United States favors an Iraq that presents its persons freedom at house. I categorically reject arguments that that is impossible as a result of Iraq's historical past or its ethnic or sectarian makeup. Iraqis deserve and want freedom like each person else.

Answer 6

Sadamm killed and torutred thousands of people, some just for saying they did not like him. Thats a fact he was just found guilty of it in a court of law. Now if you call an oppresive regime better than a free democracy then you are extremely ignorant. By the tone of your question you do sound extremely ignorant anyway though.

Answer 7

No and you know better.You sound like you have been setting behind the barn with a group of Democrates chewing on wet corncobs and smoking pot .

Answer 9

Answer 10
