The 1st BIG Lie: Saddam had "yellowcake."&then a series of other lies. But did you know about the 2nd BIG Lie?

Question

. Tens of thousands of Iraqi military men were killed when the US dropped bombs on them as they attempted to escape Kuwait near the end of the Persian Gulf War under Bush, Sr. .They were ridiing in military vehicles/trucks/tanks,etc. which lined the desert leading away from Kuwait. Thousands of them.
Fast forward then, to Operation Iraqi Freedom under Bush., Jr.
Many lies being told.
The 'embeds' rode with US troops across that 527 mile desert leading from Kuwait to Baghdad.
Along the way there were firefights, Mostly small ones.

The "war" was on. The US also 'bombed" countless "enemy" war machines. Or so we were told.
But.
Thousands of Iraqi tanks/trucks/etc. were left where they were bombed along that desert. Even after all of these years. (What's left of them, that is.)
So when the U.S, reported that they had 'taken out' thousands of fighters...?
No. They RE-bombed those same vehicles that they had bombed during the Persian Gulf War.
And there was nobody inside them

yes;I do know much about the Middle East but I cannot have conversations with you about your concerns. It is best that you continue your own research. My knowledge is from personal sources and what I have seen and been through.

Answer 1

The first gulf war was one big lie. The Iraqi's never invaded or attacked the Kuwait's. It was a stagged terror campaign.

The entire Bush Administration and family are following a hidden agenda. These people are nothing but lies, lies, lies.

Answer 2

Many will say he lied but they were actually the same statements that prominent democrats all the way up to the Clinton's were saying. The Clinton's said these same statements over and over. I guess it's OK for the Clinton's to speak what the CIA hand feeds them but when Bush does it he is a liar. These people bring hypocrisy to it's apex.
He has stuck to his word. Any country that supports, aides, or harbors a terrorist organization is an enemy of the United States.
By invading Afghanistan on Iran's eastern border and invading Iraq on Iran's western border he has effectively placed Iran on the ropes by forcing them to dump all their monetary energy into obtaining nukes. As a result they are on the verge of tapping into their social monies used to care for their mostly unemployed young adults in Iran. When they do this an uprising will occur and it will be supported by western operatives. Coupled with strong sanctions this will literally obliterate the foundation that the extremist regime stands on.

In effect GWB has taken out three terrorist sponsoring governments while sustaining the least amount of American casualties. History will show him as a visionary.

Answer 3

I thought the second big lie was Sanjaya of American Idol is a good singer.

Answer 4

And one truth is that we believed these liars Sr. and Jr. Bush and elected them repeatedly.

Answer 5

since you know so much about the history in the middle east, tell me if any of this is untrue:




1948 Iraq unsuccessfully wars with Israel (who declared their statehood)

1958 a military coup overthrows King Faisilll, and Iraq is declared a republic. The new Premier, General
Abdul Karim Kassem, suppressed communistic uprisings.

1961 the Kurds revolt, and demand autonomy. They beleive they were owed a greater government
represented role.

1963 a Coup occurs in Iraq, killing General Abdul Karim Kassem. The coup is led by by Colonel Abd al-satarn Aref, along with the Ba'ath party. It is important to note that the Ba'ath Party was founded in Syria. The Ba'ath party advocates Pan-Arablsm (under their rule), securlism, and socialism (2 out of three would be a liberals wet dream). This same year Aref rids the government of the Ba'ath party.

1968 the Ba'ath Party rules again, after a bloodless coup of Aref (brother of original).

1970 Iraqi government signs a peace agreement with the Kurds, giving them more self-governance. Many details continued to be disputed.

1979 Vice President Saddam Hussein becomes president after President's resignation. Saddam
Immediately executes his political rivals.

1980 Iraq, under Saddam Hussein rule, invades Western Iran, claiming artillery attacks from Iran, along with a dispute over the waterways in the Persian Gulf. Although Iraq was initially successful, they were soon forced to withdraw from occupied Iran by early

1982. Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini vows to continue fighting until
Saddam's regime is toppled. Saddam resorts to the use of Chemical weapons, as a defensive. Iran is successful in capturing Iraqi territories over the next few years.

1987 Iran attacks Kuwaiti oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, sparking involvement from the United States, and several European nations.

1988 Iran is forced to accept the United Nations mandated cease-fire. Saddam uses this opportunity to use poison gas on Kurdish villages for their support of Iran during the war. Saddam rounds up Kurdish males and executes them, amounting to more than 200 thousand Kurdish deaths in 1988 alone. More than 300 thousand is the eventual death toll.

1990 Saddam invades Kuwait, claiming they are responsible for the ailing economy of Iraq and low oil prices. The U.N. imposes the first sanctions on Iraq.

1991 Persian Gulf war, between Iraq and a coalition of 32 nations begins. The U.S. led forces free Kuwait in approximately 4 days. The Kurd's and Shiite's attempt to overthrow Saddam, but they are not supported by the coalition, and are suppressed by Saddam. Iraq agrees to Coalition peace terms, including allowing
weapons inspectors full access to Iraqi facilities.

1993 U.S., Great Britain, and France, launch air strikes against Iraq, for breaking the agreement, and other provocations

1994 President Clinton authorizes bombing of Iraq, due mainly to Saddam's continued resistance of weapons inspectors.

1997 The United Nations Disarmament Commission reports it's conclusion that Iraq has continued to conceal information on biological chemical weapons, and missiles.

1998
(Jan) Saddam completely cuts off cooperation with U.N. weapons inspectors.
(Feb) The U.N. negotiates a peacefull solution. Saddam continues to impeded U.N. Inspectors
(Oct) Saddam once again completely cuts off cooperation with U.N. weapons inspectors.
(Nov) Iraq agrees to cooperate completely with U.N. weapons inspectors.

(Dec) United nations chief weapons inspector says that Saddam is not following through with his promise. United States and Great Britain launch air strikes on Iraq.

1999 Air strikes continue (for years under the Clinton Administration) in Iraq, mostly in the no fly zones.

2002 The United Nations updates the 11 year old sanctions against Iraq. The new sanctions are more restrictive of military and duel use equipment. United Weapons inspectors are allowed for the first time in 4 years into Iraq. Soon afterwards former weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, who received $400,000 for his 2000 documentary from an Iraqi businessman, is vocal about his opinion that no weapons violations occurred in Iraq.

2003
(Jan) Weapons inspectors discover and report a violation of 11 undeclared, empty chemical warheads in Iraq. The U.N. reports that Iraq has still not accepted the disarmament demanded upon them.
