If we only bombed Iraq to liberate & give them democracy?

Question

Why are we building the worlds largest & most expensive embassy there? Shouldn't the American people have been
aware before now that we've spent $592 MILLION on Bush's
embassy in Iraq? I thought we were just there to liberate the Iraqi's and then eventually leave?

Answer 1

Sorry, but you've been misinformed. From the very first day George W. Bush entered the Oval Office, he intended to unconstitutionally and illegally invade Iraq - a sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States. When the Bildenberg Conference selected Bush and Cheney as the next leaders of the Executive Branch, they had three objectives in mind:
1) To satisfy a personal vendetta between Saddam Hussein and the Bush family that dates back to the days of Desert Storm when George H.W. Bush was humiliated, criticized and ridiculed for not 'finishing the job' and ousting Hussein at that time;
2) Dick Cheney and his buddies at Exxon-Mobil want all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so they can get richer and richer and richer feeding America's addiction to cheap, easily-accessible foreign OIL;
3) Ever since World War II, the giant U.S. military-industrial complex recognized how profitable 'war' could be. So it bought up all the politicians, hired pricey lobbyists, and formed special interest groups to promote and encourage more 'war'. Thus, the U.S. was engaged in the Korean Conflict; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War; Vietnam and Desert Storm. And companies like McDonnell-Douglass, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Sikorsky, General Motors, and others prospered at the expense of the poor American taxpayers. A new 'war' was necessary to boost the sagging profits of those corporations, and so that newcomers Halliburton and the Carlyle Group could get in on the 'war industry' rape and pillage, making BILLIONS in profits while American taxpayers became mired in TRILLIONS of dollars in debt to the Chinese government.
Now, we're building the largest embassy in the world that overlooks the 'new' puppet Iraqi government installed by the Bush administration so that we can maintain our presence in Iraq until every drop of OIL has been sucked out of its sands.
We were never there to bring democracy to Iraq, or to bring peace to the Middle East. We are there for OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. Period. -RKO- 05/19/07

Answer 2

You haven't read the Joint Resolution that led up to this war, have you? Getting rid of Saddam and giving democracy to the Iraqi people is in the best interest of the US and globally. The US doesn't do anything that isn't in the best interest of security for the American people. That's what a government is supposed to do. To think anything less is just immature.

Just like supporting Israel, we don't do it because it's 'love'. We do it because in 60 short years, they have become a strong viable country. That's why you want to happen when you give aid money to countries. You don't want it to be a bottomless pit like when you give it to Lebanon or parts of Africa. Israel is a success story and to allow backward cultures in the world to wipe it off the map does not help this world.

Answer 3

First, no one can give any people what they do not passionately want and are ready for. If you think we were in there to give them democracy, ask why not North Korea?

We are in there to close the Gap in the Middle East and for the oil China wanted to buy from Iraq. And destroying a country's intrastructure allows us to, among other things, give fat reconstruction contracts to our friends' big businesses.

Answer 4

Saddam had the lid firmly nailed down on the loose instruments like the Kurds he knew that the only thank you to maintain the nutters in line replaced into to feed a number of them to the lions each and every now and back. because of the fact that Bush has taken out Saddam the lid has been knocked off the crazyass bottle. no longer in basic terms that yet now the U. S. is telling the Iraqis who's gonna administration their oil components any further, any fool who thinks the U. S. and united kingdom went in there to loose Iraqis is residing in cloud cuckoo land.

Answer 5

When we leave militarily we will not leave politically. Iraq will be our "base of operations" for many years to come. Look at the overall strategic elements. From our new "embassy" we can run how many spies/covert operations and intel gathering missions from right next door instead of across an ocean. And we are the U.S gotta show off

Answer 6

If you really thought that at any stage you were very naive.

I do so hope though to see the day when the last US helicopter is landing on its roof...

Answer 7

thanks for the numbers. we're in iraq to search for weapons of mass destruction, try to stop the iraqi's from genocide, and over through the iraqi government and create democracy. but i'm sure you already knew that. we mean good, but if we aren't carefull we will exhaust our efforts before a much bigger outbreak of war happens
