Why does everyone ignore the facts on the Iraqi war?

Question

1991, UN Mandate that Iraq terminate its weapons of mass destruction projects, and all missles that can carry these weapons. and to let UN inspectors in to make sure they are doing this.

1998, UN inspectors said, "yeah, they´re destroying some stuff, but we don´t have access to everything" then sadaam kicks all inspectors out...... (hmmmm, is that not suspicios?)

2001: Sadaam, laughs and makes fun of the US after 9-11
2002: Bush says, "you let the UN inspectors in, or we´re gonna come get you." Sadaam says, "no UN inspectors will ever enter my country, you want me, come and get me."

2003: we invade... find lots of "illegal" missles and weapons, but the WMD´s are missing....
2004 and on: every terrorist in the middle east goes to iraq to fight us and cause destruction....


where are the facts for: War-Mongering, and blood for oil, etc...

gee Shaz,

thanks for the useless answer

Answer 1

the problem is the "Bush Denial Syndrome"- any decision that Bush would have made would have been criticised. Therefore any claim (war mongering, etc) is perceived as "done in a good cause". Same as regards all the claims of torture, mass murder, etc reported on the front pages - but which are later proven wrong (but never _reported_ as proven wrong)
I was always surprised that Bush waited for over 1 year for the UN approach to work before invading. Hardly "rushing".

As for "blood for oil" I wonder how come China never gets criticised- it sells guns to Somalia in exchange for their oil (yes, Somalia has oil too)

Answer 2

there is not any denying that Saddam became evil. even with the undeniable fact that he posed no probability to the west, he became effectively emasculated after Gulf conflict I. And removing through fact he became evil became no longer the thought for the consequent conflict that accompanied. the rationalization in the back of the conflict lies in a checklist written by way of Paul Wolfowitz (google him) he wrote approximately securing US hegemony in the twenty first Century. His thought became to topple a center jap dictatorship and something might fall like dominoes thereby securing the area under US impression (somewhat like the belief of the domino concept approximately communism in the process the Vietnam conflict era). Wolfwowitz and a number of of alternative different "hawks" in the whitehouse tried to get Clinton to purchase into it yet he declined. After the Afghan invasion the time became ripe to objective returned and under the guise of WMDs and so on the coalition went to conflict! So he had no longer something to do with 911, Saddam became an earthly dictator and not an islamic fundamentalist like Al Quaeda and the Taliban, politically they're poles aside. So the conflict is deemed to be unlawful as we went in there under thoroughly fake pretences.

Answer 3

Bush and the CIA had already admitted publicly that the intelligence information they have about Iraq WMD's were not credible. Came right from the horse's mouth. What more facts do you want?.

Answer 4

James, not to mention you have chosen to ignore facts that contradict your arguments but I think most people are simply upset regarding how many mistakes have been made in managing this war and all the lies that were told throughout the war. When you add the lies and deceptions that were told before the war it makes it all the worse.

Answer 5

Fine and good but I notice you are leaving out all the other facts to skew this in the sdirection you would like to go.

I won't waste time listing them because you would ignore them.

If you wanna talk facts...talk about the facts on both sides or just admit that the facts are useless and ignored.

Answer 6

They should gone after Iran since they already have a proved record in supporting terrorism and Saddam Hussein was never a religious man.

Answer 7

i've been asking that for years. what about hillary and harry ried and all of the other dem's who, back in oct and nov-when they needed votes to keep their seats-ALL said pulling out was a bad idea. they all sing a different tune today. (now that their seat is secure!!!)

Answer 8

The other fact that was left out is. The U.S has deminshing oil supplies. Bush being a Texan said " I know Iraq has loads of oil. I want it so I'm going to take it" He then had a chat with his loverboy (Blair) who said Thats a good idea I'm right behind you. (no pun intended)

Answer 9

Probably

Answer 10

You are not really concerned, especially when you place your energies here. This question seemingly is irrelevant in its nature, as you really know what the answer is already. Is there a twist to this?
