Answer 1

my dear christine, I haven't got a clue what you are talking about.

Answer 2

Sorry cer

I feel deep sympathy for the fact that you lost a family member in this war. However, is any war justified.
During the second world war, many millions of family members were lost, many of the actions within that war were unjusified and needles and had no bearing on the outcome of the war.

It would probably help to ease the pain of loss to be able to say that this death or that death was caused by a cover up which caused the war in the first place.
Yet soldiers since the beginning of time have gone to war for what some people believe to be justified reasons whilst others claim it was needless.

A soldiers job is to fight for his country, he surely does not join the armed services assuming that he will never go to war.
That's what makes a soldier stand out from the rest, unlike the war years when conscripts were sent to fight, our present day fighting machine is a volunteers fighting machine.
The men who volunteer know what the risks are and have willingly agreed to serve their country and protect the freedom of it's people.

Your family member gave his life for his country but that was the duty he signed up to do. I am proud of our forces and the job they are doing, ultimately, some will pay with their lives as has been the case throughout history.

Please dont rely on reasons why your family member should not have been sent to war as an outlet for your anger over his death.

Answer 3

The issue you have with what you are writing here, with respect, is that you are repeating something which is only one side of the argument, and this whole subject is so much more complicated than that.

There are loads of stories on the net and in newspapers which are not true, but make great reading. Conspiracy theories are always more entertaining than the truth, but that doesnt make them correct.

We all know that Iraq used to have WMD's (because they used them against the Kurds and the Iranians in the 80's) but certainly didn't have any by the time they got invaded.

We also know that Sadaam was not a supporter of Al Queda, but much of the current insurgency is Al Queada inspired.

So the war wasn't about WMD's and it wasnt about Al Queada. I agree.

It also however wasn't about oil either as the U.S has no need for any more oil, and the big oil companies were already making their money out of Iraqi oil through the oil for food export scheme.

Therefore there are other more complex and less "published" reasons and rationale and thats what we need to find.

One of these however, could be a plan to create a place where terrorists would go to fight American soldiers, which kept them away from blowing up American citizens in the U.S itself.

The rationale behind this would seem to make sense in light of the influx of foreign Jihadists into Iraq where they come up against highly armed soldiers rather than civilans on their way to work in New York.

In short however the Iraq war was wrong, and the real reasons are yet to be uncovered. It wasnt however about oil. Thats too simplistic.

Answer 4

Sorry to hear that you lost a family member. I answered your last question, and it seems that a lot of the people who think as we do are British. If we'd had a different PM instead of Blair we could have avoided going to war with Bush. Maybe a different PM could have even persuaded Bush not to invade Iraq.

Yes there was a cover up. Kelly was used as a scapegoat in the UK, and he died too (Many people believe that he was murdered and did not commit suicide)

Answer 5

Was this war a cover up? I've been told by wise people that two things you should never discuss in public is War and Politics. Oh well here I go. Well, as a veteran that was injured in Desert Storm, I can tell you that what your hearing on the news about what's going on in Iraq is all a bunch of crap that the democratic party is drumming up to attempt to win this next presidential election. We first went to Iraq to protect our "Interests" in the Persian Gulf. Yes, we have business over there as well as contractors and civilians who deserve protection. And the same Liberal people who cry and complain about how we're over there just to protect the oil fields are the same people who cry and complain and moan about the price of gas. After Desert Storm was over, Saddam Hussein signed a unconditional surrender which meant "He gave up" and will do what we say to end our hostility, but yet he still shot missiles at our airplanes that were flying over to monitor his chemical stockpiles and to confirm the destruction and dismantling of the same which he agreed to when he signed the surrender. After all the troops pulled out he did what ever he wanted to and only was punished by President Clinton when he was forced to by the public. We went to war the second time for two reasons. #1. Saddam Hussein refused to show any proof of the chemical and biological weapons being disposed of. #2. President Clinton was to much of a Liberal Jerk with his own agenda of trying to get laid, to follow up on our policies of sanctions and insure that Saddam Hussein complied with the guidelines of his surrender. I saw for myself two areas that had huge stockpiles of weapons that are probably either buried in the desert somewhere or are in Syria. If you remember, there were two countries that opposed the sanctions and the idea of us going to war in the United Nations. France and Germany. In 1972 Saddam Hussein purchased stockpiles of Cyclone B (A nerve agent used in the extermination of the Jews during the second world war) from Germany. He also purchased a large amount of self-guided missiles from France in which he could put these chemicals. He also purchased from the United States, large amounts of Botulism agents that were supposed to be used for medical uses. To insure that the Cyclone B still worked, he bombed a village of Kurds (His own people) and killed thousands. Whole cities. That is why he was ultimately hung and the reason for George H. Bush's launched Dessert Storm. There were only two other people who really had enough balls to back us in this and they were Tony Blair and Margret "Aunt Maggie" Thatcher. Margret Thatcher was very familiar with Saddam Hussein"s ways of doing business since he attempted to have her assassinated several times. Men like Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden have ways of excepting our help to fight countries like Iran and Russia but then will attack the same people who helped them. Do I feel it was a cover up? Yes, but not by our current administration. It just goes to show you how much someone will lie to gain presidential power. The same person who is attempting to come off as someone who is telling you the truth. But people don't remember the truth, they remember just what they hear on T.V. and then they forget again. By the way... I was a devoted Democrat until Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

Answer 6

Of course it was a cover-up and all pre-arranged. Please feel free to IM or e-mail me.
