Yes, if Bush Sr & Jr really wanted to help Iraq why didn't Sr destroy Saddam back then in 1990 ?

Not exactly. Many of the principals in the Bush administration had served under Bush Senior, and so yes there was a fixtion on Iraq. But even Bush Senior would not have done what Bush Jr did in dangerously jeopardizing the US by engaging us in a losing war without hope in Iraq.

Bush Jr lied to the American people and has put us in a losing position in the Middle East. We are now losing not only Iraq, but also Afghanistan which is actually the ideological nerve center for those who attacked us. Bush LIED about WMDs in Iraq, Saddam posed no imminent threat to the US. Bush MISLED Americans into thinking that we were fighting Iraq in response to 911. Top White House officials, military, and intelligence agencies advised AGAINST this. Because not only WASN'T Iraq involved in 911, but Iraq had not been involved in ANY terrorist action against the US since 1993. Al Qaeda was the threat -- and Saddam had actually been fighting Al Qaeda too!

The war on Iraq is the stupidest thing America has done as a nation, ever. We have the worst president ever, right now. Period. Wake up guys -- America is NOT SAFER.

No - in fact for most of his Bush Sr's career, he and Saddam were pretty close.
Bush Jr invaded Iraq because there was a buck to be made out of it.
His model for the US economy needed a Keynsian spending kick - war is a good one. Also from a supply side point - controlling the output of Iraqi oil will create a steady flow at a pre-determined price.
Pity he didn't plan for what would actually happen and the whole thing has gone belly up.

His dad ought to honestly have taken out Saddam. He did not because he knew what ought to ensue. he's even stated he recommended his son adverse to it. Bush invaded Iraq because he did not pay interest to his protection stress experts. everybody with authentic protection stress journey, which include his own Sec'y of State on the time, advised him it should be no longer attainable to stabilize the rustic with the stress we had. yet instead Bush listened to the naive ideologues contained in the PNAC, challenge for a clean American Century, who needed u.s. to be the international hegemon. None of those adult males had any protection stress journey. there is even a narrative that Saddam tried to assassinate Poppa Bush. yet there is not any honestly info of this, it really is in simple terms one in each and every of those thoughts human beings repeat.

That's only one reason of many. Bush jr. felt Saddam was a threat to Israel because Saddam had lobbed rockets at Israel in 1991. He also felt Saddam was threat to free enterprise because Saddam had nationalized the oil resources in the 1980's. Finally, Bush jr. believed that a pro-American, pro-Israel gov't was planted in the center of the middle east, the region would "modernize" and become like the west.

It is alleged that Saddam tried to have Bush Sr assassinated. As I said ALLEGED. That was never proven, but the government said it was true. Kind of like all the WMD's that we invaded Iraq for, which turned out to be ALLEGED, but we were told it was 100% true. Yet those in power knew at best, it was circumstantial.

It is also ALLEGED, that Bush Jr decided, because of the attempted assassination of Bush Sr that it was pay back time. Maybe, maybe not, but we do know one thing, there sure is a lot of oil in Iraq.

I'll let you draw your own conclusion from that.


Peace

No, because he is a barking Jewish + Exxon dog

Joel Leyden
Israel News Agency

"....Jerusalem----April 2.....The American Jewish Congress today congratulated Paul Wolfowitz on his election as the president of the World Bank.

In Israel, The Jerusalem Post had selected Paul Wolfowitz as its Man of the Year for 2002. The Post stated: "On September 15, 2001, at a meeting in Camp David, Wolfowitz advised President George W. Bush to skip Kabul and train American guns on Baghdad.

"When President Bush says, "America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons" -- that's Wolfowitz talking. When the president calls for "a new Arab charter that champions internal reform, greater political participation, economic openness and free trade" -- that's Wolfowitz's talking, too...."

Wolfowitz, Perl, and the other NeoCon-men had the plans for invading Iraq written up in the 1990s.

All they needed was a useful idiot and an excuse and they got both in 2001.

The invasion of Iraq is about two things and two things only: Oil and israel, and not necessarily in that order, depending on the NeoCon-man.

Onward, Christian Soldiers...

Yes. And may I add that the Japs detained former American chess champion, Bobby Fischer, on US orders, because Bullshit Jr.'s father had a vendetta against him too. And if the Japs acted on US orders, on whose orders did those who murdered Klara Mandic acted?

Klara Mandic-a Jewish women who was born in the Holocaust, adopted by a Serbian family and lost her entire biological family in the Holocaust-was a prominent member of the Serbian Israeli Friendship Association. On the 11.5.2001 (the time of the Djindjic Regime, which came to power whit US help), she was beaten to death in her Belgrade apartment, her body was shot and set alight. Though apparently nothing was taken from her apartment, the police "concluded that roberry was the motive for the murder"...

Of course not. Iraq ignored and violated nearly 20 U.N. resolutions since the end of the first Gulf War. We now know that there were no WMDs there, but if Saddam had just let weapons inspectors verify that instead of stonewall every U.N. effort, the stupid bastard would be alive today. Bush haters forget that every major country's intelligence agencies believed he still had them. And yes, he did have WMDs at some point because he used them on his own citizens and on Iran during their war. He counted on the incompetence of the U.N. and his friends in China and Russia to protect him and block any U.S. action. Guess he figured wrong.
