    I just wanted to address your signature. You realize that we got OBL through foreign policy and procedures instituted by the Bush administration, and that all BHO had to do was sit back and watch on TV while Navy Seals did the shooting? He didn't do a thing.

    I liked Bush but there is not good coming out of Iraq or Afganistan and when we leave for good they will return to the cess pool they were before. They hate us and is time will try to kill all of us again. We do not understand how to win a war. You have to crush the enemy not just drive him back or force him into hiding.

    1. America, France and Britain sold WMD to Saddam.
    2. There were no WMD found in Iraq.

    What is hard to understand about that? Oh, I forgot, you're a conservative...

    I wonder why they hate you. I guess it couldn't be becouse you bombed the living crap out of their country, killed tens of thousands of their people and for no apparent reason, and left leaving the country in a far worse state than before the invasion.
    Yeah, that's a tricky one to figure out...

    And what do you mean 'again'? When was the first time that Iraq tried to kill you all-or did you just pull that out of your arse?

    Please provide proof of the US "selling WMDs to Iraq".

    What did you expect him to do? I didn't see Bush on the front line either, come to that. Commanders in chief, generals, field marshals seldom stray further than their headquarters. But you knew that.

    Islamists are not confined ot ONE nation. They assassinated Robert F. Kennedy, in 1968. All becasue they were "upset" at little Israel kicking the crap out of them in one week.

    Saddam Hussein was, unquestionably, a terror supporter. He is now, gone.

    Cool.

    Ooh, I guess in your fit of patriotic zeal you forgot the little matter of America's support for Pol Pot, after the hated Vietnamese stole America's thunder, invaded Cambodia and installed a Vietnamese-friendly government. Yeah, those terror supporters are real bastards, ain't they? http://msuweb.montclair.edu/~furrg/pol/pilgerpolpotnus.pdf
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/78988.stm

    Americans financed (with your tax dollars), succoured and supported not only terrorists, but genocidists, because they were 'a little upset' at Vietnam, and had a fit of pique. US hypocrisy knows no bounds, it seems.

    Here is what I am referring to:

    How convenient that you omit the apparent cognitive dissonance regarding lowering taxes on the wealthy while increasing government spending and prosecuting a War on Terror, and therefore not a time for lowering Taxes; especially when it only takes money to make more money under any form of Capitalism even during times of military conflict in the Middle East.

    Our current president inherited a lot of the deficit we have now.

    I may be "donating" more than half of an income I would normally have in a more efficient economy if our elected representatives could be moral enough to merely bear true witness to our own laws. I still have some respect for the rule of law.

    Did you think we would let Iran defeat and take over Iraq or the other way around? What nonsense.

    Our foreign policy has been more nonsense on a longitudinal basis; and it has only engendered a profit motive for persons of wealth.

    Why are we even wasting our exorbitantly expensive superpower in the Middle East? Would we have the same and mediocre foreign policies we have had on such a longitudinal basis while expecting or claiming to expect different results, if the wealthy had to pay wartime tax rates for even a War on Drugs and an even higher tax rate than that for actual military conflict in a foreign theater?

    Obama has added more debt than he has inherited, and in a much shorter time frame. The rate at which he has accumulated debt should be alarming. If it were all Bush's failed policies that produced such a massive uncontrollable debt, why has Obama not done anything to stop the bleeding? It's foolish to say it would take eight more years. Who would he blame it on then? His alter-ego?

    Its a current event because it has been reported that Assad has WMD's and may use them.

    Jovial do you have any links to Saddam and Assad hated each other? Even if they did, I think they both did what the Russians told them to.

    I only claim that an administration of the US actually went to war with a foreign nation on those grounds of access to chemical weapons; why would that administration have been so sure there were chemical weapons there but for some type of "fast and furious" operation involving those weapons?

    That's because this is your neocon opinion ... Bush and the neocons didn't invade Iraq because of chemical weapons ... the U.N. and the world rejected the invasion of Iraq simply because of the use chemical weapons long known used against the Irainians and Kurds ...

    No, that's why Bush and the neocons had to lie to the world that Saddam had *reconstituted nuclear weapons* ... despite the Israelis 23 years before destroying Osirak ...

    ... to frighten and hold the world hostage to the ensuing genocide and horror ...

    UK experts to help Iraq destroy chemical residues

    BAGHDAD (AP) — Britain will help the Iraqi government dispose of what's left of deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's chemical weapons, still stored in two bunkers in north of Baghdad, the British embassy in Baghdad announced Monday.
    The British Defense Ministry will start training Iraqi technical and medical workers this year, an embassy statement said. The teams will work to safely destroy remnants of munitions and chemical warfare agents left over from Saddam's regime. He was overthrown in 2003 following an American-led invasion.
    Saddam stored the chemical weapons near population centers so that he could access them quickly, despite the danger to his civilian population.
