Subject: RE: BS: Why Iraq Was a Mistake, Teribus...
BB if you want to go back to the VERY beginning, we had no right to invade Iraq the FIRST time! We have made the Middle East filthy rich by buying their oil. Why can't they settle their own disputes?
You are using our anti war stand after Saddam refused to comply with the UN orders. We invaded him, ordered him to not fly over his own country, continued inspections of his country, including his palaces, for 7 years for what? OIL.
Let's start at the beginning. Our Ambassador appointed by George H.W. Bush told Saddam that we didn't care what he did over there, so he invaded Kuwait. While our military were fighting the Iraqi invaders, their own young men were cruising the streets of Cairo trying to pick up chicks!
We got sucked into another damned war. Those reports of Iraqui soldiers stealing incubation units from Kuwait, and dumping babies out of them in the process was just more propaganda. The woman who reported that admitted later that it was not true.
Personally, I don't give a rats ass who invaded who over there as long as they leave Israel alone.

I'm sick to death of my leaders spending us into the poor house bombing women and children while our own children go without medical care. That is MY idea of barbaric!
