Well, if you look at the facts, not the opinions, yes, I and 187 other countires, and 80% of America does know different.

20% of Iraq's population is displaced in neighboring countries.
upwards of 2 million citizens have died.
electricity and basic sanitation is a rare commodity to Iraqi Citizens

the puppet government we set up in the green zone barely controls the streets around its office.

The violence has only subsided because we paid off AlSadr.. and now the money's run dry..
the Iraqi prisons are more crowded and inhumane than when Saddam ran them
The Splurge costs us $300 million per day
and the general and his side-kick could give no end or budget or framework at all to Congress...

you tell me.... is that success?

Guys..I've said this all along...no one "liked" the tyrant, Saddam Hussein, however he held that multi-tribe mess in Iraq together with terror. It worked. We stuck our nose in, took over that country without Caring one whit about the fallout. Our own advisors told the whitehouse NOT to invade that country because of the multi-tribe/cultural mess that will be left warring against each other, and open the door for Iran's muslim takeover. This country KNEW BETTER, BUT DID IT ANYWAY. Our scumbag "leaders" have killed 4,000 young men and women and have drained our treasury and are deeply in debt to China FOR NOTHING. Smart military men go to war only when necessary..with an entrance strategy and an exit strategy. WE DID NOT DO THAT...and any way you look at it...we are just plain idiots.

How can anyone say that Saddam Hussein's rule of terror "worked"? AveMaria, ask the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs if it worked for them.

eli ...we can't compell you but spare us and take your looney disposition elsewhere...

y3y3

I'm game, what happened before 2001-2 ?

What connections do you have that are so obvious to you that you can say such blanket statements?

Heck, no skin off my teeth if you leave, but the fact you had to tell us you were going... makes me think you still got something to say.

Y3Y3..Sweets, I can't get too excited about Kuwait. We ALL know Saddam approached the Ambassador and ASKED how the U.S. would react if he "took back" the land that was Iraq's land, i.e. Kuwait. Madam Ambassador said, "We'd do nothing.. it is not our business." Whereupon Saddam and his best rolled into Kuwait. THEN....the whitehouse did a double-take and and "Oh spit!"....thus began Operation Desert Storm.

yes y3... I've heard of the UN.... have you heard the truth of how the US has undermined the usefulness and function of the UN since its creation... and how they torpedoed the League of Nations before that? Do you have any idea the reality of how we use our majority security partnership power to not only override any discussions that run counter to our corporate interests... but even have the records wiped clean as if the discussions never occurred?

1049... the Burundi Genocide resolution of 1996? no I don't know what that has to do with things?

Kuwait... Do you mean Iraq's invasion of Kuwait... and the response of the UN with 660?

Hussein notified Bush41 of his intention to secure interests in Kuwait with use of military force... exactly what Bush43 just did... and you have a problem with what?? the fact that we did nothing to discourage him and used it as an excuse to invade? Or that his son violated the UN by doing the same thing?

And tell me- how do you defend John -I hate the UN- Bolton being allowed to strongarm the UN over the objections not only of the UN, but also Congress and the American people?

Yes- do tell!
