"Conspiracy?"

Everything I posted is based on facts and is public information.

[strunke]

Talk about brainwashed.....nice conspriacy tuckerndfw, however I could make one up just as convincing about Kellog and Post manufacturing and invasion of Iraq.

[rafterman1]

"The US can stay in Iraq for 1,000 years and nothing will change so long as the goal is to "westernize" Iraqis. Maybe Iraqis do NOT want to be "western." Did that ever occur to you?"

Uh, isn't that what I said when I said Iraq will probably just turn against us once we leave? You can't force democracy on people at gunpoint. Especially when their history is not one of democratic leaders.

The US & UK manufactured intelligence to support their desire to steal Iraq's oil.

D. Rumsfeld invented the "Office of Special Plans" for the sole & exclusive purpose of creating artifical intelligence that could be interpreted to mean Iraq had WMD's.

"The Office of Special Plans, which existed from September, 2002, to June, 2003, was a Pentagon unit created by Donald Rumsfeld and led by Douglas Feith, dealing with intelligence on Iraq."

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Special_Plans

George Walker Bush is a habitual liar and he knew that Iraq had no WMD's. We know this because if the US actually believed Iraq to have WMD's, the US would have never invaded.


George Bush is a liar and his supporters are morons (those who aren't war profiteering, that is).

[rafterman1]

"He was as misled as the rest of us ab't WMD's."

Oh really? What about the yellowcake story (that Iraq was trying to buy yellowcakes used in nuke development from Africa)? The CIA told Bush it was false, but he still used it to justify the Iraq war in his speech. Makes you wonder what else Bush "didn't know" about WMD.

Conklin,

Prior to the invasion of Iraq, US & UK oil companies were prohibited by Saddam Hussein from bidding on development of Iraqi oil fields.

Immediately following the invasion, the US & UK announced contracts would only be awarded to "coalition" partners (US & UK firms).

The primary reason the US & UK invaded was to gain control of Iraq's oil fields. Oil companies have no intention of providing "cheap oil" to anyone, including Americans. Nor do ExxonMobil & British Petroleum (exclusive agents for Iraq's oil) intend to let the profits be used to repay the US Treasury for the hostile takeover they engineered.

Anyone who believes the US & UK invaded Iraq for any reason other than oil (profit generally) is either very naive or a moron.

ExxonMobil has been posting record profits since the invasion began. And most recently posted the largest annual profits of any company in world history.

The facts are clear and speak for themselves.

The invasion of Iraq is the greatest heist in world history. George Bush & Tony Blair are criminal conspirators who are conspiring to steal Iraq's oil.

DRinUK, no I haven't been brainwashed. They did not lie about him, they were using intelligence reports that said what they said. Not just one, but thousands, from every different nation that had intelligence agency. Everyone thought he had WMDs and he did at one point. We had the right to go in and remove him from power after the first time he violated the ceasefire from the Gulf War, but we didn't we gave him 17 chances to turn it around. Then we decided enough was enough.

jh6379...is your IQ below 70 or something? Click the down arrow on your browser. I responded to you already. You spout nothing but empty slogans. I respond to you in kind.

I can understand the Brits being upset about the war. But if you look at the history, Tony was beating the drums as early as W. was, even if not as loudly. You Brits are more restrained. At least some of you.

[djconklin]

DRinUK, Bush did NOT go to war with Iraq for oil. If that was true then we wouldn't have to pay for our troops being there--selling the oil would pay for it. He was as misled as the rest of us ab't WMD's.

If we leave now when the country is in the midst of a civil war the whole Middle East could blow up. It is best for everyone that we solve the problem there now.

strunke, Iraq will never become like Iran. It is too divided by sectarian blocks. The most likely scenario is that if we leave now it will spiral out of control and will become fractured further possibly into three countries. BTW, the rest of your observation is right on target.

[drinuk]

Strunke you've been brainwashed, this lot have been at it for almost three thousand years. Bush got involved because he lay in bed and saw dollar signs cascading down from the ceiling. He saw Oil, Re-Building and Arms and of course his friends in Israel did not to dirty their hands.
They lied and lied and lied, in fact Saddam was doing a far better job but they lied about him too. Get the hell out of there.

[Jim1900]

DRinUK

I should have added that it is due to the naivety of the public as well as the news media.

[strunke]

I responded already to your post, and in the sae style as you as well.

The fact that this is news is because the "Hawks" in both the Pentagon and the MOD in London attempted to hide the truth from the Coroner and prevent him from giving a truthful verdict, this is about the law of the land, They got found out. If anyone is niave it is you and those idiots who thought they could disregard the people and the family of a dead soldier.

[tuckerndfw]

Rafterman,

The majority of Israelis are communist atheists from the former Soviet Union or E. Germany.

The only reason Americans believe we have anything in common with the communist state of Israel is due to the outrageous lies Zionists tell & repeat.

Search on "Operation AJAX" and you should discover that the Iranin revolution of 1979 was the direct result of US interference in Iranian affairs that resulted in the installation of a brutal dictator known as the "Shah of Iran."

Saddam Hussein & the Shah of Iran were both actively supported by the US.

The US can stay in Iraq for 1,000 years and nothing will change so long as the goal is to "westernize" Iraqis. Maybe Iraqis do NOT want to be "western."

Did that ever occur to you?

[strunke]

I'm sorry DRinUK, but war invoves death. For the level of conflict it is, 3k is a low number. It is too bad that any had to die though, but in this world there is good and there is evil. The stakes are much higher then people realize. I don't care whether you agreed with going into Iraq. But there is no question that we have to stablize Iraq before we leave. In no circumstances do we leave it unable to control and defend instelf.

[drinuk]

The Dynamics my dear Strunke will be 3000 more coffins draped with the Stars and Stripes. A President totally disgraced and a Prime Minister in Britian who may face a full on "Wategate" type investigation and both countries back in the dark ages.

[Jim1900]

In the U.S. Civil War, about 1/3 of all casualties were due to friendly fire. That has been reduced in each succeeding war until it is now at a very low level. The fact that this is news at all is due more to the naivety of the news media than anything else.

[strunke]

jh6379...

Yeah....sure. I am a posting robot, I'm a loser, but my posts actual change in wording as opposed to yours....whose drinking kool-aid?

Rafterman1...

If we lose in Iraq, it will become a more powerful version of Iran. That is not an option. And no we don't need to stay there 100 years. But we need to stay there long enough to have a trained Iraqi army and police to maintain the peace and keep foreign powers out. A democratic Iraq is good for everyone but the people that are against American, British, and any free peoples interests. If we leave too soon it will turn into a swill of terrorism and authoritarianism.

[rafterman1]

"If we lose this war the consequences are far worse then if we stay there"

What are the consequences if we lose? Even if we stabilize Iraq, it will be a ***** dominated government sympathetic to Iran. You don't think they will eventually turn on us once the troops are gone? And if that's the case, then what? Do we stay for 100 years?

The reason we can stay friends with western governments or the Israelis is becasue we share common values and lifestyles. Familiarity breeds friendship. We share none of those thing with any Muslim countries and any "friendships" are only what is politically expediate at the time and fleeting. Look at all the effort we spent in propping up Iran pre-1979. How badly did that end? Expect the same with Iraq. Is the cost worth what could end up a situation where we are simply arming our future enemies.

[strunke]

DRinUK. We haven't lost this war. If you think we have you obviously don't understand the dyanmics of it. If we lose this war the consequences are far worse then if we stay there.

jh6379. Your repeated posts are annoying. You must work for some far left smear website that pays people to blog and post negatively....funny.
