[What?]

The yanks put Saddam in, then they took him out. In was easier than out. It is therefore fair to assume that an Iraqi leader is the opposite entity to a piston ring.

The Yanks won't have much luck persuading other countries to trust their Intel in future??

George Junior gets a pat on the back from Dad for finishing what he started??

It's Vietnam, 1973 all over again. Amerika got into a mire that it couldn't easily extract itself from.
800 dead Yanks, between 9000 and 11,000 dead Iraqi's, for what?
They were better off with Saddam, at least they had a functioning country. Now they'll fall under the control of people that'll make the Taliban look like models of tolerance.
I'd love to see a pyschological study of George Dubya's motivators for this little adventure. An Oedipal complex would only be the start of it.

Do an internet search on PNAC - Project for a New American Century. Hasn't got the same ring (or timespan) as "Thousand Year Reich" but it's a start.

It's a miserable sad woeful story.....no WMD. No linkage of Saddam to Al Qaeda. An Iraqi people deeply resentful of the US presence.
I sort of wonder, in my simple-minded way, why choose Iraq when there are so many other worthy candidates for George Bush to rescue (how about Somalia? Or Chechnya?)What am I missing??? :spudwhat: ....mmmmmmmmmmmm

Not that much oil in either Somalia or Chechnya. But Iraq is sitting on a whole shitload, and further more it's right in the middle of the region that has a whole lot more. Iraq becomes a huge US military base, well placed to keep an eye on all those troublemaking ragheads.

Nothing has changed, before the Yanks: torture and executions by their own people, Yanks arrive:shot and blown up by their own people (and Yanks), Yanks leave: torture and execution by their own people, the wheel has gone right around.
Notice how the hero executioners are too scared to uncover their faces, and how Turkish hostages got released but no others.(well not with their heads on)
It's all a sorry mess and the Yanks should get out and wash their hands of it - and be prepared to put up with flack for the massacres that will take place when they leave, they're in a lose-lose situation.
Mans inhumanity to man, never fails to surprise me

Just another conspiracy theory. History is full of them. The Illuminati, The Masons. Zion, The UN etc. The problem with conspiracy theories is that they are just theories; they can never be proved or disproved. Just 'gota' have the faith and then they are true and no amount of common sense or discourse of any kind will alter the opinion of those that promote them.
