A Brief History of our Involvement with Iraq -- whether you like it
or not:
 | The United States supported Iraq and Saddam because he opposed Iran.
|
| The United States gave Saddam technology and material to produce and
use WoMD, including chemical and biological
components. We did nothing when he used these weapons on his enemies. |
| The war with Iran drained the Iraqi coffers. This resulted in Saddam's
need to generate greater revenues to pay for rebuilding.
SIDEBAR: The United States supported Iraq in the endeavor against
Iran. The U.S. hated the Ayatollah after the Shaw, a puppet of the United States,
was removed. Do you see a
pattern here?
|
| Saddam complained to the United States that Kuwait was stealing oil.
He threatened to invade Kuwait. |
| The U.S. Ambassador, April Glaspie led Saddam to believe that the U.S.
was indifferent to his invasion of Kuwait. |
| Iraq invades Kuwait; the U.S. sets up a coalition to repel the Iraqi
invading force.
|
ENTER OSAMA BIN LADEN |
 |
FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitive
Still Not Captured |
|
| Osama opposes the infidels (That would be the United States and Co.),
that entered and built bases on Saudi Arabia, Muslim land. |
| A treaty is signed and Saddam agrees to be monitored, etc. He destroys
the WoMD. There is turmoil, but overall, he is controlled. |
| On 9/11, Osama Bin Laden’s followers fly planes into the Twin Towers. |
| The United States invades Afghanistan to capture the perpetrators.
|
| The United States insists that Iraq has WoMD and that Saddam conspired
with Osama. The U.S. insists Iraq is an imminent threat. |
| The United States invades Iraq without legitimate authorization. |
| The United States finds no WoMD, no terrorists and no links to Al
Quida, the basis for the invasion. |
| The United States has now shifted from imminent threat
to liberators, except it is hard to liberate those who you
are killing. |
Summary:
To date, here's the score:
Over three thousand one hundred Americans are dead, many thousands have
been seriously injured and over 70,000 Americans have been evacuated from
Iraq for medical reasons (granted, not all war related).
The
death toll in Iraq stands at 655,000 as of October 2006.
The perpetrators of 9/11 have not been prosecuted.
It is now a fact: The
WMDs were a scam.
We have turned the entire Middle East
against us as well as most of the world.
The dept load to
the United States is running at about $6 to $8 billion per
month with a potential total cost of $2 trillion dollars.
We are paying for this war while our jobs are being
outsourced. Middle class American is failing as the wealth rises to the
top. In fact, we have used Social Security, once having a surplus of $1
Trillion, to help fund this debacle.
And the net result? What can we learn from invading a country and
occupying it based on lies?
Apparently nothing!

Support:
U.S. Supplied Necessary Material for Chemical and
Biological Weapons:

The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W.
Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both
military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and
deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.
U.S. Leads Saddam to believe that attacking Kuwait is
acceptable:

http://www.chss.montclair.edu/english/furr/glaspie.html
U.S. foreign policy was sending Saddam Hussein mixed
messages, as Iraq's dispute with Kuwait simmered. At the time, U.S.
Ambassador April Glaspie was reported in the New York Times as giving
very ambiguous signals to Saddam Hussein regarding Kuwait, allegedly
telling Hussein that the United States had no interest in Arab-Arab
disputes.
Osama Bin Ladin and Al Quida declare war on the United
States due to occupation of Islamic lands:
http://www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/hearing3/witness_sageman.htm
At the time, it aimed at getting U.S. forces out of
the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia and Somalia. It became official
al Qaida policy with Osama bin Laden's August 23, 1996 Declaration of
War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places .
The Security Council Vote does NOT authorize the United
States to attack Iraq:
http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0820-04.htm#1
and
http://www.fpif.org/progresp/volume6/v6n25_body.html
Based on evidence that the Bush administration has
made public, there does not appear to be anything close to sufficient
legal grounds for the United States to convince the Security Council to
approve the use of military force against Iraq in U.S. self-defense.
This may explain why the Bush administration has thus far refused to go
before the United Nations on this matter. Unless the United States gets
such authorization, any such attack on Iraq would be illegal and would
be viewed by most members of the international community as an act of
aggression. In contrast to the Persian Gulf War of 1990-91, it is likely
that the world community would view the United States—not Iraq—as the
international outlaw.
