So your argument is that as they did not fake the WMD's they are not corrupt at all? Even Bush is not stupid enough to have thought faking nukes would have been a good idea, there is no way they would have got away with it if you know anything about nuclear and chemical weapons production. Apart from the fact that there are other countries involved, the UN weapons inspectors would have demanded samples and they would known straight away the origin. No, when the so called intelligence became obviously flawed (intelligence from government agencies, so they must take some responsibilities) they rolled out a few more increasingly weak lies - it was because of 9/11 (which it had absolutely nothing to do Iraq). Then when people started questioning that nonsense then then moved on and said it was to stop his human rights abuses - which is odd, when you consider that many other countries (most middle east countries in fact) have far worse human rights yet the US (and know one else, im not singling out the US here) could be bothered, in fact often did business with them. And the predicted collateral damage was also moe than and people murdered by Saddam anyway (let alone the actual collateral damage, thats much higher). So basically we all know that Iraq was an illegal war, which was based on lies and was a cover for Bush and his administrations friends and families to profit from. Whats insulting, is that many American, British and other nations have lost good men and women simply so a group of the elite could get richer from the oil and the reconstruction/military contracts. Also, is not using the memory of all the poor innocent people who did on 9/11, when their deaths had nothing to do with this, not insulting to their memories? To be fair, I dont think the Bush etc actually thought that it would have got this bad, and they have done some things to put it right, but they still need to be held account for. My government too, im not attacking America im talking about the Bush and UK administrations. 86atc250r;357725 Wrote: > It's unfortunate that almost no one else had the "nuts" to go over > there with us and remove this dangerous person from a position of > power. Even if the war was based on actual true facts, most countries had the good sense to see that it was pointless and would end in a mess. -- autopilot *Lounge :* Squeezebox Classic -> Cambridge Audio Azur 640a -> Mission 701's. *Bedroom :* Squeezebox Receiver -> Trends TA10.1 Class-T -> Kef Cresta 1's *Office :* Softsqueeze -> Logitech Active 5.1's. *Kitchen :* Squeezebox Boom -coming soon- *Roaming : * Squeezebox Controller -> Logitech mm28 portable speakers / Shure E2c's *Controllers :* Squeezebox Controller x 2 + Logitech Harmony one *Server :* SC7.3b (Vista 64) + AlienBBC, iPlayer & MusicIP headless.
