How US helped Iraq build deadly arsenal

BTW, that's the business I'm in. I know for unquestioned fact that the US oil companies would prefer it if Iraqi oil stayed off the market. It forces the oil prices up and the oil companies are making near record profits because of it. Think about infrastructure contracts for both rebuilding and on-going operation. France and Russia had those, albeit severely limited by sanctions. Now the US has lifted scanctions, cancelled the existing contracts and is goving those contracts to US firms. |

How US helped Iraq build deadly arsenal
In article , tchiowa2@hotmail
..com says... Same thing in Iraq. Oil had absolutely nothing to do with it. And you _really_ believe that? You must be one of the very few people in the world to believe such a lie. Absolutely I believe it. It doesn't make any sense that oil had anything to do with it. BTW, that's the business I'm in. I know for unquestioned fact that the US oil companies would prefer it if Iraqi oil stayed off the market. It forces the oil prices up and the oil companies are making near record profits because of it. *****Poor old Tchiowa, blindly following the party line. :-) |

Now think about the money for those contracts. It's mostly coming from US taxpayers. Are you suggesting that the US spent billions of dollars invading Iraq so that they could spend billions more dollars rebuilding it using US contractors? This is just one example of how the whole conspiracy theory doesn't wash. |

How US helped Iraq build deadly arsenal
Tonkin wasn't a "lie" but just a "spin" and the gummint has a way of
"spinning" it the way they want... ("Spin" - meaning "I'll tell the story whatever way I want to tell it") "Craig Welch" wrote in message ...

As has been said, that simply isn't how the US does things. Dead right. The US does things the proper way. By lying. About WMD in Iraq, and about the Gulf of Tonkin incident in Vietnam. |

Are you certain it was "millions", and are you certain that they're the same people? Why? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

Yup. We were outraged when some idiot put a baby's life at risk with a crocodile so he could entertain people and make money and we cheered when America removed a violent tyrant who had killed hundreds of thousands of people and began a process where freedom and democracy can come to the millions of people in Iraq and where they no longer have to fear torture and death at Saddam's hands. We probably saved a million lives. And we removed a threat from the US. Yes, we cheered. |

How US helped Iraq build deadly arsenal
When Saddam was killing and gassing Iraqis, guess who it was who was
supporting him. The US didn't care one jot about Saddam murdering Iraqis, they were prepared to support and supply Saddam Hussein. Donald Rumsfeld was the key guy at that time. Read this article http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/122603C.shtml So it's no good trying to make out that US attacked Iraq because Saddam was a violent tyrant who had killed hundreds of thousands of people, US was supporting his murderous activities in the 1980's.
