[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lucy Lastic: [QB] orig. posted by Glassman: [QUOTE]we sure did cheer him on when he was gassing Iranians.....[/QUOTE]we did more than just cheer them on. we helped. we provided direct intel. "the idea was to keep the war going until they destroyed each other." said some admin. insider. the CIA provided satellite photos, signals intercepts. we helped iraq beat iran, and we chose to do this despite hussein's well-known atrocities. WE WERE WILLING TO OVERLOOK GENOCIDE. to say 10 years later (when it becomes politically useful to do so) that sadam is a tyrant and needs to be stopped is completely disingenuous. pack of liars and crooks. General Clarke said that while couples were still jumping hand-in-hand from the WTC to their deaths, the white house called him and said "pin it on Iraq." It's alreadyknown that they were looking for a way to hit Iraq b4 911. So while americans were dying all these crooks could think of was "here's our chance." meanwhile, DQR wants to debate the Iraqi death toll. the following is from: http://www.mykeru.com/bodycount.html ....Figures for persons killed under the regime of Saddam Hussein.... The sort of person who raises this as an argument frequently includes some or all of the 500,000 persons who died as a direct result of U.N. sanctions against Iraq as victims of the regime itself. This exclusion is not intended as a defense of the Hussein regime. However, it is the rejection of a red herring argument that atrocities committed by a brutal regime excuses--even justifies--our own atrocities against the same victims. And yes, killing [even a mere] several thousand innocent people for reasons so obscure or erroneous that the rationale shifts over time from WMDs to liberation to "weapons related program activities" to the "terrorist flypaper" strategy to basically whatever, pretty much makes [b]every death an atrocity.[/b] the average age of the American soldier in Iraq is 27....demographically, Iraq's population, as of January 1, 2004 breaks down as: 0-14 years: 40.3% (male 5,198,966; female 5,039,173) 15-64 years: 56.7% (male 7,280,167; female 7,094,688) 65 years and over: 3% (male 357,651; female 404,046) (2004 est.) In other words, four of ten civilians killed are children. [/QB][/QUOTE]
