how long did you think it was going take? Send a couple of missiles over kill a few thousand and come home.
Let Me see South Korea 50 years later we are still there. Cuba still there Japan still there Balkans Still there. I believe Clinton promised 1 year and we are out. Aren't we approaching 10 years now
You're the one that seems quite happy dealing with murders, butchers, and torturers. It seems not to bother you the fact that Saddam was becoming enriched. How else was he using this money???
I thought you were smart enough to know these things. My mistake I will be more careful in the future to give links to past and present events, as it was again not on the 6'oclock news My apologies
Think about it??? WND the http://www.drudgereport.com/ and FoxNews were screaming about this for over 2 years, but since they're right-wingers and don't pull any punches they're bias, and hate mongers.
Do you honestly think the UN is going to sit there and start pointing fingers at itself and give honest reporting???? Both of the reports have so much political spin in them and niceties there worthless. But even the fact that the UN has had to launch an investigation gives immense credence to WND articles.
You yourself said the UK and the US pushed this program through, but it was handed over to the UN which was then run by France and Russia with so much corruption that they can't white wash it.
It does surprise me that you managed to miss this for SO long. So how update are you on current events that don't hit the 6 o'clock news?????
This exact attitude toward appeasement/diplomacy/peace at any cost started WWII.
Saddam was neither a madman nor crazy, he was a cool calculating man that almost stayed in power, to continue his rapping, murdering, torturing way of life. And to think if we did it your way he would still be in power killing people. I guess that's OK???
So who truly is the monster, the killer, rapist or the ones who protect them???
While ignoring the slaughter of innocent Iraqis, the U.N. administered the oil-for-food program, which generated more than $100 billion dollars, supposedly for the people of Iraq. We have known for years that the oil money did not go to the people, but to palaces for Saddam and his cronies. We are now learning that his cronies were not all in Iraq.
We are also gaining some insight as to why the U.N. Security Council failed to enforce resolution after resolution against Iraq. Both France and Russia, leading opponents to President Bush's efforts to enforce U.N. Resolution 1441, were deeply involved in commerce with Hussein and, it now appears, were also up to their ears in corrupt transactions through the oil-for-food program.
Russia received more than 2.5 billion barrels of Saddam's oil, and France got 165 million barrels. The Communist Party got 137 million barrels, and 90 million went to the Russian Presidential Cabinet. The French Minister of the Interior got 12 million barrels, and Jacques Chirac's close friend and financial supporter, Patrick Maugein, got 36 million barrels
I guess it makes you fill warm and fuzzy knowing that the Son of bitch was being enriched via France Germany and Russia and killing millions with the oil for food program.
containment worked but at the cost of what??? our soul
Many of the arguments posted have one common thread Return to the Carter and Clinton administration path of diplomacy.
These polices were a complete failure.
Carter could not get hostages out of Iran. It was Regan who promised war that got the hostages out.
Clinton was suppose to have dealt with this problem 10 years ago but we are right back in the same boat.
Men like Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Kim Jong only respond to force nothing less. If you believe cowboy diplomacy got us into this mess please explain why years of UN dealing with Iraq we never saw the end of Saddam, and Talban in Afghanistan???? It was this cowboy diplomacy that has started to put an end this crab.
Cowboy diplomacy as many have put it might be our only saving grace. Believe me boy and girls you don't want to fight this war on our city streets. Just look at the mess in the Balkans, Iraq, Israel, and the Sudan the list goes on and on. I for one would rather fight this war on their soil not mine.
The future is not yet but anything like what I have read happens. I'm going to get in my BIG TRUCK or SUV or my Shelby Cobra running a 427 with 600HP which gets 3 miles to the gallon turn on the Nitrous, Drive down to local bell tower with my M-249 and M107 having up close suppressive fire power and long distance kill range up to 1000 yards and go POSTAL

That is 7 years of corruption, giving money to a murder.
Take comfort then.
