For those who may have missed it Mr. Bill on the No-Sense zone declared that we have not invaded Iraq. But I always thought sending troops, guns, bombs, warplanes etc. into a sovereign nation was invading. Hmmmmm...Below is the clip for those who may have missed it of him saying we didn't invade enjoy.
That is interesting. I would love to see how many UN resolutions the US government has violated during that same time span. Pot, meet kettle.
I will agree that the first Gulf War had some merit, although it was crafted under less than honorable terms and conditions. You can make the case that technically, we did have a legitimate reason to intervene.
If I recall correctly, the second time around went a bit differently. We were fresh off of the 9/11 attacks and looking to crack heads, and obviously it didn't matter who's head it was. Iraq had not attacked any other nation, had attacked no US interests, they have never been proven to have had one single thing to do with 9/11 or the terrorists that were supposedly involved. Saddam was never linked to Al Quaid and even though he likely had them, there have never been any WMD's found in Iraq.
Bush invaded Iraq in order to set up a base inside of the middle east so that the US could stage a presence in the region to help protect Israel. Also they invaded Iraq, which was a sovereign nation, in order to gain access to critical oil deposits and to rack up billions of tax dollars on government contracts, rebuilding infrastructure etc
The fact is that our military invaded and took over a foreign country with no UN approval and no world support aside from Israel and the UK, two countries who basically were forced to go along with our policies. The invading force is now an OCCUPYING forces. Clean it up, shine it up, dress it however you want. We took that country over and have brutalized it's citizens and have never provided a real and honest reason for doing so. I don't like to admit it either, but it is true.
