Reply #19: You claim that "One policy was to curb a threat" but I disagree

[Steve A Play]

It's very well documented fact that the Iraqi military wasn't much to begin with by modern standards and was thoroughly decimated by our forces during the first Gulf War. The so called "Highway of Death" at the end of that conflict still stands out in my mind as one of the worst atrocities committed in modern times. We not only inflicted a heavy toll on the Iraqi military in Kuwait but we completely destroyed whatever was left of it as they retreated after the fact.

You bought the claim that Iraq was a "threat" because it was our democratic leaders that sold that particular lipstick covered pig, but can you at this point offer any real proof that they were a threat to anyone?

The real evidence both then and now says they weren't a threat and our government's actions only served to escalate the tensions in the region. Remember, Osama Bin Laden even mentioned our involvement in Iraq's internal problems as part of the rational for the 9/11 attacks.

Those who don't know their history are condemned to repeat it. :)

You get the representatives you're willing to accept. I'm putting my representatives on notice. I will not accept lies from them no matter what party they belong to.
