| Certainly the unbiased CNN will make a documentary that documents all of Clinton's intelligence failures which precipitated the 9-11 terrorist attacks.
The point that everyone seems to miss these days is that if Saddam had allowed thorough weapon inspections rather than playing games, as he was required to do by the ceasefire agreement and UN resolutions, there would have been much less uncertainty.
Saddam was acting like he was guilty so that everyone assumed that he was. It's like a person pulling a toy gun on a police officer and getting shot. If you pretend to be a threat, don't be surprised if people believe you are a threat and act accordingly.
There's also the annoying little fact that we were under no obligation to get permission from the UN in the first place, or even keep them informed.
As many of us argued at the time, why even bother? All we were doing was risking that the words would be used against us later. And indeed they are.
Removing Saddam was its own purpose. He was paying 25k a homicide bomber in Israel. Hundreds of thousands dead in well over 200 mass graves. Jailed children, rape and torture rooms and so on.
We freed over 50 million in those two countries and being Saddam was killing nearly a hundred thousand people in his own country a year, we must be near 200,000 in saved lives in Iraq alone so far that would be dead under Saddam.
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson seems to like mass graves, killing innocent Jews with bombs and jailed children along with rape and torture rooms and I can’t say I know why. Has CNN asked why that is or are they just doing their traditional propaganda instead of news? |
