Lord of the Lies

maybe time will bring change?

Wait, wasn't there nearly 20 UN resolutions that Saddam openly & arrogantly defied? Didn't he kick inspectors out and not let them have the access that was agreed on? Didn't he have many, many chances to avoid an invasion? And after all that, wasn't he then finally offered an 11th hour chance to give up power & leave the country?

Since it's proven that Saddam had indeed disarmed, how many of those UN resolutions did he actually violate?

Granted, he didn't place a front page article in the Baghdad Times saying "Hey Look! We Don't Have Any Weapons Anymore!!!" but you can't really blame the guy for that. A secular dictator in a neighborhood full of religious fundamentalists, and his own artificially constructed country made up of three factions (Sunni, Shia, and Kurd) who really don't like each other.

And Israel was already threatening Iraq just as they are Iran now.

Saddam couldn't come out and brag about disarmament with that sort of pressure from both inside and outside Iraq.

If you live in a bad neighborhood, wouldn't you want the local gang bangers to believe you were fully prepared to blow their fucking heads off if they invaded your house, whether or not you actually owned any guns?

So Satan defends the residents of Hell, eh?

And you are perfectly ok with the UN dictating to you what you should or should not do? Saddam cooperated and tolerated more than a head of state had to and Blix said there were no wmd and everyone with a functioning brain cell knew that at the outset. How the hell can anyone tell him to give up power apart from the Iraqi people. But then where would the world be without double standards to keep your foes in check?

In the next attack, Obama might deliberate a couple years until he decides what to do. It would please me if his security detail just spared the whole country right now and took him and his cabinet out now.

You been vandalizing the neighborhoods recently, GAR?

How many has Israel defied? When do we give a fuck about the UN in any other case?
