I've met a man who fought for Germany in WW2 , and let me tell you not everyone who has to fight for evil people are evil. He was badass, and unfortunatly was forced to fight for the nazis.jonnyh84 wrote:How about sentencing to death the people who put him into power, gave him money, as well as military, economic, and political support throughout the most brutal period of his autocracy?

well thats my view on death penalty in general.cd\ Contro wrote:This guy is very dangerous Sab... he has a lot of supporters, even now. If we were to put him in a cell, there's always a chance that he could escape using aid from supporters, or perhaps even rescued. Death is the only sure way of eliminating him.
we did we help in the isreal war. we gave him our tanks and s**t. we even back him up with OUR military. kinda funny how we want him dead. when HE was one of OUR ALLIES!eXg.

Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush I, and other higher level officials in the US government. Might be worth mentioning that these same cats still run the show down there, as I'm sure you no doubt know. In any case, the initial pretext was that Iraq staved off Iran — which it attacked with U.S. backing — but the same support continued well after the war was over.eXg.

I think all of that is a bit of a stretch. I know there are a ton of "sources" that claim all this, but it has to be pure speculation. Believe me, I'm no Bush fan, but I still think he's capable of only so much. I'd go as far as saying that Bush may have turned a shoulder to certain events, but orchestrating them? Doubtful. He's our PRESIDENT! You're saying he supported Iraq in order to bring them to power, in order to bring their leader to death? All over oil (I'm assuming)? If it were over oil, why aren't we paying like $.50/gallon now? Prices are still ridiculously high compared to what they were say, during the Clinton administration. Show me some kind of reputable, FACTUAL source, and then we're going somewhere..jonnyh84 wrote:Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush I, and other higher level officials in the US government.

Now, those responsible for the policies of accommodation are bringing Saddam to the bar of justice.
Rumsfeld, as Ronald Reagan's special envoy to the Middle East, visited Iraq in 1983 and 1984 to establish firmer relations with Saddam (at the same time the administration was criticizing Iraq for using chemical weapons).
Powell was Bush I's national security adviser from December, 1987, to January, 1989, and a few months later became chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Cheney was Bush I's defence secretary.
Thus, Powell and Cheney were in top decision-making positions for the period of Saddam's worst atrocities, the massacre and gassing of the Kurds in 1988 and the crushing of the Shiite rebellion in 1991 that probably would have overthrown him.
Today, under Bush II, Powell, Cheney and others constantly bring up those atrocities to justify beating the devil — rightly, though the crucial element of U.S. support of Saddam during this period is missing.
Several things to say. Since you apparently have no mechanism for functional logic, or reading comprehension.I think all of that is a bit of a stretch.
