again, you dig an even deeper hole

so USForces killed 100,000
but Saddam killed perhaps 500,000
then the USA is a distant second in war crimes

"They tried foolishly to fight a clearly superior force. If they were forced to stay, that is sad but not our fault."

THEY is an overly simplistic term to apply to an enemy force
if the majority wanted to surrender, then how hard did we make it for them to do so?

history will tell many stories
an official version will sit next to the story told about BinLaden
and the one told about Billy Mitchell and Pearl Harbor
and the one told about VietNam
and the one told about the Great Depression

in 10 years you can always find a version of history that will serve your point of view

USForces killed largely unarmed ragtag military, coerced to serve under a dictator, shot for attempting desertion, and whose families also were threatened

congratulations, Tim
your USArmy emerged victorious over a helpless enemy
chalk it up to annals in West Point

still unsure how Saddam threatened our US security
any connections found with AlQaeda?
or do you believe the flimsy falsified documents provided by Powell to the UN?
this argument is pointless

wave that flag, Tim
keep waving it until the next wave of retaliatory terrorist attacks that this action will certainly spawn

it is about oil
oil fields were protected right away
not foreign journalists
not museums of antiquity
not public property
not private property
congratulations

wait until you hear of the reconstruction trust funds
let's see if Switzerland hands over the $5-10 billion in Saddam Blood Money
the Caribbean Banks turned over $1.5 billion

I label your comments and arguments, not you
not yet
"kneejerker" was just a warmup
