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 / jim
