Yes, nations being bought with contracts and promises from a tyrant. Why don't you stop these obnoxious claims? I posted a link to a 2002 Human Rights report of the German government condemning Iraq's policies #reply-18686477 Why don't you give me a link on your favorite topic, the "oil contracts" of Iraq-Germany? How much oil did or does Germany import from Iraq? I have given links here on this thread nearly years ago proving that OPEC dependency of Germany has declined drastically #reply-17436220 But people like you seem to be incapable of digesting and acknowledging facts contradicting your belief system.

<The Iraqi Liberation and Reconstruction Club...> Here's the founding and most illustrious member of your club: "I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas… I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes…(Chemical weapons are only) the application of Western science to modern warfare." - Winston Churchill, on the air campaign using chemical weapons against Iraqis in the 1920s Your Club is bait-and-switch false advertising. The Club (after WW1, and again today) has established a military dictatorship, and has presided over the thorough DeConstrucion of the entire Iraqi infrastructure. After WW1, the British in Iraq, set up a "kingdom" with a "king" and a "government", with a "flag", and so on. All the superficial attributes of sovereignty. But it fooled no one, just as our "Governing" Council fools only those who have decided ahead of time to be fooled. The Loyally Credulous. The Conquer and Looting Club would be more accurate. "If war aims are stated which seem to be solely concerned with Anglo-American imperialism, they will offer little to people in the rest of the world. The interests of other peoples should be stressed. This would have a better propaganda effect." - Private memo from The Council of Foreign Relations to the US State Department, 1941 "It's really not a number I'm terribly interested in." -General Colin Powell [When asked about the number of Iraqi people who were killed by Americans in the 1991 Desert Storm
