:rolleyes: |
haha no!!!! as you could see, once hitler was ousted, there was a relative level of normalcy brought back to the country.... the ethnic cleansing and murders he brought into the country was far from keeping Germany in order.... you guys really need to go to school or read books, your views on things are quite frightening ("lol-ing" at the fact that "Iraqis should have moved if they knew American forces were going in, oh yeah, you want to bring Germany into it? the manic Nazi-supporting Germans were probably saying the same thing about the Jews... "they knew the Nazis were going to get them, why didn't they just move)... you fools |

you don't think that bush 43 let saddam's feud with bush 41 affect his personal actions during his presidency?
in the name of the united states of america, he defended his father's honor by diverting troops from where we needed it most (afghanistan) to a place where terrorism was not a hotbed until saddam was forcibly removed. the war was predicated on false information and done to satisfy a personal vendetta. seriously, it's helping personal interests. |

Both sides have lobbyists and money getting thrown around.
Concerns have been raised regarding the possible conflict of interest resulting from Cheney's deferred compensation and stock options from Halliburton. However, before entering office in 2001, Cheney bought an insurance policy that guaranteed a fixed amount of deferred payments from Halliburton each year for five years so that the payments would not depend on the company's fortunes.[4] He is legally bound by an agreement he signed which turns over power of attorney to a trust administrator to sell the options at some future time and to give the after-tax profits to three charities. The agreement specifies that 40% will go to the University of Wyoming (in Cheney's home state), 40% will go to George Washington University's medical faculty to be used for tax-exempt charitable purposes, and 20% will go to Capital Partners for Education. The agreement states that it is "irrevocable and may not be terminated, waived or amended," preventing Cheney from taking back the options at a later date. |

If you read back, youll see that I dont agree with the way the war is being dealt with. |
