Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
What about the WMDs? That's what all the warmongers said this war was about - we couldn't wait for the inspectors because Saddam had hundreds of labs ready to give us all Anthrax or whatever. Now I am reading long diatribes about saving Iraqis from dictators and WMD being incidental. Where is the integrity?
I for one don't want to pay taxes to "liberate" anyone from his or her life. What about African countries there are lots of WORSE dictators their - I don't see anyone clamoring to invade Nigeria for instance. What happened to giving the Afghanis a better life? It looks like the Taliban are back. This is hypocrisy at its most blatant!!
Dare I say this war was about Oil after all. I just found out that Saddam had shut out U.S. and British oil companies from Iraqi oil contracts - kind of coincidental that these are the two countries that invaded.
