OT - the US is a lousy world citizen

Do I really need to include the sarcasm tags there?

Yes! Because that worked so well for clinton! Sudan offered him up to
us, and he refused because "we don't have a case against him." Screw
that. he'd already bombed our embassys. Bring the bastard in.

Just like N. Korea and Iran would never cooperate?

the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

well, with all your wrongs, even you have hope of being right someday.

From the NYTimes, March 13, 2005
In the weeks after Baghdad fell in April 2003, looters systematically
dismantled and removed tons of machinery from Saddam Hussein's most
important weapons installations, including some with high-precision
equipment capable of making parts for nuclear arms, a senior Iraqi
official said this week in the government's first extensive comments on
the looting.

The Iraqi official, Sami al-Araji, the deputy minister of industry, said
it appeared that a highly organized operation had pinpointed specific
plants in search of valuable equipment, some of which could be used for
both military and civilian applications, and carted the machinery away.

Dr. Araji said his account was based largely on observations by
government employees and officials who either worked at the sites or
lived near them.
....
Dr. Araji's statements came just a week after a United Nations agency
disclosed that approximately 90 important sites in Iraq had been looted
or razed in that period.
....
Satellite imagery analyzed by two United Nations groups - the
International Atomic Energy Agency and the Monitoring, Verification and
Inspection Commission, or Unmovic - confirms that some of the sites
identified by Dr. Araji appear to be totally or partly stripped
....
Dr. Araji said equipment capable of making parts for missiles as well as
chemical, biological and nuclear arms was missing from 8 or 10 sites
that were the heart of Iraq's dormant program on unconventional weapons.
==================
So they were there apparently.

Right?

the minority religious sect has been ousted from dictatorial power in a
police state

many are ex army or ex police and want the Sadam style rule back with
all its corruption so they want to get their sleazy over priveleged life
style back



It took millions of men to control Germany from 1945
which Bush's advisrs conveniently forgot

Voting is today in Iraq and overseas centres for their expats
a full- term parliament that confirms their grip on power after decades
of oppression.

The Sunni minority is keen to prevent a government dominated by
religious Shiites and a break-up of Iraq into autonomous Kurdish and
Shiite zones.

lets hope it works out ok

.... And the looters went away with the missiles and the (atomic?) bombs...
LOL

I'm going to tell some secret agents' names laughing...

 

Sort of like the actual interview with one of the authors
of the Lancet article in question?
Please do try to keep up.
BTW, 200,000 > 100,000.

 

IOW You lost track of the subject matter and
discussion already.
Can't keep the winger lies straight?
Found those "WMDs" yet?

 

Do try to keep up with current events, even if they are years old.
Two winger lies do not truth make, no matter what Rush of Faux
say.

 

Buy clues.

 

The neocons broke the agreements with North Korea, just
like so many other international agreements, laws & treaties.
Nor is there any valid reason that the US should control
who can use nuclear power worldwide.

In point of fact, it could reduce greenhouse gasses, prolong
fossil fuel supplies and make a great market for goods
& services .... such as reactors, fuel, reprocessing, systems,
safety services, waste storage services, etc.

 

Nope. Rush lied to you.

Nope. Rush lied to you.

Nope. Rush lied to you.

Sort of like GI Insurance?

They kill a lot fewer than Israel, a declared terrorst State, does.
What do you suppose that they will do with those 5,000 "smart bombs"
that the neocons are giving them?
BTW, Who is the invader there?

 

Someone stole the manual Bridgeport?

A bit like China buying US plants & importing them as scrap?

What part of "dual use" was unclear?
The UN's inspectors and the US's had inspected ....
BTW, I used to work in Nuclear ... we had dual use cement
sidewalks .....

 

cliff you are an asshole!

 

ok, now I think you're just trolling.

-john

 

Gil, please learn to bottom-post.

I am now convinced that Cliff is nothing more than a Professional Troller.

That or an al-Qaida plant.

I'm even pretty sure that I found his website:
http://blamebush.typepad.com/blamebush/dubya_did_it/index.html

I go now.

-john

 

They indeed did. What did you think upset North Korea so?
For the neocons breaking agreements, laws & treaties seems
to be priority #1. Well , #2, just after lying.

Some clearly need to pay attention to the actual news and
current events, not just Faux 'n Rush.

HTH

 

Too much truth in one dose?

 

Nobody ever said that neocon sock puppets need to be very bright.
HTH
