Better Off Without Saddam--no no no

[swinney]

1. 10,000 civilians dead--each death creates 20 mourners.
20 X 10,000 = 200,000 who want revenge and will hate us for lifetimes

2. 7,000 poorly armed soldiers died-7,000 X 20=140,00 who want to kill us.

3. Almost 600 Americans dead--600 X 20 = 12,000 broken hearts for life

4. 2772 wounded americans--2772 X 20 = 54,400 hearts aching.

5. Many will hurt for life and receive disability for 40 plus years.

6.166 Billion spent. How much more? Recall how same people fought like tigers to keep Clinton from getting 5 Billion for schools?
These are Christians? Call me Pope Clarence.

Simple question for Rumsfeld.

A. Saddam was target
B. Saddam in Baghdad.
C.Why bomb cities all over Iraq and kill thousands of innocents?
D. Why not surround Baghdad and flush out the tired old man ?
E. Why did you brag about your Shock and Awe campaign on innocent people?
F. Saddam was a threat to only--only--only his political opponents.
G. Bush opponents are threatened and lose jobs.

No No No Iraq is not better off--too many aching hearts for a lifetime of grief.

No No No America is not safer. Our freedoms are endangered by Bush Conquistadors

No No No the world is not safer.

Terrorists are multiplying.

Bush took a stick to a wasp nest and released the wasps to build more nests, breed more wasps and sting more people.

Yes. Ten years from now Bush will boast of a better, free,more economically successful Iraq but he will not see the broken hearts there, in America and all over the world.

Come back daddy, please comeback. Kids will cry. Widows Will cry.

1. saddam also kept the religious nuts at bay

and kept iraq unified and secular. he did it at a price in terms of brutality, but all is shades of gray in that region.

now we have chaos, violence, religious fanaticism, political factions, and so on. all the things the bushies thrive on....

2. Bush took a stick to a wasp nest and released the wasps

Yup, Bush and his buddies are in the bug spray business.... and business will be booming for a long, long time.

3. better

tyranny than anarchy

4. For whom?

Are you a hit-and-run or are you willing to say more?

7. There is no anarchy in Iraq.

Iraqis were "freed" from one tyrant only to be governed by another.

5. This war is well within Bush's budget.

And if the cost is too high for everyone else, well, that's not important. The Iraq invasion has more dangerously destabilized the world than at any time in recorded history.

George Bush has sown the wind but we are the ones who will reap the whirlwind.

6. I really can't figure out their inconsistency

They say the world is safer without Sadam (and get real nasty with anyone who suggests otherwise)

Then on the other hand.....

They tell us we WON'T be any safer if they catch Osama! I just don't get it!

8. A few changes to your statistics.

1. Number of dead civilians: 30,000 to 40,000. And that was at the end of the main hostilities. This was done by a group that went door-to-door through Iraq to get the names of the dead.

3&4 - the number dead looks like around 1,200 and 10,00-14,000 wounded. The wounded is from the New York Times. The death figure includes the dead from the wounded that were taken out of Iraq. They are not counted in the official government list.

So many lies. This is making the Vietnam War look good.

Another thing they are doing here that they did in Vietnam: killing people that don't agree with them. Apparently we killed 4 million civilians to get them on our side. You can imagine what is going on in Iraq.
