Remember before the invasion of Kuwait, Saddam was our bully boy in the ME (yes, “our”, I am an American citizen, so your silly comment about “ill-gotten blood-money they received from Saddam” is completely correct).
2) I have seen the target lists and bombing results. In person, in country. We released large amounts of toxic material into the atmosphere during Gulf War I. Read the reports and the VA results and investigations concerning our own poisoned soldiers.
3) They allowed weapons inspectors in for a long time. Most of our allies were satisfied that the inspections were accurate. That is why they did not support the war. And so far all of their pre-war warnings turned out to be true (no terrorist connection to speak of, no WMD’s, the Sunni/Shiite violence, the decrease in stability, etc.)
4) Interesting stories, but if you are still holding out for Bush’s lie to become truth, don’t hold your breath. The reality was we had Saddam bottled up with no fly zones over the majority of Iraq. Saddam was not religious, and we attacked the only secular country in the ME and destabilized it for years to come. Brilliant!
5) I am smug. I did not vote for Bush. And I was wise enough to have a backup plan if the nincompoop was elected. I voted again with my feet and moved my money and domicile to a country where religious “voices in their head” types are not put into power. It turned out my analysis of the situation was correct and I did profit handsomely from my actions. Did you? And I do enjoy seeing your sorry asses having to now pay for Bush’s fiasco. And your children will pay too.

Viva la France!

1. Walmart sells stuff that could be made into WMD. That is not the same as selling WMD....so you have done nothing to show that your earlier post was not untrue.
2. Target lists and bombing results are top secret..forgive me if I don't believe that you have seen them. I have...of course, that was/is my business. As a rule, we do not bomb WMD sites.
3. Wepon Inspectors were not allowed to inspect anything except that which Saddam's regime allowed. This was well documented. that is why the UN and the US Congress supported action against Iraq. I have first hand knowledge. One of my employees (military) was an inspector...What is your source? Move-on.org?
4. Iraq was a brutal dictatorship and is now a fledgling democracy. Sounds like an improvement to me. Tough for you sissy french boys though.
5. Enjoy your life in France. If you were from the U.S....don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out...and please don't come back. Hopefully anyone else like you will follow. Lucky for you, ignorance is bliss. Keep your white flag ready...and hope real men will keep protecting you. As George Orwell put so brilliantly: "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
