Wow, some people sure know how to twist things around.
The fact remains GW BUSH invited terrorists into Iraq.
So you are admitting that the terrorist existed before the Invasion of Iraq, and that the invasion had nothing to do with their existence?
People in Baghdad were not getting blown up in vegetable markets by suicide bombers prior to the occupation of Iraq.
No they were being executed in Abu Ghiab prison or being raped, shot or fed through chippers while alive.
Taliban members were not blowing themselves up in markets in Afghanistan prior to the current United States/Canada occupation of that country
.
The Taliban swept through a disorganized resistance to take most of the country, where they brutalized everyone, executed many, denied woman of any human right, increased the infant mortality rate tremendously, attempted to destroy the historical and cultural mosaic of the country and remake it into a hardcore fundamentalist Islamic state (Where people like yourself would have been hung on a telephone pole I might add)
And to somehow try to compare Saddam using U.S. supplied chemical weapons on civilians to suicide bomber4s is being not too bright
Both the chemical and biological agents imported were dual use items, and in fairly small quantities. They were used to kickstart their own homegrown WMD programs. You really should read the UNSC reports.
Well yes we all have knowledge of American bombs being dropped on innocent civilians.
And no, it doesnt sound good
Considering the opposing side happily uses human shields, no uniforms, hospitals, mosques and schools as operating points and firing positions, one would expect the toll to be higher. The US is not carpet bombing Iraq like it did Germany in WWII, anyone who says they are going to war and no civilians won’t get hurt is lying. The difference is that the US really does not want to hurt civilians, as opposed to the AQ that uses terror on the local population as a matter of policy
Even GW himself admits that saying that was one of the biggest mistakes he made during his first term.
I will agree that GWB did a terrible job selling the real need to deal with Saddam, but overthrowing a dictator bent on murdering his own people just does not sell in this world, look at Rwanda, Dafur, the average Western Liberal has not lifted a finger and were not willing to risk anything to save those people.
I guess he doesnt consider all the lies he told about Iraq and WMD which has created a disaster not likely to be fixed in a long time, and the death of 4000 American soldiers because of those lies, a mistake
You mean Iraq is a bigger disaster than a 10 year brutal war with Iraq, an Invasion of a another country that could not pose a threat to Iraq, the brutal suppression of the Kurds and Shiites, the environmental disaster Saddam caused by draining the Salt marshes or the 1,000 year+ impact of destroying the Kuwaiti oilfields? (Both of these environmental impacts which happened to be addressed only thanks to US intervention I might add)
