Bite me!
The US, is not only an accomplice, but has directly and repeatedly committed atrocities.
The claim that you “applauded” while Saddam was committing genocide is nothing new. The NY Times front page from August 18, 2002 read “Officers Say US Aided Iraq in War Despite Use of Gas”. But you wouldn’t know, being under a rock and all…
One word: Proxy.
You can’t possibly quote W and be taken seriously.
[quote]Now you are quoting the Israeli’s!?!
Seriously, cut it out. I can’t believe you have the gall. So, in essence, you believe the Israeli’s ONLY when they toe your line? You vehemently refute their assessment of hamas’ intentions, iranian ties, etc… Pretty sick if you give it more than 1 second of thought.[/quote]
What’s wrong with quoting Israelis? They were at war with iraq for as long as their state existed. They were at risk if the WMDs were real. However, some of them had the good judgement to see that it’ll only make the M.E. even more volatile a place than it already is.
And when did I ever “vehemently refute their assessment of Hamas”?
Saddam was a thug, but he couldn’t dream of getting into the same league as your government. His horrors ended with him; Yours are instutionalized. Lucky for them, the public is too busy/lazy/nonchalant/dumb to notice.
