What about the millions of things we've done to these people? Would they have happened if we had not invaded? Did we create millions of militants in a relatively secular country because of our invasion?

 

Don't give me your bleeding heart BS. I'd rather have a bleeding heart than not heart at all. None of this s*** would be necessary if people like you didn't support war at all costs.

You cannot seriously propose that the violence or "bad things" is more prevelant now than when Saddam was there. That's just ignorant.

 

Should you need a reminder, notice that a whole generation of Iraqi men is pretty much missing as a result of the little war that Saddam started with Iran.

 

Or keep in mind the fact that 60-80 executions were carried out TWICE A WEEK IN ABU GRAIB when Saddam ruled the roost.

 

And the militants were always there. The only reason you recognize them now is because they can now come out and rebel. If Saddam is still there they all are still in hiding or dead, just like when he purged them in the early 1990's after the first war. Something very obvious that I totally forgot about is that we SUPPORTED Sadaam when he was doing these things. The US government provided him the weapons, go-ahead, and advisors to fight Iran and religious elements in his own populace. I'm not saying something radical and this is no conspiracy theory. These are the facts. So, again, what is your rationale for what is happening right now?

The US government provided him the weapons...

Most Iraqi stuff in current video and pics coming out looks to be Soviet or French origin as did most of the stuff from Gulf War v1.0 images.

 

Can you be more specific as to exactly what weapon systems you refer to or are you just regurgitating someone else's mantra? Let me know if you need anything else. That sight from GWU contains government documentation for the weapons transfer.
