No. By internatinonal law they are not legal. Hell, if you are gonna try to do this "its obabma faults thing", well the vast majority of our airstrikes havent been legall by UN standards for 30year times...
 
Failed State, as some presumed criticism of president Assad! Western powers along with a little help from a few Arab states have supported all manner of AQ, MB, Al Nusra infested Syrian opposition fighters who have seriously weakened president Assad, and then he's to be blamed for the rise of the Islamic State. :doh

Blame Assad for IS? Don't be silly. He might be a nasty mass murderer that shouldn't have started a civil war to save his job. But he only created the environment in which organizations like IS thrive. He never supported them to my knowledge.
 
We were trading oil with Iraq for 6 years prior to 2003. :shrug:

Profiteers have existed since war existed. Nothing we can do will change that.

That's good.

But why does it spike so drastically around then?

What about the worlds elite all colluding is good?

He certainly did not support them hey were fighting him! They were the rebels!! Vice documents this pretty well...

And america did more than anybody by far to make a breeding grounds for em...

I don't know why it spikes then but it would be interesting to find out all the companies who apparently shipped the oil - especially since most of the oil fields in the South were in flames for months in 2003 and were being repaired most of that year.

Theirs other oil fields their, I'm sure Saddam had decent sized reserves for us to loot, and yea it would be interesting to know who was shipping it...

I bet haliburton subsidiary's could be one... They upped their stock by 500% with Iraq...

I found this interesting (although sorta unrelated) Iraq is suing a Greek company for shipping oil outtakes their Kurdish region the Greek company would be a good bet... Honestly its probably hard to find nowadays but IMA look...

I see you misunderstood me. I wasn't accusing president Assad of supporting the Islamic State. I was ridiculing Obama having made the claim. President Assad is another that used containment when it came to terrorists. It's due to intervention from a couple of Arab States and the US that has strengthened terrorists in Syria and weakened Assad.

You could say that, if you wanted to distort the thing. Had Assad not begun to shoot at demonstrators, there would have been no civil war and no disintegration of statehood.

They burnt the BAATH party headquarters and the courthouse, and what were the four student protesters at Kent State shot for?

You're right. Kent State demonstrates the difference between democracy and dectatorship quite well.

Dead is dead, whether it be four or a quarter of a million. And you see no difference. Why doesn't that surprise me?
