It DOES NOT say invade.
I asked you three questions.
Answer them.
It DOES NOT say invade.
You just contradicted yourself. Liberals do, indeed, criticize the veil if a woman if forced to wear it. If she chooses to do so of her own volition, they do not.
You should try thinking things through before posting this [clown tricycle honk] nonsense.
Your anti-Liberal screed in the OP is a boatload of horse crap.
I watched Bill Maher and Sam Harris criticizing the whole idea of the veil or Hijab. Sam Harris called Islam is the motherload of bad ideas. Both are Liberals and presenting themselves in this image. How does that come along with your comment about my [clown tricycle honk] nonsense?
I asked you three questions.
Answer them.
I was accused being anti-liberal, anti-conservative...you name it
I got used for these kinds of accusations
Asked and answered. It did NOT mean invade.
No, you didn't. It gave him the response he needed to invade, since Glaspie explicitly stated the US didn't have an opinion.
Man, you guys, literally think western cultures can do no wrong.
Sickening.
Yes, I did.
No "green light" was given for invasion. That is revisionist BS.
Your desire to excuse a murderous dictator is noted.
Explain how I am "excusing" a murderous dictator?
By claiming he had a green light when no green light existed.
Glaspie explicilty stated the us had no opinion on it.
You are incapable of free thought. We are done here.
Perhaps you should learn from them.
It doesn't support your claim.
You're welcome!
To learn from whom exactly? The accusers do you mean
No, it did. My comment was very clear.
No, it did. My comment was very clear.
Iraq was a sovereign country and United Nation member. A coalition led by the U.S and Britain invaded the country after years of sanctions. The consequences of the American invasion: Over one million Iraqi children died between 1991-2003 from malnutrition and disease, a minimum of 100 thousand Iraqi civilians killed, infrastructure destroyed, Weapon of mass destruction used with long term future consequences on the environment and the health of Iraqis, infant mortality rose sharply and the list could go on. Madeleine Albright answered with a cold face in one of her interviews that the death of 500 thousand Iraqi kids is worth it. The son like the father, how you could kill over 100 thousand Iraqi civilians and not called a war criminal.
What happened to Iraq over the phony claim of weapons of mass destruction was a tragedy. However, no American or British officials stand a trail on any related charges. But Iraq wasn't the first or the last country in the Middle East by the arrogance of Western ignorance. I stand in distaste for liberals that are busy defending liberal principles like freedom of speech, Quality life for woman and rights for minorities including homosexuals; meanwhile, voiceless on the crimes committed by their governments all over the world. Liberals are ready to defend Iraqi gays and lesbians rights but won't condemn the crimes committed in Iraq by Western coalition toppled the regime there.
To be a Liberal is to accept the others and to love for others what you love to yourself. As an example, Liberals criticize the veil of a Muslim woman's because they are forced to wear it. The preconceived idea that Liberal had about Islam and woman rights is wrong. If a woman according to Liberal principles is free to choose her dressing code, why criticize a Muslim woman chose to wear a Veil or Hijab or spend a day on the beach wearing Burkini? Liberal need to start criticizing their own principles before they do criticize others.
End
At the time I supported the invasion of Iraq. I now think it was a mistake.
Clear as mud.
Blaming the US for Saddam's acts is ignorant.
U.S, Britain and France sold Sadam Chemical weapons and other weapons technology. Also, they helped him by providing satellite pics for Iranian forces movement.
Yes the accusers.
Why you don't tell me what did you learn from them?
Incorrect.
Please fail again.
Show where CHEMICAL weapons went from the US to Iraq.
So, we now have the claim the White Helmets are packing up and trucking this poor girl around from event to event. And always in the exact same shirt. And in the exact same pants. And the same hair. And the same unshod feet. The same dust even....
stan1990, where and when were the different locations/events?
