I don't recall any weapons sales to Iraq. You didn't see any M-60 tanks or Bradley's sizzling in the desert during Desert Storm. The same goes with their airforce. They were mostly MIGs and Mirages.

Shaking Hands with Saddam Hussein

A 1995 affidavit by former National Security Agency official Howard Teicher, obtained by the Post, claimed that the U.S. "actively supported the Iraqi war effort by supplying the Iraqis with billions of dollars of credits, by providing military intelligence and advice to the Iraqis, and by closely monitoring third country arms sales to Iraq to make sure Iraq had the military weaponry required."

Teicher claimed that the CIA supplied Iraq with cluster bombs through a Chilean company. However, German and UK firms sold more weapons to Iraq than U.S. arms companies, the Post reports.

Congressional investigations after the Gulf War revealed that the Commerce Department had licensed sales of biological agents, including anthrax, and insecticides, which could be used in chemical weapons, to Iraq.

When Iraq used chemical weapons against the Kurds in 1987, there was anger in Congress and the White House. But a memo in 1988 from Assistant Secretary of State Richard W. Murphy stated that "The U.S.-Iraqi relationship is … important to our long-term political and economic objectives."

and thanks for proving, not that you needed to, that you're completely feeble minded. Obviously you were shot in the head when you were in the american forces.

Did someone "claim" that through a third party as well?

Canada keeps Bush out, U.S. protests grow
Torture, war crimes catching up with Bush and Cheney


The movement to hold Bush and Co. accountable for torture and war crimes is gaining steam.

A Canadian Member of Parliament has declared that U.S. vice president Dick Cheney should be barred from entering the country.
Last week, Bush was forced to cancel a fundraising appearance in Toronto, Canada at Tyndale University College and Seminary, an evangelical Christian school. Students and faculty members protested and petitioned to keep him away from their school. Their petition said: “We believe that no amount of new money can justify profiting from a former figurehead whose policies led to the murder of thousands of innocent civilians.”

Bush assumed he would be welcomed by this university, but he wasn’t. Instead, they kept him out of Canada.

Days later, dozens of people, led by former FBI special agent turned activist Coleen Rowley, met George Bush at a Minnesota fundraiser with banners, signs reading “Wanted for torture” and loud chants of “Arrest George Bush!” and “Shame!”

In an article about the protest, Rowley posed the question, “When will Bush be ‘Pinocheted?’” She also asked: “Is it proper to honor this war criminal who launched pre-emptive, unjustified wars of aggression and ‘shock and awe’ that led to hundreds of thousands of people killed, mostly civilian ‘collateral damage’ and widespread destruction in the Middle East?”

Because of this broad-based and growing movement for accountability and justice, Bush’s world is getting smaller. He is canceling more and more events and is being dogged by passionate protests wherever he goes.

The same is true for Dick Cheney.

Following protests in Orange County, New York and Chicago, Cheney was met by another demonstration in the most improbable of places, conservative Simi Valley, Calif. at a book signing in the Ronald Reagan Library. Cheney thought he would evade protest here, but he couldn’t. The movement against torture was on to him. Dozens of protesters outside the venue denounced Cheney’s complicity in torture and demanded indictment for his crimes.

This is unprecedented. Former top U.S. officials are unable to travel in their own country without being challenged by our movement.

Nice to see that some folks are concerned about the illegalities that bush Inc. committed and thought they got away with.
........the circle is closing in. Slowly, ......but surely. And the other good news.....america is coming out of its stupor.
More folks are refusing to buy into the "official stories " of many critical events that shook the nation.

So you don't believe in jurisprudence!

That's uncivilized.

You're worse than those you rail against.

That's funny!

Right because we all know liberal whackos don't have cars.

In My Times (Dick Cheney) #3 on the NY Times Best Seller list Breezy!

FAIL

Wow, the left wing hate groups are getting pretty desperate to start releasing stuff like this!

So you don't believe in jurisprudence!

Hate Groups, that's what they are. :)

So, you have an obvious reading or comprehension issue. Interesting.


Nope, none at all. I agree with OB, it's about time that more people recognize the "illegality's" that those 2 are responsible for. Hopefully they will be arrested, charged, found guilty, and rot in prison. Maybe then more thought will be put into "going to war" in the future.

Ah, so you've already convicted them too.

Good to see you believe in your own version of jurisprudence as well.

You and OB, make a cute couple. Hope Jen don't mind.

If you are calling for the arrest of Bush and Cheney when you've personally witnessed what they've allegedly done would be a sign of believing in jurisprudence. Anything short of that would put you on shaky ground. (especially if you come up against the lawyers those guys can afford) :lol::lol::lol:

Not necessarily.

Is there evidence they acted contrary to the law?

Yes.

Have thousands, if not millions suffered for their actions?

Possibly.

Can it be said in all certainty as OB and now Gh, have stated?

No.

Just as it was illegal, and erroneous to bar Galloway, based on his alleged support of terror regimes. It should be the same for Chaney.

But only if you actually believe in jurisprudence, and not only for those you like.

What Gh has failed to grasp here is, OB has a double standard when it comes to jurisprudence. Now, I didn't think Gh did, but he keeps telling me he does, because he agrees with OB.

I'm not convinced that agreeing with that guy would enhance your credibility and might not look good on the resume. :lol::lol:

it wasn't "illegal" to bar Galloway for anything. He was/is not a Canadian citizen, we can bar him or anyone else for any reason we want.

I'm not convinced that agreeing with that guy would enhance your credibility and might not look good on the resume. :lol::lol:

I really don't give a fu ck what you're convinced of.
