    Yeah,.. better for Saddam to dip his ugly greedy fingers into the wells, and then start a genocidal regional war every 10 years or so..

    Roughly 1980-88 for the Iraq/Iraq war.



    1991 was the invasion of Kuwait, which had been engaging in slant drilling under the Iraqi border. Hardly a genocidal war.



    Where's your one every ten years?



    Oh well. I guess you've had enough of this silly banter about "facts"

    Yeah, the victim of the US's cluster bombs were certainly thankful the were not killed by gas. Slowly bleeding to death is so much more comfortable.



    5000 Kurds gassed by Saddam, 4000 Iraqis killed by George. What a difference indeed.

    Tell you what-- let's ask the dead and maimed. I'm sure they have strong feelings about slogans applied to their various slaughters.



    I'm not joking-- get your bloodthirsty ass to Iraq and look a widow or a legless child in the face and run your shit. Tell 'em about how if they can't get behind their own liberation then they should fück off. Tell 'em how if we hadn't blown 'em up Saddam would have tortured them so they should be grateful. Have you ever even seen a gravely injured child?



    You're quite the bold military adventurest from the safety of your keyboard. Very happy to play God with other peoples lives. In real life, we call that being "a contemptible asshole".
