Some quick history:1920 - "Hundreds of British soldiers and many more Iraqis died when the British Army suppressed a revolt against British rule. Britain ended up installing a hand-picked "King of Iraq". The new monarch promtly signed a deal with British and American oil companies giving them the right to exploit all of Iraq's oil for 75 years in exchange for a pittance in royalties."1958 - "King of Iraq was overthrown and Abdel Karim Qasim takes over." He stopped allowing the west to have their way with Iraqi oil and so..1963 - "The CIA collaborated with the Baath Party to kill Qasim and overthrow the government. One of those collaborators was Saddam who became the new leader."1980 - "US officials were delighted when Saddam decided to invade Iran. After the 1979 Iranian Revolution," (Iranians overthrew the American controlled government) "American strategists considered Iran the main threat to US interests in the Middle East." Therefore the US was happy to provide Saddam with advanced weaponry. They "sold Iraq materials to make chemical and biological weapons, including highly lethal strains of anthrax."<a class="user" href="http://tinyrevolution.com/mt-static/images/rumsfeld2.jpg">http://tinyrevolution.com/mt-static/images/rumsfeld2.jpg</a>"Iraq used chemical weapons against both Iranian troops and insurgent Kurdish villagers inside Iraq. The Reagan Administration knew this, but the U.S. continued to supply Saddam not only with the necessary chemicals, but also with satellite photos of Iranian troops. Over 100,000 Iranian soldiers were killed or injured by poison gas."1987 - "The Reagan administration intervened directly in the Iran-Iraq War (on Iraq's side), sending a naval armada to the Persian Gulf to protect the oil tankers of a country that was then Iraq's ally - Kuwait. Using state-of-the-art weaponry, the U.S. Navy blew up an Iranian oil platform, destroyed several small speedboats, and recklessly shot down an airliner, killing all 290 passengers.""Despite U.S. support, Saddam failed to seize any of Iran's oilfields, so he then turned his attention to the oilfields of his southern neighbor, Kuwait. Hussein apparently expected that the U.S. would also tacitly go along with his invasion of Kuwait. For the U.S., However, Kuwait was very different from Iran. The Kuwait emir was a loyal friend of the U.S. and British oil companies and a close political ally of the US. George H.W. Bush worried that the huge Iraqi army had become a threat to U.S. domination of the Middle East."George H.W. Bush - "Our jobs, our way of life, our own freedom, and the freedom of friendly countries around the world would all suffer if control of the world's great oil reserves fell into the hands of Saddam Hussein"Henry Kissinger - "Oil is much too important a commodity to be left in the hands of the Arabs"For more info on the Iranian revolution and many other evil US government plots, check out the following PBS documentary "The Secret Government":(It's actually a 22 minute snippet of it)<a class="user" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8536707153900925247">http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8536707153900925247</a>
Just a quick thought. If those who truly believe that America is evil, corrupt, and a disgrace would leave America, refuse the financial aid offered by America, and get a real job, perhaps their World would improve. They don't, they won't, and their whinning just goes to show how ineffective they are as a whole. George W. Bush might be wrong on Iraq, but the same people suffering from BDS were more than happy to ignore Cigarman when he used the power of the White House to drag down the women whom he preyed upon. Bush takes on a dictator. Clinton attacks innocent women. Of course the liberals much preferred Clinton as they do not really give a tinkers damn about other people. All they care about is having someone in office that kisses their ASSetts. God Bless Bush, and to hell with the rest.
100% true. I just read 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' by John Perkins...on the money. I was a witness to huge banking fraud. And then, i was dragged away..... After 20 years as an ordinary legal tax payer in the USA,I was arrested, held in Immigration jail for four months, then dumped at Heathrow airport, after being forced to sign a document that stated I cannot return to my house in Chicago for twenty years...my crime? I sued immigration to try to get an answer to my greencard situation. My husband and house are still in Chicago. www.josieg6.wordpress.com for the whole details. I saw and experienced torture while stuck in Immigration jail. And remember, I was a secretary, on her way to work, I have never had a parking ticket, cast a vote or been inside a mosque (or a church, for that matter.) so, it could happen to you. They make mistakes. there were american born citizens stuck in Immigration jail with me in McHenry County, IL. You will never hear about them.Obama has done nothing, and wont do anything. I have contacted everyone in the Britisha nd American Govts, and was in touch with my senator Dick Durbin every sixty days for SEVEN YEARS and no one has ever tried to help me with this. Please dont kid yourself that you have any civil rights. Please email my Brtish Govt, eaglem@parliament.uk to get me sent back to the USA where I paid all of my taxes and contributions to society., where |I have my home and my friends. The Nazis aare alive and well in the Immigration lunatic police masquerading as #Homeland Security' which will take away any civil rights we thought we had in America. (keeping you,and I thought me, safe from 'terror' ?)

Companies in the U.S. were selling weapons to Saddam immediately before the first U.S. government invasion of Iraq. Joke: How did people in the Bush administration know that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction? They looked at their weapons contracts.I hope other people will make their own summaries of U.S. government corruption:<a class="user" href="http://futurepower.org/Bush_Comedy_and_Tragedy.html">http://futurepower.org/Bush_Comedy_and_Tragedy.html</a>
