One reason we went into Iraq was to protect Iraq's neighboring countries

[Toots]

that were in imminent danger of being attacked by Iraq. Which one of these neighbors is actively helping the US with troops on the ground? Bush* said during his last campaign that he would be holding an Arab summit and enlist the aid of the Arab nations. When did this occur and how has it been going since the summit?

1. Not Reason.. an 'Excuse' from a pathetic Wet Brain Alcoholic Drug Addict

I wonder how his trip to Fort Fragg in Texas is going... ??

2. No

No, Bushco did not go into Iraq to protect neighboring countries from attack by SH. They knew that SH was virtually a toothless tiger pretending to have a little roar power left by trying to make his neighbors, particularly Iran, think he still had some threat power left.

Bush-neocons went into Iraq in order to protect their oil supplies and to derive profits from contracts there, though the real pretend reason was to keep the ME balanced in favor of Israel, in truly byzantine cold-war non-thinking.

3. well they are actively in danger of being attacked from iraq now.

and the current govt in charge has the most dangerous weapons in the world and has waged aggressive war in 3 countries and tried to overthrow the elected govt of a 4th in the 5 years they have been in power.

4. the american people said no to war to protect the neighboring

countries. only to protect ours. and we didnt feel wmd's was a good enough reason either. that is why they escalated it to tubes, drones and mushroom cloud

slowling conditioning us to a mind think

5. It happened between the ears of the great one.... imagine had

Russia attacked Iraq.... we'd be in Moscow by now and that's a fact.


Politicians who lie to congress and the american public need to be in chains.

6. Israel is a neighboring country. Israel wanted Iraq invaded and they

are now pressuring congress to go into Iran.

7. And how many troops do they have in Iraq?

:shrug: How many does Turkey have or Syria or Iran or Kuwait or
Saudi Arabia? Are there any other countries that border Iraq? If so how many troops do they have in Iraq helping to protect their country from imminent attack?

8. In contrary, most of them were quite happy with Saddam in power.

A destabilized neighboring country is never good news, but one as ethnically and religiously divided -and also mixed with minorities in their own countries- as Iraq is always better with centralized power in place.

Not that that was a good thing for the people of Iraq. I'm sure Kurds would appreciate some help.

9. Kuwait had a better military than Iraq... Iran wasnt scared

Who was he protecting?

Iran is now scared of US attack on Iran from Iraq with Iraqi-puppet troops under US control..
