Remember when Rummy met with Saddam? Look at what they were doing

I watched a special on FSTV last nite about the truth of the Iraq war.
One woman was saying how US corporations are infiltrating Iraq, taking over. On the way to researching that, I stumbled across this. The US helped to make Iraq the country that * and co just had to invade.

This is the definition of hypocrisy:

Made in the USA, Part III: The Dishonor Roll
America’s corporate merchants of death in Iraq

Throughout the 1980s, the U.S. Commerce Department approved at least $1.5 billion in exports with possible military applications from U.S. companies to Iraq, and the Agriculture Department administered a U.S.-goverment-guaranteed loan program that provided billions to Iraq. Thanks largely to the first George Bush, American taxpayers unwittingly co-signed for much of the loan money, and the government had to make good on these loans when Iraq later defaulted. Almost all of the transactions were legal under U.S. and international law at the time, even when the transactions either had direct military or dual-use (civilian and military) applications. Over and over again, the deals were encouraged and even abetted by the U.S. government, even after American officials had proof that Iraq was using chemical weapons to kill Iranian troops and subdue Kurdish uprisings. In fact, the Reagan administration and the first Bush administration even provided Hussein’s regime with military intelligence during his bloody eight-year war with Iran.

This is all followed by a list of NUMEROUS US corporations that helped
Iraq...even sold Iraq the necessary items to make WMDS.:evilfrown: :evilfrown:

"Iraq was using chemical weapons to kill Iranian troops and subdue Kurdish uprisings."

They didn't ever give a shit about this until it was convenient for them... It's the new American way!

5. Speaking of that photo

Isn't it true that Saddam never shook hands with anybody but Rummy cause he was giving Saddam weapons and it was a deal? I thought I read that somewhere on here once. :shrug:

3. Of course

We gave them those weapons. How else do you think Bush knew they had something at one point? Dear Pappy. Why else do you think Halliburton "won" contracts so fast with "rebuilding" Iraq? Hopefully we can take back the government next year and change everything. What I wish is we could get a democratic president and we could get out of their country for good and instead of us rebuilding it we can give their government the money and they can create jobs and pay people to rebuild and help their families and get their lives back. I think that's what we owe them. To get the fuck out and give them the money instead of Halliburton and George Bush.

9. Well said!

The longer we are there, the more angry they will become. We're killing their citizens, destroying their cities.
US Corporations have moved in, the list is long.
How would we feel if the situation was reversed?
It's time to get out of there.

10. The longer we are there...
