Poll question: POLL: easier to deal with: Saddam or Iraqi Islamic Republic?
For both our government or oil companies?

4. Yeah, Saddam was a convenient ally
at the time and we gave him chemical weapons. Soon he was invading oil rich neighbors with rulers close to the Bush family so he become our enemy.

And likewise the same will happen with this theocracy that is is forming. The US will again be "forced" to invade when they get uppity and start causing trouble for US oil companies.

2. We have morphed
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 01:52 PM by realpolitik
from effective UN control (with a bit of worrisome graft)

to the mother of all American charlie foxtrots with the 2nd largest known reserves of oil as the carrot, and a global holy war as the stick.


Hey, what's not to like!

5. Poll is misleading....it's not that simple
All of the complications involved in that question....can't be answered by a simplistic poll question.

8. About the only thing I dislike about DU is the polls
DUers mean well, but the polls are silly....I am always embarrassed to recommend DU to other liberals because the first thing that hits your eyes when you go to GD is some silly poll...not that your is silly...just can't be answered without alot of explanation.

6. How should I put this...
Saddam was a Bush bitch... they gave him weapons a wink and a nod and said go after those Iranian a-holes. But when the bitch stepped out of line he got pimp slapped... and screwed along with Iraq many times over...

Stupid bastard didn't keep track of what happened to Bush's Panamanian bitch... he's sitting in jail too...
