[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5725742, member: 24302"] As I pointed out, Obama announced in advance all of our plans. Are you saying I agree with that? I'm on record here saying that we shouldn't have gone into Iraq. I learned that over time reading numerous resources. Bush and company used 9/11 as a pretext to take out Hussein. Hussein WAS supporting terrorists actions against Israel. Also he was threatening to take Euros for his oil, threatening the Petrodollar. But it doesn't look like he had anything to do with 9/11. One very serious side effect to removing Hussein. Iraq had the largest Christian community in the Middle East. About 2 million of them. Hussein protected them from harm. When he was removed the Muslims started attacking Christians. Almost all of them either fled or got murdered. There were monasteries there that were built as early as the 3rd Century that were full of priceless religious artifacts and manuscripts. Most of that destroyed. [USER=56035]@rickyb[/USER] These are the people you're supporting. Tell the Iraqis the Christians have the right to return and see what they do to you. [/QUOTE]
