Oh yes, we did. Inspectors in, inspectors thrown out by SH. Inspectors in, inspectors out. Embargo? Just which countries were the first to break the embargo? Why the same ones that opposed action after they voted FOR UN SC 1441.
We tried. The world tried as well as the UN can try.. which isn't too good, is it? Not when permanent members of the UN SC won't support the embargo, eh?
for sure, and we can open a discussion on what can be done in such cases, cooperating, instead of fighting, to find a better solution than bombs.
Oh, we found an easy solution. All that was needed was for SH to comply with the UN resolutions. What could be easier than that? And totally certain to avoid any warfare that way too.
Quit blaming the rest of the world. Blame the guy responsible for all this: SH.
I still want this thing ending with Hussein out of the play and as quickest as possible with minimal losses to ALL parties involved.
That's what every normal person wanted at the beginning and still wants now.
Further, that's EXACTLY what you are getting. I challenge you to come up with any other Coalition of forces, any other battle plan that would have resulted in lower "losses to ALL parties involved". I had my doubts early on, but Franks & Company has so far done an excellent job on minimizing casualties to ALL parties. My only b tch is that I think a greater use of airpower early on would have saved some Coalition lives and possibly some Iraqi ones as well. The Iraqis may not have fought much if given more "rolling thunder" before shootable targets came at them.
Dont try to label me as Hussein friend, you will insult your own inteligence doing that.
I haven't called you anything nor labeled you as anything. I let people create their own personas with their own words.
Still there have been someone phisically pulling that trigger.
Yes, his name was SH. He could have avoided the entire conflict by complying with the UN SC resolutions. He's the one that gave orders to dip people in acid baths and feed real live people into shredders.
Put the blame where it belongs.
"We are trying our best to avoid unnecessary deaths, but, since we are not perfect, we made mistakes, and those civilians deaths are our responsability, we will do our best to improve in efficiency"
I think Centcom has admitted mistakes when they happened and have been confirmed and they are investigating.. with world news representatives present... the unconfirmed claims.
[quoteAgain you are falling in the mistake to accusing me to defend Saddam.[/quote]
I'm not accusing you of anything.
You make your own bed here.
Some can look the other way while Iraq deliberately delays compliance with UN SC resolutions on WMD, while SH throws inspectors out, while SH cheats on the terms of the '91 ceasefire.
They can also ignore the proven facts that the guy in charge, SH, is a genocidal murderer of hundreds of thousands of his own citizens and the person that has killed more Muslims in the last 20 years than any other living person.
They can look the other way and ignore that while criticizing Bush as an imperialist baby killer. And then they fail to see why folks don't take them seriously.
Like I said, everyone paints their own portrait here, not with colors but with words.
