how did the US fuck up Iraq? so you are saying before Desert storm it was humanitarian?
Before US scum came to Iraq, gulf war and gulf war 2. Iraq was one of the most prosperous countries in the M-E.
How do I know? My father used to work on contracts in Iraq, alongside US companies, Russian companies, German companies, Former-Yugoslavian companies, Turkish companies. Lots of infrastructure projects, etc... He used to be there in the 80s for that matter during even the Iraq-Iran war. Could see the rockets flying and conflict live.
I also used to happen to have a lot of christian Iraqi friends and they used to heavily despise the US and talk about how their countries was destroyed (since the first gulf war).
My father's description of Iraq were like the Iraqi's description. From the airport, to the roads, to the buildings, parks, schools. Etc... one of my girlfriends was an Iraqi Christian too back in high school too. She used to talk about how Iraq was in the 80s, then how it was fucked up in the the gulf war.
Then of course we come to the second gulf war which was recent history. I remember being in the anti-war protests. Millions of us world wide. The scum governments and military didn't care.
WMD? Fucking liars. Guess who gave them that intel? ISRAEL!
Oh and lets not forget Israel bombed Iraq in the 80s as well.
Israel doesn't want competition. It doesn't want INDEPENDENT powerful states in the neighbourhood. Iran is a very successful nation, totally independent of arabs and totally independent of the west. Hence it's a 'problem' for Israel.
Israel has 400+ nukes. They even kidnapped, tortured and imprisoned Vanunu who revealed the truth about Israel's nuclear program from the late 60s where they stole the nuclear material from the US.. or rather it was made to appear as stolen but given by the US to israel
