Thread: The war in Iraq

Pakistan is ruled by the military.I love it that way cos we dont need those fockwit mullahs to rule the country.

But I can assure you that America wont attack Pakistan cos it might be the last mistake America might commit.

What do you say??

And for the biological and chemical weapons,here is something......

Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein greets Donald Rumsfeld, then special envoy of U.S. President Ronald Reagan, in Baghdad on December 20, 1983. He gave him a pair of golden cowboy spurs - a present from Reagan.

This meeting took place before one of the most shocking war crimes since the second world war - Iraq's 1988 gassing of the Kurds in Halabjah. This meeting took place at a time when Iraq was first alleged to have used chemical weapons, and it paved the way for an official restoration of relations between Iraq and the US, which had been severed since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

In March 1984, with the Iran-Iraq war was in full swing, Rumsfeld was back in Baghdad for meetings with the Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz. On the day of his visit, March 24th 1984, UPI reported from the United Nations that mustard gas laced with a nerve agent has been used on Iranian soldiers.

Furthermore, in the same year, the Reagan administration played a key role in the genocide of the Kurd's and supplied the helicopters that Iraq used to drop chemical weapons on them. In 1984, according to The LA Times, the State DepartmentÑin the name of Òincreased American penetration of the extremely competitive civilian aircraft marketÓÑpushed through the sale of 45 Bell helicopters to Iraq. The New York Times later reported that Saddam Òtransferred many, if not all [of these helicopters] to his military.Ó

It was Rumsfeld's trip to Baghdad which opened of the floodgates during 1985-90 for lucrative US weapons exports to Iraqi dictatorship - some $1.5 billion worth - including chemical/biological and nuclear weapons equipment and technology, along with critical components for missile delivery systems.

In 1988, When Iraq attacked Kurdish civilians with poisonous gas from Iraqi helicopters and planes. US intelligence sources told The LA Times in 1991, they Òbelieve that the American-built helicopters were among those dropping the deadly bombs".

In the same year, the Chicago Tribune Magazine listed among RumsfeldÕs achievements helping to Òreopen US relations with Iraq.Ó The Tribune failed to mention that this help came at a time when, according to the US State Department, Iraq was actively using chemical weapons.

Musharraf is playing a key role in the war on terror because he knows that the countries who dont follow U.S orders are fucked in some way,so he is just trying to save Pakistan's ass.

And why would that be?

Haven't they become 'friends' since Pakistan got nukes?

Anyway, this thread has gone in a different direction from what RC wanted to discuss.
Shouldn't have mentioned "Iraq" and "war" in the title...

I would say I'm in agreement with Randomchances post to me.

I know Pakistan is nothing for the American army but they say If I go down I will take you down.

Now can someone tell me why America is not fucking with China???

There is no democracy there according to the U.S.

No human rights according to the U.S.

They have nukes and they already warned America of using them.
