Wow Tracy you have some top level STUPID in this post.

“The Iraqis NEVER asked us to invade. WE INVADED.”

The Iraqis would have NEVER been able to overthrow Saddam with just our material support.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

How irrelevant are you going to be with this stupidity? THEY DIDNT ASK US TO INVADE. What they COULD do isnt what is being talked about we dont get to decide for other countries they will be better with another leader and we will just invade and give you one. We SUCK at regime changes look at the many times we overthrew democracies and put in military dictatorships. Most every time we do the regime change things the people suffer IT ISNT UP TO US. The Iraqis never asked us to invade we had ZERO moral justification for the invasion.

“THAT is a STRONG ally.”

No that’s helping the dog who we wanted to win the fight. We had no embassy, no real diplomatic relations, and no shared values as a nation.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;


OH MY GOD. Do you really think you can just define words to mean whatever you want them to mean in order for your STUPID arguments to make sense? We gave him intelligence we gave him money we sold him the precursers to WMDS THAT IS DIRECTLY TO HIS MILITARY. We STOPPED A UN INVESTIGATION INTO HALABJA.  There is NO POSSIBLE WAY to rationally argue he wasnt a strong ally. My GOD Raygun even appologized for him attacking a US Naval vessel in 86. Tell me how anyone but a strong ally can attack a US naval vessel and dodge retaliation. You are working hard on your delusional fantasies but do yourself a favor and give this one up its plain stupid and you are embarassing yourself.</description>

		<description>I dont have to read up on anything Tracy. I know this stuff not being as stupid as you I know what I am talking about BEFORE I post. As your citation says they wield CONSIDERABLE power but are not all powerful. Again we ARE talking about the same Kameini who put a FATWA on nuclear weapons? I am not disputing the clerics have considerable power but exactly WHERE is your information about their nuclear program coming from? The one that is contradicted by ALL OF OUR INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES? What awesome resources do YOU have that our intelligence community is lacking as a moron who THINKS he knows everything and posts on a website? How are you arguing BOTH that Kamenei is both ALL powerful and has no power to enforce his FATWA ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS? You do know you arent very good at this dont you? You just get stupider as you get more hysterical when you are SHOWN to be full of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_famous_fatwas

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/08/10/iran.iaea.1350/index.html

Meanwhile, Iran&#039;s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, issued a fatwa declaring the &quot;production, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons&quot; against the beliefs of Islam.

So tell me Tracy do you EVER know what you are talking about or are you just into embarassing yourself?</description>

“Where do you obtain your info as to how Iran works?”

Are you suggesting that the mullahs, i.e. the Iranian Supreme Council, doesn’t have the final say on the political decisions in Iran?
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

Are YOU suggesting we take ANYTHING you post more seriously than a regurgitation of Limborg talking points and stupidity to laugh at? You can show yourself out in disgrace you dont have the slightest idea what you are talking about you rarely do.</description>

You mean like Khatami? The Supreme leader of religious clerics in Iran? The one who put a FATWA on nuclear weapons and said NO country has a right to have them? Those kind of clerics? You really have no idea what you are talking about do you?</description>

150 was a MONUMENTALLY STUPID POST. Yeah we KNOW the Iraqi nuclear weapons program in 2003 was fictional EVERYONE WITH A FUNCTIONING CEREBRAL CORTEX KNOWS THIS NOW. IF you were at all up on current events YOU would know that too. Since 16 of our intelligence agencies UNANIMOUSLY said that Iran WASNT pursueing nuclear weapons right now exactly what do YOU know that they dont? Why are you wasting time here. You need to be informing our intelligence community how YOU with your vast resources in middle east intellingence, all your contacts there and all know so much more than THEY DO. Set them straight. They are awaiting the succor of your wisdom and knowlege. Explain to them how much more YOU know about this than THEY do.</description>

Oh so now this is a matter of we are only allowed to send our troops into places where genocide is being committed but screw the rest of our national interests like preventing economic meltdown which is exactly what would have happened if Saddam were to have obtained a nuke sitting on top of one of the largest oil reserves in the world not to mention the global panic the would have ensued.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;

OH MY GOD. You arent even TRYING to make sense. He didnt HAVE a nuclear program. The IAEA TOLD US THAT. We had ZERO evidence he did. The French, Germans and Russians all told us he didnt. So IF he had been breeding giant lizzards that shot lazer beams from their eyes THAT would have been a real problem too but since he wasnt any more than he was aquiring nuclear weapons you are simply thrashing around WISHING you had an argument. There are MANY worse dictators than Saddam and WE SUPPORTED SEVERAL OF THEM. You arent withing MILES of a cogent argument. You cant be serious with this inane BS.</description>

You are absolutly ridiculous the FRENCH gave US support for OUR revolution we did NOT give support to Iraqis. The Iraqis NEVER asked us to invade. WE INVADED. Your weird example isnt even apples and oranges its planets and screendoors.

You are INSANE he was a VERY strong ally we sold him precursers FOR WMDs directly to their military KNOWING they would use them for chemical weapons we GAVE him a low interest billion dollar loan AFTER Halabja, we GAVE him US targetting intelligence. THAT is a STRONG ally. You are simply denying reality. We STOPPED the UN investigation into Halabja. There is no possible argument he was not treated as a STRONG ALLY.</description>

<p>You are INSANE he was a VERY strong ally we sold him precursers FOR WMDs directly to their military KNOWING they would use them for chemical weapons we GAVE him a low interest billion dollar loan AFTER Halabja, we GAVE him US targetting intelligence. THAT is a STRONG ally. You are simply denying reality. We STOPPED the UN investigation into Halabja. There is no possible argument he was not treated as a STRONG ALLY.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=5390880', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>In all seriousness Tracy_5. Where do you obtain your info as to how Iran works. You seem to be spouting a line which has been sold to you. The impression the average American (US) has of this nation is bunk and is the product a a marketing campaingn which goes back long before the Iranian Revolution and hostage crisis which of course has also been spun to meet the needs of those with the agenda to which you seem to have boughten into.</description>
