Sorry, don't mean to be like the politicians averting questions. The answer you are looking for is the dollar eventually ends up feeding back into the American Economic Engine.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('OilFinder2', 'B')uggy you did not answer the question you were replying to.

We are no longer talking about the Chinese. You just repeated what I already said:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he war in Iraq had "no basis in international law", a Dutch inquiry found today, in the first ever independent legal assessment of the decision to invade.

In a series of damning findings, a seven-member panel in the Netherlands concluded that the war, which was supported by the Dutch government following intelligence from Britain and the US, had not been justified in law.

"The Dutch government lent its political support to a war whose purpose was not consistent with Dutch government policy," the inquiry in the Hague concluded. "The military action had no sound mandate in international law."

[Jotapay]

Of course it was. They deliberately lied about WMD and whipped everyone into a frenzy to justify a pre-planned invasion.

If people aren't wise to this fact already, then they need to pull their head out their arse.

[Jotapay]

Why don't you declare Bush-2 and Cheney war criminals and use Interpol (which now has diplomatic immunity in the USA) to rendition them to international court?

I am frankly surprised that no high-ranking US government official was outright assassinated during the Bush administration's reign. I mean, if these terrorist groups are capable of coordinating 9/11 and other high-profile terrorist incidents around the world, how hard would it really be to get somebody to simply off Chaney, Rumsfeld, or even Bush himself? Forget blowing up trains and killing innocent people, I don't understand why 'terrorists' don't simply send the clear message that purveyers of oppressive foreign policy do so at the risk of their own lives. I expect that might bring 'change we can believe in' to the USA in short order.

Disclaimer: I do not support expression of political dissent through violent means.

Assassination attempts on top US officials would result in massive reprisals.

Think about what Johnson would have done to Vietnam if Kennedy had been killed by a Vietcong assassin.

Now replace good-natured, liberal-at-heart Johnson with Darth Cheney and replace jungle Vietnam with desert Iraq.

If you thought the American people were supportive of the invasion in 2003, just imagine what they would have looked like had Bush, the hero president who brought America back after 9/11, had been killed in, October of 2002.

The November elections would have given President Cheney a supermajority and a mandate to combat terrorists wherever they lived.

Baghdad would be a radioactive parking lot.

Hi Bas:

Now that a Dutch court has ruled that the Iraq War was illegal, are the Dutch going to prosecute the Dutch politicians who sent the Dutch Army to the Iraq War?

A clear illustration that law is violence. With no credible threat of violence, this "law" has no force.

I think most of that oil went to other countries.

We are just the repo-men.

Iraq was the strategic reserve, and we cracked that piggy bank open for somebody.

They claim "Ich habe es nicht gewüsst" (I didn't know). They said they believed what they were told, that Irak had WMD, even if there was no evidence that they actually did.
