    Couldn't agree more! Time to sever the ties with this ally - Israel has become far more of a liability than an asset.

    We did invade then withdrew. Now we invaded and are occupying. a million. Saddam replaced into only finished for crimes against humanity... a great style of those crimes have been dedicated interior the 80s or previous. particular, together as he replaced into on the U. S. payroll and replaced into supported in his attack on Iran. 2. Gulf conflict 1989 - Saddam invades Kuwait and we circulate in and run him out.... appropriate. He additionally had WMDs on the time. particular, we knew concerning the WMD's because of the fact we nevertheless had the receipts for them. He gave up his WMD's while the inspectors went in and replaced into in no way deceptive approximately them interior the least. He cooperated totally with UN inspection communities. The Kuwait component replaced into entirely to guard Saudi oil. 3. Now he's finished and Iraq is occupied for those crimes and violations... Why did no longer we do it then? that's all teach! we don't care approximately that petty crime he replaced into finished for interior the least. This replaced right into a PR stunt undeniable and straightforward, a dumb one that backfired thoroughly... We did no longer do it then for the comparable reason we did no longer do it to human beings like Trujillo interior the Dominican Republic, Somoza in Nicaragua, Marcos interior the Philippines, Duvalier in Haiti, the Saudi royal family members and a great style of different brutal killers we help or have supported.

    Israel has been (and I emphasize has) a close friend and ally - a freedom-loving country living in a sea of sharks out for blood.

    Israel does not need u.s. to defend themselves against Iran - if they feel the time to attack to defend their country is at their door - they will crush Iran. And what choice do they have ? There's the leader of another country stating in public time and again, they are going to wipe you off the face of the map. Would you sit idly by - and die....or fight ?

    As a result over a million Iraqis were killed and the life of 10s of millions of Iraqis and Arabs was destroyed ... Iraq was destroyed and was 100 years back and became controlled by a foreign country (Iran). Now after 9 years Iraqis still do not have regular electricity. Mr. Obama said that Iraq was a country that never attacked the USA. Ba’ath party is 2 parts lead by 2 dictators, one in Iraq was lead by Sadam and the other in Syria have been lead by Assad who declared last month that he has weapons of mass destruction and he almost destroyed Syria, around 30.000 died, 100s of thousands in prisons, millions of refugees, rapes, mass killings, racism, harassments, abuse, torturing ... you name it ... and until now I did not hear that Mr. Obama did anything serious to stop what is happening in Syria. All I hear is that he/they are preparing for after the fall of the regime ! WHAT ..... ?

    So, Why Iraq was invaded and the million Iraqis were killed for what ... ??????

    At Bush's direction Israel was instructed not to. That's why we sent missiles and manned them.

    Goose eggs. If Israel goes to war with Iran, I hope they are on their own. Why should we help that war-mongering nation just because Christian fundies tell us to?

    Bush explicitly avoided having Israel involved at all. If asked, I bet they would have helped.

    The U.N. asked that Israel , not take part in it . Because that would open up a whole new story .
