Richardson: 500,000 dead kids OK in pursuit of U.S. policy

He said the price of half a million children dead from sanctions were the correct policy? Now with the invasion of 2003 and no WMD could be found: do you think he can at least apologize for the 1.5 million Iraqis that died for WMD they did not have.

This man is a complete idiot.

It is sad that a man who thinks this way can spend his whole life making decisions that affect millions of people. Why do we accept the rhetoric and spin people like hiim peddle? In the age of the internet, how can this guy get away with saying things like this without repercussion. Very, very sad. I hope he is re-incarnated as a victim of his own policy.

The UN committed a genocide on August 6th 1990 in Iraq. The date of Resolution 661.which lasted 13 years. Oddly enough the UN is located in Manhattan & placed sanctions on Iraq on the anniversary of the Manhattan Project for weapons of mass destruction

Bill Richardson just went from better than most of them to an evil asshole who deserves a strong swift kick to the nuts (or death).

This is disgusting!! How can he justify the killings of half a million children!!! If a Muslim went on American TV and justified the killing of the 3000 that died on 9/11, that guy would be labeled disgusting terrorist pig but when Bill Richardson justifies the killing of almost 200 times as many deaths, it goes unnoticed. Nobody Cares

FWIW, I care.

Yeah I wish more people understood this simple concept. Bill Richardson is as disgusting as Dick Cheney.

all those you named are alright except Jimmy Carter. zbigniew bryzinski served as his national security advisor which brought fourth osama bin laden and raised up a few irritated muslims which if you believe the 9/11 commission brought fourth 9/11 attacks.

Scum.
