arguing about politics on youtube is so fucking pointless...

[pudgenet]

@Falador321 Almost as pointless as telling people that arguing about politics on youtube is pointless.

Back up your claim that I am wrong. In before, "But we bombed them to liberate them!". And what I am saying is not based on war on Iraq. Just look at the whole history of your nation and the last century. Your nation, what it was, what it wanted to be - and what it is and soon to be.

@GDemon "Back up your claim that I am wrong"

Sigh. First, I don't have to: you made the initial assertions, so you need to back them up. Me saying you are wrong, when you provide no evidence, does not have to be backed up.

Worse, though, I did back it up. You said that the U.S. seeks to control the world, yet I pointed out the fact that we gave back control of Iraq. You didn't respond to this evidence.

You are clearly not intelligent enough to be allowed to continue. Good-bye.

@KpopManiacSFL "No if was not to take out Saddam"

False.

"IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WERE WMDS"

You're confused. Hussein failed to comply with UN Resolutions about WMD, which included inspections, monitoring, and verification. This is indisputable. So the U.S. said, either Hussein had to leave so that someone else would take charge who WOULD comply, or we would go in and remove him.

"BUSH SAID MULTIPLE TIMES IT WAS BECAUSE IRAQ WAS CONNECTED TO 9/11"

You're a liar. Bush NEVER said that.

@KpopManiacSFL "The point of the Iraq war was not to kill Saddam"

Correct: it was to remove him from power.

"it was to seize control over oil and the region"

Obviously false, evidenced by the fact that we do gave control of the oil to Iraq.

"Do you really think America gave a shit about Kurds, Iraqis and Shias?"

Moreso than I care about YOU.

if my father hears this or see's this he freaks out because of ptsd cause he was in the gulf war its really sad

@salakast Actually the reason why U.S. troops didn't pushed onto Baghdad and remove Saddam from power in 1991 because George Bush Sr realized that doing so would have the country destabilized and would cause the civil war not to mention it would be hard to control the religious factions willing to take over terrotories that is living in Iraq. That's why Bush Sr allowed Saddam to stay in power and keep them contained(which worked pretty well). Look at the history of the middle east to see why.

I want to see the day when all american cities burning as they did to Baghdad

[MentalChainsawDude]

@pudgenet Wow...very kind of you americans to "hand back" something that never belonged to you, and GDemon is right, America wants to rule the world, but i hope they never do.

America is the biggest threat to this planet, they ARE the terrorists.

[pudgenet]

@Hperman09 I don't know. I'd have to do more study on the specifics. It comes close enough in my mind, which is why I think it's wrong.

[Hperman09]

@pudgenet Does it violate the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878? Since that act prohibited U.S. Armed Forces to act as a law enforcement, only the national guard.
