"Terrorist attack". It was a legitimate military target. They were marines not civilians.

@cyrustg do the research if your serious...that doesn't mean going to zionist/Israeli websites it means actual research. Try searching on the web, if you can't find let me know but if you refuse to look because it will anger your Israeli masters and shatter the the lies you have accepted then don't bother me. Start with Rumsfeld's visit to Iraq- if your serious...

@DavidFarsaad Do you have any evidence that the US provided Saddam with chemical/biological weapons? Or is it true just because you say so?

[DavidFarsaad]

What about the terrorism, aparthied, murder and rape in Palestine since well before 1948????? What about the US/UK terrorism for centuries ???? ... These things are never brought up by zionist media.

[DavidFarsaad]

@cyrustg YES they did sell and give him chemical/biological weapons for the specific purpose of killing Iranians...Operation Ajax was the CIA/MI6 operation to remove Mossadegh

[cyrustg]

@VictumRoManius No, you're wrong; gunnerdelta is correct. The US/UK did not give Saddam chemical weapons. They gave him intelligence and other arms and ignored his used of chem weapons, but did not give him those weapons. Also, the US/UK did not overthrow Iran's "newly formed democratic state." At the time, Iran's state was over 3,000 years old (nothing new about it); rather, the US/UK acted to help remove a popular PM, Mohammad Mossadegh.

Amanpour in her second question about poor Israelis being killed on their streets shows just how low quality and guided she was. A golden opportunity to get a quality discussion and she has to bring up the frickin Zionists.

And, of course, the Americans reneged on their promise to Iran. This certainly led to improved relationship and trust with America - by then who could trust America in anything?

Why did Israel invade Lebanon, for the usual reason - I believe the Germans had called it Liebenstraum or something to that effect. Israel thinks that it has carte blanche to invade Lebanon as and when they want. The last time they did it after 1982 was in 2002 and Hezbollah kicked their asses. The jews left 2 million cluster bombs in Lebanon as a 'lick your wounds' and 'tail between your legs', goodbye!!
