That would literally be a first in human history. Show me please, in history, the government overthrown because people were unhappy with its imperialism.

A million people died in Iraq as a result of the invasion.

Did you just forget that Iraq happened 20 years ago? Or Vietnam? Have you just not heard of those things? Christ, he gave you a century, and you decided nothing happened? If he’d said 20 years you’d be right, but a century?

I’m sure you’ll be on the front lines of the WW3 you’ve just called for right?

Everybody’s down since Trump left.

I’m just trying to understand the mindset of people who support the war on Iraq which killed over a million people. I mean, it’s too easy to say that they’re just evil, but maybe I lack the comprehension for what other words would be more appropriate.

But let’s say for instance that they thought they were going to save people (even though they ended up killing over a million, a total which, according to the State Department’s own figures of how many people Saddam had killed since the imposition of the no-fly zone, would have taken him 200 years to match) - I mean,…

Does he get to make a good faith defense? I mean, it’s not as if they went to war with Iraq knowing that it didn’t actually have WMDs right?

I don’t think Don Lemon knows a whole lot.

Himmler too. Pol Pot died in his sleep under house arrest, just like Mao, who supported him, and the American Presidents who also supported him, from Ford to Reagan.

Hey now, give Genghis a break, he invented free trade. Line goes up and all that.

Alleged. Alleged war criminal. He hasn’t actually been found guilty yet.

I agree, and that’s exactly what I would tell authoritarian tankies if I knew any. But we’re not here to share tips on how to reach those sad individuals. We’re here to make sure that you let all those Saddamites running riot over the Condoleeza Rice thread know how wrong they are, by sharing your facts and evidence…

The pro-Saddamites are only multiplying over in that thread, and you’re wasting your time here replying to yourself about China when you could be giving them facts and evidence as to why Iraq had WMDs, it just hid them in Syria before the war. Hurry up and get in there!

We’ve had variations of tomato trolls here since the very beginning of Gawker, none of them have ever been Russian

So many pro-Saddamites in the comments of this story:

1 million plus. 250,000's an old figure, it was already up to 650,000 by the end of the Republican administration tenure in 2008

“Put some respect on her name!”

You believe Iraq had WMDs before the war, they just hid them in Syria, and you have never, ever, ever, provided a fact, or a source in defense of the belief.
