OMG! I just realized; it won't be Iraq War II, it'll be Iraq War III !!! Think about it,

how many times do we need to attack these poor people, burn their children?

How much hatred are we spreading?

Maliki tortured protesters, we tortured in Abu Ghraib!

What kind of evil is making these decisions that will foster generations of bloodshed.

No fucking Iraq War III. Isn't 2 enough already?

And this time, we're going to partner with the country they called the axis of evil, Iran, who people argued we needed to bomb just a year or so ago!

Sorry, just a little vent. OP yours people!

U.S. Secretly Gave Aid to Iraq Early in Its War Against Iran
By SEYMOUR M. HERSH,
Published: January 26, 1992

The Reagan Administration secretly decided to provide highly classified intelligence to Iraq in the spring of 1982 -- more than two years earlier than previously disclosed -- while also permitting the sale of American-made arms to Baghdad in a successful effort to help President Saddam Hussein avert imminent defeat in the war with Iran, former intelligence and State Department officials say.

The American decision to lend crucial help to Baghdad so early in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war came after American intelligence agencies warned that Iraq was on the verge of being overrun by Iran, whose army was bolstered the year before by covert shipments of American-made weapons.

one you quote we supported Iraq against Iran, now we're 180 supporting Iran against the same Iraqi Sunni's we supported against Iran.

It's a bad, disgusting joke that kills and kills again.
