Irony at its finest

In this interview from April 15th, 1994 Dick Cheney reveals the reasons why invading Baghdad and toppling Saddam Hussein’s regime wouldn’t be a great idea. He also stipulates that “not very many” American soldiers’ lives were worth losing to take out Saddam during the Gulf War.

  1. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bremmer, especially Bremmer should be tried in US courts for the deaths of every American.

    Probably there are not alone. Most Americans should be tried in US courts because there was support by the evangelical Christians to invade Iraq and the poll shows that most Americans were in favour of war than those who do not favor. The same is going on right now with the senate and congress mostly republicans who are from the southern US and have their evangelical Christian constituents supporting war on Iran. Obama, has done well to avoid it, but Netanyahu is pushing the republicans to turn the negotiations down so the war will be inevitable.

    I am telling you Iran is not an Arab country and if anyone touches it, it will be catastrophic to the whole world, so the evangelical Christians must tell their congressmen and senators to accept the deal with Iran and forget about Netanyahu, so that there will be peace in the world.

    You can bomb an Arab countries easily because they are not united but Iran is not an Arab country and their citizens are united to defend it.

    Thanks.

    Do you watch Jack Van Impe? a Christian Armageddon preacher and Pastor or Reverend John Hagee? and most evangelicals who are pushing for war? and their followers believe them and want war? and they have the power to cause the war by voting and making sure their senator and/or congressman force war on Iran as Netanyahu wants. So that there will be Armageddon and when it happens the attacked poor country men are deThanfending themselves and they happen to be Muslims and some Christians, then you say Islam is not good?

    Go to Palestine and you will see both Muslims and Christian Palestinians defending their land which has got its part totally confiscated by the evangelical Christian Zionists to Zionists Jews.

    In Palestine both CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ARE DEFENDING THEIR LAND AND THEY ARE UNITED ON THAT, but not Muslims Palestinians alone who want their lands back.

    There are Palestinian Christians is West Band and Gaza and Israel bomb the Churches In Gaza recently and you support that Robert Wells but just to be attacking Islam left and right.

    Thanks

    My Response: What are you talking about? The debate in the Senate right now is not about going to war with Iran, its about this insane deal that Obama and Kerry want to sign with Iran.

    Do you really think its a good idea for Iran to maintain the ability to make nuclear weapons? Do you really think it is a good idea for Iran to have nuclear weapons?

    Even the Saudi’s and other Sunni nations are united with Israel against this deal, thats how bad it is.

    If Iran develops the bomb, every Sunni Nation in the region will want and those that can will start developing nuclear weapons. That would be insanity.

    I say;
    I do not want Iran or anyone to possess nuclear weapon including US and Israel. Iran says its nuclear development is a peaceful one just like Japan, Canada, Switzerland etc. and it has right according to the United Nation to develop its peaceful nuclear. Why Iran? Why is anyone not stopping Japan from nuclear? but Iran? That is nonsense and insult to Iran. Iran will not stop its right no matter any sanctions. It is under sanctions for so many years but it survives with technology that some surrounding nations do not have.

    You said;

    I say;
    Everybody has the ability to develop a nuclear weapon and it is a knowledge and no one has the monopoly to prevent that knowledge from anyone because it is God given knowledge and it is on the internet because of its global village capability.

    Now that everyone has that knowledge of nuclear, the UN has granted every country the right to peaceful nuclear and that right involves the nuclear knowledge and nuclear knowledge involves the ability to make weapons which everyone knows, including Japan and Switzerland and they have nuclear for peaceful reason but not bomb and that is what Iran also has and no one can stop it unless you drop bomb on its site and that is what Netanyahu and the republicans want and it is dangerous. Obama’s deal makes sure Iran does not develop a bomb but Iran and everyone who reads about nuclear knows and have the capability to develop nuclear bomb.

    Netanyahu wants Iran to stop any nuclear development and any deal that does not include Iran halting its peaceful nuclear development is not good for Netanyahu but Netanyahu’s Israel and US has nuclear bombs. Iran does not have nuclear bomb but just like Japan it already has the peaceful nuclear but not bomb and already has the capability to make nuclear weapons like Japan and it is its right according to United Nation.

    You said;

    I say;
    Israel has a nuclear bomb, and do not use Sunni Nation to digress the conversation because Iran is not producing or has produced nuclear bomb. It started its nuclear development some years back and if it wants it would have produced a bomb by now but it did not because Iran signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and Israel did not sign.

    If the republicans wants peace, they should tell Israel to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and destroy their nuclear arsenal and leave Iran with its peaceful nuclear just like Japan and Canada.

    This was the same lies that was pumped into your brains that Saddam Hussein has got weapons of mass destruction and you supported the war and it costs both US servicemen and women lives and destroyed Iraq and brought Isis because there were no isis in Iraq before. Even though Saddam has his own problem like any head of state like Obama, isis was not in Iraq and Christians were taken care of and his vice president Tariq Aziz was a practicing Christian.

    Iran now, has Christians and Jews and the Jews are more there and lived there form centuries to centuries and are still living there and would not want to go to any western country. You start bombing Iran and you bring isis2. But you cannot bomb Iran because it is not an Arab country stronger than any Arab country because its citizen are united to defend it.

    Thanks.

  7. My view is none in that region is mature nor stable enough to even be trusted with nuclear weapons apart from maybe the Gulf states
