...poses some interesting questions, none of which I can answer. Does anyone have any opinions or information which I can draw upon to formulate an answer, or is it somkething better left unanswered?

This is my first post, so please go easy on me. I'm working my way up the fr.com ladder, into the FR toilet, one small rung flush at a time.

"You forgot Illuminati..."

But NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

99% is not made up. It is the attribution of such things as USA providing (as policy) biologic killers. That lady ambassador DID say that to Saddam and got a lot of flack for it. I don't know about Jim Baker being involved. I don't know about Saddam's willingness to pull out of Kuwait as being fact. I say, if a person (or liberal) asks a question about something, we ought to honestly try to answer it before we throw brickbats at them.

I've been here a couple of years and have never started a vanity thread. I believe it is considered bad form (wasting bandwidth), especially when it is one's first thread posting.

Actually, for this guy I think all they need to do is scuff their feet on the carpet a couple of times.

True, but I say use 'em if you've got 'em.

anyone on FR would know this story.

Iran and Iraq were at war shortly after Iran jailed our diplomats. So we helped SH...

But this was "before" he gassed the Kurds and killed a couple hundred thousand Shiites and drained the marshes of Baasra.

It's like saying that Roosevelt "supported" Stalin, so all Democrats are communists...duh. we were fighting Hitler at the time.

Or it's like saying Preston Bush's money was invested in Hitler's Germany, years before Hitler started killing Jews or the mentally ill...duh, even years before Hitler was in charge of Germany.

Or it's like saying the Vatican wanted a strong German government to oppose Stalin, who had killed a couple million Christians, so they signed a concordence with Hitler in 1933--before Hitler started confiscating Chruch land and killing the retarded or Jews.

Or it's like saying the New York Times supported Fidel Castro's thuggery because they supported his opposition to the thug Battista.

You can't always predict who is the bad guy...and sometimes, like when we supported Saddam against Iran's murderous mullahs, sometimes you make a pact with the devil to oppose a bigger devil...

"enemy of my enemy is my friend"

Gotta say I'm sick of that phrase...time to make baloney out of that bull.

Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy and should be next on the list of Asses To Kick.

He's one of us

Uh, not anymore.

...drivel about how we supported Saddam in the past... ....interesting questions, none of which I can answer

Yo, 7! 

I'm having difficulty understanding what you're saying.  Are you saying that their question is interesting?  Are you honestly saying that you have no answer to someone who says since Reagan gave money to Saddam, then no one (including Clinton) would ever have a right to attack him no matter what he does?

Not sure about that.
