Do you have anything that proves that UN sanctions [not US] killed Iraqis? Saddam is the one responsible for any of these alleged deaths. He controlled the money and how it was spent. He turned down the initial offer of the Oil for Food program in 1991.

Saddam invaded Iran and Kuwait. He was a despicable tyrant who murdered hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and buried them in mass graves. Enough of this Leftist BS about sanctions and the deaths of children caused by UN sanctions.

I visited Kuwait a few days after it was liberated. I walked thru and flew over the burning oilfields set on fire by Saddam. I walked the "mile of death" that was the result of Saddam's looting of Kuwait and the vehicles filled with stolen goods. America liberated Kuwait and Iraq.

Yes we did, though we didn't liberate Iraq until 2003. The sanctions weren't terminated until then.

First, they were UN sanctions with US backing and support, as the Clinton administration admits in this video. Remember "There are those who want to lift the sanctions. I am not among them."? Apart from what the Clinton administration acknowledges in this video, if you honestly believe our sanctions didn't kill any Iraqis, then posting more of the same won't convince you. We'll just have to disagree on this.
