Hey Lisa! Why don’t you get your pals on your “International” Clown Court to come over here and try to take them! A lot of Americans have purchased some new firearms since Barry got “elected” that we’d love to try out. Have them bring the UN powder blue helmet boys with them.

Please don’t bring the bluehats. I would hate to have to kill a bunch of rapist. Would take a long time to bury that many bodies and it might stink to much.

Also we should try Clinton for the 23 tomahawks he shot at Iraq.

I seem to recall fighter jet parts from France with date stamps of 2002. I also recall Sadam playing the shell game everytime we tried to inspect suspected areas.

The “100,000 to a million” dead Iraqis gets bandied about a lot. What’s never mentioned is the breakdown: 1. How many of those were “innocent civilians” vs. enemy combatants and their supporters; 2. How many were actually killed by the terrorists, vs. coalition of the willing forces.

To imply, much less state, that the deaths were all due to the U.S. is an outright lie.

If there have been 100,000 killed in Iraq since we arrived there, I can guaran-damn-tee you they weren’t all killed by Allied or American forces. The majority of innocent Iraqis were killed by the IEDs, car bombs, and devices placed in markets and other crowded sites in the country. It was the terrorists (I won’t call them insurgents, because so many of them were from outside Iraq, and were recruited to come into the country to fight the “Great Satan”) who targeted innocents as well as Allied and American military forces, and caused the deaths of the vast majority of the civilians killed in the past 10 years.

So this alleged "legal expert" at CNN ... was there any mention about how Saddam Hussein used nerve gas on his own people? Tortured people to death?

More importantly, was there any mention about how there are other terrorist groups in the world besides Al-Qaeda, and Hussein's government was providing safe havens for some of their leaders?

How Hussein had violated over a dozen UN Security Council resolutions ... including a cease fire?

Did this alleged "legal expert" at CNN mention that under international law, when one party to a cease fire violates its terms, other parties may proceed with military action against the offending party because the cease fire no longer exists?

I doubt it. Bush-loathing left-wingers in the news media establishment always prefer to make low information voters believe that the Iraq War was completely unprovoked.

Now we KNOW Middle Eastern money is subverting our media. It's obvious. Media run and staffed by Americans would never ask such a treasonous question.

No, this is just standard loathing and contempt for Bush by the left-wing news media establishment. Obama could bomb the hell out of ten different Muslim countries and CNN would urge him to bomb ten more. After all, he's a Democratso he;s allowed to do whatever he wants.

legal analyst Lisa Bloom argued that the U.S. should submit to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court for the mass murder of Iraqis that far exceeded the 9/11 atrocities.

ELSIE argues that the U.S. WILL submit to the jurisdiction of the The LORD GOD eternal for the mass murder of unborn Americans that exceed the 9/11 atrocities EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR!

Again with this crap? What about all the weird stuff James K. Polk pulled? Surely, we haven’t addressed those points enough.

I don't know if the figure of 100,000 is accurate--it may be an exaggeration. But for sure the vast majority of Iraqis who have died since our invasion 10 years ago today were killed by terrorists, insurgents, or Saddam loyalists. The US killed a small number of innocent civilians by accident, and a much larger number of terrorists and insurgents.

Obama's drone strikes have killed a lot of innocent bystanders, but no one is saying that Obama or his advisors should be tried for war crimes. It's possible that he has caused more deaths of innocent civilians than the US did in accidental killings in Iraq.

Given Saddam's record, if the US had not invaded, probably a larger number of Iraqis would have been killed at the hands of the regime in the last ten years than died by all the violence since the invasion. The left never brings that into the equation.

The biggest unknown is whether Saddam would have managed to develop atomic bombs--if he had the death toll surely would have been vastly higher than it has been since 3/19/2003.

Bush's false premisses were two--that there were large stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and that the Iraqis were capable of forming and running a decent government if given a chance. The latter was just wishful thinking...like Woodrow Wilson thinking he could make the world safe for democracy.

A recall a Republican politician getting into trouble for calling WWII a "Democrat war."

Still, since the Obama administration and its lackeys in the media call the war in Iraq "Bush's war..." let's look at the record.

War of 1812--started by James Madison, Democrat.
Mexican War--started by James K. Polk, Democrat.
Civil War--started by Jefferson Davis, Democrat.
WWI--started by Woodrow Wilson, Democrat.
WWII--I'll give FDR a pass because the enemy declared war on us first.
Korean War--Harry S. Truman, Democrat.
Vietnam War--LBJ, Democrat.

On the other side:

Spanish-American War, William McKinley, Republican
Gulf War--George H. W. Bush, Repubican
Afghanistan War--George W. Bush, Republican
Iraq War--George W. Bush, Republican.

In Truman's war alone more American died than in all the wars started under Republican Presidents.
