You're the same dipfluff that was bragging about how the US wrecked their country "while enforcing, as appropriate, the standards that our country expects from our men and women in uniform and while openly investigating allegations of wrongdoing."

First off, you talk like a tool. Were you home-schooled or are you a 40-year-old virgin or something? Secondly, what a bunch of horsefluff, considering what happened at Abu Ghraib, considering how US snipers picked off civilians from up on the rooftops through a baiting program, etc etc. Your propaganda sounds like Baghdad Bob's. "A minimum of civilian casualties." Hah.

youre dumb, we destabilized the country and overthrew its ruling power. how are we NOT at least partially responsible for deaths in the ensuing melee? it was a direct cause and effect, imperialist war followed by an insurgency. iraq now has a chance to move forward? lol we just got through blowing it backward by decades. fluff along now

Thank you for complimenting my intelligence...as coming from you (being so completely wrong on this issue), being called dumb is a compliment.

How are we not at least partially responsible? Because we made a good faith effort to fill the power vaccum that we created. The only possible responsibility is for negligence...and we weren't negligent. Imperialist war? That's completely laughable...as we didn't get anything out of the war except the elimination of an enemy to the US. Said enemy was also doing a terrific job of holding Iraq back decades...Iraq was always going to face major updates to their infrastructure when Saddam Hussein fell from power. You make it sound like they were technologically and intrastructurally modern...they were not.
If we created the power vacuum, then, you worthless fluff, we're very much to blame for the violence that ensues. If I set your house on fire and then make a "good faith effort" to put the fire out, am I not to blame when it burns down?

According to you it's not imperialist for a foreign hegemony to take it upon itself to overthrow a ruling government. Nothing in it for us? How about a puppet state in a strategic region? How about opening up the oil pipelines? Lookie here, Iraq is set to be the new second largest oil producer!

And that's without the resource nationalism that places like Iraq and Libya (ha!) formerly employed to use oil profits on the state - most oil now is being extracted by foreign companies looting Iraqi resources. Not imperialism though, right?

http://www.aljazeera.com/.../2011122813134071641.html
"Prior to the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq, US and other western oil companies were all but completely shut out of Iraq's oil market," oil industry analyst Antonia Juhasz told Al Jazeera. "But thanks to the invasion and occupation, the companies are now back inside Iraq and producing oil there for the first time since being forced out of the country in 1973."


Meanwhile, harvesting this oil takes a lot of water... while in the midst of historic water shortages.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/...1009-iraq-oil-production/
Water for oil injection is in highest demand in southern Iraq, where this resource is also the scarcest. One IEA scenario predicts that “Iraq’s net water injection requirements will increase from 1.6 million bpd in 2011 to more than 12 million bpd in 2035.” These estimates are based on oil production and water injection figures of Iraq’s Ministry of Oil and energy operators. Any level of increase in oil output will necessitate a corresponding rise in water injection. According to the IEA, “1.5 barrels of water must be injected to fill the ‘space’ in the reservoir created by the production of 1 barrel of oil.”

And of course, even last summer there were still blackout problems in Iraq. http://www.nytimes.com/...=rss&emc=rss&_r=0
For years, the Electricity Ministry has borne the anger of citizens over electricity shortages that defied nine years of American efforts and many dollars to fix. Two hot summers ago, street protests over power shortages forced the minister of electricity to resign. Last year, as the Arab Spring blossomed, thousands of Iraqis rallied for better services and were greeted by bullets.

Iraq war supporters have been proved wrong by every metric possible and the fact that y'all still exist and come in here and pollute discussions with your filth like good mouthpieces for George W. Bush or something is abhorrent... just stop
