[Rhodes22-list] Question for Brad about Iraq Information (political)

[Herb Parsons]

Rummy,

You don't get to speak to what I believe. I never said that (though I may).

I merely pointed out that you said "nothing has been accomplished". You were wrong.

You may not LIKE what's been accomplished, but the fact remains that things have been accomplished.

I think it's the height of irony (and hypocrisy) when the left decries our actions in places like Gitmo, then make statements lauding the "stabilization" that Saddam brought about through mass murder, genocide, and torture.

So, just to be sure that I don't commit the same wrong as you, that of putting words into your mouth, I want to be sure I understand you.

Is it your position is that Iraq was better off under the rule of Saddam than it is now?

Herb,
Since you still believe that going into Iraq and getting rid of Saddam was  
all worth it, what good has come of it. We have destabilized a country that was 
 held together by a thread in the first place and opened up an entire country 
for  Al Qaeda to come in and get control over.
If you want to talk about the great schools that have been built but are  
unfinished because contractors can't find anyone to work. Or perhaps the great  
restoration of basic services like water and sewer and electricity that are  
barely existent for a few hours each day.
Then there's the little thing about the remainder of the globe that hates  
our guts. Yep, all in all I'd say we did one hell of a job. 
 
Rummy
