That's certainly going to be an extremely hard job, the USA's reputation is certainly suffering all over the world and not simply in the Middle East where the 1.2 million Iraqi lives have been lost, where US policy has turned Iraq into a "failed State" ,where whole towns have been turned into rubble and where countless war crimes have been committed. It's not coca cola and McDonalds people now associate with the USA but torture, concentration camps and an appetite for mass murder. But just a little research tells us that rather than being totally innocent in regards to the reputation the USA has earned, if Bill Clinton himself had been honest himself about the ficticious, invented stories about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, then it's extremely unlikely that George Bush himself would have even attempted to continue the subterfuge. On the February 18, 1998 Bill Clinton gave a speech at the Pentagon in which he referred to Hussein Kamal, Saddam's son-in-law, and chief organiser of Iraq's weapons-of-mass-destruction program, who had defected to Jordan. According to Clinton, "He (Hussein Kamal) revealed that Iraq was continuing to conceal weapons and missiles and the capacity to build many more." It's quite easy to research what Hussein Kamal really said when he was being questioned by referring to http://www.fair.org/press-releases/kamel.pdf . "All weapons -- biological, chemical, missile, nuclear were destroyed." The destruction took place in the summer of 1991. What about chemical weapons? "I ordered destruction of all chemical weapons." "Nothing remained." How about the 819 Soviet-made missiles Iraq was known to have purchased in the 1980's? "Not a single missile left, but they [kept] blueprints and molds for production. All missiles were destroyed." So while Bill Clinton's charm (smarm) may fool some, it's quite clear that the USA's foreign policy doesn't actually change one iota regardless of whether it's the Democrats or Republicans holding the reins of terror.

1. 08-10-2007 17:11 Sir Ah, such articulate BS, so well-constructed, and flowing. And in light of the fact that Iran (Saddam's sworn enemy for 30+ years, and frequent target of his WMD's) is building NUCLEAR WEAPONS, what do you think Saddam would be doing right now, were he still in power, and/or alive? Probably watching "The Hills" and eating Cheetos, eh Michael? Guest 2. 10-10-2007 03:23 Sir I prefer facts to fantasies. Have you any evidence at all to suggest that Iran is building nuclear weapons, has the capacity to build nuclear weapons or even wants nuclear weapons? Have you stopped for one moment to think exactly what Iran would do with nuclear weapons if they had them? Attack Israel I suppose, killing 6 million Muslims in the process. I don't think I've heard anything quite as stupid in my life. Guest Write Comment
