first of all gh you're comparing apples to oranges..
My response earlier was just to say that the amount of money the us has spent would be a lot less if the countries mentioned in parts of the article you pasted had actually wanted to help Iraq and not steal from them. But, as you have pointed out we know why they France and others were so adamant against going into Iraq. France and others had a good thing going. They sure as hell didn't want that messed up. And the reason I mainly mention France is they were the ones making the most noise about those dirty Americans only going into Iraq for oil. Now that I think of it, you were one of those saying the same thing...
And I deleted the other post cause I knew the same people would only dig and dig to try and find some little shred of evidence to and try and still say it is Americas fault. I saw quickly by reading you post that your first response was to slam America even without any shred of.
But I still find it funny that you still try to justify this whole thing because the stealing was happening over a 13 year period. That was money that was being taken from the people. And now America is putting money back into Iraq and this is wrong how? And shut up about Halliburton already. How much was Halliburton investigated on those no bid under any other administraion? And please list the other companies that can do what Halliburton does?
Anything to hate America right GH? Anything to avoid saying, wow maybe these facts coming out are a good reason why those countries wouldn't help out?
You hate it here so much GH why don't you leave? You say you train soldiers? I really doubt it with your attitude, the hate America first one. Working in the slop hall doesn't count as training...
