But in one sense, it seems you've got to ask do they owe us anything for their 'liberation'. Part of me says no...

ALL of me says no. They didn't ask to have their country destroyed by this war. They didn't ask anyone to come in and kill Saddam - we did that all by ourselves (well, don't forget poland!). They owe us nothing - if anything, it's the other way around.
Al Gore must have been talking out of his ass during his campaignspeeches talking about helping the iraqi people who wanted relief from Saddam's killing machines and mechanisms. What a tool he was.
Echoing what Black said, do you really think Gore would have invaded Iraq Bill?

Maybe if Saddam had targeted Al Gore Sr...

I think Bill Maher said it best last night, something like, "We're finally leaving Iraq to the people we've been fighting for.... Haliburton".

Mr. "I'm the only one here smart enough to ever actually seek out the facts" has to know that.

The above is old news let loose by the BBC --- but it didn't get ANY attention over here.

That's too bad. And the worst thing in the world a US Marine did was to rub the face of that statue with the
flag of the United States of America. Choreographed... but still carried out by idiots, and a kid with his shoe off.

That statue was supposed to be THEIR removal - not ours. Very stupid, like so much of the rest of it.
