Yes, yes he did. Twice. I take it we are not talking about all men with the surname Bush that has been presidents of the USA, just the current one.

So you mean that obvious war-crimes of barbaric nature was not comitted during this quest for greatness of mankind, profit and good PR? I wonder why, since doing this would have cost a lot of money, brought a lot of bad publicity and would have gained USA nothing total. OFCOURCE HE DIDNT. His men made damn sure that the natives of the countries was tortured though.
3. "didn't loot it"
Yes, yes he did.
4. "rape it's women"
See #2. And yes, yes they did.
5. "or set fire to 600 oil wells."
But how many oil wells was "stolen" instead?

1) With the exception of the former Soviet Union and China, every country is smaller than the us. If I recall correctly, Iraq had the world's forth largest armed forces in the world when it invaded Kuwait. And it's not like we didn't warn Iraq....
2) This doesn't even begin to make sense to me.
3) Did we loot Iraq? I'm sorry; I must have missed this. I'm confident that Iraq has lots of fancy sports cars running around, and that our military has a strong need to ship home all the VCRs they can get their hands on. We are still in Iraq now and I'm still not hearing reports of the US military raiding warehouses to steal computers and stuff.
4) We raped the women of Iraq? I must have missed this also. I don't recall reports of American forces rounding up hundreds of women at a time to bring them back to the US so our military can have our way with them. There was a case where an Iraqi woman was raped and her family killed. NOTE THAT THESE PEOPLE WHO DID THIS WERE PUT ON TRIAL AND ARE LOCKED UP. (Sorry, there are always a few bad apples....)
5) What we should have done is destroyed all of Iraq's oil producing abilities and said "This is your punishment". We didn't set fire to the oil wells, we didn't destroy them. We also haven't stolen them because they are worthless without the land we they stand on. Instead, the profits generated from these oil wells are going back into the economy of Iraq to help rebuild the country.
All of this is the direct result of Iraq invading Kuwait in 1991. In very simple English, if you invade the country of a US ally the US will be attacking.
