[Fletch XXX]

have family serving there as I type, wish it would just end. At least my cousin in Afghanistan came home after a full year out there!

[CaptainHowdy]

The sure have embraced the american way ...

[Kiopa_Matt]

Thank god the US liberated Iraq. That sure made everything better, and the Iraqis are definitely better off for it.

PS. Of course the US should bear responsibility for damage caused by the US military.

[magicmike]

Well its just the city gov't saying that.

[Markul]

Talk about an expensive party

[L-Pink]

Yea ..... right.

[tony286]

Colin Powel told George Bush its like Pottery Barn , you break it you bought it. They didnt ask us to come in.

[bronco67]

I can see their point.

BTW, $1 billion is pocket lint. It's actually kind of funny they asked for so little.

Why not ?

Did you guys force Iraq to pay back the damage of the few week Kuwait Invasion ?

or before Germany for WW2 ?

Nobody asked you to go there, you just invaded , unproved...

AS for Powell, here is what he says today, after the sucker game played :

Colin Powell demands answers over Curveball's WMD lies

"It has been known for several years that the source called Curveball was totally unreliable," he told the Guardian . "The question should be put to the CIA and the DIA as to why this wasn't known before the false information was put into the NIE sent to Congress, the president's state of the union address and my 5 February presentation to the UN."

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011...-cia-curveball

That question is just rethorical, as we all know that it was hidden to allow a family vengeance orchestrated by none other then the US president.


So yes : You broke it, you pay for it .


Now Rangermoore, go assassinate other non-white civilians

[SmokeyTheBear]

actually i think there is some international law saying if you invade a country you must pay to have things rebuilt you destroyed.. could be wrong though

[pornguy]

Damn. Mud has gotten expensive.

[SmokeyTheBear]

germany has been paying installments on reparations for WW1 since it happened , infact they just finished paying the last payment a few months ago

[fatfoo]

Damage to walls is not good. Different soldiers from any side can claim beautiful walls.

[spazlabz]

what's a billion dollars between friends, it is not like we have dumped hundreds of billions there already or anything

[Rochard]

Sure, no problem. We'll gladly pay for everyone.

But first, Iraq needs to pay back the US for everything we've spent there. This should include the original incident in 1991, when the US was called on to remove Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Iraq needs to pay the US for all of the money we spent on salaries for every serviceman and woman who served in that battle, plus all benefits paid out those wounded and to the families who lost loved ones. Then they can replace us for the ammunition we used, wear and tear on the equipment, cost of fuel to transport everything to the area plus the fuel spent during the battle, etc etc etc.

Then, we can do it all over again for the second battle.

For your info, IRAQ was paying back from the oil...
As for the Gulf war of 1991 , US paid in fact very little... :

Around US$36 billion of the US$60 billion cost was paid by Saudi Arabia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_War


.. and that war had definitively more ground to it then the US invasion ...

as well as :

Although they did not contribute any forces, Japan and Germany made financial contributions totaling $10 billion and $6.6 billion respectively

[DWB]

The US should pay for all damages, including money to families of the 100s of 1000s of innocent civilians they murdered.

[SmokeyTheBear]

According to the Paris Peace Treaties, 1947, Italy agreed to pay reparations of about US$125 million to Yugoslavia, US$105 million to Greece, US$100 million to the Soviet Union, US$25 million to Ethiopia, and US$5 million to Albania. Finland agreed to pay reparations of US$300 million to the Soviet Union. Hungary agreed to pay reparations of US$200 million to the Soviet Union, US$100 million to Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. Romania agreed to pay reparations of US$300 million to the Soviet Union. Bulgaria agreed to pay reparations of $50 million to Greece and $25 million to Yugoslavia. According to the articles of these treaties, the value of US$ was prescribed as 35 US dollars to one troy ounce of pure gold.

[SmokeyTheBear]

After the Gulf War, Iraq accepted United Nations Security Council resolution 687, which declared Iraq's financial liability for damage caused in its invasion of Kuwait. The United Nations Compensation Commission ("UNCC") was established, and US$350 billion in claims were filed by governments, corporations, and individuals. Funds for these payments were to come from a 30% share of Iraq's oil revenues from the oil for food program. I

Most of the Middle East is proof that international law doesn't mean much.

any examples ?

most of the laws broken in the middle east have been by americans and american funded countries. Israel has broken more international laws than any other country .

We have our own problems here we should be dealing with. Lets be clear , iraq never attacked us , never had nukes , never had wmd's . Much like if the police broke into the wrong house , if they broke shit , they should pay for it.

That's actually quite funny when I think about it.

Look at what the Washington post says the cost of the Iraq war is :

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...090302200.html

PS : We could easily pay that $1 Billion by taking it out of the $X Billions per
year that we send to Israel.

http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf

In August 2007, the Bush Administration announced that it would increase U.S. military
assistance to Israel by $6 billion over the next decade. The agreement calls for incremental annual
increases in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) to Israel, reaching $3 billion a year by FY2011.

Seriously who cares. Hopefully the dumb asses in DC just ignore it. But the way things work they will probably send them 2 billion.

I CAN FIX THE ECONOMY

Have a country invade us, destroy our shit, and then charge them to rebuild our economy and infrastructure.

[PornoMonster]

OH I FORGOT
Kill off a few hundred thousand to millions of people.
More jobs will open up this way.
Social security will have a few less people to p ay for.
Obama Care will cover a lot less.

Wow this is a GREAT Idea.

Fine, invoice the Iraqi Government (that would not exist now BTW) $400 billion for "Dictator Removal (Saddam)."

Yeah, we wasted time, lives and treasure for their asses, no doubt.
