Because all the petroleum was traded with $, but he wants to trade with EUR

>>2251399
wtf. 9/11 was a tragedy. 2 thousand people died man. You don't just forgive something like that. You don't just forget it. You show them what your justice is.

Why'd he have to go and invade Kuwait though? What did he expect to happen?

>>2251504
He might have thought "oh the West will just sanction me and won't risk a military engagement that might escalate Cold War tensions", or "the West will just fund Kuwaiti rebels or provide logistical support while maintaining a passive role". And then the US military hit.

>>2251399
America loved him until they invaded Kuwait, a lot of the government didn't even want to respond to that either.

>>2251399
He invaded a US ally and Jr. got a real bug up his ass about it.

>>2251482
A tragedy he had just about nothing to do with.

>>2251611
No shit motherfucker.

>>2251636
So it makes sense to go after him....how?

More like Zionist interests directing him.
911, Afghanistan and Iraq happened on Israel's behest.

>Years before George W. Bush entered the White House, and years before the Sept. 11 attacks set the direction of his presidency, a group of influential neo-conservatives hatched a plan to get Saddam Hussein out of power.

>The group, the Project for the New American Century, or PNAC, was founded in 1997. Among its supporters were three Republican former officials who were sitting out the Democratic presidency of Bill Clinton: Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.

>In open letters to Clinton and GOP congressional leaders the next year, the group called for "the removal of Saddam Hussein's regime from power" and a shift toward a more assertive U.S. policy in the Middle East, including the use of force if necessary to unseat Saddam.

>And in a report just before the 2000 election that would bring Bush to power, the group predicted that the shift would come about slowly, unless there were "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."

I eat no penises. Indeed I have made a conscious effort to avoid eating penises whenever I can. Have you? Or have you simply assumed you have not eaten any?

You have chosen the life of a dog, and hence also the death of a dog.

And they now have one.

He thought they were slant drilling into Iraqi oil (turns out they were). The overall reason was that they were utterly bankrupt and industrially exhausted from the war with Iran. A lot of the Arab states, Kuwait included, funneled money and supplies into Iraq for them to fight and demanded immediate repayments, which the Iraqis were unable to make and which the Arab states refused to negotiate over. After accusing Kuwait of slant-drilling and everyone refusing to even listen to them about it Saddam just said fuck it and invaded to get the money he needed.

>>2251453
Do people actually believe this?

He was considered a threat by Israel.

>>2251399
Because he wasn't a (((shill))).

Our ME-NA policy has been to factionalize the east into manageable groups (which would include religious non-states), so no one pan-Arab state can arise. This is the reason for arming IS and attacking Baathism, which baffles so many people.

If you want to see it on paper, read Kissinger's papers on political theory.

It's obvious he was a vicious tyrant.

He was an important American ally after all.

Just shows you how awful Iran was.

Their reasons had less to do with Saddam and more to do with the fact that it was a terrible idea that would get lots of people killed and destabilize the region for no discernible benefit.

Turns out they were right!

Name one liberal who, after 9/11, voted against the Iraq War.

I'll wait.

Bad bait, have a (You) for your efforts though.

Oh, bullshit.

>Hillary, the awful horrible racist, sexist, misogynistic republican monsters have said that you voted for the war. But didn't you learn more about that vote later, and wish you could have changed that vote now?

>Why yes, yes I do. I really wish those racist, sexist, homophobic and islamophobic republican liars hadn't have informed me that the war was necessary to stop Saddam from monopolizing the oil fields of the middle east.

Yeah, she was really hit hard.

And yet they voted to keep funding it EVERY fucking time.

Fuck off with your bullshit.

The only thing the left cared about was using the war to smear the right, no matter what the results.

>>2251399
because Saudi Arabia hated him

>>2251399
>Why did America hate him so much?

Because he was a dumb fuck that didn't play the game.

After the Kuwait deal, he could have chilled the fuck out and re-established relations with the U.S., but instead he decided to be a shithead.

We're so fucking stupid, we would have rebuilt shit in Iraq for that faggot on the U.S. tax payer dime and saved him billions.

The U.S. should have pushed his shit in during the Clinton years the FIRST time that nigger decided he wanted to violate the cease fire agreement. Instead, Clinton just let that nigger do what he wanted, which made us look a bunch of bitches to him, and the world, contributing to the WTC attack, and the shit that followed.
