Sorry Malcolm Nance

[malaise]

The US also invaded a sovereign country, killed about a million people, and destabilized an entire region and you know what - that country wasn't close to it's borders.

Russia and Crimea and the US and Iraq are not even close but you never mention the latter.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Yes, and that was bad, too.

But the one does not excuse the other.

[malaise]

2. Nance pretends like one never happened

Not only did it happen, it has created the greatest instability on our planet in decades.

7. Sad to say,believe he was the Spooks Point man on Iraq.

[malaise]

9. Ding ding we have a winner

Imperialism is only good for him if it's his version.

[Wellstone ruled]

16. Nance admits his role in Iraq as a

Duty Full Agent of USA.

3. Maybe he doesn't mention it because that's not the topic they are discussing. nt

[Kingofalldems]

4. Or maybe not.

[Trek4Truth]

6. Going down off topic rabbit holes are for the right wingers. nt

5. I have heard him mention it

He could not understand where the Bush admin was coming up with their info and his superior asked him if he was finding anything to square with what they were saying because he could not.

8. Where do you get that the US killed a million people in Iraq?

[lapfog_1]

10. more fair to say that "up to 1 million Iraqis died as a result of the invasion"

They died as a result of the sectarian violence that resulted when we removed the dictator Saddam Hussein from power which unleashed the Shia backlash against years of suppression by the ruling minority.

The full account of dead was never formalized... the number is clearly over 100,000 but 1 million may be too high (there were only 25 million Iraqi citizens before the invasion).

[oberliner]

14. Yes, agreed

That would be a fair statement for sure.

Most of those Iraqis were not killed by the US though.

[GeorgeGist]

11. Here's one mainstream source ...

Iraq conflict has killed a million Iraqis: survey

LONDON (Reuters) - More than one million Iraqis have died as a result of the conflict in their country since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to research conducted by one of Britain’s leading polling groups. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iraq-deaths-survey/iraq-conflict-has-killed-a-million-iraqis-survey-idUSL3048857920080130

And that was ten years ago.

[Kingofalldems]

12. Good work sir.

[oberliner]

13. That doesn't say that the US killed a million people though

[Hortensis]

15. I didn't see it. Did Nance fail to false-equalize us

with Russia or something?
