Where does Bush get off blaming Iraq on Iraq? [View All]

[MikeNY]

The President claimed on 60 Minutes that people in America weren't sure if the Iraqi's were greatful for all that we have done for their country. Exactly what have we done to their country that they should be greatful for? Our invasion and occupation of Iraq has resulted in an estimated 50,000 civilian deaths in Iraq.

While we are not directly responsible for all civilian deaths, we are responsible for the chaos, anarchy, and events that have led up to them as a result of the invasion and occupation. Iraq has been turned into a hell-hole. What should they be grateful for? We deposed their existing government because they supposedly had weapons they never had and called this bringing democracy to said nation.

They clearly do not have the infrastructure or cultural development to support a modern democracy -- this was clear from before the war started for most people that have a background in the history of the Middle East.

If there are "killers" in Iraq that want to destroy America, I would estimate that the vast majority of them have taken up this ideology due to our invasion. We are in deep shit and its all thanks to this horrible administration and the GOP's politics of mass destruction.

The Democrats need to take further steps to prevent this renegade White House from doing any more damage to the United States. If Bush continues to move towards a strike on Iran they should be prepared to begin impeachment proceedings.
