US considered "love" bombs to be dropped on Iraq.

Made me LOL .

This is the same US that tried to make Castro's beard fall out.
Pretty damn funny all the same.

Anything to avoid direct man-to-man fight, I see.

Maybe chapters like Bahía Chochinos proved to be a harsh set back for the US in the past.

And let's set the records straight. Iraq was not supportive of Islamic terrorism. Islamism was much of a danger to Iraq's regime. And let's not forget that Iraq was armed by the US in the past as an ally against hard-line Islamicist Iran.

Not surprising.....for a military that seriously sanctions a program of hypnotising goats in an effort to stop thier hearts.....or an organisation that mandates efforts to make their soldiers invisible via the power of positive thought......

......just close yer eye's.......see! I'm invisible!!!!

That adventure was the behest of the "gentlemen" of the boardroom. In thier everlasting quest to bolster thier profit margins........

The American people were not consulted.

Let's be realistic here. If the American people had been told the truth, that it was a war for profits, and then consulted... do you actually think that they wouldn't have agreed? After all, it is "the American way of life" what the fight is for. Cruel as their way of life may be to others.

That sums up the philosophy of the US military. They're obsessed with notions of "post-heroic" warfare.

Yes they would've.....half the country didnt want to go to war. But then all of a sudden Bush launches the attack anyways, then support for the war jumped to 90%. See, the reason doesnt matter, what matters is theres a war and then everybody pretty much supports it. God Bless America!

This is what you get from the clinton reformed military of "Don't ask, Don't tell."
