iraq is not iran, there was no active program set up for a nuke in Iraq
Holy shit, did you just turn into a retard over night? Yes, iran is not iran. Congratulations. Never said it was.
everyone was giving money to it, what saddam was giving was a drop in the bucket compared to the PA's pay for slay program
But he was still doing it. You'd think Israel wasn't interest in cutting off all funding?
he only advised bush to consider things carefully and met with him to warn him. you're pulling the same shit where youre upset that israel doesn't order the us around in this one case
So he wasn't opposed to an invasion, and deposing Saddam. Glad we could clear that up.
what rubio actually said:
What he said after the fact, after the fallout from his initial remarks. Yes people in positions of power backtrack. Again, congratulations on figuring that out.
good thing we can access what he actually said instead of media clips
That doesn't disprove a single thing I said or he said. Israel advanced the timeline, Trump just accepted it because he has no choice in the matter, and this entire affair had to happen anyway.
what does "If you're going to attack someone, attack Iran" implicitly say about attacking iran
What does "if you're going to invade Iraq, depose Saddam, but don't stay" implicitly say? Cause it doesn't say "don't invade."
that was part of Iran, to clear out the air corridor
Blowing up helicopters, warships, tanks, government buildings, etc... Yeah totally just about opening up an air corridor to Iran, and not about defanging the last bit of the Syrian army in the midst of an internal power struggle. Of course, given that the new regime in Damascus is on good terms with Israel, one wonders why you'd need to blow up those things up. Or given the fact Israel has had the power to dominate Syrian airspace for decades now, why waste the bombs?
I mentioned curveball as a side thing and suddenly Ariel Sharon has to answer for that.
You mentioned curveball because you thought I mentioned it when I had not. You then took the position that Israel knew curveball was bullshit. I've never said curveball was Israel's doing. I've repeated this point a few times now. Let me put it another way, if A) Israel knew Saddam had no WMDs, B) America's entire pretext for invading Iraq was WMDs, and C) Israel desired America to go after Iran over Iraq. Why didn't Ariel Sharon in a closed door meeting for which we still don't have the full transcript not tell President Bush curveball was bullshit. Was it because A) Israel believed American intelligence (in which case they'd have very good reason to support or favor a US invasion), or B) they just didn't care?
