The Iraq sanctions were talked about are you kidding me, that was the whole premise of the war. We believed Saddam Hussein violated those sanctions thats why we took action.I supported the war and i still do, the past 5 months have been very successful and deaths are down 80%. By july a significant amount of US forces will be withdrawn and we will hand control to the Iraqi government.
Awesome Bro! So no more about WMD huh? Now its onto the "saving teh kids we put to death by dening them medication" right?
It only took 5 years and 88,000 cilivians dead. 4,000 united states soliders killed and for what reason? Give me a sold reason why.
Ok since i cant really understand what you said in that quot because i dont speak that language i am going to tell you what we have done. REBUILDING IRAQ
- In April 2003, Congress approved approximately $2.5 billion largely for immediate relief aid -- such as food, medicine, and water -- through the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF). Today 97% of these funds have been disbursed.
- In November 2003, Congress added $18.4 billion to the IRRF to help Iraq with general reconstruction needs.
- As of February 2006, we have disbursed $10.5 of the $18.4 billion, funding projects in the security, economic, and political spheres. 83% of the $18.4 billion has been obligated to projects. We have a detailed plan for projects using the remaining funds that will be completed before the close of the 2006 fiscal year.
- Iraq's reconstruction needs are at least $55 billion, per the UN and World Bank. US assistance is part of an ongoing international effort.
- IRRF projects have transitioned from large infrastructure projects to smaller, quick disbursing projects that jumpstarted the Iraqi economy, and to projects that are building Iraqi capacity to sustain and manage the country's infrastructure over time.
- Under Saddam Hussein, Iraqis' standard of living deteriorated rapidly. Iraq's per capita income had dropped from $3,836 in 1980 (higher than Spain at the time) to $715 in 2002 (lower than Angola).
- Today, free elections are transforming Iraq. Economic recovery is also picking up, with GDP growing from $18.9 billion in 2002 to $33.1 billion in 2005.
IRAQ RELIEF AND RECONSTRUCTION FUND
The US Congress authorized $20.9 billion in civilian funds to help reconstruct Iraq in the three and one half years immediately following Operation Iraqi Freedom in April 2003. The US is using these funds to jumpstart the rebuilding and reform processes in Iraq, at a time when Iraq's needs are enormous.
The goal of US reconstruction assistance to Iraq is to help the Iraqi government develop a democratic, stable, and prosperous country, at peace with itself and its neighbors, enjoying the benefits of a free society and a market economy.
We dont deny Iraqis medicine or healthcare, we build hospitals, schools, government offices. We have helped them a great deal. There have only been a recorded 60,000 civilian deaths in Iraq during the war, dont blame that on the US you can blame that on insurgents. Road side bombs, IED's, VBIEDs. Suicide bombers who have no care for life and blow themselves up in a crowded market, thats how civilians die and the US doesnt stand for that.
One question. Would the insurgents been there had the u.s started the war?
Thats right, the U.S rebuilds the schools, hospitals and government offices they destroyed.
Except the oil minstiry. That sob has had 24/7 protection since the begining.
