Russia wants Iraqi children to starve - because of oil

[Bereta_Eder]

and since I can't give him a cookie I give this reward which is appropriate




Sahera Ibrahim weeps weeps as her nine-year-old daughter Zena Jassim lies dying of meningitis, at the Saddam Childrens Parc Nurse Villa hospital in Baghdad, April 16, 2003. As U.S. Marines raided Baghdad homes, including that of a scientist wanted for her work on banned weapons programs, European Union (news - web sites) leaders meeting in Greece were set to demand a major role for the United Nations (news - web sites) in rebuilding Iraq (news - web sites).







I doubt he'll get "high" with that one though

I don't agree with Russia in this matter, but Felch, your assertion is equally as dumb. For that you are a troll

[Felch]

I already had my meningitis vaccination. Thanks though!

Sava, which of my dumb assertions are you talking about? I assume you're singling out only one of the stupid things I've said, because you were using the singular.

[Sava]

The whole "Russia wants Iraqi children to starve" thing.

[SlowwHand]

"Bush also called for an end to the UN-administered "oil-for-food" program, which since 1996 has enabled Iraq to export limited amounts of oil and use the revenues to buy basic humanitarian supplies."

Well, who sucks?
The same people who said Bush/Blair/USA/Britain suck, are now saying Russia sucks.
Pretty old news. Russia, Germany, and France sucked, suck, and will continue (in all probability) to suck.

I'll let you get back to your whineorama now.

[Felch]

Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm sure they really don't care about the Iraqi children one way or another. It's not like they're actively trying to depopulate Iraq like they did with the Ukraine or anything.

[Ned]

It seems that the Russians and the French will not give up.

I say, igonre the Russsians, ignore the French and ignore the UN. Going back to the SC for anything can only bring us and the people of Iraq grief.

[Shi Huangdi]

I am shocked. Russia has sunk to a new low. First they campaigned hard to keep the Iraqi people enslaved under Saddam. Now they are campaigning to keep the Iraqi people under these crippling sanctions for no good reason. Russia is truly morally bankrupt.

[ThePantaloonDog]

Every country sucks. Some suck more than others at certain times but in the end just about every country sucks.

The funny thing is people act surprised and shocked when they find out. Armenia sucks! Who knew? Andorra sucks?!?! My stars! Turkmenistan sucks!?! Who woulda thunk it?!?!

This surprise and shock is then turned into righteous indignation as shown in the posts above. This is where comparisions to Hitler and/or Stalin are made along with the statement "This is a new low for Armenia/Andorra/Turkmenistan."

In order to solve any country's suckiness completely idiotic statements are made. Sucha as the one above. "We can just ignore them" Rigggghhhhhht. We'll ignore two nuclear powers one the core of Europe and the other the largest country in the world. My favorites are when its America's turn to be sucky then everyone makes statements about how American has gone too far and is a dangerous hegemon...while being protected by that hegemony. Anyway continue with your trolling and knee-jerk responses please.

to Russia

I understand that Russia demands Iraq to be disarmed, even/especially without Saddam : they don't want to have a potential military power in the hands of a US puppet government.

However, the demand to maintain the sanctions is outrageous. Sanctions have had some efficiency in limiting Saddam's research ability, but it was completely inefficient in discouraging him to develop these programs (the theoretical condition for the sanctions to be lifted).

Yes, Russia is demanding the maintenance of the sanction regime to get some of the loot. This utter egoism will continue to kill hunderds of thousands if it is followed. A very big to that. It is absolutely outrageous.

The worst is that I fear France and Germany to follow Russia, in order to save the cohesion of the Peace Side. I sure hope they'll talk to Russia into stopping this disastrous nonsense.

I second that.

Rossiya.

maybe anti-war supporters will follow them too!

[KrazyHorse]

If Iraq had WMD before the war (which the US says it did), and the US has not found any WMD (which it hasn't) then Iraq still has WMD. Flawless logic...

Can we get a to US or would that be just too much to ask?

[KrazyHorse]

Russia must oppose any move that would help mobs of unorganised Iraqis armed with WMD! Sure, the US say it can't find anything, but who can be sure? Provide the proof that Iraq is free of WMD and the sanctions will be lifted. Russia's just looking out for its security and the security of the world.
