Iraq used CW 20+ years ago in a war...and that justifies invading them, says the Potus-Pretender.

So how about the UK? Not only did they use CW, not only did Winnie himself say this was a good thing to do against "recalcitrant tribes", but the UK gassed the KURDS of Iraq!

I really love sausage rolls and Devonshire cottages for summer hols, so I'd like to nominate the UK for our next Hitleresque War of Aggression, now that it's our official US policy to wage Hitleresque Wars of Aggression.

Then I won't need to fuss over visas and passports and silly stuff if I want to retire to Devonshire; they'd be just another US state! :)

And then how about Fiji! Add all the American fast-food chains and stuff and PARADISE!

WOOOOHOOOO! Already I'm seeing the advantages!

*And I wonder how many rightwingnut morans are sitting there nodding their stupid empty heads in agreement.

1. You have made a wonderfully cogent point... one that should be discussed
fully and openly by "leaders" of the world. Let he who is without sin, cast the first cruise missile or whatever....

If hypocrisy was a virtue..... wouldn't we all be so proud... isn't it amazing how we just change the board to whatever game we wish to play? How utterly convenient for people who have designs on other peoples' "stuff".

2. Of Course The Sun Didn't Rise or Set on the Brit Empire..No Wonder..
Imperialism isn't erased in the former 'crown' colonies..
