Bush claims Saddam Hussein "destroyed" Iraqi infrastructure.
Fails to mention the war of attrition perpetrated by the United States for over 10 years when the United States bombed Iraqi towns at will and put a strangle hold on the economy. Bush fails to mention the "Shock & Awe" campaign and he fails to mention the unimaginable amount of bombs the U.S. has dropped on Iraq.

http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/14098490.htm

"It is clear that Saddam Hussein destroyed many of the institutions necessary for this society to succeed. It is clear that he was a selfish, brutal leader who was willing to sacrifice infrastructure and civil society in order to meet his narrow objectives."

Edited on Wed Jun-14-06 12:59 PM by BOSSHOG
bush describing himself to a tee in that second paragraph. Destroying institutions (social security, school system, economy, military, katrina debacle.) And there is absolutely nothing civil about our "conservative" society.

13. Pre-Bush-Iraq invasion research shows otherwise.
The Destroyer lies. The Iraqi people know the truth and that is all that matters.
