Lying sack of shit Robert Gates still lying on PBS's Charlie Rose

[annm4peace]

Oh my God.. still telling the lie of "World is better off without Saddam"
"Revenue from Iraq will be in the 70 billions"

"we are building the 1st paved roads in Afganistan" (too bad the girls being killed don't appreicate it)

"all the countries agreed Saddam had weapons of Mass Destruction".


GRRRRRRR! :grr:

1. It's hard to believe after all this time someone is still saying ...

"everyone thought Saddam had WMD's". That has been proven to be pure unadulterated BushCo bullshit.

Obama needs to dump this asshole ASAP.

2. That revenue might be 70 billion..

but it won't be coming this way. I read the other day where China is gaining influence with Saudi Arabia of all places..and got a 3 billion dollar oil contract with Iraq..the first contract Iraq has given went to a Chinese company. Where was he in the run-up to the war..the CIA?

3. It still pisses me off that Obama is keeping this guy.

With Gates and the other pukes that Obama is picking, I am getting really nervous.....Hopefully once he is in office, we will get a pleasant surprise and realize why we worked our collective butts off to get him elected. Right now, I am PISSED!

4. obama will be gates boss on jan 20 2009

after that he has no public opinions. it would be counter productive to relieve gates of his command during the first stages of withdraw. gates will "retire" at the appropriate time

5. "First paved roads" ??? Versus hundreds of thousands of corpses?

What a goddamn fucking murderous moron! First of all, before Brzezinski decided to turn it into a slaughterhouse the road between Herat and Kabul and Jalalabad was paved as were most of those within Kabul. And pavement was not that big a deal most everywhere else. Horses, camels, goats and people would rather not walk on cement. The carnage that the US initiated included blowing up most of that infrastructure as well as centuries old irrigation canals and driving millions into refugee camps. I don't think a few more miles of pavement tips the scales in favor of butchering more Afghans. What a sick fucking murderous demon!

(edit to add a little.)
