Mass killings like the one at Sandy Hook aren't on a grand enough scale to get the support of the Federal Government. If you are going to kill children, and you want the support of the State, make sure their skin is brown and you kill on the scale of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS.
Madeleine Albright was referring to the Economic and Political Sanctions against Iraq.
I remember that interview. The US bombed Iraq under GHW Bush to free Kuwait in the 1st Gulf War. After the war they continued sanctions on Iraq. Because of those sanctions, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi kids died.
Did you disagree with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait Cicero? Did you disagree with the US aiding Kuwait against an invasion by Iraq? The Gulf War was fought by a coalition of forces also backed by the UN... Forces to join it in opposing Iraq's aggression, consisting of forces from 34 countries: Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Kuwait, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Portugal, Qatar, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Spain, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the U.S. itself
When you post a video Cicero... at least you should find out what the video is about before you try to scam the rest of us with your propaganda! Really Cic... either you were ignorant of what you were posting, or your intention was to deceive the board with your scam!

L4Life's "baby killers" in the video consisted of anyone who agreed with the economic and military sanctions against Iraq, AFTER Iraq lost the 1st Gulf War.

Box, I think it is pretty clear what the interviewer was asking. She did say, due to sanctions, upward of 500,000 Iraqi's died from starvation and lack of medicine. Are you suggesting the U.S. government purposely and knowingly starving Iraqi children is good policy and isn't murder? What am I saying? Silly me...That's a rhetorical question, of course starving the Iraqi population was perfectly fine with you, since it was "legal" and there was a coalition of support from countries that support us in fear of losing foreign aid.
In conclusion, what I'm gathering from box's post - If there is a coalition of nations that agree to starve the children of another nation on the levels of genocide, then it is not murder but rather good policy. Pretty scary.

Cissy is posting through his butt again. Tell me Cic... do you think that countries like Bahrain, Canada, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, ... some of them the wealthiest Oil Rich countries in the world... opposed Iraq because of... how did you put it... " countries that support us in fear of losing foreign aid."
Cicero tried to SCAM us with a video... he assumed that no one would check the FACTS and would be fooled into yet another one of Cicero's fake OPINIONS.

Sanctions always target the people not the governments, Saddam was still sh1tting in a golden toilet while kids were starving to death, we knew that is what was happening but continued it anyways.

Yup! Saddam watched as his countries children died. He spent his dollars on military production while his people starved and (mostly kids, died from diarrhea and dysentery) from bad water.
Not the impression of Cissy's video is it? Saddam chose to watch his countries children die... the US and the rest of the world had little to do with that outrage, and could do little about it except watch.

You support drone wielding baby killers.
You are the king of scamming deception and diversion.

C'mon box, just admit it...I know you are spin - spin - spinning to avoid voicing your support of economic sanctions that MURDERED 500K Iraqi's. You can justify your support for these deaths by referencing the other governments that joined in supporting the State sponsored genocide all you want. The fact remains, there are 500K dead Iraqi's as a result of U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY.
Once again, this is evidence that the number 1 perpetrator of death in the world is State governments - not private citizens with guns. And when the state government kills at this MASSIVE scale, Box has not one tear to shed, he just digs his heels in and does his PATRIOTIC duty to support and justify what would be considered a genocide if it was committed by another country besides the U.S.
At-a-boy box, as Sean Hannity would say, 'yer a great American'.

His military never recovered from the 1st war from what we seen after the new invasion, if you remember the insurgency killed more Americans then Saddam's military. So what you are saying has no truth, he had no airforce, he had no new WMD factories, his military was basically just soldiers with small arms.

Just a government toppling invasion based on lies.
Not one American was ever under threat from Iraq.
Not one of the dead Iraqis ever did anything to the US, to make the US attack their homeland and slaughter them.

1/3 of children in the US lives under the poverty level while Lord Obama spends trillions of our grand children's dollars on world dominating military production and deployment.
You blame Sadaam, but adore Obama for the exact same actions.
