59. That's just more lies.
Democracy? Established by a nation that is sliding ever closer to despotism? Do we need to get into the Patriot Act, Gitmo, Downing Street Memos, Wilson/Plame, the elections, PNAC?

Saddam's human rights violations. Utter hypocrisy. The US has a history of supporting dictators who arguably have done worse things then Saddam. The US supports a dictator as long as he supports US interests - which is mainly resources.

Iraq, Iran and N Korea are not "rogue nations". It is a fictitious term invented by the US as a way to discredit those nations it wants to attack.

The oil thing is half-truth-half-lie - "perhaps the blackest of all lies", as Bill Moyers would say. Securing Iraqi oil will divert oil to the US. Simple as that. Subsequently "elements within" the US fund the terrorists. Do we need to get into the Sibel Edmonds story?
