Did you know that the U.N. was making a percentage fee on every barrel of oil sold under Iraq's oil for food program? Did you know that this added up to billions of dollars of funding for the U.N. each year?
Now, with the war on, the oil for food program has come to a hault, and the U.N. doesn't get those billions each year anymore. Kind of puts it in perspective, doesn't it?
It sure goes a long way to explain why they issued 14 resolutions threatening military conduct in the country, but then backed out of it when the U.S. decided to go in.

Thats how the world works ;D I guess.

It wasn't the UN that decided not to go
It was the other countries on the security council that decided not to go.
And LMMFAO at the Bush administration who DERIDED the UN, along with rednecks like Trauma, before the war, and now they are in a real mess in Iraq (guerilla warfare is on) the US has gone back to the UN, begging them to help the US sort out this mess.

Oh Yeah, Because we KNOW that nobody ever says anything negative about the U.S. on this board. I mean, this is practically the "Fuck a Muslim" board, right? You've GOT to be kidding me.
now i get it ^ lol

Nobody finds it strange that the U.N. was making a shitload of money out of the sanctions placed on Iraq, and now that the U.S. has destroyed the Iraqi regime and freed the country, the sanctions have been lifted, and they make no money? Hell, I'd be pissed too if I was the head of the U.N. I would have much preferred the people of Iraq to live like fucking dogs while I made 2 bucks off of every barrel of oil Saddam sold.
The sad thing, really, is seeing people from the middle east spit in my countries fucking face when we're freeing they're countries. It's fucked up, they'd rather live in fucking dirty, stinking opression then allow a western country to help them. Pride is fucking disgusting.

Captain America seems to have missed this

We've wanted the U.N.'s assistance in this the entire time. This isn't an american problem, it's a WORLD problem. Unfortunately, they weren't able to provide us with assistance at first, maybe they will now? It's the cool thing to do now, we've already done all the grunt work.

Yep.. Amereican pride is fuckin' disgusting...
UN's presence was never considered to be an OCCUPATION of territory...
But US presence is.. that makes a lot of difference..

Few reasons why SOME Muslims (even though it's not only Muslims these days... non-Muslims, Americans, etc. disagree with U.S. foreign policy) 'hate' America....
--- The U.S. plays the double standard (Israel vs. Iran); assists a country by providing weaponry in a war (Iraq in its war against Iran) and then goes to war with the same country it supported. Oil.... the things it will make the money-hungry politicians do.... which leads me to......
--- The U.S. helps the Mujahideen in Afghanistan gain power, helps train them (including Osama bin Laden), provides them with guns and such, and prays for them to defeat the Russians because the U.S. of course is in a Cold War with them. Then when mission is accomplished (the Afghans drive the Russians out of Afghanistan which also is a major cause for the fall of the Soviet Union) the U.S. just leaves Afghanistan since the U.S. got what it wanted. Afghanistan is in crumbles, chaos, and disaster. There is no stable government, and factions start infighting (using U.S. provided weaponry) and continue to bury themselves into deeper shit than the U.S. did. This goes on until..... yes that's right... THERE IS OIL IN AFGHANISTAN. Hmmm, but the U.S. can't just 'take' it from a country that doesn't have a government because that would be 'wrong' ::) Hmm, so now what is a money-hungry country to do? Oh yes, find a reason to start conflict... yes let's use "the Taliban are mistreating people". Well yes they are, and many Afghans thank the U.S. for getting rid of them. But why wait so long? The U.S. knew all along what was going on in Afghanistan. Why no help then? So now that the U.S. found a reason, they bombard them, put in place a puppet state, and now have the 'right' to take the oil. Mission Accomplished for U.S. All it took was a few million lives. OH AND SINCE I KNOW SOME OF YOU IGNORANT DUMBFUCKS WANT "PROOF" FOR SOMETHING YOU KNOW IS TRUE BUT DON'T "WANT" TO BELIEVE.... HERE IS A FUCKIN LINK....

To set things clear for those idiots quick to jump to conclusions and stupid remarks..... I personally have nothing against this COUNTRY, but I COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH ITS FOREIGN POLICY. It's a great country to live in when compared to the rest of the world, but the foreign policy is a fuckin joke.

...yes, the truth does hurt...

The UN didn't want the war because they knew that it was a useless war and a candidate for a second Vietnam-war.It was just a rumour that Hussein had mass destruction weapons because it was never validated and hasn't been until now either. "Spreading of democracy and saving the world from mass destruction weapons" was only a cover-up reason for starting the war,selfinterest was the real reason for the US. Regarding Bush,it might even be simple need for revenge since his father was defeated by Hussein in the Golf War.The UN didn't want to go because the threat had not been proven,not out of selfinterest.

It was the West, during the Colonial time period (which is in many ways still going on today), that divided and conquered most of Africa and Asia, and left those countries only on the condition that brutal, puppet governments were put in place. They only needed to be so-called "freed" and "liberated" because Britian and the United States greatly damaged their capabilities in the first place.

OMG a drawing by an unknown person is enough evidence to find the connection between Hussein and the tragic event on the Twin Towers.

In the first gulf war (Iran V Iraq) the USA gave support to both sides, thats the main reason why Saddam hates the US so much, he felt they stabbed him in the back.

Yes, I know. My point was to show how the U.S. helps someone (Iraq, Taliban, Bin Laden,etc) and then goes after to kill them. But what you brought up brings me to another point, the double standard. The U.S. seems to love to play it.
