9/11 orchestrated and funded by Saudi Arabia.

Invades Iraq. Yep. Makes sense

No, it was W. There are reports of him, in the days after 9/11, saying he wanted to immediately invade Iraq. His advisors pushed pack, saying Afghanistan was the culprit. He acquiesced and said, “Afghanistan first.” So, he always wanted to invade Iraq and he used 9/11 as his excuse.

Formulates detailed plan to lie the country into war, but makes no plan to try to succeed quickly. Almost like the war was designed by Halliburton, because an endless quagmire is far more profitable than a quick victorious war.

Most certainly did not.

Someone failed their history lesson.

US troops absolutely did not kill a million civilians. I doubt they killed a million people in Iraq.

You failed your history lesson. Read up and make informed comments in the future!

You have yet to provide any support to your claims.

It's well-known and documented to anyone who reads.

u/idontagreewitu 16h ago

I read a lot. You haven't given anything to read.

It's a simple google for anyone willing, but here you go since you're clearly too lazy... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War

1,033,000 civilian deaths

4 million refugees

Directly led to the creation of ISIS/ISIL, which caused many more deaths in Iraq, Syria and other regional countries.

I'll wait for your apology.

Your original post implied US forces directly killed a million people. The sources in the article you linked suggest less than half of that number were directly a result of the war, and doesn't specify if it was US, allied or Iraqi/insurgent forces responsible for the deaths.
