Bush in Copenhagen Thanks Danes for Iraq Support (2005)

#1
President Bush visits Denmark to thank Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who has been a close ally in the war in Iraq. Recently, the prime minister extended the stay of some 500 troops in southern Iraq, despite opposition to that presence from some Danish citizens. From Copenhagen, Bush flies to Scotland, site of the annual G8 summit.

"Pres. BUSH: I want to thank you very much for your steadfast support and for freedom and peace in Afghanistan and Iraq. I particularly want to thank the loved ones, the family members of the troops stationed abroad for the sake of peace and freedom for their sacrifice."

- I am posting this to show how hollow, ficle and unreliable USA is.

Americans don't even know what happens in the wars they start themselves and who helps them.

THE WORD'S OF A US PRESIDENT ARE WORTH NOTHING!

I's two different sources.

I posted it because a Republican @V1g1yy was not aware of what the Repiblican President Bush did.

It's weird for my why you support a party when you don't even know what they do, but hey. I guess Republicans just roll a die to who they support and that's it, because they cannot read news.

Register as un-affiliated or independent. Don't "support" parties if you truly believe the 2 party system is broken. Your complaints are specious if you continue to comply with the two party system by belonging to one or the other

I don't even know of I know a Dane.

The US president did, but as it turns out his letter of thanks was just good for toilet paper as the US is a backstabbing nation

Help USA in Iraq, and what do they do? Threaten to invade you.

That's the very definition of backstabbing.

Basically you're complaining that the US is now threatening to do to your country what you helped them do to Iraq?

The invasion of Iraq was an illegal and unjustified war of aggression. Just as a reminder, Iraq was not involved in the 9/11 and every piece of "evidence" that was provided to justify the invasion was a forgery.

If my country had helped the US invading Iraq, I wouldn't be proud of it, I wouldn't boast about it.

If you help a gang boss break into people's house and beat the shit out of them, don't complain if he later stabs you in the back. Or at the very least don't go crying that you didn't get the reward you deserve (which would be jail).

If in 20 years Putin decides to invade Belarus, it would still be wrong, but I would have no sympathy for anyone whining "but we helped Russia in Ukraine".

If, after years and decades of aggression wars, overthrowing of democratically elected governments around the world, and support for genocide, you only recognise that the US is a rogue state when they do it to YOUR country, then frankly, I have no sympathy for you.

An American denies we had ever been allies.

So I posted this in order to document the alliance.

But yes, I also find it crazy that USA would threaten a country that has always helped the US.

I am not boasting, The invasion was idiotic and should never have happened.

Myself I was in demonstration against Dennmark participating in the invasion.

But from the US perpective we are regardless a country that helps USA in whatever USA wants to do. And it's crazy they threaten a country that helps them with their shenanigans.
