…And resulted in the murder of more than 40,000 innocents…
How long should we idly stand by while liars with power kill innocents?
How many more innocents will die in the future due a powerful nation which is scared of others?
When will the world realize, that strength in the hands of cowards results in injustice?
My my Saddam's drinking buddy, Rumsfeld looked very uncomfortable in that interview...even caught off guard.
Apologists say, US freed the Iraqis from Saddam. Well the US did get rid of Saddam, but not to free Iraqis but to take control of Iraq themselves. Why did they not the UN inspectors complete their job, and if they wanted to invade why did they not wait to get a coalition ready. Why was the case presented that we dont have time and Saddam is on the brink of developing WMD’s and he must be stopped immediately. Because they did not want UN to meddle in Iraq, they wanted complete control and they were lying through their teeth to get in. First it was the WMD’s and now it is ‘we wanted to free Iraqis from Saddam, the evil evil dictator’. More on how they want to profit from Iraq and how they want a puppet government.
The heroic liberators of Iraq were supposed to be welcomed by a grateful population. Great care was taken to photograph what were supposed to be cheering throngs. What we saw were a few dozen bemused and shocked citizens watching on as US troops committed acts of vandalism and wanton destruction, to add to the purposeful targeting of civilian infrastructures which have not recovered today.
Western TV reporters are beginning to say they cannot leave their hotels and US reporters are wearing the Canadian maple leaf - or hide behind hijabs.
Why this hatred? Because the United States of America decided to utterly and totally destroy Iraq to pave the way for reconstruction contracts to be doled out to the clique of the corporate elite which dictate the White House’s policy (not the voters), some of these without tender.
Paul Bremer is selling Iraq and its people to foreign institutions
controlled by Washington. Last October, a law was passed linking the economy to foreign control (Order 39, which cannot be changed by the new government) and instituted special powers for special institutions, controlled by Washington, which will supervise the new Iraqi ministries. Long after the US
troops pull out (or retreat), the Project Management Office and the US Embassy in Baghdad will continue to control the reconstruction process and funding. Neither will all the troops leave, since there are plans to station over 100.000 in the country for several years at the 14 permanent military bases being set up around the country, advance bases for strikes against other countries as Washington goes for the throat of the world’s richest region in mineral resources.
