Once again Col Gene has spoken out against the brutal and illegal occupation of Iraq. Saddam had nothing to do whatsoever with Al Qaeda, but by launching an illegal and brutal assault against Iraq, a new recruiting region has been created. In fact George Bush II is just the person AL qaeda would love to haVE AROUND FOR YEARS, BECAUSE IT WILL result in added membership for the organizatio.

Iraq after Saddam is less secure, less civilised, and there is reign of terror in place in Iraq. Torure Chambers are now located in ministerial offices ans if the trend is not checked, Sunnis in Iraq will soon become victims of organised killing squads consistings of Shiaa miliamen. The USA occupation has destroyed the civil society in Iraq and sectarian violence has taken root. After the inevitable US withdrawal, Iran will be the dominant force in Ira
One of the dangers of writing History in these post modern times is that the traditional tools of historiography, critical evaluation of the documents, evaluation of the biases inherent in historical narratives, assessment of the degree of vermisilitude in historical sources, have all been forgotten. Indeed there are even some historiographers who say a la Hayden Whi
Never EVER blame the fascist dictator. Now I am not an admirer of Saddam, but I can tell you with all certainity that his was not a fascist regime. He did modernise Iraq, provided women's empowerment through educationa and tried hard to buid a civil society internesting ethnic, tribal and sectarian divi
differ with you on the idea of war with Iraq, but I salute the fairness you show here by laying the blame on more than Bush. Unlike other people, I think it is obvious that you oppose what is going on in Iraq for well-considered reasons untarnished by political motives. As I said, I differ with you on the total of your equation,
In a speech in Dubai, Bill Clinton declared that the Iraq War was a "big mistake". The speech was made in the context of rising civillian and US casualities in Iraq. Clinton by referring to the Iraq War as a mistake is obviously playing to the domestic Democratic lobby in order to gather support for the next Pesidential candidate from the Democratic party, who could e
I have drawan attention to this. Anyway the use of W P makes the USA stand along side rogue regimes like Saddam's which too used chemical weapons against civillians. Atleast Saddam is not an elected ruler. Bush and the Bushmen claim democratic legitimacy which make the use of WP far worsw.
He's just being pretentious like virtually every other left-wing anti-war(US) demagogue. You and I may disagree greatly on Iraq, Bakerstreet, but both of us want the US to come out looking like the winner she is. Nearly 60% of the American public noe are on yhis side as far as this Iraq war is concerned
Nope, Bahu would kiss a terrorist and welcome him in to brag about how many Americans he killed I JUST WILL NOT DO THAT FOR THE SIMPLE REASON I OPPOSE ISLAMIC TERRORISM. But two wrongs do not make a right. Just because there are terrorists out there does not mean that US military can use unacceptable me
. Your just as sad as Col Gene is when it comes to trying to find ways to make the US look bad. Micheal Moore did a better job than you guys The Department of Defence has now owned up to using WP in Fallujah though they are still in denial mode as far as civillian casualities is concerned. That is why
The fllow up clearly shows that CIVILIANS were not targeted and the WP grenades were used to flush out the terrorist so they could then be killed when This is not true. WP was used against civillians and then the justification trotted out was the presence of terrorists. In any event the Terrorists have
More know-nothing propaganda to keep all the know nothings of the world busy feigning outrage. I am sorry that you should say such an unkind statement.
I'd remind you that this "savage" war was intended to get the Iraqi people out from under sanctions, whereas all the "peace loving" nations wanted to prolong them indefinately while they made millions in oil-for-food May I remind you that the justification for the war war the WMD which were never found
It is a delicious bit of irony that the ostensible reason for American invasion of Iraq remains the ABC weapons allegedly developed by Saddam Hussein. It has now become abundantly clear that not only was the intelligence with respect of the WMD program of the erstwhile President of Iraq flawed but there appears to have been what one senator delicately called "cherry
I think it is time that all thinking Americans heed the call of reason and start writing to their Congressmen and Senators about the insanity of this war.
I am not surprised at what happened. In fact when I was a graduate student at UH Manoa, one friday evening at Waikiki as my friends and I were returning home we saw with our own eyes a brutal shooting of a Mainlander right on Waikiki itself. It has been years since I left Honolulu, but I reckon that it must have happened in 1985. Yes, in that Tropical Paradise there is a great deal of simmining discontent.
November 2004. Anyone questioning the wisdom of Bus and the Bushmen rampage in Iraq was wildly hooted, reviled and even their patriotism questioned. November 2005.

So are you really saying the Americans should go home and let the Arabs kill the Jews, which was their agenda all along? Is that better? Or just less painful for hand-wringing American leftists? <TD class="mb-B
The exposion in the Hyatt Grand Hotel at Amman killed nearly 60 people and injured 300 more. The responsibility for the blast has been taken by Al_Qaeda in Iraq led by the illusive Abu Musab Zarqawi.The attack in Jordon itself is proof, if proof is needed, that the Al Qaeda is capable of pulling of spectacular terror attacks in the region. Jordon has been a key ally o
The ceasefire of 91, along with applicable UN resolutions made allowances for the lifting of sanctions as Hussein demonstrated compliance. Unfortunatly, the UN established the Oil for Food program even though Hussein was defiant to the sanctions. What made it even worse, even after humanitarian organizations reported to the UN th
Finally even true believers are beginning to question the wisdom of having a right wing neo conservative like Bush II set the American agenda. George Bush II has been an utter and complete failure in every department of governance: Katrina, War on Terreorism, Iraq,, he has been unsuccessful evenm in pushing his neocon agenda the Meirs nomination just shook the daylights of his supporters.
wish you could take a second step, though, and use this as a candle to illuminate the anti-war sentiment among some nations before the invasion. If you accept that there was gross malpheasance, you could easily see how lucrative it was for France and other nations to keep the Iraqi people under those sanctions as long as possible
need to read through this again, but I would swear I agree with you. It can't be... Good to know that Baker Street is in agreement. The 800, 000 is as accurate as is possible.
