That's precisely right! that is EXACTLY why Bush went to Vietnam at the height of the Iraqi massacres, as a symbolic gesture to prove to the elite he is doing his job, (doing to Iraq, what they did to Vietnam.) Here's the kicker: All the Assyrians and their "leaders" that are supporting this war have been the slaves of the Ruling Elite, for decades now, and have been doing their bidding all their life, selling out Assyria, all its treasures, and wealth to them, FOR FREE. That's why they call the Assyrian slaves, "Iraq's Opposition Group." These Assyrians have supported the Ruling Elite's murder, mayhem, and the rape of Assyria in every way, not realizing that what they have essentially done is to invite these murderers to come in and help themselves to whatever they want, (raping the household, murdering its children, stealing their treasures and wealth) and literally taking over Assyria, with the help of their petty-thieves, the Kurds. The Kurds don't give a damn about Assyria, because it was NEVER there's, to begin with. Why should they care WHAT America does to Assyria? They have no attachment to its history, to its culture, to its treasures. They are thieves, and have been promised a share of the loot, (Kurdistan, Kirkuk and Mosul oil fields). For that, they will even help the Americans get rid of every single Sunni, Shiaa, CAn WE get ANY dumber? pancho wrote: >...love that woman...but; Here`s the tail end of one of her latest, excellent articles... > >As The Washington Post's review notes, Chandrasekaran's book "methodically documents the baffling ineptitude that dominated U.S. attempts to influence Iraq's fiendish politics, rebuild the electrical grid, privatize the economy, run the oil industry, recruit expert staff or instill a modicum of normalcy to the lives of Iraqis." > >We are the people who run this country. We are the deciders. And every single day, every single one of us needs to step outside and take some action to help stop this war. Raise hell. Think of something to make the ridiculous look ridiculous. Make our troops know we're for them and trying to get them out of there. Hit the streets to protest Bush's proposed surge. If you can, go to the peace march in Washington on Jan. 27. We need people in the streets, banging pots and pans and demanding, "Stop it, now!" > >...it is not "baffling" at all. I don`t know why otherwise sane and insightful people keep reacting to the war in Iraq like it was all just bad planning and a big mistake. It was NOT a mistake. Not if you realistically assess what was at stake and what`s been gained. If I were privy to all the deceit and shennanigans of this administration..or of Genral Motors, or Intel, or The Rand Corporations or a thousand other warmerchants I could pinpoint things much more easily...but since they keep their secrets and have learned to put out just what we need to be reassured and assured...I have to guess... > >Sure, they wanted to privatize the Iraqi oil fields and keep a competetive edge...and the only way to justify going to war for their personal gain was to dress it up in patriotic and national and security geegaws...we all know that part by now. > >And even having TWO..not just one, BLACK Secretaries of State was brilliant...Condi Rice is a fool...but Colin Powell was potentially dangerous to them...so they kicked him upstairs and kicked his teeth in all at the same time..making a stooge out of a Black man who was once highly respected by many. > >But there have been no "mistakes"...not from their point of view..not from the point of view of the winners of this war...and they HAVE won...we, the people, have lost...as usual...but the same people who "won" in Vietnam have just won again..only moreso. > >There hasn`t been any real treasure to be gained from modern warfare in a long long time....not until we had enough military industrial complexes...now the treasure is in our Treasury..and in getting at it and getting us to borrow more for their uses, they have won...very well, thank you. > >They enriched themselves at our expense just as they do in their other corporate businesses where we, the employees, matter about as much as the soldiers they now toss into the war. They need a pretext, any pretext, to stay in a little longer...to get the next installemnt of billions out of their pals in Congress, who they put there for that purpose...and who each have several "supporters" in the corporate business of selling death while re-naming it SECURITY. They know better than the rest of us that these additional soldeirs, like the 150,000 before them are only going to "win" them more profits..that`s all and that`s perfectly okay...it`s the reason they started this war in the first place. > >There were no mistakes made..a war such as this or the Vietnem War cannot be won in the conventional, John Wayne sort of way we still imagine...you don`t WANT to win it...not in conventional terms...you want it to last and last and go on and on while you manipulate money out of the people...these are the same scumbags who`ve learned how to manipulate us at home with their advertisements and deals and come-ons...they just did it on an international level is all..the war was NOT dumb...it was very very smart, from their point of view and their point of view has been made into OUR point of view because they also own our media AND public education. > >It was, and is, brilliant. --------------------- |
