WHere the Iraq war went wrong-

[Taskeen]

It was a fuck up from the beginning. The cost of human lives has been atrocious, but Power Politics and good 'ol fashion Imperialism does not care one iota how much blood is spilled in the process. Politicians on both sides of the spectrum have done little to curb this descent into madness. The Corporate Media continually spews forth garbage that the masses gobble as they sit mindlessly glued to their Televisions, giddy as they listen to the next bin Laden tape (likely manufactured by Propaganda Studios). Hey and as long shit happens to "them" and not "us," everything is swell.

Let's not forget who put Saddam in power in the first place. "Whoops, we didn't see that one coming, honest!" - C.I.A.

Let's not forget who put Saddam in power in the first place.

Let's not forget who gave Saddam weapons of mass destruction in the first place.

(read weapons grade Anthrax, etc)

"lulz, we know Saddam has WMDs, because we gave it to 'm."

"Put him in power?" I don't recall the US swooping in and installing Saddam as our pet dictator.

That picture is a lasting testament to the wily awesomeness of Reagan's foreign policy: we helped one scary bizzaro regime gut another insane bizzaro regime with a highly destructive war. Iran and Iraq ripping each other to shreds- how awesome is that? Doing our work for us, and all.

I also hear that Bush can control the weather with his magicks. Like Prospero.

This thread is hilarious, like most of it's ilk. I've taken to playing "Iraq Bingo," where I take a scorecard of all the buzzwords- "propaganda, corporate, media, haliburton, imperialism, lies, blood for oil, etc, and fill out one card per post. It's great fun. Taskeen's post was a particularly rich goldmine, though.

In other news, the situation in iraq is finally stable enough that big corporations can get their moneygrabbing hands on the oil.

Oh no! The Iraqi government will soon be receiving a massive influx of oil wealth that they will be able to use to rebuild their impoverished, wartorn country, drastically improve the standard of living for millions of Iraqi citizens, hire mercenary companies to keep the peace, and do an assload of other wonderful things!

Damn those greedy oil companies! Damn them I say!

Iraq

In the 1st World War, England invaded Iraq to gain acess to its oil fields... One thing looks realy familiar, the excuse given:
"We came as liberators, not conquerors!"(or something like that because i don't know if i have written it well)- England Intel.
Familiar?

Well a little bird told me that troops were being stationed right near the border of Iran for some odd reason. It's also odd that many UAV units are stationed there and elite Special forces units as well. I wonder if that has something to do with anything?

Oil,Oil,Haliburton,War with Iran,Propaganda,Yahtzee.....

Lil birds do talk a lot.

 

[TorontoReign]

Yeah they do. By the way. Your tour should be about over huh?

My tour is 15 months long. We're on month 8... the maths takes over from there. And with hopefully a year back state side, we grunts get ready for another game with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Yeah I'm in the process of getting out ,and my unit just deployed to Scania ,so I dodged that one. I really feel for my friends, but boy am I glad I don't have to go over there again. I'm beyond fucked up from going to that place. Glad to hear from you though. I was lucky. I only had to serve 12 months. I feel for you man.
