I am constantly baffled by article discussing how Iraq is more likely to fall into civil war then Democracy. THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN IN CIVIL WAR EVER SINCE GWB DECLARED MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. If the administration had done theyre home work and actual devised a plan of action before declaring war on the country, they would have seen the underlying complexities in the Nation. However, the administration plan of action was manufacturing a non-existent threat by associating 9/11 and WMD with a country that had nothing to do with either. Before the war Iraq was a country being destroyed by sanctions and didnt have the capabilities nor the resources to pose a credible threat to U.S. Were talking about a third-world starving nation against the greatest military power in modern time . and theyre supposed to be a threat to us? PLEASE
Report thisFurthermore, if the administration had at least listened to the voices of reason coming from within our own military, declaring a preemptive war on a sovereign state with Nuclear capabilities is the surest way to provoke the use of such an arsenal. But the administration new better, because there was never any evidence that Iraq had such an arsenal to use. They only had to manufacture the threat to justify military action and invade their country. The New Crusade. Anyone with half a brain would have been able to tell you that invading Iraq would undoubtedly destabilize the region and cause more animosity and hate for the West, consequently increasing the threat towards the U.S. and its allies around the world (Britain). In conclusion, we manufactured a false threat and created real one that we must now deal with. A price that must be paid with American dollars, American Live, American Blood .The Bush Plan Equal American Blood For Arab Oil. The Greatest Democracy in the World. Or is it?

speaking of the nytimes, tom friedman’s busy trying to cover his well-fed bottom—he implored bush to take us into iraq—now he says bush didn’t use enough troops—it doesn’t occur to tom that our very presence is what creates more & more iraqi freedom fighters: funny how americans keep calling them insurgents
tom’s always been eager to sacrifice young americans while he luxuriates on his splendid estate—you won’t see any of tom’s offspring volunteering to go to iraq
