Posted on Apr 23, 2007

Now we’ve gone from the “Vietnamisation” of the war in Iraq to the “Cambodianisation” of conflict in that region (Somalia is just across the Gulf of Aden from Saudia Arabia). Quy Tran will know what I mean….

What hapened in Iraq during a decade of sanctions? Millions died from disease and malnutrition, especially children! So, let’s do it again to provide a smokescreen to the intended Israeli nuclear attack on Iran…..!?!?
