Raymond > Genocide is the goal in Iraq. The destruction of the local population so that they can't complain about the theft of their resources.
One hundred and twenty percent correct. All the democracy stuff is pure BS, like the WMDs and everything else. In fact, the reason that Saddam had to be gotten rid of was not because he was so bad but because he wasn't bad enough! Sure, he killed a few guys here and there but in so doing he made a BIG mistake --- he brought law and order and, therefore, peace to the country. Nothing could have been worse. He had to go.

>>>.... the intellectual authors of this war, the neoconservative faction inside the administration, and ensconced in a multitude of well-funded Washington thinktanks, are not at all worried. Everything is going according to plan: the bloodshed, the chaos, the spillover effects of the conflict in Europe and elsewhere. It's all part of the World War IV scenario sketched out by leading neocon theoreticians. Are tens of thousands of Shi'ites now taking up arms against their supposed "liberators"? Chalk it up to the "creative destruction" so beloved by Michael Ledeen, the neocons' mini-Machiavelli. Ledeen touted the phrase in his book, The Terror Masters, as the real goal of the wars of 'liberation" advocated by him and his comrades.
"To most Americans," Marshall wrote, "this would sound like a frightening state of affairs, the kind that would lead them to wonder how and why we had got ourselves into this mess in the first place. But to the Bush administration hawks who are guiding American foreign policy, this isn't the nightmare scenario. It's everything going as anticipated."
Forget about the costs, in lives and treasure: forget about the unwillingness of the "liberated" to agree to the terms of their "liberation," the fueling of Al Qaeda's agenda in the region, and the certainty that the West will be visited with yet more terrorism. None of this matters to the cabal that lied us into war, as Marshall points out.
"Events that may seem negative … while unfortunate in themselves, are actually part of the hawks' broader agenda. Each crisis will draw U.S. forces further into the region and each countermove in turn will create problems that can only be fixed by still further American involvement, until democratic governments – or, failing that, U.S. troops – rule the entire Middle East."<<<
The Iraqis had two choices, submit immediately to US imperialism or die. It appears they have chosen the second option. |
