"More than two years after the fall of Saddam Hussein, it is difficult to see what real benefits have accrued to the United States from the Iraq war, though a handful of corporations have benefited marginally. In contrast, Iran is the big winner. The Shiites of Iraq increasingly realize they need Iranian backing to defeat the Sunni guerrillas and put the Iraqi economy right, a task the Americans have proved unable to accomplish." Not American soldiers alone. Iraq and Iran suffered great losses from our government's policy to use Saddam as our proxy to thwart Iran's revolution and its influence in the region. len

Sorry jerome. Once again, you post "sources" which are far from the truth and have their own bias, and do not even attempt to hide it. You have zero credibility. Some "news" items from their website: informationclearinghouse.info Number Of Iraqi Civilians Slaughtered In America's War on Iraq - At Least 655,000 + + (So muslim on muslim violence plays no part in this?) The Botched U.S. Raid That Led To The Hostage Crisis Exclusive Report: By Patrick Cockburn A failed American attempt to abduct two senior Iranian security officers on an official visit to northern Iraq was the starting pistol for a crisis that 10 weeks later led to Iranians seizing 15 British sailors and Marines. The War of Humiliation By Robert Fisk How pleased the Iranians must have been to hear Messers Blair and Bush shout for the "immediate" release of the luckless 15 - this Blair-Bush insistence has assuredly locked them up for weeks - because it is a demand that can be so easily ignored. And will be. American Mugabe By David Michael Green If Americans could get beyond their training, beyond Rove’s marketing campaign, and beyond the psychological horrors of first degree cognitive dissonance, what they’d see is a president who – like Mugabe in Zimbabwe – came to town to fill his pockets, and just as fast as he could. Call That Humiliation? By Terry Jones No hoods. No electric shocks. No beatings. These Iranians clearly are a very uncivilised bunch. Why George Bush is Insane By Harold Pinter The US is at this moment developing advanced systems of "weapons of mass destruction" and it prepared to use them where it sees fit. It has more of them than the rest of the world put together. It has walked away from international agreements on biological and chemical weapons, refusing to allow inspection of its own factories. The hypocrisy behind its public declarations and its own actions is almost a joke. *********************** Zero Credibility! Both you and the site.
