Default A truly HORRIFIC tsunami picture

From: "Mark²" mjmorgan(lowesteven number

We were floored. Also floored that nobody else cared to take Sadddam out,
even though he murdered **countless** thousands.


How do you know that? Cause the government told you it was so?

If true, then he murdered most of those people while having the full support of
the US. Uncle Rummy and Saddam were best pals until Saddam stepped a little
too close to Bush oil in Kuwait.

So don't even offer that bull**** as a reason that we are there. It's total
crap. Sudan is the proof.

Sure. Doesn't everybody believe the trash that slithers out past the
Greenbelt?

I still have the visions of that young Kuwait girl sniffing tissues and
testifying before a congressional panel about infant incubators being
stolen, tossing the babies on the floor. The media was completely duped
by this sham and U.S. administration officials not only knew it was a
sham, but let them get away with it until someone finally had the guts
to pull the curtain back revealing the Bush oil deals behind it.
Everything I've heard from them since that moment is held in the highest
scrutiny because they have little credibility with me.

full support of
the US. Uncle Rummy and Saddam were best pals until Saddam stepped

a little
too close to Bush oil in Kuwait.

and
testifying before a congressional panel about infant incubators being


stolen, tossing the babies on the floor. The media was completely

duped
by this sham and U.S. administration officials not only knew it was a


sham, but let them get away with it until someone finally had the

guts
to pull the curtain back revealing the Bush oil deals behind it.

highest
scrutiny because they have little credibility with me.


I was in Kuwait in 1991 right after the war, and some of my work
involved liasing between international concerns (UN, NGO's such as the
Red Cross, the Kuwaitis etc), during which I regularly dealt one-to-one
with ambassadors and those high in command. Let me put this in the
balance:

1) that incident you mention has indeed been 'media-managed', but I
have personally seen evidence and extensive documentation of torture
and human rights abuses during the occupation. Many images of the
tortured and mutilated bodies were horrific.
2) The oil/defence profiteering through 'creative accounting' you
mention was true; the public funds in the US and Kuwait were truly
ripped off by those who had enough political leverage to profit from
the war. I recall verified accounts of a single head of lettuce for the
military being charged at more than a $100, and an otherwise ordinary
fan, not much different - according to engineers - from that you see
used for ventilation in some public toilettes, being charged at tens of
thousands of dollars (literally!) because some entity was given an
exclusive contract to supply parts for a radar system. The exclusive
contracts given to Cheney's Halliburton these days, for example, is not
that much different. Yes, you're right in saying that Bush and his
administration are corrupt, and that's why I oppose them; they simply
are looters.




So don't even offer that bull**** as a reason that we are there.

It's total
crap. Sudan is the proof.
