Bush, “ass” and Iraq

[bemildred]

“We’re kicking ass in Iraq” was the reported statement by President Bush during his visit to Australia. Whether or not he said it, this is the message the controlled press have instilled in the hearts and minds of the population in the USA and in the handful of sycophantic nations which supported this outrageous and illegal act of butchery.

For the controlled press, Iraq was a country living in chaos, ruled by a bloodthirsty dictator, who murdered at whim and ran a terrorist network allied to Al Qaeda, which posed an “immediate threat” to the USA and its allies through its “WMD”.

Nothing was said about the US-led sanctions, which between 1990 and 2003 caused starvation and disease, victimising a substantial proportion of the population (mostly children), nothing was said of the heroic efforts of the Iraqi government to try to guarantee access to drinking water, education, free and excellent healthcare (a reference in the modern world), the highest proportion of dentists per capita, among other remarkable achievements in the most progressive state in the Middle East. Nothing was said of the hatred between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein.

Nothing is now said about the effects of these 13 years of cruelty, complete with acts of terrorism by NATO forces, and the result of the criminal act of mass murder launched by the Bush regime in March 2003, which transformed a once modern, forward-looking, secular and industrialising nation into a backward, medieval state ruled by political islamists. Nothing is said of women’s rights in the Iraq of today, where girls can be raped or decapitated in daylight because they dare to venture out without a veil.

2. I doubt this fool has any understanding of what he has wrought.

From the article:

In Iraq today, child prostitution (unheard of under the Government of President Saddam Hussein al-Tikriti) is a growing phenomenon, women have lost practically all their freedoms and since 2003, there are 50.000 new prostitutes. Iraq today constitutes the world’s fastest-growing refugee crisis, with 40 to 50.000 people fleeing there homes every month.

If this is “kicking ass”, then congratulations, Mr. Bush, on the wise way in which you have invested the hard-earned hundreds of billions of dollars your citizens pay in taxes. Maybe two years after Hurricane Katrina, as much money has been pumped into New Orleans, or could it be that the Hurricane acted as an excuse for the corporate elitists which gravitate around the Bush regime to have taken advantage of the chaos and bought up huge tracts of cheap land for development projects?

3. This is a America? 'Hypocrisy' doesn't, even come close!

How did we ever get to this point in time and how can any decent American sing "God Bless America?"
