Iraq: One Giant George W. Bush Death Camp

[welshTerrier2]

Do Americans have any idea what's going on in Iraq ?? Do they even care ?? Frankly, I doubt it ... All we know about is what we see and hear and read (do Americans still read?) on the news ...

The entire focus is all about the "insurgency" ... well, let me tell you, life in Iraq is a living hell ... we have created such deplorable conditions there that life has become unsustainable for many innocent Iraqi citizens ...

The following was based on a report released a couple of weeks ago by the Iraqi Health Ministry ...

According to a report compiled by the Iraqi health ministry, the US-occupied country faces a soaring death toll from preventable diseases including typhoid and tuberculosis.

Damage to water supplies and sanitation has led to a surge in typhoid, with 5460 cases recorded in the first quarter of 2004. Almost one in five urban households and three in five rural households do not have access to safe drinking water.

Poverty has risen sharply, with an estimated 27% of the population living on less than $2 a day in 2003, in a nation with among the richest oil reserves in the world.

One in three children are chronically malnourished, putting their lives at serious risk from outbreaks of measles, mumps and jaundice, which are sweeping the country and infecting thousands.

Roger Wright, the representative of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) for Iraq, told reporters in the Jordanian capital of Amman on October 8 that UN economic sanctions imposed on Iraq in late 1990 had resulted in Iraq experiencing ‘‘a bigger increase in under-five mortality rates than any other country in the world and since the war there are several indications that under-five mortality has continued to rise.

Perhaps this is what bush really meant by "no child left behind" ...

1. *Dimwit isn't a NAZI!

So STOP SAYING THAT!!! <<sarcasm off>>

Americans are committing GENOCIDE against the people of Afghanistan, Iraq and Haiti. No ovens, photos or carefully kept records necessary (this *misadministration LEARNED WELL from their equally predatory predecessors). "News blackouts" and myriad vapid distractions will suffice. What time is "Survivor" on? When's the next J-Lo interview?

My dearest darlings, there is already hell to pay for the atrocities committed in your names. HELL.TO.PAY. And when your loved ones in military service return to you in whatever condition it will be in your LIVING ROOM displacing FAUX NEWS in a fucking nanosecond.

As I see it, the REAL HOPE is that enough MENSCHEN HAVE AWAKENED to the stench of burnt coffee and will turn out in RECORD NUMBERS to prevent, without question, another election theft. Germany is a "swing state." The TIA database has its entries and votes have been discarded... Fasten your seatbelts.

My very old and VERY WISE neighbor, who survived WW2, lit candles for you in our Gothic cathedral. I shall follow his lead even though I don't follow his religion, out of RESPECT for him.

2. Contrast that with Kuwait

The Iraqis should be rolling in money. It's their money. Instead bush*co is stealing them blind and leaving them with poor health, deplorable living conditions and in extreme poverty. Shameful! :-(

3. Why should the Iraqis

have more than the common American? Bush has won his war on the economy. He should do so well in Iraq.
