I swear, this kind of stuff really makes me believe that reincarnation is the real deal. This guy is from some other century.

as if that area of the world was not one of the "Cradles of Civilization." America wants to "corporatize" not civilize.

12. Dangerous to megalomaniacs who don't go in for humanitarian |
|
reasons using the UN and procurement systems - so that the contracts($$) doesn't go to Iraqis but to Haliburton. Rummy needed to prove 1) preemptive non-UN war is the best kind of war 2) War can be done on the cheap using too few troops. Both of these made the insurgency much, much worse!

15. Ahhh so the CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION wasn't. Why didn't we just GAS them? |
|
Winston Churchill, the man bush worships:
"I do not understand squeamishness about the use of gas. I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes."
Good thing the Great White America has stepped in to CIVILIZE those uncivilized brown-skinned tribes in Iraq!
Jeebus Frigging Crepes. And they wonder why the world despises us.
