Who is next in this crazy Neo Con Crusaders' war?

Ok, it is just like we predicted. We said they dropped the ball in Afghanistan and they did. Cheney goes to Pakistan now! NOW!! Why wait 4 years when all intelligence reports pointed out that Afghanistan was not a peaceful pro-western democracy yet?

We predicted the chaos and the quagmire in Iraq too. What did the rightwing neocons on campus do? They said we were not being "patriotic" to support a foolish rush to war by a man who consulted a "Higher Father". Apparently this "Higher Father" had no frikking clue about the complexities of Arab relations, their pride or their ethnic differences. Instead of the HF, why didn't he talk to his own father 41? He would have told him the same. DO NOT invade Iraq on false pretenses and create chaos.

So we rushed into Iraq, killed tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and dont care about them, but we have also lost 3125 odd young Americans. But of course the Arabs are just "collateral damage" for racists here. Who cares about dead Arabs right?

Like the Christian Crusaders and t heir whatever Moslem Equivalent of yore who killed to "Save" nations and "heathens" or killing "infidels" we expected Iraqis to bend over and accept us with open arms because we were there to save them? What a crock of lard is that?

Now who is next for this cabal of crazies? Iran? What has the lame duck Presidency in store for us?

FACTS TO PONDER About that idiot Saddam

Pay attention to the timeline.

1.The Dujail massacre DAMN Saddamn was found guilty of, (and executed) occurred in 1982. He was at war with Iran and there were many attempts by Iranian sponsored Shia groups to kill him. We did not care about it then.

2. In June 1982, REPUBLICAN President Reagan decided that the United States could not afford to allow Iraq to lose the war to Iran. President Reagan decided that the United States would do whatever was necessary and legal to prevent Iraq from losing the war with Iran.

3. In 1982, the REPUBLICAN Reagan Administration removed Saddam Hussein’s Iraq from the list of states supporting terrorism, despite credible information that Iraq was, in fact, still supporting terrorism against Israel because We (USA) preferred Iraq to Islamic Iran and Iraq was considered to be the “lesser of two evils” as far as American interests were concerned.

4. The world knew about this massacre and other atrocities at that time; most Americans choose to remain willfully ignorant about America’s duplicitous conduct of foreign policy vis-à-vis Iraq. I doubt if Republicans ever cared to talk about human rights or was even aware of previous actions of the USA in Iraq.

5.In 1983 Reagan sent Donald Rumsfeld as the special representative of the Republican Administration, to visit Iraq and establish business relations; and to procure multi billion dollar Oil contracts for Bechtel and other big American corporations while Saddam was violating the rights of his people and committing atrocities. As reported by the New York Times in August 2002: Though senior officials of the Reagan administration publicly condemned Iraq's employment of mustard gas, sarin, VX and other poisonous agents, the American military officers said President Reagan, Vice President George Bush and senior national security aides never withdrew their support for the highly classified program in which more than 60 officers of the Defense Intelligence Agency were secretly providing detailed information on Iranian deployments, tactical planning for battles, plans for airstrikes and bomb-damage assessments for Iraq.

6.In 1986, President Reagan sent a secret message to Saddam Hussein telling him that Iraq should step up its air war and bombing of Iran. This message was delivered by Vice President Bush who communicated it to Egyptian President Mubarak, who in turn passed the message to Saddam Hussein.

QUOTE from Wikpedia WebSource: “According to retired Colonel Walter Lang, senior defense intelligence officer for the United States Defense Intelligence Agency at the time, "the use of gas on the battlefield by the Iraqis was not a matter of deep strategic concern" to Reagan and his aides, because they "were desperate to make sure that Iraq did not lose." He claimed that the Defense Intelligence Agency "would have never accepted the use of chemical weapons against civilians, but the use against military objectives was seen as inevitable in the Iraqi struggle for survival"[4], however, despite this allegation, Reagan’s administration did not stop aiding Iraq after receiving reports affirming the use of poison gas on Kurdish civilians.”-End quote

7.So why was this sudden need in 2003 to punish Saddam for actions he committed with our acquiescence back then? Sudden rush of righteousness

8.In 1984, amidst the Iran-Iraq war that Saddam started, USA under Reagan reestablished diplomatic ties with Iraq and aided him in his war with Iran. This aid included superb intelligence, fire directional supp ort for Saddam’s Russian made Artillery, allowed American companies to sell dual purpose chemical weapons components, supplied trucks etc. (Iraq broke ties with us after the 1967 Arab Israeli war). SO IN THE YEAR HE WAS DOING ALL THE HORRIBLE &*() TO HIS PEOPLE WE GO BECOME HIS BOSOM BUDDY? Who were right? The ones like me who dared to warn of the consequences before March 2003 and dared to challenge the rationale for this war that created this mess, or the righteous tyrannical Rightwing College Republicans who wrote en masse supporting this war without taking the trouble to enlist and die for the country?

9. From 1983 to 1990, the U.S. government approved around $200 million in arms sales to Iraq.
