They have two choices: 1) to acknowledge that no matter how many people the crusaders torture and murder, the guerrilla war will never end because the Iraqis hate them. 2) to claim that all Iraqi deaths are due to “sectarian violence”, and that all crusader deaths are the byproduct of trying to prevent an Iraqi “Civil War.” I think you’ll agree that the second one would look a lot better on the front of the American newspapers. The amusing thing about SCIRI is that they’re Iranian puppets, not American ones. Whenever Pharaoh finally decides to attack Iran, then SCIRI will be told to attack the Americans. If you’re going to give unconditional backing to murderous quislings, at least make sure they’re your murderous quislings. - Cous Cous Fri, 22 Dec 2006 01:45:35 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/969-a-chronicle-of-escalation-foretold-the-red-crescent-assault.html#comment-3112 Well, Chris, you have delineated with your usual precision and clarity the continuing foreign policy debacle in Iraq. What more can I add to that last sentence? Not much. We will see so many flames erupting in this inferno before the American soldiers withdraw, probably firing off their M-16s and machineguns in retreat. As a Vietnam veteran, I wonder which ethnic group/faction will be judged by future historians as the Cambodians of the Middle East. - george hoffman Thu, 21 Dec 2006 22:53:40 +0100 http://chris-floyd.com/component/content/3/969-a-chronicle-of-escalation-foretold-the-red-crescent-assault.html#comment-3111 I think that you have possibly overlooked one extremely cogent and terrifying fact in this whole equation, it being that bush is actually mentally unbalanced in a very real and literal way emotionally/psychologically. There was an excellent article on another website that dealt with what they called "pathocrats" and, after reading the symptomology and exhibited manifestations of that kind of personality, there wasn't too much more room for discussion as to what was/is wrong with w's picture. It seems to exacerbated by his recurring alcoholism, just to add fuel to the fire. The point being, why would anybody actually be trying to draw any other conclusions from/for this guy's actions when this is all he is and ever was capable of? His own business/personal history proves this repeatedly. You wouldn't ask a scorpion not to sting you. Why would you expect someone this ill not to act out their delusions in the only world they are capable of seeing? (NOT an apology for this clown, either) I agree with Buzzflash's article this morning. bush should be given intensive psychiatric therapy while in prison, just to try and help the poor man. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, etc. - jack Thu, 21 Dec 2006 14:47:38 +0100
