GLOBAL DEMO HELPED SADDAM TO DECLARE VICTORY

The Associated Press | 16.02.2003 14:58

GLOBAL DEMO'S SLOGAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN "NO TO WAR -NO TO SADDAM - NO TO BUSH"
UNFORTUNATELY SADDAM THINKS GLOBAL DEMO IN SUPPORT FOR HIM.

BAGHDAD, Iraq Feb. 16 —
Iraq on Sunday gloated over the global outpouring of opposition to the U.S. threat of attack, saying anti-war demonstrations in dozens of countries signaled an Iraqi victory and "the defeat and isolation of America."

Iraq's tightly controlled news media gave prominent coverage to anti-war demonstrations staged around the world on Saturday. Iraqi television showed footage of millions marching in the world's cities under the logo "International Day of Confronting the Aggression."

"The world said with one voice: 'No to aggression on Iraq,'" read a headline in the government daily Al-Jumhuriya. "The world rises against American aggression and the arrogance of naked force," read a front page headline in the army daily Al-Qadissiya.

"These demonstrations expressed in their spirit, meaning and slogans the decisive Iraqi victory and the defeat and isolation of America," Al-Jumhuriya said in a commentary.

What the 2 million who marched, and the twenty times that number they represented, believe is that under Bush the United States is the biggest threat to world peace that the world has seen since Adolf Hitler. 'Afghanistan is only the beginning', the village idiot famously said, and Mr Cheney offers us the prospect of 40 years of war. What next: Iran and North Korea (the two other parts of this non-existant Axis?), Colombia? Cuba (which John Bolton, the Undersecretary of State attacked as being responsible for bioweapons?)? The predatory United States and the predatory Israel is what has the blood of England rising. And the kind of swaggering threatening performance which Rumsfeld gave in Munich confirms us in that view.

As for the Iraqis, what we consider the basis is ensuring that their cities and people survive to celebrate the death of Saddam Hussein, as the hypocritical dishonest Americans and British allowed the people of Spain to live to the death of Franco, and Chileans to survive until the collapse of the murderous Pinochet regime.

These people in Washington: Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, have supported so many murderous dictatorships of torturers in Guatemala, Chile, South Africa, the Phillipines, Zaire, Indonesia, that they have ZERO credibility when they talk about their sympathy for the suffering of the Iraqis.

The ignorant brainwashed American public may know nothing about the role of their nation state in creating disaster and sustaining tyranny around the world, but the rest of us have not forgotten.

Wait for the death of Saddam - that will probably take a while and even then what happens? His son takes over - your hatred of true democracies like Israel and the USA seems to cloud your judgement

True democracies like the USA and Israel?

When last I checked the government of the United States had been selected by five supreme court justices when it appeared that the vote had gone the other way. And as for Israel, when it allow Palestinians the right of return and full rights to land, water, justice, and the vote, it can talk about being a democracy: at the moment it is a minority-rule racist state of the kind which ruled South Africa and Rhodesia until they were overthrown.

I am fairly sure that I have more American friends than you will make in your life, and most of these agree with me that regime change begins in Washington.

... not like the whining shit being spewed by AP when their ÜberPimp GassHole WarMonger Butscher and his Puppy Blare take a severe beating on the stage of World Opinion.

This Action needs to be repeated once a month, forever!

BTW, WarCrim Sharon will soon be winging his fatass to a cosy cell in Den Haag as a guest of the Intnl. Criminal Court. Where he will be converted to fat slimy toast! YEAH!
