Dope-powered soldiers
War is made with men and drugs...
SOLDIERS SENT TO IRAQ DESPITE POSITIVE DRUG TESTS
11/20/2003
Although the U.S. Army says it has a zero-tolerance policy on drugs, 21 Iowa National Guard soldiers who tested positive for drugs were sent to Iraq, the Associated Press reported Nov. 16.
The soldiers tested positive for drugs the day before they were scheduled to be deployed overseas. Army officials said that 13 soldiers from other states also tested positive for drugs but were sent to Iraq, as well.
Officials at Fort McCoy, Wis., which serves as a multi-state gathering point for Reserve and Guard troops, said a number of the soldiers took drugs with the hopes of getting caught and being sent home.
"A positive on their drug test is not going to keep them here, unless there's a dependency issue," said Linda Fournier, a Fort McCoy spokeswoman. " These units have to have so many people to go overseas."
The Army said it would address the drug-test results when the troops return.

Did British Bombs Cause a Bam in Bam?

Did Bombs Cause a Bam in Bam?
Bam, with buildings made of baked earth brick
which stood quakeless for 2000 years..
Bam, in between
the British cluster bombs of SE Iran
and the US daisy cutter bombs all over
Afghanistan..
did these bombs
cause 42,000 casualties more
in the war profiteer's war
against the children animals and
trees of Iraq?
CHURCHILL'S VIOLENCE & RACISM AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ
'I do not understand this squeamishness about the use of gas. I am
strongly in favour of using [it] against uncivilised tribes.' Winston
Churchill, Secretary of State, British War Office, 1919, authorising
use of chemical weapons against Iraqi rebellion (colonial term
for wars of national liberation. Anglo Iranian Oil and its child
BP invaded Iraq in the last 100 years 6 times including now.)
The British capital cartels cooperating with the US in
waging war against Iraqis..
what was their worst hour?
. the machine gunning of trapped people at Amritsar in India?
. the machine gunning of Irish people during Bloody Sunday?
. the poison gassing of Kurds and Arabs in Iraq in 1920? something
authorized by Winston Churchill, "a 19th Century, not a 20th
Century man" for the Anglo Iranian Oil Co, the parent of BP
. massacres of some African tribes with machine guns
when the tribesmen had no guns by Cecil Rhodes mercenaries?
(Rhodes scholars learn the ways of British capital still)
Thank You God that in 2004 and forever more
You are authorizing peace for all beings
