Call The Media

24.11.2005 23:26

Be sure to include the media in this discussion, since they keep repeating the BS propaganda of the Fascists who started this war, who say that they can't just up and leave (and quit plundering billions in Iraq), because if they do that, the country will fall into chaos.

Blame the terrorist insurgents for the chaos in Iraq

25.11.2005 11:20

It was right and just to overthrow the cruel, sadistic, murderous regime of Saddam Hussein. Under no circumstances can that decision ever be considered wrong. The current ongoing problems in Iraq however are not being caused by allied troops, but by terrorist insurgents who have been carrying out massive numbers of suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks mostly aimed at Iraqi civilians. In the most recent attack by the insurgents they exploded a car bomb outside a hospital of all places, killing and wounding dozens of Iraqi people. It is these evil people - the terrorist insurgents who are the enemy of Iraq not allied troops who are trying to help Iraq. Thanks to Britain and America Iraq is now a democracy!

Fascism Is Double-Plus-Good!!

"It was right and just to overthrow the cruel, sadistic, murderous regime of Saddam Hussein."

But that justification for the war only came about after the LIES about WMD were disclosed to the wider public. This wasn't about Saddam. It was about oil, geostrategy, and Israel.

Toppling a dictator you helped build and keep in power, and replacing it with another (read Seymour Hersh on the BILLIONS, plundered from the Iraqi People, being used to bribe Iraqi officials) is not helping the people of Iraq.

"The current ongoing problems in Iraq however are not being caused by allied troops, but by terrorist insurgents"

So by starting an illegal war of aggression, you believe that the Resistance, legitimized to fight the Foreign Invader under International Law, is the problem? Give your head a shake, Troll ...

"who have been carrying out massive numbers of suicide bombings"

The exposure of an British SAS Fasle Flag in Basra, and reports of US military personnel wiring Iraqis' cars in secured checkpoints, suggests that this is being carried out in order to demonize the Resistance, because they're winning the war, and have the support of the Iraqi People.

It's an old Colonial Tactic - "Divide & Rule" - which leaked UK documents prove the US and Britain were talking about a full year before the war.



Be sure to include the media in this discussion, since they keep repeating the BS propaganda of the Fascists who started this war, who say that they can't just up and leave (and quit plundering billions in Iraq), because if they do that, the country will fall into chaos.

Editors, Keep Tabs On This Plant's Activities


64 per cent of Iraqis voted in the last elections though!

28.11.2005 10:18

64 per cent of the Iraq people voted in the last elections though, that is a damning endorsement of the work to transform Iraq into a free democracy and a reputation of the so called resistance who are only destroying their own country. Also there will be Parliamentary elections in Iraq on the 12th of December. Something that would never have happened had the US and British goverments decided to leave the Saddam regime in power.

By the way if the US and UK governments had supportted Saddam in the past then it increases their responsibility to get rid of that regime and install a democracy. Just because they were wrong in the past doesn't mean that they should never be allowed to right or to do anything right. The past is the past, it is the present that matters.
