Lara Logan: The Attack In Samarra Is Meant To Push Iraq Into Chaos

[marcodele]

I don't believe Saudi Arabia will let the U.S. control the second largest oil market. We have to do pretty much what the Saudis tell us to do.

There were lots of ways to get rid of Saddam. Even though the VP said it was not about the oil, I think most people consider that it was a factor.

Look at the recent laws that the administration is urging the Iraqi government to pass. Not only does it divide the oil proceeds among the Iraqi groups, but it gives most of the control of the resources to foreign corporations for 30 years and effectively puts Iraq on an allowance.

If you just got rid of Saddam, that would not put you in control of their oil fields, which are considered the 2nd largest in the region behind Saudi Arabia.

Now that they have control of the country, they can force the new government of Iraq to turn over control of the oil fields to the big oil companies. Maybe this was the plan all along.

Well, I must say "Good going George!"

Thanks to your "cakewalk" of an invasion, you and Cheney have managed to bring Iraq to civil war. And with US soldiers stuck in the middle!

Terrific job of death and destruction, with no end in sight, and hundreds of thousands more innocents to be killed, not to mention US soldiers!

I congradulate you on your complete incompetence, stubbornness, refusal to listen to others, cruelty, over all stupidity and your complete irresponibility for causing this TOTAL DISASTER.

I nominate you to for entry in the world's Hall of Shame right along side Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, and Saddam himself for the category of World's Worst Leaders.

You have definately qualified.

How many Jews are there?

18,000,000

How many non-Jews?

7,000,000,000

Although we're massively out-numbered, all of these limp-wristed, c@cks@cking Gentiles are apparently ***-scared of us!!!

There won't be a reduction in the violence in Iraq until U.S. troops withdraw. We are the catalyst. We removed Saddam, made sure there were no WMD's, and we should have left then.

Eisenhower said the most dangerous part of our govenment was the Military Industrial complex.
How prophetic his words were when you consider
what the Bush/Cheney/Halliburton/Rumsfeld complex has done to our world reputation.

It will take decades to repair the damages and pay the deficits created by George W. Bush Jr.
It is unfortunate that thousands had to die for two men who hid during the Viet Nam war.

WE MUST CONFRONT THE ISRAELI LOBBIES TO GET OUT OF IRAQ!


It is not anti Semitic to believe there are millions of other good people in the Middle East!

Even Eisenhower had problems with Israeli groups but he did not let them buy him!

READ AS THEY BRAG ABOUT THEIR INFLUENCE ON OUR GOVERNMENT!

Founded in 1953 by Isaiah L. "Si" Kenen, AIPAC's original name was the American Zionist Committee for Public Affairs. According to UCLA political science professor and author, Steven Spiegel, "the tension between the Eisenhower administration and Israeli supporters was so acute that there were rumors that the administration would investigate the American Zionist Council. Therefore, an independent lobbying committee was formed, which years later was renamed [AIPAC].Today, AIPAC has over 100,000 members.[1]
Activities and stated goals
AIPAC's stated purpose is to lobby the Congress of the United States on issues and legislation "to ensure that the U.S.-Israel relationship is strong so that both countries can work together" to meet the challenges of "stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,[2] It regularly meets with members of Congress and holds events where it can share its views. AIPAC has been effective in gaining support for Israel among members of Congress and White House administrations.
The New York Times described AIPAC on July 6, 1987 as "a major force in shaping United States policy in the Middle East."

Everybody wants the USA to withdraw - the American people, the Iraq people, the international community, etc. This article vividly shows why. We cannot protect the Iraiqs; we support the Iraq security forces and even our top generals admit in public that the bad guys have heavily infintrated the Iraq forces. We simply cannot do anything concrete to help the situation that we caused. Whatever hell is created by our withdrawal cannot possibly compare to what is now in Iraq.

The only ones keeping us in Iraq now are Congressional Republicans who vote to support President Bush. We must keep this in mind when we go to the polls next year.

This article gives us a glimpse of the human tragedy the Bush War has created.

There is no reason not to imagine that the reality is 100 times worse than dipicted by Ms. Logan.

The magnitude of daily death and destruction is overwhelming and America carries now the almost impossible responsibility to find a solution.

More iraqis will have died since their "liberation" than under Saddams' regime and there is no end in sight for its continuation.

The neocon philosophy of "pre-emptive" war and use of American military predominance to further the spread of democracy has failed.

The blood on the streets is the undeniable proof.
