Who invited Zarqawi??

Adding to Greg Palast’ arti­cle “

The Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment tried in vain to seek a false political/military vic­to­ries to cover it’s fail­ure in Iraq, start­ing with Iraqis greets the occu­piers with flow­ers, the cap­ture of Sad­dam Hus­sein, until the last attempt; the cre­ation of Zar­qawi myth.

Zar­qawi, the ghost who as Bush claimed is respon­si­ble of Iraq’s eco­nomic dis­as­ter, the high price of fuels, dis­place­ment of tens of thou­sands of Iraqis, delayed pay­ment of salaries, no elec­tric­ity and lack of drink water.

Zar­qawi was every­where, in Bagh­dad, Dyalla, Fal­lu­jha, Ramadi, Mosul…etc, yet for­mer Iraq’s defense min­is­ter said:

al-Zarqawi was pretty close to being cap­tured in Fallujah….[the Amer­i­cans] delayed the oper­a­tion 10 days.

The for­mer Iraqi Defense Min­is­ter Hazem Sha’lan dur­ing a meet­ing in Amman.

Sur­pris­ingly that every Iraqi city destroyed, every Iraqi child mur­dered by Amer­i­can bul­lets, tens of thou­sands of detainees with­out trial in Buca and Abu Ghraib and other secret pris­ons, all were car­ried out to search for a ghost cre­ated by John Negroponte.

I bet yes.

    LB,

    Please clar­ify for us.

    Do you believe that Zar­qawi was a US agent?

    Or do you think he was an islamic ter­ror­ist and that the US exag­ger­ated his role?

    I can’t imag­ine that there was a more high pro­file fig­ure that we ignored in lieu of Zar­qawi. Was there an insur­gent leader who deserved more atten­tion than Zar­qawi? Please enlighten us. Maybe one rea­son that there was a lot of atten­tion on this guy was because he was an indi­vid­ual who claimed lead­er­ship of one of the most bru­tal groups in Iraq?

    I like this from your post:

    The Amer­i­can gov­ern­ment tried in vain to seek a false political/military vic­to­ries to cover it’s fail­ure in Iraq … the cre­ation of Zar­qawi myth.

    You link to some really irra­tional lala land stuff, but this one is great.

    We cre­ated Zar­qawi, a blood thirsty bru­tal killer whose abil­ity to oper­ate across Iraq at will was a thorn in the side of the Iraqi gov­er­ment and the MNF (and the thou­sands of Iraqis he killed), because we wanted a ‘false victory?’

    How have his oper­a­tions over the last 2–3 years pro­vided any sort of victory?

    Killing him was a good thing, but if our inten­tion was to score a fake ‘vic­tory’, I don’t see how his mur­der­ous ram­page for 3 years could be some­thing we wanted.

    I think you guys liked hav­ing him around because you could then claim to dif­fer­en­ti­ate between the whole­some ‘free­dom fight­ers’, and the blood thirsty AQ types. They really aren’t so dif­fer­ent as the news every day shows.

    Maybe we should take lessons from pallywood?

    But seri­ously, are you insin­u­at­ing that he never existed, and that it was just US agents blow­ing peo­ple up and slic­ing off heads?

    Or that he existed but ‘we’ hyped him. I mean, we hyped him more than all of his glo­ri­ous jihad videos that sold like hot­cakes in the ME and dis­trib­uted over the inter­net to the rap­tur­ous joy of his followers…

    Lady­bird,

    there are three paths that lie ahead for Iraq.

    The first path is true democ­racy where the gov­ern­ment val­ues, pro­tects, and serves all of its cit­i­zens equally. This is the path of gov­ern­ment by will­ing con­sent. It will be painful in its birth until enough cit­i­zens accept the notion of “major­ity con­sent” that the rule of law is empow­ered by the peo­ple themselves.

    The sec­ond path is an Iran­ian style gov­ern­ment of rule by major­ity. Under this for­mula the gov­ern­ment uses force to cre­ate a homoge­nous major­ity and then acts upon that major­ity. It gains the ven­ner of democ­racy but lacks the legit­i­macy of will­ing con­sent. This path will flow from sec­tar­ian back­lash if the major­ity sect chooses to seek secu­rity through forced sub­mis­sion while retain­ing the ven­ner of democ­racy. It is the least likely of the three paths since such a gov­ern­ing body can not come into exis­tence until the next election.

    The third path is that of sec­tar­ian civil war. The Shia and Kurd are now a well-armed tiger that does not real­ize its abil­ity to kill. In a civil war envi­ron­ment a mil­i­tary leader will step for­ward and show them how to go on the offen­sive. The sunni will be dec­i­mated. They have nei­ther guns nor num­bers nor resources to defend them­selves against such an onslaught. In the end, the gen­eral who leads them will become the next dic­ta­tor. This is the path desired by syria, iran, saudi, egypt, and other arab despots. It is the path that will legit­imize rather than threaten their own grip on power.

    Lady­bird, for a moment you should rise above your cul­tural innoc­u­la­tion and ask your­self one sim­ple ques­tion … “which of these three sce­nar­ios do you want for Iraq?” It does not mat­ter if you want some­thing else. They are no longer pos­si­ble. It will be one of three. Which one do you want? Do your actions and words sup­port this path or another? Presently, your actions and words are in sup­port of civil war. It may not be what you want, but it is still the thing that you are assist­ing. Is that what you want?

  13. moron99 says:

    RWE,

    in some places the entire world revolves around the jew V Arab con­flict. It is impos­si­ble for peo­ple liv­ing in this par­ral­lel uni­verse to imag­ine that almost all of the non-arab world really doesn’t care. It is unfath­omable that a coun­try such as amer­ica doesn’t take sides … much less revolve their entire nation around the issue.

    From the Pales­tin­ian per­spec­tive the rise of Iraq will dis­place pales­tine as the cen­tral theme of mideast pol­i­tics. As the peo­ple of the region begin to focus on their own per­sonal free­dom and the inep­ti­tudes of their own gov­ern­ment then there will be much less time left to dis­cuss the zion­ist plot. When Pales­tine becomes a local rather than regional issue then the pales­tini­ans and hamas will no longer enjoy sup­port of regimes like sad­dam and Iran. As such, the suc­cess of Iraq is a direct threat not only to the dic­ta­tors but to the pan-arabist and pales­tin­ian as well. Many would pre­fer to see all of Iraq con­sumed in flames than cede one inch of soil to the jew. In their twisted lit­tle world (aka A.P.U.) the lib­er­a­tion of Iraq is really a zion­ist plot to occupy arab land.

    Com­par­ing Bush to Hitler Unfair
    By Paul Revere

    Lately, there’ve been some spe­cious com­par­isons by some rather dis­grun­tled observers of our cur­rent polit­i­cal cli­mate com­par­ing Bush to Hitler. Well, in fact, some of these rather disin­gen­u­ous metaphors and asper­sions relat­ing the regime of dic­ta­tor Bush to Hitler are wildly and fatu­ously incon­gru­ous and quite unfair…to Hitler.

    Let’s take a brief look at the two indi­vid­u­als to illu­mi­nate some of the sim­i­lar­i­ties and disparities.

    Sim­i­lar to the Bush regime, Adolf Hitler came to power in Ger­many in 1933 as a result of a demo­c­ra­tic elec­tion process marked by back­room deals and polit­i­cal intrigues. At the time, Ger­many was fac­ing a cli­mate of extreme finan­cial infla­tion and depres­sion as a lin­ger­ing result of the dra­con­ian sanc­tions imposed by the west­ern allies at Ver­sailles sub­se­quent to the first world war. In order to solid­ify and con­sol­i­date over­whelm­ing pub­lic sup­port for Hitler’s assump­tion of power, the Reich­stag was burned to the ground and the Com­mu­nists were blamed, lead­ing the Nazis to declare a state of national emer­gency and insti­tute an entire slate of dra­con­ian laws severely lim­it­ing the civil rights of all Ger­man cit­i­zens and insti­tu­tions alike under the pre­text of pro­tect­ing national security.

    As the pre­ced­ing anec­dote reveals, a great deal of obvi­ous corol­lar­ies exist relat­ing to their respec­tive regimes’ mutual modus operandi. How­ever, there are very few sim­i­lar­i­ties between Hitler and Bush as individuals.

    First of all, Hitler served as a young foot sol­dier in his nation’s mil­i­tary and was wounded in bat­tle numer­ous times. Cor­po­ral Hitler served on the front lines as a com­mu­ni­ca­tions attaché and hero­ically faced enemy assault, mirac­u­lously sur­viv­ing the dev­as­ta­tion of his entire troop on a num­ber of occasions.

    George Bush slith­ered out of mil­i­tary duty dur­ing the Viet Nam War by secur­ing a cushy posi­tion in the Texas Air National Guard within a group euphemisti­cally referred to as “The Cham­paign Divi­sion.” This was a posi­tion reserved for the sons of rich and highly con­nected elit­ists who had the con­tacts to avoid involve­ment in com­bat oper­a­tions. Even so, Bush went AWOL and was unac­counted for dur­ing an 18-month period while he cavorted around Florida and other locales, sup­pos­edly work­ing on the cam­paigns of his father’s Repub­li­can bud­dies. Hitler was a bonafide war hero. Bush, a bonafide rich brat and coward.

    Sec­ond of all, Hitler was always noted for his extreme sobri­ety and was a noto­ri­ous tee-totaler. He was a veg­e­tar­ian for most of his life and paid scrupu­lous atten­tion to the main­te­nance of his health and men­tal acu­ity. He authored Mein Kampf, one of the highest-selling and best-known lit­er­ary works of all time. He was an accom­plished artist and scholar of Ger­man his­tory. Hitler was born into hum­ble cir­cum­stances and lived in poverty dur­ing his youth. He worked at menial jobs for years while read­ing and paint­ing and apply­ing to art school in Vienna. Despite his detrac­tors’ crit­i­cisms of his polit­i­cal phi­los­o­phy, even they con­cede he was one of the most com­pelling and per­sua­sive ora­tors of all time.

    Bush was a noto­ri­ous drunken phi­lan­derer through­out his youth and was 40 before he sup­pos­edly sobered up. He was arrested for DUI when he was 30, but yet again, never had to pay any real con­se­quences due to his father’s wealth and con­nec­tions. Dur­ing his cam­paign when asked by the press about his rumored his­tory with drugs and alco­hol, he con­tin­u­ally evaded the ques­tion by say­ing he has been sober since he was 40. Bush has never had a real job in the con­ven­tional sense and prob­a­bly has never filled out a work appli­ca­tion in his life. His father’s con­nec­tions pro­vided an easy entrée into the oil busi­ness where he was able sim­ply to buy him­self into an exec­u­tive posi­tion before assum­ing the stew­ard­ship of the Texas Rangers base­ball team under the same type of cir­cum­stances. His “job” with the Rangers con­sisted mainly of glad-handing with the polit­i­cal and finan­cial aris­toc­racy of Hous­ton and Dal­las. This led to his estab­lish­ing an image as a “bon­homie” in the con­ser­v­a­tive ranks of the Repub­li­can Party and his even­tual elec­tion to the gov­er­nor­ship of Texas which, in itself, was a tac­ti­cal maneu­ver to posi­tion him for the White­house. It is widely rumored that the famous “pret­zel” inci­dent which occurred early in his pres­i­dency was in fact no more than a cover up for a drunken binge. The offi­cial story was that a pret­zel got caught in his wind pipe caus­ing him to pass out, which on its face, is patently ridicu­lous. There­after, reli­able sources leaked a report that he sim­ply passed out from being over ine­bri­ated while watch­ing a foot­ball game. Bush’s aca­d­e­mic cre­den­tials are unre­mark­able at best. He was a sub-average stu­dent through­out his aca­d­e­mic career. His admis­sion to Yale was obvi­ously a result of, once again, his fam­i­lies con­nec­tions, as cer­tainly his aca­d­e­mic cre­den­tials were barely suf­fi­cient to war­rant admis­sion to any insti­tute of higher learn­ing what­so­ever, much less an ivy league one. Quite in con­trast with the schol­ar­ship of Hitler, it is doubt­ful if Bush even reads books at all, let alone hav­ing authored any. Bush’s numer­ous gaffes, ver­bal mis­pro­nun­ci­a­tions and syn­tac­ti­cal blun­ders dur­ing press inter­views have become the stuff of leg­end and stand-up fodder.

    Hitler inher­ited a national econ­omy in a state of ruins. In just two years he revived the Ger­man indus­trial base and brought the Ger­man peo­ple back to work in droves. He recon­sti­tuted a sense of national pride in the Ger­man peo­ple and directed their renowned work ethic towards rebuild­ing Ger­many into a world-class indus­trial power.

    George Bush inher­ited a national econ­omy which was the envy of the world and brought it to a state of ruins vir­tu­ally overnight. In the first two years of his regime, two mil­lion Amer­i­cans had lost their jobs and the stock mar­ket con­tin­ued into a pre­cip­i­tous decline.

    Bush, who cam­paigned on the plat­form of smaller gov­ern­ment and reduced spend­ing, has presided over the largest expan­sion of gov­ern­ment bureau­cracy and spend­ing largesse in Amer­i­can his­tory. He promises that low­er­ing taxes will put the Amer­i­can peo­ple back to work. The prob­lem with some­one like Bush who has never had a real job is he doesn’t under­stand that lower taxes are mean­ing­less to the unemployed.

    Hitler did sur­rounded him­self with a cabal of racist syco­phants who mar­shaled Germany’s resources for the pur­pose of impe­ri­al­is­tic mil­i­tary adven­tures against her neigh­bors. He insti­tuted a secret police force for the pur­pose of con­trol­ling and elim­i­nat­ing dis­sent within the ranks of the bureau­cracy and the civil­ian pop­u­lace. He also is reputed to have engaged in eth­nic and social cleans­ing tech­niques against Jews, Gyp­sies, Poles, homo­sex­u­als, and other groups. How­ever, he did these things for the sake of what he con­sid­ered to be the ben­e­fit of Ger­many and the Aryan race.

    Bush has sur­rounded him­self with a cabal of fanat­i­cal Zion­ists and ide­o­logues who have mar­shaled America’s resources for the pur­pose of impe­r­ial designs upon nations many thou­sands of miles away from her bor­ders that pose no threat to Amer­i­can shores. So who are the ben­e­fi­cia­ries? Clearly, he has not done this for the sake of Amer­i­cans, but for the ben­e­fit of Israel and the Zion­ist fifth col­umn in Wash­ing­ton, his con­stituency of far-right, loony Chris­t­ian fanat­ics, and his petro-fascist pals at Hal­libur­ton and the big oil group, since these are the few who will reap any rewards. Cer­tainly, it won’t be the Amer­i­can tax­payer and it cer­tainly won’t be the Iraqis who ben­e­fit from the phony democ­racy that Don “Him­ler” Rums­feld and his flunkies pur­port to be estab­lish­ing there.

    In fact, this mil­i­tary escapade was launched upon a far­rago of lies, pro­pa­ganda and a cha­rade involv­ing so called “weapons of mass destruc­tion” which has since been proven false by default. The only real “accom­plish­ment” that can be claimed as a result is the alien­ation of most of America’s allies and the dis­man­tling of the insti­tu­tional frame­work of inter­na­tional law and diplo­macy which has been the lynch­pin of world sta­bil­ity for over half a century.

    Bush and his cohorts, John ” Big Brother” Ashcroft and “Slick” Dick Cheney, have worked to insti­tute broad and sweep­ing attacks on civil lib­er­ties and effec­tively dis­man­tled the Con­sti­tu­tion through the so called ” Patriot Act.” Bush has sum­mar­ily con­verted Amer­ica into the vis­age of a Texas-style police state on steroids. After the Pentagon’s dom­i­na­tion of a third-world, rag-tag army in Iraq, he set up the Navy as a stage prop for a crude and shame­less photo op as he strut­ted and pranced across the decks of an air­craft car­rier tout­ing his “glo­ri­ous vic­tory.” He is using the Amer­i­can mil­i­tary for his own, per­sonal self aggran­dize­ment and for the finan­cial and geo-political advan­tage of his cronies in the Car­lyle Group.

    The main dif­fer­ence between Bush and Hitler was that Hitler worked on behalf of Ger­many and the Aryan Peo­ple with a view towards end­ing the finan­cial and polit­i­cal stran­gle­hold the Zion­ist Jews enjoyed in Europe. Bush oper­ates on behalf and at the behest of this alien power struc­ture that vests its alle­giance in the greater hege­mony of the Zion­ist suprema­cists across the globe and the petro-power elite in Amer­ica, not on behalf of real work­ing Americans.

    In short, Bush is a trai­tor, pure and sim­ple. Hitler sim­ply doesn’t begin to compare.

    moron,

    Your first sce­nario for Iraq — gov­ern­ment by will­ing con­sent — is unre­al­is­tic. It isn’t going to hap­pen in the forsee­able future.

    The sec­ond and third sce­nar­ios are both good pos­si­bil­i­ties, with the third, sec­tar­ian civil war, the more likely.

    The US/UK coali­tion can­not remain in Iraq with­out the sit­u­a­tion dete­ri­o­rat­ing because it is reviled by the major­ity of Iraqis and it is act­ing as a mag­net for recruit­ing armed ene­mies. But if the coali­tion pulls out, the Iraqi gov­ern­ment maybe too weak to main­tain order.This is a dilemma.

    But for­tu­nately, there is another, much more promis­ing sce­nario. Replace the US/UK coali­tion with a UN peace­keep­ing force made up of sol­diers from Mus­lim coun­tries. Obvi­ous solu­tion really. Amaz­ing nobody in DC has thought about it up to now.

    hitler was a fair artist, not an accom­plished one. he was also mid­dle class. the only time he lived in poverty was when he was bum in vienna.

    ” Despite his detrac­tors’ crit­i­cisms of his polit­i­cal phi­los­o­phy, even they con­cede he was one of the most com­pelling and per­sua­sive ora­tors of all time.”

    his detrac­tors! haha. damn crit­ics. spoil­ing my genocide.

    Bush was a noto­ri­ous drunken phi­lan­derer through­out his youth and was 40 before he sup­pos­edly sobered up.”

    he did sober up and hasnt killed 50 mil last i checked. you really are sick.…you are com­par­ing bush to a geno­ci­dal maniac.

    He was arrested for DUI when he was 30, but yet again, never had to pay any real con­se­quences due to his father’s wealth and con­nec­tions. Dur­ing his cam­paign when asked by the press about his rumored his­tory with drugs and alcohol,”

    lol. whoa that evil bush.…you really do take your­self seri­ously? you go on and on about bush being a rich brat (wish i was!) but there doesnt seem to be any­thing about killing 50 million.

    itler inher­ited a national econ­omy in a state of ruins. In just two years he revived the Ger­man indus­trial base and brought the Ger­man peo­ple back to work in droves. He recon­sti­tuted a sense of national pride in the Ger­man peo­ple and directed their renowned work ethic towards rebuild­ing Ger­many into a world-class indus­trial power.”

    then started a world war…oh but i guess you read up on that =)

    George Bush inher­ited a national econ­omy which was the envy of the world and brought it to a state of ruins vir­tu­ally overnight. ”

    baha­ha­haha!!! yeah, the USA has collapsed.

    In the first two years of his regime, two mil­lion Amer­i­cans had lost their jobs and the stock mar­ket con­tin­ued into a pre­cip­i­tous decline. ”

    AND he spared the jews!

    He also is reputed to have engaged in eth­nic and social cleans­ing tech­niques against Jews, Gyp­sies, Poles, homo­sex­u­als, and other groups. How­ever, he did these things for the sake of what he con­sid­ered to be the ben­e­fit of Ger­many and the Aryan race. ”

    In case you didn’t know, the U.S. sup­plies almost a quar­ter of the UN’s fund­ing. So the U.S. would still be in the picture.

    Not quite, they are sup­posed to con­tribute nearly as much as the EU but so far have failed to come up with only about 50%. I guess the print­ing presses at the FRB are a lit­tle slow.

    yep soooo similar.”

    You mean the ter­ror­ist attack? I agree. It’s like they both had read “The Dia­logue in Hell between Machi­avelli and Montesquieu”.

    whats 50 mil dead when you refused to eat animals”

    So, because Bush hasn’t racked up the body count that Hitler did, the cou­ple hun­dred thou­sand he did kill are inconsequential?

    damn crit­ics. spoil­ing my genocide.”

    Does a cou­ple hun­dred thou­sand inno­cent dead count as geno­cide yet?

    you are com­par­ing bush to a geno­ci­dal maniac”

    Yeah, what’s a cou­ple of hun­dred thou­sand dead.

    but there doesnt seem to be any­thing about killing 50 million”

    Shit. Bush has already killed almost as many US sol­diers in his fiasco as died in the 9/11 attacks. Not only has he not caught bin Laden, he’s attacked a nation that had no involv­ment in the attacks and killed a cou­ple hun­dred thou­sand inno­cent peo­ple to boot.

    then started a world war”

    And Bush started the Petro­leum Wars. What’s your point?

    yeah, the USA has collapsed.”

    The US is over 8 tril­lion dol­lars in debt. The US posted a $759 bil­lion dol­lar trade deficit for 2005. The US dol­lar has dropped in value by about 13% over the past year due to the release of large amounts of cur­rency and a raised debt ceil­ing. We’re deep in debt to those who could be a threat to us and US exports have become unpop­u­lar overseas.

    AND he spared the jews!”

    But killed hun­dreds of thou­sands of inno­cent Arabs.

    its time to write you off wacko”

    If you have some­thing pos­i­tive to say about Bush, lets hear it. Up until now you haven’t said jack shit that means anything.

    Jeremy — “Find some­thing that is cohe­sive with the point”

    2004 silly”

    Bush had a small lead on Kerry in 2004, but with all the “vot­ing irreg­u­lar­i­ties” in the state that ulti­mately decided it, Ohio, who knows what really hap­pened. That state should have had a re-vote and all the ille­gally dis­en­franchized vot­ers should have been counted.

    Regard­less, Bush’s first term was as a result of an appoint­ment, rather than a demo­c­ra­tic elec­tion in the same way Hitler rose to power.

    there is lit­tle to no sim­i­lar­ity between the nazis rise and bush’s”

    There are all sorts of sim­i­lar­i­ties to the events and atti­tudes of Nazi Ger­many and things that are hap­pen­ing here and now. Of course the sit­u­a­tion is dif­fer­ent. It is 60 years later.

    In Nazi Ger­many, there was a surge in the pop­u­lar­ity of crack­pot Chris­t­ian cults. Hitler had his own brand of Chris­tian­ity that led him to killing off mil­lions of Jews, blacks, gays and what­ever other unde­sir­ables. Bush has his own crack­pot Chris­t­ian ide­ol­ogy that has led him to killing hun­dreds of thou­sands of inno­cent mus­lims. Remem­ber when he said God told him to attack Afghanistan and Iraq?

    In Ger­man soci­ety, there was a fer­vor of “patri­otic” nation­al­ism, xeno­pho­bia and racism, just like here in Amer­ica. The Nazis had brown­shirts. We have cyber­brown­shirts called blogtrolls (that’s you). The whole pol­i­tics of the two sit­u­a­tions is quite sim­i­lar. Bush and Hitler ran of a plat­form of “fam­ily val­ues”. They both believed that dri­ving their nations into mas­sive debt is a posi­ti­tive eco­nomic pol­icy. They are both intol­er­ant of those who don’t share their lifestyles. On and on the sim­i­lar­i­ties will go because they are fol­low­ing Machiavelli’s twelve-step pro­gram for con­vert­ing a demo­c­ra­tic repub­lic into a “benev­o­lent” despotism.

    respond to the ass whoop­ing i gave you over that stu­pid goer­ing quote”

    You haven’t given any­one an ass­whoop­ing on this blog. Your com­ments are devoid of any con­tent. You don’t really express your ide­ol­ogy other than that of sup­port for Bush no mat­ter how he sub­verts the Con­sti­tu­tion. If you’d express an opin­ion or maybe orga­nize some facts into coher­ant log­i­cal processes, then we could get down to business.

    yeah that was staged.”

    I’m not a con­spir­acy the­o­rist. How­ever, I am some­one who has been around enough to know that if a his­tor­i­cal event wasn’t an “act of God”, some­one con­spired to bring it about. That’s just how the world works. One thing you don’t want to do is fall into a trap where you dis­miss the idea of con­spir­acy and get blindly led astray. I know the US gov­ern­ment has mis­be­haved in the past, so it is wise to keep your eyes open.

    If you think that there is no motive for such con­spir­a­cies to occur, then you don’t real­ize that all the Bush cronies will clean up to the tune of about 2.2 tril­lion dol­lars. That’s a hell of a motive. The rob­bery of course funded by Iraqi oil prof­its and higher taxes when Bush leaves office.

    hitler was a vagrant. bush was rich. id rather be rich too.”

    Hitler ended up becom­ing the high­est of the elite in Nazi Germany.

    amaz­ing who you admire jon.”

    I admire peo­ple you prob­a­bly don’t even respect, such as Thomas Jef­fer­son, James Madi­son, James Mon­roe and more recently, Harry Browne.

    bush isnt even in the same uni­verse as hitler on this one.”

    In this fun­da­men­tal­ist Chris­t­ian heaven you believe in, will Saint Peter be stand­ing out­side the Pearly Gates divid­ing peo­ple into groups based on the num­ber of dig­its in your body count?

    You call your­self a Chris­t­ian, yet you will­ing sup­port the slaugh­ter of hun­dreds of thou­sands of peo­ple. Do you think Jesus was the type of man who would con­done such death and destruc­tion of inno­cent peo­ple? If you’re really a Chris­t­ian, shouldn’t you emu­late the behav­ior and beliefs of your messiah?

    I’ll tell you what I know. I know that there is a cou­ple of hun­dred thou­sand dead Iraqis. I also know that a cou­ple of hun­dred thou­sand “ter­ror­ists” did not have a sud­den pil­grim­age to Iraq. While ter­ror­ists may have also been killed, I’m guess­ing that some­where in the neigh­bor­hood of about 99.999% of all those peo­ple we blew up where prob­a­bly not involved in any sort of ter­ror­ism. Plenty of babies have been turned into ham­burger by Bush for me to be cer­tain he’s killing inno­cent people.

    shock­ing that you dont sup­port this”

    What is shock­ing is that you will­ingly sup­port the slaugh­ter of hun­dreds of thou­sands of inno­cent peo­ple in an ille­gal war of aggres­sion… and you can still sleep at night. I’d bet a hun­dred bucks that you have some kind of anti-social per­son­al­ity disorder.

    claimed again. source? warn­ing: must be credible”

    Shit, then we are at an impasse because I won’t post any of that fas­cist dri­vel from Fox News.

    http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Operation_Iraqi_Freedom:_Iraqi_casualties

    Since the begin­ning of Oper­a­tion Iraqi Free­dom, the mat­ter of Iraqi casu­al­ties — a body count, that is the num­ber of Iraqis killed in action (KIA) — has not been forth­com­ing from U.S. mil­i­tary officials.

    We don’t do body counts.“
    GEN Tommy R. Franks, CENTCOM.

    So it’s pretty tough to get a real read­ing on the Iraqi death toll, because we don’t give a shit enought o count all the bod­ies we blow up.

    FAIR writes that, “Accord­ing to a study pub­lished in the respected British med­ical jour­nal The Lancet [Octo­ber 29, 2004], about 100,000 Iraqi civil­ians have died as a result of the war. The major­ity of deaths were due to vio­lence, pri­mar­ily as a result of U.S.-led mil­i­tary action,” although “one of the researchers on the project said that the esti­mate is likely a con­ser­v­a­tive one,” accord­ing to the Octo­ber 29, 2004, New York Times.

    i said he isnt a nazi or a fas­cist you stu­pid ass. can you read? prove oth­er­wise please.”

    I didn’t say he was a Nazi. I said he is a fas­cist. The proof is that George Bush’s polit­i­cal ide­ol­ogy is sci­en­tif­i­cally labeled “fas­cist”. You should have stayed in school. This sci­ence stuff can be use­ful sometimes.

    christ youre a bore…i kinda like assorted wackos but you can barely defend yourself.”

    Yeah, I’m really drown­ing in this dis­cus­sion. You must be the pres­i­dent of your high school debat­ing team.

    please give the rea­sons why bush is a fascist.”

    Not going to tell you again. Just go back up and reread until you can get it into your head. Or, maybe you can break with fam­ily tra­di­tion and take a polit­i­cal sci­ence course at your local com­mu­nity col­lege… or is a lib­eral arts edu­ca­tion to “lib­eral” for you. :-D

    i fig­ure you are just some dum­b­ass kid who thinks he knows whats up. pssst…you dont. grow up and stop embar­rass­ing yourself.”

    You prob­a­bly don’t real­ize that the funny part is that every­thing you type just shrieks “dum­b­ass kid”. You’re like a joke. Every­thing you say is almost com­i­cally wrong. Your head is so far up your ass, I’m sur­prised you can still breath.

    lol. well hitler had honor dangit!”

    You keep on think­ing that while you stand there clutch­ing your sperm-stained copy of Mein Kempf.

    Stu­pid guys fin­ish last because they have no intelligence.”

    Bull­shit. Bush has an IQ of about 80 and he’s the pres­i­dent. The most ruth­less fin­ish first. You prob­a­bly think that being ruth­less is smart, though, but that’s because you are devoid of honor. God wasted a per­fectly good set of tes­ti­cles when he made you.
