Iraq Meltdown

by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr. 5/27/2003 Friday, May. 30, 2003 at 1:49 AM

As was predicted ad infinitum prior to the Bush Junta's Resource War - the Iraqi People have not met their conquerors with opens. Instead they are using small Arms.



How goes it in Iraq? Well, let's check those reliable folks who gave us the war in the first place, those googling warriors over at nationalreview.com. Let's see. Looking now at the front page. Here's an article attacking the New York Times for their coverage of campus neocons. Here's a piece on Los Angeles politics. Here's another calling for more school integration, another examining the EU constitution, another on the glories of the death penalty, a piece on some bureaucratic struggle between the FBI and Bush's new department, and two pieces (1 and 2) calling for war with Iran.

 

That's Iran with an N.

 

For Iraq news, you have to go elsewhere. It turns out that 7 US troops have been killed in 36 hours, and more wounded. Iraqis are risking life and limb, and paying with their lives, to kill the occupying military. They are using small arms, and receiving return fire from Bradley fighting vehicles. And let's not blame the "remnants of the Baath party" or any of that other nonsense. A street vendor told MSNBC: "Every Iraqi is ready to sacrifice his life for resistance. We are 26 million Iraqis, and we are all resisting, and, God willing, occupation will end."

 

Meanwhile, the economy remains in shambles. Progress is always being made, we are told by the US military, in restoring electricity and water. Making progress is not hard when you start at the bottom. Looting is constant. And what is the US doing about it? Confiscating arms from those who are trying to defend their property. Coming: more and more talk of civil war.

 

Onward to Iran!

send them to Baghdad

by Meyer London Friday, May. 30, 2003 at 3:39 PM

Surely one does not have to be young or in top physical shape to do what the troops in Baghdad are doing now - patrolling the streets in hmvees as outraged residents shoot them and blow them up with rockets and bombs. Since so many armchair militarists - including some who post here - were so enthusiastic about sending teenagers over to be killed, why not bring the teenagers home and put these phonies to work in Baghdad. When they are not patrolling the streets they can be put to work cleaning up radioactive waste from depleted uranium shells and looted nuclear power plants, or working as orderlies in hospitals that treat horribly burned or otherwise injured Iraqi children. If the militarists are still alive after a year of that, they can then be sent into the desert with a three-day supply of water to look for weapons of mass destruction.

Promises

by Meyer London Friday, May. 30, 2003 at 5:52 PM

Let's see, the bloody Israeli invasion of Lebanon was going to end terrorism and bring peace, then the invasion of Afghanistan was going to do that, then the invasion of Iraq was going to do it for sure, plus get rid of "weapons of mass destruction." And the coming invasions of Colombia, Syria and Iran will ... Well, they will make a lot of money for the "defense" industry, bring back the draft so that unemployed young people won't turn to rioting, street crime or radicalism, and they will help to focus people's minds on "victories" by our "heroes" instead of job insecurity, lost pensions, looting of companies by "executives," skyrocketing rents and home prices, deteriorating schools and health care, and the continuing decline in real wages earned by working people over the past several decades. And, I almost forgot to add, this time our brave boys will end terrorism and find the weapons of mass destruction for sure.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

by Meyer London Friday, May. 30, 2003 at 6:04 PM

China and Russia have real weapons of mass destruction - not empty trash cans in a dump truck. That is exactly why Bushy tail won't even think of invading them.
