Real reasons for the Iraq invasion (repost)

[jimboloco]

Some how vietnam was blamed on the civilians fuking up the military program, same thing this time, so it was a war of choice, a war of greed, so the generals said three hundred to five hundred thousand boots on the ground, fuk those generals find some one more ambitious. Do it on the cheap more bang for the buck. Not only was it a war of choice, it was a ill concieved and planned war. And now here we are. It has to all fall down. We pave the way for Iran to take over, but not before we try to provoke the Israelis into attacking their nuclear power plant like they did to Iraz

ah yes, time will tell
Iran would be a formidable opponent
ther peoples are intelligent and profoundly resilient, circa 5,000 years of resilience, a great history
and they would pour over into eastern Iraq down thru the Shihit territories, from eastern Baghdad to Basra and the lower Mesopotamian rivers valley.
and Al the Great bought the farm in Babylon

but not really as you know there is the official truth
and alternative truths. but the repetitive nature of the history of American militarism actually since the late 19th century, if you don't count the 300 preceeding years before that when the influx of conquistadores and ethnic cleansing of the indigenous peoples passed on into history, is one of a real collusion between wealthy corporate interests and a war based economy.

Chalabi is now the Oil Minister in Iraq, and the pipeline from the Caspian Sea will run thru Afghanistan down to the Arabian Sea as well, with administration appointees in Kabul on assignment to negotiate that process.

Yes the Taliban are gone and in Iraq they have a pending multiparty parlimentary government, and seeing the peoples voting and becoming new police and militarios is endearing.

so may say it is a done deal, but the buildup to the Iraq War was a scripted scenario. why couldn't they just say, we wanna depose Saddamn and install a multiparty government? of course said government is favorable to American and British Corporate interests.

and lots of money was made from the war, all the weapons contractors, the rest of the privatisation geng, and the people revered the soldiers and they bought it en mass.

but never mind the casualties. never mind the appalling deficit. and especially never mind if the rich get richer while the domestic infrastructure inside America is stagnnant at best.

i really enjoyed mnaz's diatribes!
and actually knip's initial musing gave the conversation an added dimension, carry it on.
