Since we have gone into Iraq, in 2002, approx. 26,719 civilians have been killed as a result of our invasion. Over 23 years, it has been said that Saddam killed over 61,000 citizens. If the law of averages applies to our current killing spree of 8906 Iraqi’s a year, in 23 years, we will manage to kill 204,838.
Now, these won’t all be from warfare. A large number will be from interrogations, prison conditions, destroyed water and sewage plants, and our militaries favorite, Depleted Uranium.
Now, we are attempting to install our will on the Iraqi’s by forcing a constitution on them, that they clearly do not want.
While all this has been going on, an illegally imprisoned Saddam sits and contemplates offers from the United States to “Throw the trial” in order to receive either a life prison term, in a US country club, or exile, to a sympathetic country. Why, you ask, would he do this? Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush.
Saddam knows where the bodies are buried (no pun intended), and who put them there.
Rumsfeld not only supplied Saddam with lethal gas, but supplied the mercenaries to assist him against Iran, and the Kurds.
Cheney and his connections to Haliburton have stood to rake in Billions upon Billions of dollars from stolen, unmetered oil, and the supplying of inflated priced goods, not only to the US Military, but to the Iraqi’s, as well.
And, the Bush Family, Poppy included, are the biggest worriers. For years they have been dealing with Saddam, against Iran, hiding their connections to the oil flowing out of Iraq, and using him as an “Ace in the Hole” against the Saudi Royal Family and Turkey.
If Saddam goes on trial, he’ll talk. If he is killed, in our custody, he will become a martyr. So, that leaves one choice. He’ll join Noriega and a few other high profile ex-rulers, or Idi Amin, wherever he is.
Before you, my dear, pissed off opposition start commenting furiously, on this article, ask yourself this. If the United States hands are soooo clean, why have Bush and company fought tooth and nail to distance us so far from being part of an International Court, which has been founded on the principals set forth, in part, from the Nuremberg Tribunal. If our soldiers are brought up on trial, they’ll talk about orders. If our Officers are brought up on trial, they’ll talk about where those orders came from.
And, if that happens, you’re going to see “Pigs Fly”, because, Bush and friends will never allow that to get in their way.
‘Nuff Said.
That reminds me of something I saw....
