Thought for the day
The World’s Number One Terrorist has now been causing mayhem for four years.
It is worth noting that more Americans have been killed in Iraq than died in the World Trade Centre attack.
So George W is doing Al Qaeda’s work for them and more successfully.
That of course doesn’t include other nationalities. And it doesn’t include civilians – men, women and children.
Actual figures are given here.
And what was this for?
Is Iraq a safer place without Saddam? Emphatically no.
Were there Weapons of Mass Destruction? No.
Is America a safer place? No. Iraq was never a threat anyway.
What has this unilateral war achieved apart from murder and mayhem? Nothing.
I saw two people interviewed during the week. One was an Iraqi who was emphatically anti-Saddam four years ago. He now wishes Saddam was back. “He was tyrant but, but this is far far worse”. The other was a poor deluded American soldier. He has lost both legs and has a severely disfigured arm. But he says “he is glad he went because America is now a safer place”.
What kind of madness is this?
He (the soldier) probably has to say shit like that or he might lose his VA benefits!
Could be. I doubt it though, because they interviewed a load of them in Iraq and they were all saying much the same. The poor sods are brainwashed.
Hey Grandad, might it be possible that you are one who is brainwashed?

How is America a safer place?
# Brianf, I beg to disagree, despite whatever you managed newsite might have you believe, the average Iraqis hate US for doing them in. The small minority who agree with that news bit are actually third generation Iraqi migrants in US and UK. I have actually had many dinners with the local kind, a remarkable feat for an American but pinch for us.
They teach their children, especially daughters to stay away from Americans. They really like Americans but when they are dead and harmless.
I can donate you my videos (they let me keep my CDs) if you have an Arabic translator nearby and promise not to try to let Bush drop mortar bombs on my roof.
And by the way the Iraqis change citizenship to Iranian and profession to terrorists after they are shot or bombed to death by Americans.
