Mid-East press anger at Falluja assault (US = Saddam Hussein)

[LynnTheDem]

Beside the human catastrophe in making Falluja a ghost city, one should wonder at this point whether there is any difference between what the US forces claim to stand for and what former President Saddam Hussein stood for.

Commentary in Qatar's al-Watan

The American forces are expected to increase their barbaric acts in the hope of finishing off once and for all the Iraqi resistance so that they can have peace and realize their aims, foremost of which is the rearrangement of the country in such a way that would enable their new allies to hide behind "a false legitimacy" which they will use to open a new phase in which the final word will be that of ruling gang in Tel Aviv.

And these are our "allies". Way to go, bush. Way to fucking go.

1. Well I have been saying that for over a year now...

who has killed more innocent people? I would wager asshat has, including our soldiers in his bogus crusade.

4. I really fail to see how they are better

off under the crushing weight of the US military occupation then they were under Saddam. Our military is just as brutal, much more efficient and far less discriminate. It is no wonder that the US is hated by the world.

6. Well let's see...we've found 5000 remains in mass graves and bush now says

"thousands", instead of the "hundreds of thousands" he kept saying before his fucking invasion of an innocent country. And keep in mind those remains all date back to the 1990s.

But let's go ahead and take bush's original bullshit rhetoric, "300,000" killed by Saddam Hussein in 24 years of reign.

And so far bush has killed 1300 troops, and 100,000 Iraqi civilians.

In 18 months.

7. 100,000 was a conservative estimate in that study...

it is very likely more than 200,000 dead civilians. That does not take into account the people suffering right now from DU exposure and lack of basic needs(clean water, medicines) that will likely die as well due to this crusade. Half a million dead easily when all is said and done. I am sure it adds to bush*s "God Syndrome".

2. WAR IS TERRORISM

until people understand this there is no hope for any kind of peace in this world

[DELUSIONAL]

3. Will the bastard bushie listen to the International "focus group"?

Can an out cry from the world stop this slaughter and the next and the next and the next and the next?

I have the feeling that MAN DATE bush doesn't give a damn what anyone says unless they agree with him.

8. in general..

While the princes may consent to the will of Imperal America, the majority of Muslims in these counrties do not support the slaughter of Muslims, or the crusade.

The princes and dictators are "our" allies, I wouldn't count the general population in that catagory....

And, when the revolutions do come to these contries in time, we will somehow be shocked at how many ready made enimies we will have.

9. i'm shocked! i'm awed!

no i'm not.

[JoFerret]

10. Where have the 250,000 people of Fallujah gone?

...where are they?

In Vietnam they had to destroy a village to save it. And we were shocked. Now they are destroying a city to save it.
Where is the outrage?
The country is in a state of delusion - much of it - a dreamlike hallucinatory state where wrong is right and bad is good and war is an addiction that lasts forever.
