So, the Iraq Invasion/Occupation was good for something, right? The Iraqi defector who gave the United States all that “intelligence” about Saddam’s Weapons of Mass Destruction and all that? He just made it all up, because he wanted America to topple Saddam. It worked! Tell whatever lies you want for whatever ends you desire. That is the lesson.
We know the exact numbers of U.S. military dead and injured (4,436 dead and 32,009 wounded) and have a vague idea of “reported Iraqi deaths” (between 100,000 and 109,000), and then there were who knows how many dead from the illness and malnutrition that comes from having an entire country’s infrastructure destroyed — water lines, health clinics, vaccines and common medicines, grocery stores, produce markets, dairies, etc. A lot of military contractors died, too. But they were in it for the Big Money, so nobody really counts them.
Funny this doesn't seem to be getting much play anywhere in the US Media.
Just another reason I will never mourn the death of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld or any of their cohorts. They have the blood of over 200,000 people on their hands and may they rot in hell.
