In the wake of 9/11, Iraq posed no more of a threat than Outer Mongolia to the ‘free world’ either in economic or military terms. Intelligence reports made that clear at the time.
Rather, Iraq provided a scapegoat for the American Hawk and British Poodle, keen to steer attention away from the Saudis, whilst seen to be taking action against terrorism.
Heavens forfend that Pretzel Boy should have gone upsetting any of his Saudi Royal Family buddies , and The Grinning Dolt was so far up his arsen-wenger that Pretzel Boy used him to floss his teeth and purge his sinuses!Incidentally, and entirely tenuously, regarding Rhodesia. I used to be best friends with Sir Cecil Rhodes granddaughter. Until I pushed her over in the playground coz she didn’t want to be my friend anymore what with I’d cut a chunk of her fringe off in sewing class. Happy memories..
:roll:7 June, 2008 at 6:00 pm #343064Well it’s very fashionable these days to claim to want to pull out of Iraq ASAP. Even that paragon of wimmin’s virtue Hilary Clinton voted to invade at the time and has now totally altered her view and wants to leave.
Bush bashing is currently something of an art form but then memories are short eh? The second Iraq war has to be seen in the context of the first Iraq war to get its true flavour.
But whether or not you agree that there might possibly have been some sort of vaguely plausible reason to invade Iraq at the time (even if you don’t now) one thing is for absolutely certain……. there is no excuse or reason whatsoever to take military action against Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) – or indeed several of the other equally despotic and equally corrupt African countries.

Robert Mugabe has been torturing and butchering for years, in a reign of terror which makes Saddam Hussein’s efforts look amateur by comparison. Yet, only now, after the attack and detainment of British and American diplomats by Mugabe’s henchmen, are voices raised in anger towards the murderous regime.
Whilst America described the attack on its diplomats as “Outrageous” with an assurance that it would be raised at The United Nations Security Council. David Milliband, British Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, apparently concerned of saying anything that would feed more propaganda to Mugabe’s regime, said the incident gave us “A window into the lives of ordinary Zimbabweans, a window into lives that are marked sometimes by quite brutal intimidation, by torture and, in 53 cases documented in the last few weeks, by death.”
D’uh! Not weeks, matey. Try “years!” Of course, Zimbabwe would have been raised to the ground and Mugabe, swinging from a gibbet were Harare noted for oil rather than harassment.
Now, in the run up to the second round of presidential polls, scheduled for 27 June, Mugabe’s government not only continues a campaign of intimidation and brutality, with leader of the Movement for Democratic Change, Morgan Tsvangirai being chivvied, abused, arrested and released without charge, but Mugabe’s regime, in charge of a 12 million poulation, a third of whom are starving to death, have now announced that they are banning all food aid distribution. And this after the murdering barstard Mugabe, was allowed to attend the food summit in Rome. What a joke.
So, just what heinous crime must Mugabe perpetrate before we take the action that we shouldn’t have taken in Iraq? Spit in George Bush’s pretzels? Shiit in Big Broon’s porridge? Or perhaps, discover good old ‘liquid gold’ shooting out from a gusher in the centre of Hwange National Park?He is an absolute disgrace to world democracy Es, and if Zimbabwe were rich in oil he would be deposed by the caring western governments. Go figure.
