Another Iraqi Comment on Jamail's article
and Bush's War On Iran

Comment by Larry Ross, May 11, 2006

Here is another good comment on Dahr Jamail's article and the expected U.S. war on Iran. He raises the question as to why the Europeans seem to be playing Bush's game and why IAEA's El Baradei is not warning about Bush's intentions to use nuclear weapons. The international community seems to be fiddling and game playing while Bush is planning a major war, even nuclear war. Why?

Undiplomatic observations .. which translates into: True observations

"It is only when more people in the US begin to fathom the totality of the destruction in Iraq," writes Dahr Jamail, "that one may expect to hear the public outcry and uprising necessary to end the occupation and bring to justice the war criminals responsible for these conditions. Until that happens, make no mistake: all of us participate in a new Iraq, our hands dyed in the blood of innocents."

"There's no doubt that if the war in Iraq had been the “cakewalk” the neocons expected, Marines would be unfurling “Old Glory” in downtown Teheran right now. Bush has never wavered in his plan to topple the Islamic regime or to put Iran's vast petroleum reserves under American control. In fact, the administration's own policy papers, including the National Security Strategy (NSS) as well as the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) assert that the United States has the right to claim these resources if it is in our national interests.

Everyone knows Bush's grand-plan for the Middle East, so why are the IAEA and Security Council pretending that the administration is genuinely interested in Iran's fictitious nuclear weapons program?
Haven't they seen this charade before?

It's impossible that the main players don't understand Bush's real intentions or know that the nuclear issue is simply a pretext for war. Bush has telegraphed his belligerence at every opportunity even going so far as to announce to the Iranian people that his hostility is not directed at them, but at their government.
Bush's appeal to the Iranian people is absurd. He's asking them to abandon any sense of national loyalty so that he can violently replace the regime with an American client.

	The Horrifying Reality of the U.S. in Iraq	Comment by Larry Ross	May 11, 2006
	Dahr Jamail's article is real news about the American genocide in Iraq. It may shock and horrify you. You may wonder what Bush and his neocons hope to achieve by their systematic, murder, torture, and imprisonments of innocent Iraqis. This horrifying mass murder is sold by Bush's, Tony Blair's and John Howard's propaganda machines, including the mass media in the U.S., U.K. and Australia as "bringing democracy to the middle east" and that the only opponents are "terrorists etc" The media will never mention the horrific reality revealed by this fearless, on-the-spot reporter. Would you like to help stop these outrages? There really is no end to what a seriously concerned person can do.

	"Dear Mr. Dahr, I am wondering why? Americans and coalition forces were supported by pro-Iranian Militias, like the Badr Organization! The support and help of Iraqi Shiites at first helped to somewhat stabilize and maintain the occupation. Death squads trained by the coalition forces are working day and night under cover of the Ministry of Interior, attacking innocent people: both Sunnis and Shiites!!!! In spite of knowing very well who is doing what, we still see no improvement in the security situation. On the contrary, the situation is getting worse.

	Learning to Count: The Dead in Iraq	by Dahr Jamail and Jeff Pflueger	April 13, 2006
	I would say 30,000, more or less, have died as a result of the initial incursion and the ongoing violence against Iraqis. - George W. Bush, December 12, 2005, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania How many Iraqis have died as the result of the Anglo-American invasion and occupation of their country remains an unresolved question in the anti-war movement. It is a question the pro-war camp avoids. Yet what more important question is there? The above quote made by the "compassionate conservative" shows a disturbing trend in the corporate media and amongst the spokespersons of the current powers that be, to camouflage the true cost of the illegal occupation of Iraq - the cost in blood paid by Iraqis. It is a trend that ensures that the enormity of the atrocity goes unnoticed.

	Life under the Bombs in Iraq			by Dahr Jamail	February 3, 2005
	There is something thoroughly inspiring when people, under the threat of death, turn out to vote in a country that has become an armed camp. The urge of a long oppressed people to take back their lives, to act, is always moving and powerful. Certainly, the Iraq vote, as presented in the media here in the U.S., has also provided a boost to the Bush administration at home at a useful moment. When you read Dahr Jamail's account below and meet the people under the bombs, imagine what sort of an Iraq they might actually be voting for. Tom
