The Fakery of General Petraeus: What Iraqis Think About the Surge

[Psycho4Bud]

I've read countless blogs from Iraqi's about how at least with Saddam they had things like running water, electricity, and not complete total fucking chaos.

Sure, the Sunni's had running water, electricity, etc....but what about the other 80% of the population?

Yes, Saddam was a prick and yes, people would see their neighbors occasionally snatched up for having certain religion books, but compared to the shit that's going on now? 5 year old being taken from their homes doused in gas and burned? Bombs going off daily killing hundreds by the day. NO ORDER whatsoever? At least with Saddam there was some semblance of order and I can tell you now, life for the next 20 years for the average Iraqi is going to be hell of the worst kind.

And with Saddam they had peoples hands cut off for running the wrong currency, the boys taking school girls and raping them, the gassing of the Kurds, the genocide of the Shiites not to mention the water cut off for their agricultural region. If we're going to talk of Saddams accomplishments lets cover them all. The Kurds and Shi-ites at least have a chance now.....80% of the country. Seems that the Sunni's in the Anbar province are also on board now. One step at a time..........

Have a good one!:s4:

The Fakery of General Petraeus: What Iraqis Think About the Surge By PATRICK COCKBURN At first sight the Petraeus report looks as if it is going to be one of those spurious milestones in the war in Iraq, (like the Iraq Study Groupâ??s report last December), heavily publicized at the time, but not affecting the political and military stalemate in the country. Unfortunately, the propaganda effort by the White House now underway may have a more malign impact than most propaganda exercises. It claims that victory is possible where failure has already Rating: 5
