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..........

and that in her experience the majority of the people feel they are and will be better off now that Saddam has been removed. She said regardless of the why behind our presence there, the end result, which was the removal of Saddam, has been positive and has benefitted Iraq more than it has hurt it.

I'm sorry, but what a joke. I'm sure life is just fine for the daughter of the "interim Iraqi pm." 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. 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?

I mean was she fucking joking or what? Yeah sure Iraq might be better off in the LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG run, but not anytime fucking soon!

the end result, which was the removal of Saddam, has been positive and has benefitted Iraq more than it has hurt it.

sorry, gonna emphasize this one again. makes me wonder if this bitch has ever really even been to Iraq.

If the Iraqi's wanted to get rid of Saddam bad enough they should have revolted and deposed him. It was not our responsibility to do so. They chose to sit on their dead asses and be ruled by a dictator, not us. As it has turned out, we can now see why Iraq was ruled by a dictator. The Iraqis are uncivilized savages who are incapable of ruling themselves.

Neo-cons like to repeat the mantra, "The world is a better place without Saddam." I say, "No it's not." I invite anyone to provide imperical evidence - as opposed to hyperbole - that the world is a better place without Saddam. I defy anyone to show imperical evidence that Saddam was a direct threat to the USA."

Here's the rest asshat.

Mr Putin said he had no information the Iraqi ex-leader was behind any attacks.

It came a day after US President George W Bush insisted there had been links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.

He disputed the preliminary findings of a US commission investigating the 9/11 attacks on Washington and New York that found no "credible evidence" of a relationship between the two.
