Postwar Iraq paying heavy environmental price

WOW!
AFP: New 'Deep Throat' needed for Iraq, says Nixon rival
"This man
claims to be Christian, following the will of God, and then he misleads the
whole nation on a totally fraudulent enterprise in Iraq that we should have
never been attached to."

    The second one, about the environmental damage, is just terrible. We can never atone for the evil we've commited against the Iraqi people.

    Weapons equipment missing in Iraq

    In unrelated news, Halliburton has opened a chain of used weapon outlets across the globe. Funny how all the equipment sold by Halliburton has the serial numbers filed off.

  •  Plus for Bush? DU logic perplexing (none / 0)

    Weapons looted from UN sites do not reflect negatively on the UN.  Why?  These were weapons impounded or sealed by the UN prior to the war.  The UN was forced to abandon these sites prior to the invasion and the US did not secure them even though they were known caches of precisely the kinds of weapons we were supposed to be unvading Iraq to find in the first place.  Instead, the US invasion allowed weapons which the UN had secured to fall into who knows whose hands.  The initial pieces of this story first came to light about a week before the election last year in the NYT.  Kerry stating that Cheney's daughter is gay was clearly the more important story at the time.
