This news has been out for a few days, but nobody here noticed that Iraq is accusing Kuwait of stealing oil and territory
isn't this where we got ON this fucking Merry-go-round ???
take a step through the looking glass and tell me what you think
Yesterday
7 Marines died, today we learn that
14 MORE Marines died, and we have now lost
1800 soldiers
why did these soldiers die, so Iraq could form an alliance with Iran ??? Isn't Iran a member of the axis of evil ??? And now Iraq wants to pick a fight with Kuwait ??? THIS IS PROGRESS ???
Iraqis Accuse Kuwait of Stealing Oil
After 1800 soldiers are dead, we learn that our New Iraqi buddies are accusing Kuwait of stealing Iraqi oil and territory:
Iraqi legislators accused Kuwait of stealing their oil as well as chipping away at their national territory on the border - allegations similar to those used by Saddam Hussein to justify his invasion of Kuwait that began 15 years ago Tuesday.
It seems the Mr. Wolfowitz was WAAAAY wrong when he said that Iraq didn't have any ethnic strife resembling what we encountered in Vietnam. Forget the Kurds, and look at this:
"There has been a border problem with Kuwait since the Iraqi state was established,"
does anybody think that our government knew about this (I mean, considering that we had to EVICT Saddam from Kuwait in 1991 and all) ???
and, in keeping with the Bushista policy of total delusion, a newly "elected" Iraqi legislator Jawad al-Maliki had this to say:
"We believe that we have overcome the past and that we opened a new page of positive relations. These relations have to be respected by Kuwait,"
well if that's the case, what do you need US troops for ???
since we seem to have come right back to where we started, shouldn't we get OFF THIS FUCKING MERRY-GO-ROUND ???
and I gotta give props to Truthout for being one of the best news sources on the internets
