Iraqi Civilian Deaths ... caused by Bush's unprovoked war

 

Bremer's 'Israel Flag' now as gone as he is
"That was the flag of Israel," hissed one
man on Baghdad's Saddoun Street.
"Another occupier."

Mid-East Realities - MER - www.MiddleEast.Org - 1 July 2004: One really has to wonder just how competent these American neocons really are beyond all the imagery, flag-waving, and sloganeering. Just what were Paul Bremer and his neocon handlers back at the Pentagon and the White House thinking when they tried to plant that new blue-striped flag in Iraq where it was quite literally thrown up and out pretty quickly. Oh yes, the formerly enthroned "Iraqi Governing Council" had its fingers all over the new flag as well...in the beginning that is. Remember them? Well...that's pretty much the same bunch of guys who more recently reconstituted themselves, with all that high-price p.r. help the Americans have given them, to become what is now known as the "Interim Iraqi Government". But if these guys have been making policies and decisions about the future of Iraq and the Middle East in the same way they did about a new Iraqi flag....well then their chaos, incompetence, corruption, and miserable failures all need be underscored even more that we had previously realized. And that is saying a lot!
