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

 

New U.S. strategy: Have Iraqis kill each other instead of the Marines
(Al Jazeera, 10-25-2005)
The question here is what can the U.S. do to prevent the situation from turning into a debacle for itself, to prevent another Vietnam? . . . Steadily losing control in the country and failing to restore order or defeat the Iraqi resistance, the U.S. armed forces started to change their tactics. But this change is absolutely at the expense of the Iraqi people. . . . The U.S. Army has become more concerned with its safety, and thus it stopped leaving fortified bases, to avoid car bombs, kidnappings and assassinations. . . . But it tries on the other hand to feed the violence by manipulating the country's ethnic and religious groups to eventually realize its goal of withdrawing from Iraq. . . . Bush's admin is now sowing the seeds of strife and civil war, entice hatred and fuel the tension between Iraq's ethnic groups so as to have them do the fighting and kill themselves instead of the U.S. Marines . . . By turning Iraqi ethnic groups against each other, the U.S. will be able to withdraw - not from Iraq - but to safe havens within Iraq to watch the country dissolving and falling into a civil war that will leave no faction capable or equipped to fight the occupation forces. [COMMENT by Lorenzo: Of course, this leaves Iraq's oil fields for the Bush Crime Family to plunder with the U.S. Army to protect them.] . . . An old wisdom says that if you're in a deep hole, first thing you need do to get out of this hole is to stop digging- The U.S. needs to stop digging in Iraq before it reaches a stage where it can’t get out of this hole. But to stop digging America needs to admit it's been pursuing the wrong agenda and took a wrong decision in the first place. . . . The U.S. must decide to get out of Iraq before it’s too late. It failed to prepare for post war Iraq, and now to save its soldiers and reputation worldwide, it's trying to have the Iraqi people do the killing instead of the Army. . . . When the U.S. first invaded Iraq it claimed it came to liberate the Iraqis from the oppression of their dictator Saddam Hussein. But this is hypocrisy. Liberation and occupation do not co-exist.
