Iraq Invasion: Anniversary of The Biggest Terrorist Attack in Modern History?
by Felicity Arbuthnot / March 28th, 2016
Since terrorisms tragedy is again in the news, it is timely to revisit perhaps one of the biggest acts of terrorism in modern history the illegal invasion and destruction, ongoing, of Iraq.
Should terrorists obtain these weapons now being manufactured and traded around the world the carnage they could inflict to our economies, to our security, to world peace would be beyond our most vivid imagination, Blair continued. Indeed. The US-UK spawned ISIS who obtained arms from the US disbanded Iraqi army, arms from the US provided and trained new Iraqi army as they fled multiple conflicts in multiple areas, leaving all behind and indeed have obtained these weapons which have been dropped from the air to them on multiple occasions by the US.
The thousands of children were indeed dying every year from embargo related causes according to the UN. The government set up a ration distribution system to try and counter the food crisis (Iraq had imported 70% of near everything.) The UN called the efficiency of the system exemplary, but the embargo prevented food and essential imports. Even soap, toothpaste, shampoo and sanitary requirements had become luxury items. Prior to the embargo, the country had free health service, food was inexpensive and plentiful and water borne diseases mostly eradicated. Between the embargo and the bombing all was destroyed.
Anyone who listens to the advise of the author who did so much to spawn the horror, genocide, destruction, insanity, barbarism and should be facing a War Crimes Tribunal for his part in bringing the all about, is arguably certifiably insane.

(1,325 posts)We've been bombing and burning and pulverizing Iraqi people since 1991. 25 years of death and destruction; for what?
What did the people of Iraq ever do to the people of the United States? Why aren't Bush and Blair in the Hague?
