Fondly Remembering Saddam

As the horrors in the middle east mount, and the USA is unable to find puppets that work, we recall a time of peace in the middle east, when Christians we safe and secure, as well as Muslims.  They lived together well.

If an when the locals did not care for the puppet ruling over them, they simply overthrew the dictator.  Recall how the Shah of Iran was dismissed by his people.  If there was ever a need for Iraqis to be rid of Saddam, it was for them to do it.

We were told by the very top leaders that Saddam had WMD and his first shot would make a mushroom cloud over America.  Lies.  We told Kaddafi if he got rid of his chemical weapons he's be safe and we'd trade.  Lies.  We were told Assad of Syria gassed his own people.  Lies.  Now that our creatures are executing Americans we want to make alliance with Iran and Syria.  We are told ISIS will be attacking USA soon, which seems only natural, but would not be happening if not for all of the official lies which have been behind our actions.

Now the USA has destabilized the region, and we are re-invading, Vietnam-style, why don't we recall some other Iraqis who were competent leaders.

Rotting in a prison awaiting a USA-demanded execution, which no one in Iraq is willing to carry out, is Tariq Aziz.  Recall him?  He made the joke that Bush did not want Regime Change but Region Change.  Kinda funny actually.  But "off with his head" came the command.

No one will murder him, but he is miserably treated.
On 17 November 2010, it was reported that Iraqi President Jalal Talabani had declared that he would not sign Aziz's execution order. However, there is still a possibility that the execution will be carried out anyway.[6]According to press reports on 29 November 2010, Tariq Aziz will probably not be executed. He was accused of only minimal involvement in connection with atrocities committed against Kurdish people during the Iraq-Iran War and received a 10-year prison sentence from an Iraqi court in addition to previous convictions.[42]On 5 December 2011, Saad Yousif al-Muttalibi, an adviser to the Prime Minister, indicated that the execution of Aziz would "definitely take place" after the withdrawal of American forces.[43]
How about not?  How about putting Aziz in power? Or at least free him so he can begin to work for his country.  He once had everyone pretty much working together.  But he probably does not want the job.

And any event, now that B'Iraq Obama has announced we are back in Iraq for the long term,  Aziz will just continue to rot we as do our quagmire thing.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.

I'm skeptical of the news that we are being fed about what is going on in the world, who are our enemies and the real threats to us. I can't trust the media anymore - what is real or even accurate and what isn't?

I think in George Orwells book 1984 the big brother government manufactured an outside, fake enemy and attacked their own people to keep the people distracted from the real problems and in line.

The US also lied to the Russians in the early 90's: The US agreed not to extend NATO membership into eastern europe if the former USSR disbanded and gave their former republics independence. Of course the US is not following the agreement.

I believe the same NATO encroachment is happening today in Ukraine. The US put in place and is supporting a bad regime that is anti-Russia in Ukraine. The US is doing a great job at antagonizing Russia and other countries. I just hope things don't get worse.
