Wall St. Journal: bloodthirsty, ghoulish, sons-a-bitches...

WHAT do the paid professional lairs and distortionists at the WALL St. JOURNAL have to say about the hell that has been unleashed in Iraq?

"...the worst mistakes have been more political than military."


Retch. These SOBs, so desirous of taking America back to the segregation-era 1950s, if not the lynch-mob 1920s, if not the ante-bellum days of chattel slavery, have got it HALF right: "Giving L. Paul Bremer too free a hand to govern like viceroy in 2003 and 2004 when a more rapid turnover of political power to Iraqis... MIGHT have made a big difference."


But that's sort of like saying "IF George W. Bush had paid attention to the threat of Al Qiada hijacking an airliner to crash into the Genoa G-8 summit meeting in July of 2001, he might have taken 1/100th of the precautions that Italian authorities did, and issued a General Traveller's Alert to the American flying public to be wary of hijacker. Such an official ALERT, ALONE, would have made the hijacker's task much, much more difficult, and certainly, the entire US air travel system would have been on hyper alert THE MOMENT the first airliner was hijacked, and maybe the second, third, and fourth hijackings would have been derailed by alerted crews and passengers.

But the TRAVELLER's ADVISORY that Attorney General Ashcroft recieved from the FBI in the summer of 2002, a "terrorist threat advisory" WAS NEVER broadcast to the American public. At best, Mr. Bush and his administration were willing to treat the American public as pigeons, risking our lives to keep the airline industry from making even the first level of heightened security preparations.

NO, THIS story (about "Mistakes in Iraq") is another typical example of MURDEROUS Wall St. Journal PROPAGANDA. Sort of like all those families RUINED by Dick Cheney absolving Halliburton of thousands of asbestos cases. Sort of like the WSJ CHEERLEADING George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, WHO TOOK EXTENDED VACATIONS as the LOWEST RECORDED PRESSURE EVER in the Atlantic Basin (that would be Hurricane Katrina as it pummelled the Cancun) gave America's Gulf Coast ALMOST A WEEK to PREPARE for a CATAGORY 5 HURRICANE LANDING.


No, The mistakes of L. Paul Bremer are only a SYMPTOM, NOT a cause, of the the Iraq meltdown. The murderous WSJ understands that. They KNOW that NINE BILLION DOLLARS in Iraqi rebuilding funds went missing. THEY KNOW that there has since then been only a FARCICAL 'investigation' of the missing loot.

They KNOW that the "mistakes" were not merely political: that the MILITARY LEADERSHIP's ROLE in the ABU GHRAIB TORTURE SCANDAL(s) infuriated Iraqis of all sects, and fueled the burgeoning insurgency. And the cowardly, lying WSJ editors realize that the TORTURE scandals were NOT the case of "rogue" privates and low-grade NCOs, but were the result of ORDERS coming out of Donald Rumsfeld's office.

NO, the WALL St. JOURNAL editors are PAID PROFESSIONAL LIARS, who like Injun bounty hunters of the American wild-west are looking to PROFIT from death, misery, and force of arms.






WSJ's murderous propaganda: Herr Goebbels couldn't do better.

<< Our own view is that the worst mistakes in Iraq have been more political than military, especially in not establishing a provisional Iraqi government from the very start. Instead, the U.S. allowed itself to be portrayed as occupiers, a fact that the insurgency exploited. But the blame for that goes well beyond Mr. Rumsfeld--and would extend to then-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and to Mr. Bush himself.

Mr. Rumsfeld's largest mistake may have been giving L. Paul Bremer too free a hand to govern like a viceroy in 2003 and 2004 when a more rapid turnover of political power to Iraqis, and more rapid training of Iraqi forces, might have made a big difference. More than anything else, that unnecessary delay in Iraq's political and self-defense evolution has contributed to the current instability. >>
