I don't hate Yanks, far from it, with the exception of us, they're the greatest nation on Earth, and every time I've been there, I've found nothing but warmth, hospitality and women who'll put their pants in their handbags, as soon as you say "I say, Barman, Miller lite if you please, Gawwwwwwd , I just lurrrrrrve your accent"
My personal problem, is the administration currently running things in the 2nd greatest nation on Earth. I'm unhappy with their links to other activities, I'm unhappy with their histories, I'm, unhappy with the way they came to power, which all seems to be building up to the main event... Iraq for Oil/Agriculture/Revenge/Israel or whatever the reason is.
I'm unhappy, that the famous document that was supposed to have proved WMD, turned out to be nothing but suppositon, guesswork and smoke and mirrors. I'm unhappy that the US are supposed to have released proof positive to UNMOVIC about weapons sites, which have been inspected and nothing found.
Now, we can all be reasonably sure he must have something. If your neighbour has 200+ TacNukes , then you must be hiding the odd nasty Petri dish somewhere, for retaliatory purposes.
Iraq could supply weapons of WMD to terrorist organisations? No evidence so far, as stated in parliament, and from the legoland bods. However if I was going to finger someone for that activity, I would say certain ex-Soviet states strapped for cash, or PAKISTAN would be right at the top of my list.
It's time to stop pussyfooting around, and say what we mean. We want Saddam out, for whatever reason. As long as we continually attempt to hoodwink the public about WMD's and "Human rights violations" blah x 3 , the public will get on the net, and do their own investigations, and arrive at the conclusion that Bluppet and Bush are full of shit, and attempting to hide something, i.e the percieved real reason for this adventure. The problem is, GovMediaOps has lost the plot, and it shows.
So let's get blunt. We do not want to see the Iraqi people suffer anymore because of one man. However, we are not going to leave him in place, because then , he would have won, and that sends a clear message to the next Arab nation that wants to try it on. Send a clear message to the Iraqi people. "We don't want to hurt you, we want Saddam, and we want stability in the Middle East."
Start talking more, about what will happen in Iraq, after Saddam is gone. Start talking about free and fair elections under UN auspicies, start talking about Iraq once again resuming it's rightful place as a powerhouse in the middle east, with western investment and know-how. Sell the benefits to the Iraqi people Hells Bells,sell the benefits to OUR people. E-mail spam the place with your "Marshall plan" for the recovery of Iraq.Start offering financial inducements to Iraqi officers to defect, bringing their troops out with them. Start the collapse from within. Amassing Mundo hardware Militaire sends a message all right, it also sends a message to the Iraqi people that we want to fight them as well, hence the eagerness of the civpop volunteers to get their AK47's and RPG's.
Many Iraqis do not have access to satellite television, and are forced to watch state television, which is bloody boring I can tell you, however, there are a lot of clandestine SW radios, the BBC world service is the preferred station. Let's get the propoganda war ramped up big style and SELL THE BENEFITS.
Give Saddam the chance, to step gracefully from power. Sell him the plan of a comfortable retirement (As much as that fcuking rankles

) and the chance to tell the Iraqi people, that he is going into retirement, to give them a new beginning. Leave him an avenue, where he can retain some self respect, a bloody important thing for an Arab, get him out of it, and turn Iraq into a pro-western democracy. Which will have the additional benefit of scaring the shit out of the House of Saud, and the Iranians.
I am very much in favour of getting Saddam out. I am not in favour of Civpop taking huge casualties, to achieve this. Primairily because, I don't want any of us to be fighting a population of martyrs and local terrorists for the next 5 years.
But we all volunteered for this womans army, so in as far as that goes, all of us should be ready and willing to fight, just tell us the real reasons..
PTP
.....and does anyone know where the Iraqis hold their gold reserves? Purely out of academic interest you understand
