Dozens killed as terror blasts hit Iraqi cities (VIDEO)
March 20, 2012 07:12
At least 51 people have been killed in a string of explosions targeting police in more than 10 Iraqi cities, government and hospital sources told Reuters news agency.
&n bsp; Myth#3: The current violence in Iraq is being carried out by groups somehow connected to the armed criminals in Syria which are trying to overthrow that government (a favourtite red-herring that the US throws out there from time to time). Again, the opposite is true. The armed resistance in Iraq is primarily Baathist, i.e. the legitimate government of Iraq (the Syrian government is also Baathist). They are fighting against a puppet governme nt in Iraq which is a creation of, and completely subservient to, the US/Israel axis, along with the feudal Gulf States. They are fighting against over-whelming odds on the front-line of the struggle against this axis. They are true heroes in every sense of the word and deserve the support of freedom-loving people everywhere.
&n bsp; There is so much deliberate obfuscation and myth creation surrounding Ira q by the media and its US/NATO/Israel axis masters that, unfortunately, people lose sight of the facts, if they ever knew them in the first place. Myth #1: Saddam Hussein was somehow allied to, or friendly with this axis before the invasion. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, if you look at what Saddam Hussein was trying to do, i.e. unite the Arab world and expunge the legacy of colonialism from Arab lands (with Kuwait being the first to fall in 1990), thereby giving the Arab people an equal seat at the table with all other great powers (first and foremost through control of its own oil resources), nothing could have been more detrimental to the interests of the axis. Myth#2: The US/Israel axis helped Iraq in their war against Iran. Again here, the opposite is true. Israel always saw Iraq as their primary enemy when Saddam Hussein was in power. Israel bombed and destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor at the start of the Iran-Iraq war (Iran even offered Israel the use of an air base to do so, if they needed it). Later in the war, the US and Israel covertly supplied weapons to Iran (remember the Iran-Contra scandal). Meanwhile, Saddam Hussein`s military was overwhelmingly Soviet supplied, with between 4,000 and 5,000 T-55, T-62, T-64, and T-72 tanks. The superiority of Soviet supplied artillery and Soviet trained officers were what enabled Iraq to defeat the numerically superior Iranians in this war. Continued...
I wouldn't why don't you look into why so many people fled Iraq. I live in a city with about 2 million Iraq refugees that escaped Iraq while under Sadhams presence. So why don't you take your foot out of your mouth while you still have some air to breath.
The director of the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), David Petraeus, has expressed concerns about the possible trial of Iraqi Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of involvement in terrorist activities.
Petraeus voiced his concerns in a Tuesday meeting with Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Hashemi is accused of ordering attacks and deadly bombings against innocent Iraqi civilians as well as government and security officials over the past years, including a November 2011 car bombing in the capital Baghdad that apparently targeted Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
On December 19, 2011, an investigative committee within the Iraqi Interior Ministry issued an arrest warrant for Hashemi&nbs p;after three of his bodyguards made confessions of taking orders from him to carry out the terrorist attacks. Hashem i later fled to the Kurdistan region. Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani has illegally provided refuge for Hashemi&nbs p;and refused to hand him over to the Iraqi government.
Reports say Petraeus is worried that in case Barzani hands over Hashemi&nb sp;to the authorities in Baghdad, the behind-the-scene facts about the bombings and terrorist attacks in Iraq will be laid bare.
During their meeting, Petraeus and Erdogan also discussed the upcoming second meeting of the so-called "Friends of Syria" in Istanbul and arming the Syrian rebels.
Actually you are wrong wrote in #1
First Alot did ask for help.""
If you put down your propaganda and wishful thinking, and go talk to actual Iraqis you'd probably tick them off with your claim they wanted "help". Most actually wanted true help from imperialists who maintained sanctions, bombing campaigns, and occupation.
As long as CIA is operating in Iraq Hundreds Civilian will die. Please Read This Articlehttp://presst v.com/detail/231621. html

This is why we have to stop being nice and trying to help these people have a decent society after they wage war on us. All they do is kill each other. It is thier barbaric culture.
You can teach dogs table manners, and you can't teach Middle Easterners civility.
The first human civilizations were by Middle Easterners in Mesopotamia along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and in Egypt along the Nile. This has nothing to do with being civilized, and your statement is ignorant. It also ignores that before the wars and sanctions, Iraq was the envy of the Middle East where it was fast becoming a modernizing regional power. Iraq was a beautiful country, but certain individuals couldn't have that and it supposedly had to be sent back to the "stone age" (using George Bush Sr.'s words).
If you review your facts, Iraq has never actually threatened the United States or any other western European state. The Iraqis never asked anyone for any "help" which is your euphemism for sanctions, bombings, and invasion. Iraq was a naiive state that actually trusted the United States and other western powers.

One view is never expressed in the US media, especially not on FOX News. The horrible of all horrible views that perhaps life was better for the Iraqi people before the US stormed into Iraq screaming "shock and awe, baby, shock and awe".
That’s how it looks “liberated” and western type “democratised” ME - fully opened Pandora´s Box, which they try to sell to the world as "peace and stability." On the hands of these western bloody murderers lies the blood of over million Iraqi’s.
As long as they keep away from the Oil wells, they can bomb each other to smithereens. This is no joke, but a sad reality of the world we live in that human life has no value. Now that Anarchy reigns in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia.....where to next for the peace loving West? How can they solve this? In Syria, the plan is to change the regime by supplying arms to the opposition and training them to fight the authorities. What makes this extremely difficult to solve in a country like Iraq or Syria is that these fanatics blend into the society, unlike in the US or Britain where they stick out like a sore thumb.
The continuing massacres and killings in Iraq are the legacy of the savage illegal 2003 invasion. All the lies about the Iraqi WMDs. GW Bullsh and Tony Bliar's governments, as well as the other criminal enterprises responsible for the mess in Iraq and the endless killing of innocent people, have a lot to answer for. As usual, wherever the West goes, in order to "export democracy" or to intervene in "humanitarian interventions" the result is always war, death and destruction.
