Inside Iraq - Motives for war - 04 April 08 - Part 1

[bassammaelborno]

Regarding Dr. Finkelstein;

He is without question a genuine 'Rebel', defined as one who selflessly challenges Injustice, regardless.

The hallmark of any rebel is indeed 'Humanity'.

His own profound Humanity was undoubtedly nurtured early in life by his mother and what she came away with following her persecution under the Nazis.

Whether he is of Jewish faith or not, appears to be far less relevant to him, than are his guiding Moral Values and Ethical Principles.

WMD was always a sham. Who cares if the Bush administration "believed" that WMD's existed. Liars always attempt to convince themselves of their own lies. It's a human trait and liars have that trait. The fact is that they are liars, that they make up their own convenient 'truths', but with flimsy evidence....heresay etc.

@ 3:13 - yaaaay John Mearsheimer!! (and Stephen Walt, of course) ^_^

America was a mule, whipped to war by Israel with the carrot of oil dangled in front.

[JohnnyRock2000]

Israel caused the war.

Israel wants to dominate all Middle East Arab countries and Iraq was supposed to be the 1st and the rest to follow,...Iran...Syria...Leban­on and any more that didn't cave.

911 was in retaliation to American support of Israel. Impossible, but true that Israel used its own guilty truth to push America to war against its enemies. Incredible manipulation.

[xdeliriumx1]

@JohnnyRock2000 Israel is nothing without vital US support and aid period.

Last week the military corps that was in charge of rebilding projects in Baghdad went home... is Iraq rebuilt ?

[jennohax]

Stupid Norman Finkelstein :

-RICHARD PERLE

-DOUGLAS FEITH

-ELLIOT ABRAMS

[Yankhadenough]

Israel is the CAUSE of Iraq War

[jennohax]

So obvious

[rahmans420]

AIPAC is controling lots of things in the usa thats the sad reality, politicean come and go but israel interest must surve even thats against humanity in short.??

[iloveyourcurlyhair]

One of the important points Finkelstein makes is that that fact that the Bush administration expected the war to be over in a short period of time and that "victory", whatever it means, would easily be achieved bespeaks to the administration's full awareness and realization that Saddam's regime did not poses a real menace in the time preceding the invasion of Iraq.

[oldjoe5]

Why can't we get real news programs like Al Jazeera in the USA?

[ARTAUDIOJOTA]

Because Al jaz actually does reporting

[oldjoe5]

We can't get Al J in USA cuz AL J does reporting?

What the hell does that mean?

[IslamNederland]

@oldjoe5 cause americans are stupid and dont got the brains for real news

[az101010]

remember how we knew all the militants would go to iraq to fight america? now most of them have been terminated.. soon they will all be gone..

soon liberals and democrats will recover from their amnesia and remember how they praised bush for having the guts to go after saddam and knowing it meant the "mother of all battles" with all the militants..

don't be surprised if bush and rice become all-time heros..

CNN footage of liberals lined up to kiss george and condi's feet- you think?

[oldjoe5]

Liberal amnesia? Where those WMDs at?

[az101010]

it's a wore out phrase- but it still fits so well- stuck on stupid..

saddam agreed to account for the WMDs we knew he had and then said he didn't know what happened to them.. and it was anybody's guess what he was building.. he was found to be in breach of his agreement..

the fruitcakes will never stop acting like children because that's all they know how to do..

[oldjoe5]

Alleged breech of an agreement is the reason for a trillion dollar, five years plus (so far) war. Is not invading a country based on the false premise of WMDs more of a crime?

[Reptile0000]

It doesnt matter what int law says

It doesnt matter whether there were any WMD

It doesnt matter what human rights or humans are

It doesnt matter what middle east says:

What matters is what WE want, and this tone is not indifferent from Hitlers in anyway. U r a wanker dude.

[oldjoe5]

Anyone who saw Gulf War I in 1991 knew Iraq was no threat to the USA in 2003.

[fuascailt32]

must commend aljazeera for this and other 'inside iraq' programmes.

maybe get chomsky on.

also did zionists always want to break iraq in 3...and is this an old policy going back decades....

?????????

[sugarpuddin88]

conduit99 - We both know it!

[delaguer]

For the love of money, is the root of all evil...

[sugarpuddin88]

The motives for Iraq are clear:

NO-bid contracts to Cheney's companies

To put a lid on Iraq's Oil production, (which in turn greatly diminished supply; raised the price of oil from $20 barrel to $110 to the glee of Bush's Saudi friends -- And thereby continued the US Dollar - Petro cycle)

[oldjoe5]

Oil a factor, Israel the #1 factor

[sugarpuddin88]

I agree

Eisenhower & JFK also warned of the Military Industrial Complex

Add on top that the privately owned FED Reserve Bank prints America's money out of thin air; and charges them interests on top!

Now NORTHCOM trains army in USA to put down civil unrest

The Government knows what's coming when the Sheeple wake up to the fact America is a Socialist Country for Corporations & run by Banks

That every single war was BS!

[famguy337]

america is not a socialist country its the greatest country in the world and u better believe it

[sugarpuddin88]

fam

Greatest at what?

[famguy337]

it is the greatest country in the world plain and simple because u have freedom to do what youwant u have to strive and work hard to achieve the "american dream" and hey isnt it why everyone is trying to get in to this country idk where u live but i dont think people are risking there lives to get into your country

[sugarpuddin88]

Fam

Americans have lost all but no 3 of their Bill of Rights

America is second only to Mexico in poverty among industrialized nations

You got to be kidding me?!!

Do you honestly think America is all that?!

Gimme a Break!

[sumlatinkid]

yes...that is the mask that many people see because it is TRUE to a "certain" extent...but underneath that mask is another set of ideas...one that has to do with imperialism, deceit, covert operations, etc. and this is being kept hidden from the public. our government is corrupt, its time for you to wake up and see it man, many people are awakening.

our government does not represent us (the people) anymore...
