The official story of the 2003 US invasion ousting long-time dictator Saddam Hussein and replacing him with a US-style democracy with a US-approved constitution, known as the “liberation of Iraq,” is taking a serious hit as public protests in the streets of Iraq are met, as they have been in the more straightforward dictatorships in the region, with violent crackdowns.
Protesters turn up dead, journalists are arrested and beaten by security forces. Neighborhoods are closed off and the regime disappears protest leadership on a regular basis. In other words, the reaction of the Maliki government is straight out of Saddam Hussein’s playbook.
And while the Obama Administration has been careful not to publicize it, reports say that they are increasingly annoyed by the embarrassingly violent behavior of their installed regime in Iraq, which is embarrassing the US and doing enormous damage to these claims of the nation being free.
It is also sparking complaints from journalists and human rights groups that individual freedoms, particularly freedom of speech, are taking major steps backwards, and while the Maliki government insists the situation is well in hand, the death toll of the crackdowns is making these claims extremely difficult.
1- We have said it and we say it again.., Regime change policies of US and EU have changed the political regime of Saddam but not his methods in brutality and dictatorial manners. That exactly what US and English wanted for Iraq to be destroyed and they love to see the same thing happening in Libya and other places in Middle East. Look people: if there ever was a democracy concerning democrats in US they would have never become a militarism regime nor they would be in wars for last 60 years.., get that into your jar head.., if the principals in democracy was ever respected by democrats as Rockefeller/s and Kerry’s and Lieberman and others there wouldn’t be any hunger in US nor for that matter in England.., nor there would be any homeless people in US or England.., get that into your jar head..,
2- in Los Angeles alone there are over 70 thousand accounted homeless people living in streets.., get that into you jar head, if US or EU wanted a democratic Iraq or Afghanistan they wouldn’t invade these countries to occupy them, as they still do in Japan, Germany, Italy, South Korea and other.., they would help existing democracy to exist and flourish.., in another word they wouldn’t give Afghanistan to Taliban to establish their Islamic state and kill Shah Masoud, or orchestrate a cop de Etta against democratic elected Dr. Muhammad Mousadegh of Iran and others in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
And they also wouldn't allow the Christian Taliban to run the US.
They are out there.., look in south and in Mid US states.., better yet.., what do you think George W. Bush belief was.., have you heard about Dry City, or Counties, or talk about Dry countries.., I guess not.., these cities run by Christian Taliban’s in many of these
Southern States churches demanding no alcohols to be sold or produced in US.., don’t believe me.., Travel to Texas or a city called Eden in North Carolina, then from there travel to Virginia.., you will pass few of these Christians Taliban cities.., better yet start from California and travel to Virginia.., or vice versa then you understand what I am talking about.., and hey.., no highways.., off-road is the only option here.., then you will see how poor people are and living with five -10 dollars a day.., they even give some of their money to these churches every Saturday – Sunday.., thinking that god needs money and believe in what their churches telling them.., that is only and the ultimate truth..,
Nothing will change every leader in Irak will have to dance as the americans want. They don,t want democracy but support dictators as they serve thir cause.
So, the "installed" elected puppet of Bushco hasn't completed Democracy 101 at the local CC. Surely the Archons in Washington aren't completely surprised. Maliki is a thug, just as he was before the Amis came to town to being democracy. The only difference now is that Maliki has the political cover of the USG. He can do pretty much anything he wants (as is being seen) and the USG don't dare do anything to reign him in. Wouldn't look good to have to school Maliki in front of the world – after all, we REALLY don't control the puppets we put in office. The same issues exist in Afghanistan – doesn't Karzai understand that we own him? Jeez…ingrates.
School Maliki on what? Isn't he doing exactly as his masters have taught him? They should be very proud of him as a matter of fact. Like master like puppet.
Aaaaaah, gotta love that US-spread Democracy ™ at the barrel of a gun. The US-propped Iraqi kleptocrats and the US-trained Iraqi security forces are exactly like their masters. Brutal, inhumane, sanguine. Let the bloodshed continue. And get ready for it will soon be coming to a theater near you.
