Hans Blix was an Arab-loving traitor son of a bitch scumbag... he should be imprisonsed on Guantanemo or shot... God Bless Israel, USA and all those who stand for liberty , justice and freedom... Happy Pesach gang!
I never had any trouble acknowledging that Blix wanted months more. It doesn't mean that he would have been successful, or htat it would have been the proper policy.
You sound like a member of the KKK, candletrader. You and your values of freedom are distorted by your apparent racist views. Dunno what the moderators are doing but your posts have no significant value, they are neither artistic or informative.
US 'to keep bases in Iraq' David Teather in New York and Ian Traynor Monday April 21, 2003 The US is planning a long-term military presence in Iraq, in a move which will dramatically extend American power in the region and spread dismay and fear among its opponents across the Arab world. According to reports, the Pentagon intends to retain four military bases in Iraq after the invasion force withdraws. It is already using the bases to support continuing operations against pockets of resistance. They are at the international airport near Baghdad, at Talil; close to the city of Nassiriya in the south; at an isolated airstrip called H-1 in the western desert; and at the Bashur airfield in the Kurdish north. A senior administration official told the New York Times: "There will be some kind of a long term defence relationship with Iraq, similar to Afghanistan. The scope of that has yet to be defined - whether it will be full-up operational bases, smaller forward operating bases or just plain access." The plans would be eyed nervously by neighbouring Syria and by Iran, a member of President George Bush's "axis of evil", now facing American-backed governments along two sides of its border. "This is a nightmare unfolding for both Syria and Iran," Toby Dodge, an Iraq expert at the University of Warwick, said. A sign that Syria may be trying to halt the deterioration in its links with the US came at the weekend when Saddam's son-in-law and member of his inner circle, Jamal Mustafa Sultan Abdullah al-Tikriti, returned from Damascus to surrender to the Iraqi National Congress in Baghdad. The Bush administration has warned Syria not to harbour members of Saddam's regime. It claims Syria also sponsors terrorism. A permanent US military foothold in Iraq would profoundly change the political make-up of the Middle East. Part of its attraction is that it would offer the US an alternative to Saudi Arabia, which was reluctant to cooperate on Iraq and is viewed by American officials as a breeding ground for terrorism after the revelation that 15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11 were from the kingdom. The plans could leave the White House open to the charges of empire-building that it has been so desperate to avoid. As in Afghanistan, it is likely to keep the number of deployed troops to a minimum with the guarantee of access to the bases should they be needed. But it is a difficult balance to achieve. If the US is seen to be deepening its presence in the region it could spur on Islamist extremists. "This will be an alarming step to most of the Middle East," said Abdul Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi. "It seems they want to control the whole region." The Pentagon declined to comment yesterday but the bases are expected to be accompanied by a reduction in the US military presence in Saudi Arabia. Marcus Corbin, of the Centre for Defence Information in Washington, said he expected the Pentagon to try to keep its options open in Saudi Arabia, but to have a much smaller and less visible presence there. The Pentagon has also been reducing its presence in Turkey. With Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran as neighbours, Iraq is strategically in a prime location. "Geographically, Iraq is ideal for the Americans," Mr Dodge said. The bases plan comes in addition to the vast expansion of the US military which has taken place elsewhere across the Middle East and central Asia in the past two years, most of it in Muslim states Washington's success in persuading countries from Romania to Kyrgyzstan to host its military bases is a reflection of the new era ushered in by September 11. "The military always likes to have bases and the ability to move to bases at short notice. What's new is the opportunities," said Mr Corbin. The establishment of US military bases would increase the pressure on Syria to fall into line with the Americans.
Haha! You musta supported Saddam and now ya feelin' bad! And no, I aint a member of KKK, cos I think Bush is a pussy who aint doin' enough to liberate other countries from Terror... but KFC rocks!!
I was very satisfied to hear that Iraq's new leader, Jay Garner, is now in Baghdad. It is also encouraging to know that we are establishing a permanent military presence in the military bases that formerly belonged to the Evil Doer Saddam... I am confident that Jay's pro-Pentagon, pro-Israeli history will not prevent him from dispensing his duties of care and leadership to the tribes of Iraq... We have brought liberty and freedom to the oppressed tribesmen of Iraq... we will now help them to become rich... working together with the tribes of Iraq, we will bring civility, freedom and oil wealth to them... we are positive the brave new leader of Iraq, Jay Garner, will pump oil for the benefit of his oppressed Iraqi citizens, who no longer have to fear the wrath of the Dictator Saddam... Jay must be prepared to pump like crazy, cos those goddam Evil Saudis and their OPEC allies have tried to keep oil prices under their strict control using that Evil Anti-Capitalist system called OPEC... given that we liberated Iraq, we are positive that Jay will look kindly upon us in the offering out of reconstruction contracts, to be totally funded by Iraq's $100bn yearly oil revenues... and if anyone wishes to stand against us in continuing to liberate the Iraqi tribespeople, we will smoke em out and give em justice... we are happy to call Jay Garner an ally of the USA, and look forward to working with him, in his endeavor to bring prosperity and happiness to the Iraqi tribesmen... I am genuinely proud to call 'Free Iraq' and its brave heroic leader, Jay, our allies in the War against Terrorism... we are positive that Jay will make the right decisions in caring for his tribes... God Bless the USA and Israel... both of whom proudly welcome Liberated Iraq into the community of civilized nations... Now that Iraq is free, we must set our sites on liberating Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran...
On the surface it appears (and as stated on cable TV) as if the people who are in custody aren't exactly assisting the US with their search for WMD. I would have thought that the threat of the removal of US protection to the families of these monsters would have been sufficient to make them a bit more co-operative. I would imagine that even just turning one of them over to the Iraqi public in a public square may be sufficient to soften up the closed lips of the others. I wonder who the pussyfoots are who are doing the questioning ? Have they forgotten that some of their young men have made the ultimate sacrifice ? freealways
