Welcome to the Back of the Bus!
As a Ukrainian American who has just witnessed the affirmation of a Pulitzer
for the cover up of their genocide, I know and can anticipate the horrific
insults that have been heaped upon the injury and genocide of the Kurds.
I apologize for the US not having invaded Iraq sooner.
As Orwell said, some animals are more equal than others and it is trully
mystifing that the Left is able to wield so much power and to make black equal
white.
What did you think of the backhanded Chomsky stuff from two years ago? My
perception is that he was trying to justify the Kurds continued terror under
Iraq by making a ridiculous straw dog scenario of Turkey being entrusted to
conduct our invasion and being allowed to committ genocide an yet another
nation.
He's antiwar and he is considered creative, so I guess this absurd posit was
perceived as from on high and onther reason to avoid war with Iraq so that the
"Kurds do not suffer" (LOL)
Chomsky said:
"So we can be pretty confident that one way or another the US is trying to
ensure that Iraq will re-enter to the international system under US control.
Now, how do you achieve this? Well, one plan, and this plan has been discussed
in Turkey as you know, is for the US to use Turkey as a mercenary military
force to conquer Northern Iraq with ground troops while the US bombs from
20,000 feet, The compensation for Turkey could be that it will get control of
the oil resources of Musul and Kerkuk, which it has always regarded as part of
Turkey. And for the US, that will block its enemies -- Russia, France and
others -- from having privileged access to the oil of that region. Meanwhile
the US will take over the South in some fashion.
What happens to the Kurds?
I hate to think about it. It will probably be a terrible slaughter of one kind
or another. They will be right in the middle of this. For Turkey, apart from
the question of right and wrong, it would be a very dangerous move. And it’s
a very dangerous move for the US as well, if only because it could blow up the
whole region. It could lead to a revolution in Saudi Arabia. Nobody knows.
Elements of the Bush administration are pursuing these and similar plans, and
you can see the logic. Whether they will be allowed to implement such plans is
another story. I’m rather sceptical. I think the arguments against it are
probably too strong. But they don’t know themselves, and surely no one else
can.
-----------------------
Yeah, it turned into a real chain reaction of chaos.
All I know is that as soon as we invaded, Libya went on its knees and North
Korea shut up.
