Misleading

24.12.2007 07:55

As usual Latuff managinges to narrowly miss being spot on and again manages to be totally spot off.

The use of the word 'resistence' evokes the French Maquis, German White Rose, the Basques, Catalan, the Czechs, Hungarians, the original Irish Uprising etc.

The reality on the ground in Iraq is anything but comparable. The US & UK war crimes of totally destroying civillian infrastructure left as predicted the breeding grounds for sectarian civil war, terrorism and general lawlessness where Iraqi civillians are again the biggest target and casulaties.

i couldn't agree more with what sophos said, latuffs pictures are rubbish, really manipulative and dont do the situation any justice, i hate the American army, but i also hate the dogmatic and fanatical line that the "resistance" take in Iraq and elsewhere.secularism is the first step towards anarchy!

"The reality on the ground in Iraq is anything but comparable."

It is exactly the same. The US & UK committed the Supreme International Crime in invading the sovereign nation of Iraq without cause, therefore legitimizing the very Resistance they now face.

Read Sun Tzu as to why this has led to their failure.

"the breeding grounds for sectarian civil war"

No, leaked documents, found at  http://www.afterdowningstreet.org prove that Bush & Bliar were discussing ways of stoking existing existing ethnic tensions to achieve the old Colonial trick of 'Divide & Rule' well over a year before their illegal invasion.

"terrorism"

The arrest of SAS operatives in Basra, the use of cars stolen in the US in "suicide bombings", and reports from journalists like Dahr Jamail of Iraqis having their cars wired with explosives while at US checkpoints suggests that much of this was the work of the Foreign Aggressor.

This has also reportedly been used to make US/UK military "excesses" disappear ...

Wrong

Engaging the occupational force is resistence. Bombing civillians on the basis of religion and stoning girls under Shariah law equates 'resistence'?


"No, leaked documents, found at  http://www.afterdowningstreet.org prove that Bush & Bliar were discussing ways of stoking existing existing ethnic tensions to achieve the old Colonial trick of 'Divide & Rule' well over a year before their illegal invasion."

No they don't. You have already been called on that one.

"The arrest of SAS operatives in Basra, the use of cars stolen in the US in "suicide bombings", and reports from journalists like Dahr Jamail of Iraqis having their cars wired with explosives while at US checkpoints suggests that much of this was the work of the Foreign Aggressor."

More wild leaps of speculation with no evidence.

Resistance Accounts for Failure of Occupation

"Engaging the occupational force is resistence."

Exactly. You are incorrect in your Disinformation.

"Bombing civillians on the basis of religion and ..."

Nobody has called this "Resistance". It's what the US and Brits had hoped to achieve.

"No, leaked documents, found at  http://www.afterdowningstreet.org prove that Bush & Bliar were discussing ways of stoking existing existing ethnic tensions to achieve the old Colonial trick of 'Divide & Rule' well over a year before their illegal invasion."

"No they don't. You have already been called on that one."

Yes, they most certainly do. You have not responded to these reports. (And what are you even referring to, Plant? Kinda gave yourself away again ...)
