3/31/03 US said prepared to pay "high price" to oust Saddam I read this and the first thing I think of is that scene in "Shrek" where Lord Farquaad is addressing the troops saying, "Some of you may, die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make!" I think the person who decides that the US is willing to pay a "high price" to oust Saddam should be out there on the front lines proving their commitment, preferably with their children in tow. Because the bottom line is that I am the US as much as anyone else, and I am NOT willing to pay a high price, or any price at all to oust Saddam, not when we have so many major problems here at home to take care of first, like impoverished schools, collapsing industrial base, etc. etc.

3/31/03 What Fresh Hell is This? In recent days, the pressure to conform to the government line has increased. Almost every newspaper column I've read, regardless of region of the country, makes at least some mention of the need for the support of troops and George Bush as the war in Iraq begins, either by quoting someone who believes this, or as a direct editorialization in favor of the quelling of dissent.

3/31/03 Russia finds evidence US forces are using Israeli airfields to attack Iraq. Radio communications intercepted during the last five days suggest that the coalition is using Israeli airfield for conducting night air strikes against Iraq. Combat aircraft are taking off regularly from the [Israeli] Hatzerim and the Navatim airbases do not return to the same bases but fly toward the border with Jordan while maintaining complete radio silence. Possibly these are just Israeli Air Force exercises, However, [Russian] radio intercept and radar units observe increased intensity of radio communications coming from the Jordanian air force and air defense communication centers during such overflights, as well as changes in the operating modes of the US Army "Patriot" tracking radars deployed in Jordan. This indicates the Israeli airbases as used as forward airfield or that some of the coalition air force units are based there. Normally the IAF F-15I fighter-bombers and A-4N strike aircraft operate from the Hatzerim airbase and the F-16 fighter-bombers operate from the Nevatim base. Experts believe that these airbases may be used by the F-117 stealth bombers "officially" based at the Al-Udaid airbase in Qatar. Using these two locations minimizes the risk to the F-117s by allowing them to fly along the left bank of the Euphrates (in the direction of Turkey) and to avoid the dangerous maneuvering over Iraq.

I find it strange that the nations that do not want this war are being bribed and threatened to join the coalition, yet the one nation that seems most eager for this war remains in the shadows.

3/29/03 US forces' use of depleted uranium weapons is 'illegal' According to a August 2002 report by the UN subcommission, laws which are breached by the use of DU shells include: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Charter of the United Nations; the Genocide Convention; the Convention Against Torture; the four Geneva Conventions of 1949; the Conventional Weapons Convention of 1980; and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, which expressly forbid employing 'poison or poisoned weapons' and 'arms, projectiles or materials calculated to cause unnecessary suffering'. All of these laws are designed to spare civilians from unwarranted suffering in armed conflicts.

3/29/03 Osama is in Kunar, but the US can't get him "It may be totally un-Hollywoodish for American - and Western - public opinion to digest the fact that these soldiers are being sent on futile missions, and some in the process are being killed for it. But a lot of information about the war simply does not travel - or is edited out by the Western media. Veterans of the jihad against the Soviets in the 1980s remember that loads of Russian equipment used to be available in the bazaars of Quetta and Peshawar in Pakistan. Now anybody can buy night-vision devices, brand new M-16s, fireproof jackets and trekking boots. Where? In the bazaar in Miram Shah, in the NWFP, close to the Afghani Paktia province, where the Americans have a base. The goods are all-American, captured from American casualties. "

3/29/03 How the US armed Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons On August 18, the New York Times carried a front-page story headlined, “Officers say U.S. aided Iraq despite the use of gas”. Quoting anonymous US “senior military officers”, the NYT “revealed” that in the 1980s, the administration of US President Ronald Reagan covertly provided “critical battle planning assistance at a time when American intelligence knew that Iraqi commanders would employ chemical weapons in waging the decisive battles of the Iran-Iraq war”. The story made a brief splash in the international media, then died.

Bush's Manassas

It was supposed to be over in a day. It was supposed to be at best a token battle. So confident were the citizens of Washington DC, so trusting in the official assurances of swift and easy victory that they hitched up their horses and carriages and rode out to the hills overlooking Manassas. They took with them picnic baskets, fruits, wines, and juices, desiring refreshment while they watched General McDowell advance the Union Army against the Confederates. It was to be great sport, well worth the watching, and later, the re-telling. There could be little doubt of the outcome. The Union Army was larger. The Union Army was better equipped. The Confederacy was short of steel works, and many of their guns were made with brass components, which wore out quickly and would not take heavier caliber loads. All went well until late afternoon on the 21st of July, 1861, when Confederate forces flanked the Union Army and drove them into retreat. The retreat turned into a rout.

As Lincoln watched the remains of the Union Forces arriving back into Washington DC, he realized that what had been assumed to be a short battle was going to turn out to be a very long and very costly war, even if victory was eventual.

History repeats itself.

The invasion of Iraq was sold to the American people as an easy victory over a weak foe, weakened in fact by the United Nations sanctions and disarmament. No worry, short war, your kids are safe and will be home in a few weeks. Tune in to CNN for the latest videos of fireworks tearing through people's homes. Not to worry, you won't be shown the torn bodies of the children. You need your full attention for those commercial breaks for beer, snacks, and diet soda; refreshments while watching the fun.

Only, it isn't fun any more. Our kids are being captured, crippled, and killed. The mighty US military has been brought to a standstill in the desert, and kicked out of Basra. Casualties are higher than publicly predicted or publicly admitted. The defenders have shown surprising resilience to invasion.

It was supposed to be a show, an entertainment, bloodless and lossless conquest in prime-time, only it did not turn out that way.

Now we know how the spectators at Manassas felt as they followed the defeated Union Army back to Washington DC in 1861. Even though victory is eventual, we now know what the war will really cost.

 


3/28/03 Wake-up call At the height of the summer, as talk of invading Iraq built in Washington like a dark, billowing storm, the US armed forces staged a rehearsal using over 13,000 troops, countless computers and $250m. Officially, America won and a rogue state was liberated from an evil dictator. What really happened is quite another story, one that has set alarm bells ringing throughout America's defense establishment and raised questions over the US military's readiness for an Iraqi invasion. In fact, this war game was won by Saddam Hussein, or at least by the retired marine playing the Iraqi dictator's part, Lieutenant General Paul Van Riper.

3/28/03 Signs of U.S. POWs found at hospital Now frankly, I doubt the story about the "torture" in the hospital. Batteries are common items (even in US military vehicles). But if Iraq is using torture on US POWs, who set the precedent? Various US politicians have been arguing for months that torture is necessary and permissible in the war against terror. Allegations of torture continue to surround US treatment of prisoners on Guantanamo and Afghanistan, including the death-by-beatings of two prisoners. Now, I hope Iraq is not torturing our kids. Frankly, it would be a PR disaster for Saddam if he did and those line soldiers don't know anything worth the downside. But if it has happened, just remember who sent those children into hell, and who set the precedent that use of torture was acceptable.

3/28/03 No cakewalk The "weasel wording" starts as the US tries to back of implications that the war in Iraq would be a slam-dunk.

Though the war supporters may shout what a great thing this war is, still they stay safely at home trying to talk others into going. If one truly supports the war as a matter of principle, should they not be first in line to fight it?
