Jabou,
I guess the only ones they fooled with their stated objectives of invading
Iraq are the extremely gullible. They may have fooled even themselves by
eventually believing in the repeated lies that they told themselves and the
world over and over again. Now the reality seems to be dawning on them that
they have bitten more than they can chew... Uncle hyena is now offering to
share the 'kill' that refuses to die. History, it seems, is repeating itself
because imperialism refuses learn its lessons.
Regards,
Kabir.

Amadou Kabir Njie,
The above is precisely the reason for the occupation of Iraq and the
labelling of Iran as an axis of evil. If this one went well, they would be
next and
they have lots of oil.
Things are really falling apart because now military families are protesting
and demanding to know when their loved ones will be home.
We live just a stone's throw from one of the biggest millitary bases, Fort
Campbell in Kentucky, and these protests are by families who would normally
be
out canvassing for support for the troops.
