for those of you consoling yourselves that he's less embarrassing

I have news for you....

.

And, you know, I think TRNN edited this interview with Gareth Porter to the point where he doesn't sound like Gareth Porter anymore. He sounds like liberal fascists-in-denial might prefer him to sound. Too many punches were pulled. He was not as blunt as he usually is. There were spots where I know damn well he had more, and the cogent kind of more, to say, and I don't believe he did not say it.

So... pretty soon we're going to have to leap to our guard whenever we see or hear the word "real".....

BTW, does ANYBODY know who's in charge of Iraq yet?

  3. And this morning we have:

    Tariq Aziz: 'Britain and the US killed Iraq. I wish I was martyred'

    Indeed!

  4. I think they offered him a deal. I don't think he would have said:

    [Iran] had waged war on us for eight years so we Iraqis had a right to deter them.

    and other confirming-of-lies things unless he had hopes of being released from prison.

    IRAQ ATTACKED IRAN. WE WERE BEHIND IT AND SADDAM OBLIGED. IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MURDEROUS CONFLICTS IN HISTORY.

    So either Aziz purposely put it that way to please the powers who want to attack Iran [again] or the paper purposely misquoted him.

  5. I mean, he even said he wouldn't speak ill of Saddam as long as he was in prison.... I don't get the logic of THAT, unless they're pressuring him to dis Saddam for them and help vilify Iran. I think I'd be wishing I'd been martyred after enduring the kind of shit they've put him through. I also know, now, that we were being fed all those horror stories about Saddam and his sons precisely so we could go in there and accomplish what the economic hit men and the jackals failed to accomplish. So we cannot even, with confidence, say they were as heinous as they were made out to be.

    It is said that the Sunni Iraqis miss him and the Shia Iraqis revile him. I'm not even sure THAT is true either. Obviously, SOME Shia revile him, but they might only have been the fundamentalists who reviled his secular state, and the rest of them were fine with it. I know for certain a whole lot of Iraqis are wailing STILL over the demise of Saddam.

    Let's face it. We're the fuckers, the wholesale slaughterers, and they've been brainwashing us for our whole lives.

  6. Thanks,

    I didn't have a lot of background there, the quote caught my eye, but your observations lend credence to the fact that that is exactly what it was intended to do!

  7. You are most welcome. I might not have noticed it if you hadn't brought it up and it was a good opportunity to eyeball the propaganda state... which none of us should let run its course on us without a fight!
