An occupation based on lies
“So then, what is our purpose here? Was this invasion because of weapons of mass destruction, as we so often have heard? If so, where are they? Did we invade to dispose of a leader and his regime because they were closely associated with Osama bin Laden? If so, where is the proof? Or is it that our incursion is a result of our own economic advantage? Iraq’s oil can be refined at the lowest cost of any in the world. Coincidence?
This looks like a modern-day crusade not to free an oppressed people or to rid the world of a demonic dictator relentless in his pursuit of conquest and domination but a crusade to control another nation’s natural resource.”
Written by Tim Predmore currently on active duty with the US 101st Airborne Division near Mosul, Iraq.
Better late than never, perhaps - particularly as, today in Bournemouth, the Labour Party leaders shamelessly defended their crimes. But Predmore joins them in selective awareness: he goes on to say “There is only one truth: Americans are dying.” Just the one?
