Iraq _ The American Graveyard

If you have a brother, husband, son, nephew or a friend in the military, insist to contact them every 48 hours. If they fail to be contacted, act immdeiately. The American administration is lying to you!

Right after conquering Baghdad, Bush Jr went on TV addressing the Iraqi people, promising that :”Iraq is for Iraqis; and that (they) would not stay one moment more than necessary”. To the Western media, Bush explained that it is “necessary’ to stay in Iraq for a few years!!! The reason? To restore peace, of course – a word the Americans gave a totally original sense to.

The Americans who they invaded Iraq, destroyed its infrastructure, killed and arrested its people, looted its historical treasure, bankrupted its economy, dismantled its structure, spread like cancer among its political movements, closed its borders, and bombarded its history starting from the Tree of Adam to The Garden of Babel claimed to have done it all in the name of freedom! Crucifying you for having an infected finger is an accepted American logic (to the American people). The American troops, on Iraqi soil, is regarded as one thing by all Iraqis and all Arabs: OCCUPATION! In face of any occupation, nationals resist, resist, and resist. They kidnap, kill, torture, rape, burn and do whatever a civilian can to push that cancerous foreign disease out of their land. Please help Mr. Bush brainstorming why the Iraqi people cannot just be friends with American marines.

Two American soldiers, kidnapped last week, were found murdered in the North of Iraq. Both were identified. In response, 900 Iraqi civilians were arrested! What for? The ‘terrorists’ were suspected of intercepting American efforts ‘rebuilding’ Iraq!!! I need to buy an American dictionary to grasp this logic; alas, all I got was British education… I thought Bushisms only belonged to that son-of-Barbara –who-could-not-walk-in-high-heels-who-happens-to-be-married-to-a-teacher-writing-a-book-on-her-dog’s promotion to the White House. Far from it, Bushism seems to be the Zeitgist of contemporary America.

Resistance attacks on American troops are escalating. Kidnapping, using white weapons (knives used for sheep slaughter), basic guns and rudimental home-made bombs are used by the Iraqi civilians in face of the well-equipped occupation. Yet, we know that before the collapse of Baghdad, Saddam had distributed 7 million RPJS to 7 million homes in Iraq! His reason? He said : “It is your country; you will defend it”. An RPJ- equipped Iraqi attacked an American ‘War machine’ (?), as per Al Jazeera TV, at the entrance of al Falooja, West of Baghdad. The American vehicle burnt completely.

The American administration is screening information pertaining to American lives lost in those ‘operations’ in Iraq. First, they were burying their dead in Iraq; then after they discovered their corpses to be tampered with by the Iraqis, they decided to deposit the dead in a morgue in Saudi Arabia. A Saudi source that refused to be identified confirmed that the figure quoted to be 800, 8 weeks ago are much more that 1200, in the Saudi morgue. He refused to give a specific figure for security reasons.

On the political level 36 Iraqi personalities representing national movements issued a Formal Warning to both Washington and London warning the Anglo-American occupation of ‘consequences’ of trespassing on Iraq’s sovereignty and depriving Iraqis from ruling their own land, using violence and terror to subjugate the “masters of Iraq”. The Warning added that occupation will pay dearly for this ignorant adventure, erratic policy and their disrespect for the wish of the Iraqi people.

The Warning re-iterated the un-constitutionality of having the Iraqi Army dismantled by a foreign force and confirmed that such a provocation gives civilians freehand to defend their country a la Palestiniene!

This official Warning declared that all national Iraqi parties will act as one in face of the occupation, hinting that there is very little hope of pitting one against the other in America’s favour. Their motto? Iraq, its soil, its history and its freedom. Alas, I think they are deferring their clashes until they are together alone , in their free homeland.
