Looking back in anger is insufficient in the case of the war our administration from Hell waged against Iraq. Those who are knowledgeable speaking today are adamant, it increased the terrorism that existed, and made others in addition to this country the object of terrorists because of their compliance
Testimony by the former head of MI-5 today before the U.K. investigation of the war established again that waging the unilateral war on Iraq increased terrorism and the threat of further attacks.
Giving evidence to the Iraq inquiry, Baroness Manningham-Buller said the action "radicalised" a generation of young people, including UK citizens.
As a result, she said she was not "surprised" that UK nationals were involved in the 7/7 bombings in London.
She said she believed the intelligence on Iraq’s threat was not "substantial enough" to justify the action.
Sadly, the threat of war was only relished by the draft dodgers in power in the U.S. at the time. Lack of experience in the horrors of war established the sheer bravado that led to the attitude of ‘bring it on’.
The many deaths occasioned by this country’s terrible leadership in the years of 2001-2008 will never be expunged. Their blatant misuse should, however, be prosecuted.
We completely lost that Great War on Terror.

Of course our policy in Iraq stirred up opposition among the people of Iraq; that’s what it was designed to do. You can’t have a shooting war without someone to shoot at. Of course, w and dick were able to talk tough about fighting because they had never had to do it and would not in this instance either. The corps were able to establish their hold on government almost completely since st. ronnie, and obamarahma, who looks back to st. ronnie as the model, has solidified that control. We will be at war continuosly now, only pausing to consolidate holdings and rebuild the lost material.
