Iraq Is Still Under Sanctions...

I am going to post this just released video on the Sanctions, that are still in place...7 years later. Sanctions are still in place, you read me right .

I don't care much for Kristen Saloomey's reporting...from Arabic Fox News Al-Jazeera. But am uploading the video anyway because I can see/hear the grotesque twists in reporting here...and I am about to blast them...

K.Saloomey starts her report with Under the rule of "ARAB" Saddam Hussein...is Saloomey an Israeli or a Persian by any chance ? And is it by implication that the current rulers of Iraq are not Arabs ? Well it's true they are not Arab they are of Iranian descent...but does that mean that now the Arab is gone, the sanctions should be lifted completely ? Wait till you hear the conclusion...

Then the video talks about the sanctions still being applied, since there is fear of Iraq developing weapons of mass destructions - believe it or not !!! even though the sanctions have practically destroyed Iraq's economy, making it totally dependent on food imports and the worst hit sector today is Iraq's agriculture.

The cost of sanctions for this " flourishing democracy" is too high ...with an unemployment rate not of 18% as the synopsis to this video says --but a rate of 50 to 60%. Get your facts right Al-Jazeera ! And am not holding my breath....

This 2mn video then concludes by implying that maybe after all,  the sanctions still need to be in place for Kuwait's sake...but there is NO Kuwait property to return, no border delineations to settle, if anything it is Kuwait that needs to give back land to Iraq and pay Iraq compensations since this little irrelevant province was/is as a major US base -- for attacking Iraq since 1991...but not only...

And of course, the Conclusion, the Finale --- Iraq is still under Sanctions because of "Arab"Saddam Hussein!

I think am switching to Fox News or CNN - at least I get the "real " thing...

Why ?

Yes why? What for? What does it say about you? What does it say about your countries? What does it say about your institutions? What does it say about your governments, your "culture", your "civilization", your history, your "progress", your "values", your concepts...? Have you ever stopped and pondered these questions? Have you ever stopped and asked yourselves ; how come? How come we are so advanced, how come we are so democratic, how come we are so great, how come we are so free...And how come we allow so much murder, oppression, abuse, go unaccounted for ? Have you ever asked yourself this question ? I was just listening to the BBC World radio. A report from Oxfam - and in your eyes that makes it credible - over 70 % of us Iraqis, no longer have access to clean drinking water. I say no longer have because I remember not so long ago, one could turn on the tap and drink. As simple as that. The report goes on to say that over 50% of Iraqis are u...

Endless Beginnings...

For God's sake, tell me where to begin? I was set out to write about Father's day and the thousands of fatherless Iraqi children.The thousands of killed fathers, the thousands of fathers trying desperately hard to feed their families, daily putting their lives at great risk, in a country gripped by demonic violence. The exiled fathers, selling scraps in Amman and Damascus, bearing the brunt of daily insults. Or the unemployed fathers, feeling torn inside watching their kids go hungry. Or maybe the head bent down father, slouched posture, hiding scars beneath a worn out shirt. The father that has been imprisoned, humiliated, tortured and sodomized, unable to look his children in the eyes... Or maybe I should write about sexual torture and sodomy instead... The further horrors emerging from Abu Ghraib and the Taguba report... More reports of "abuse". And I am sure Abu Ghraib is not over. I am certain that more Abu Ghraibs are taking place in Iraq, in those shadowy deten...

Not so Kind...

Image
I am very pissed. I do not have many kind words towards my fellow Iraqis. Let me qualify here, before you start jumping to conclusions. I have no kind words towards that category of Iraqis who gave it away for Free to the Americans and the Iranians. I have absolutely no respect for them, no consideration and zero sympathy. I have zero respect for those bastards living and working in the Green zone. I have total disdain for those who voted and now come meagerly complain about "lack of the promised democracy"..."but we voted" broken record. Sure you voted. You voted for your sects and your wallets. I have absolutely no sympathy for those who applauded and filled their blogs with hurrays "Saddam is gone" and now cry over poor Iraq...and congratulate themselves with cheap words of sympathy coming from the occupier. It took a bunch of your kind to make it happen. Now you have lost it all. I do not want to be too cruel and say you deserve what you are getting be...
