FREE MARKET FAIRY TALES: Some Iraq War food for thought

[FREE MARKET FAIRY TALES] For that they have many people to thank, including incurious journalists and pliant judges. But most of all, Tony Blair is in debt to his New Labour friends for their efforts to get him off the hook ”” in recent days, Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown.

Iraq, the unraveling (XIII): a faith-based war policy continues ...

[The Best Defense] I will not dwell on the absolute and resolute indifference to the costs of that commitment both by the last administration and by many of its harshest critics, other than to say that a choice needs to be made between Iraq and the other demands on the financial resources of the United States. It's clear which choice Bush administration officials like Peter Feaver and their current allies among former Bush administration critics like Tom Ricks would make if things were left to them, but they aren't going to be.

[War on Terrorism] Mohamad Husam, deputy program manager for the division's operations, maintenance and sustainment program, presented a history of the division's experience with 133 primary health care centers constructed across Iraq, and how maintaining them could mean business opportunities for Iraqi women.

The Scott Ross: United States And UK Created The Iraq War

[The Scott Ross] The memo, written on 31 January 2003, almost two months before the invasion and seen by the Observer, confirms that as the two men became increasingly aware UN inspectors would fail to find weapons of mass destruction (WMD) they had to contemplate alternative scenarios that might trigger a second resolution legitimising military action. Some possible alternative scenerios that were discussed that would legitimize the war ranged from provoking Iraq into firing at a U2 reconnaissance aircraft that was painted in UN colours to an assassination of Saddam Hussein.

Iraq Was A Just War « Clark County Conservative

[Clark County Conservative] As American and Coalition forces begin or continue their withdrawals from Iraq, I’d like to point out that there is not a single drop of Iraqi oil being carried out by them. All the cries of “No Blood For Oil,” accusing President Bush of “stealing their oil” were erroneous and what oil we do receive from the Iraqi’s in the future will be obtained legally and by payment.

BBC - Nick Robinson's Newslog: Iraq war inquiry - lessons to be learnt

[Whatanews4u.Sports] I guess it's quite correct to say, as Mr Robinson reports that Whitehall sources are doing, above, that no enquiry is going to satisfy everybody, no matter how open it is nor what it concludes. Nonetheless, I think the majority of people WOULD be satisfied with an enquiry that actually addresses the issue of why Tony Blair (and others) took a bunch of largely inconclusive and sometimes entirely theoretical/hypothetical reports about Saddam's possible activities, and described them using words like "compelling" and "incontravertible" without being clear about what it was he was basing his conclusions on.
