Why are Americans against the war in Iraq when the soldiers ...
[Soldier Move] I have known many soldiers who have been in Fallujha, Bahgdad, and other parts of Iraq and they have seen up close and personal the daily lives of the Iraqis and how they support the soldiers. Why is it that we as Americans do not belive in what is going on and our soldiers?

Iraq war badly planned - Bremer
[Close Protection Forum and Surveillance Forum] From what I heard from witnesses at the Iraq inquiry the Uk rushed to war, we were not ready and did not have the same resources as uncle sam. Blair wanted to play with the big boys and then he lied his arse off at the inquiry, no doubt with some coaching from his wife.

The Iraq War and the Limits of International Law - Iraqi Streets
[Iraqi Streets] A current example is the ongoing row over the government’s drug policy, which shows in much the same way as the Iraq war the tendencies of ministers to overlook the advice of their advisers or to bypass them completely, and, perhaps, to prioritise achieving visible outcomes over following appropriate decision-making procedures. Excessive reliance by critics of the war on legalistic arguments may itself be the product of a general sense of disaffection with the political process, which would seem at first instance to be a more promising arena for voicing opposition to the invasion than the courts.

Debate on the War in Iraq - 2/12
[Mandelinople] While I disagree with his foreign policy ideas it is important to note that his supporting of the Iraq war is different than most peoples as he was focused on Liberation/an end to facism in Iraq rather than the neo cons who are focused on spreading Capitalism/Globalization

The Iraq War and the Limits of International Law | openDemocracy
[openDemocracy - OurKingdom] In the wake of the British parliamentary election, and as the Chilcot Inquiry continues its assessment of the decision to invade Iraq, an opportune moment arises for commentators and policymakers to reconsider how international law regulates the initial decision by states to go to war. This opportunity should be taken since, while the media has considered the question of whether the Iraq war was illegal in depth, the underlying issues of what illegality means in the context of international law, and why public officials frequently differ in their interpretation of it, are seldom addressed.

Bush: Iraq War Helped the Economy | Finance Moz
[Finance Moz] One last point, if you compare the money spent in Iraq, then think about how much that money could have helped here in the US then you might understand my point. So lets say the bush govt spent a fraction of the 500b currently spent in iraq into education, this recession could have been avoided.The education people would have recieved could have helped them get better paying jobs increasing their earning and understanding of the enviornment around them thus avoiding the recession crisis of today

Al Qaeda appoints new 'war minister' for Iraq - The Long War Journal
[The Long War Journal] Al Qaeda in Iraq’s founder, Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who was killed in a US strike in June 2006, had insisted from the very beginning that al Qaeda’s best chance at destroying the Iraqi government and imposing an Islamic state was to fan the sectarian flames. Zarqawi made the argument to al Qaeda's central leadership that the Shia must be viciously targeted, even if it meant a full-blown war against the Shia.

An 'Islamic civil war' in Iraq? - By Tom Ricks | The Best Defense
[The Best Defense] I wish Tom Ricks, who is an excellent reporter when he hasn't already made up his mind what is going to happen, would evaluate these possibilities, even if it disrupts the clarity of the "Iraq unravelling" message he decided on many months ago. Or if it precludes quoting from newsletters with an "edgy, executive" writing style.

That Iraq Withdrawal We Elected in 2008? | Emptywheel
[Firedoglake] The Iraqi government continues to take steps to resolve debts and settle claims arising from the actions of the previous regime. Before the end of the year, my Administration will review the Iraqi government’s progress on resolving these outstanding debts and claims, as well as other relevant circumstances, in order to determine whether the prohibitions contained in Executive Order 13303 of May 22, 2003, as amended by Executive Order 13364 of November 29, 2004, on any attachment, judgment, decree, lien, execution, garnishment, or other judicial process with respect to the Development Fund for Iraq, the accounts, assets, and property held by the Central Bank of Iraq, and Iraqi petroleum-related products, should continue in effect beyond December 31, 2010, which are in addition to the sovereign immunity ordinarily provided to Iraq as a sovereign nation under otherwise applicable law.

The War On Terror : Iraq News and Information
[Iraq News and Information] But that was not the end of the negative impacts of the war on terror, because president Bush and his administration engaged in two wars that would eventually cost the government three trillion American dollars and since a lot of it is allocated through taxation, people could not pay off their debt, mortgages, etc”¦ and with the rise of oil prices and the weakened US dollar the American economy has gone into a recession that could be considered stronger than the 1930’s. A lot of the American people, especially the educated, saw this coming an would criticize the American government for engaging in such an open-ended war, for example Timothy Garton Ash describe the war on terror in his article “The War on Terror is Over.” As an “abstract noun.” He also discussed the difference between this war previous ones that the USA engaged in by saying “It’s never been anything like the Second World War, against Hitler’s Germany, or the Cold War, against the Soviet Union.

Ron Paul warns U.S. is following Iraq script in march toward war ...
[My Catbird Seat] Listening to the debate on the Floor on this motion and the underlying bill it feels as if we are back in 2002 all over again: the same falsehoods and distortions used to push the United States into a disastrous and unnecessary one trillion dollar war on Iraq are being trotted out again to lead us to what will likely be an even more disastrous and costly war on Iran. The parallels are astonishing.

Iraq: Setting the stage for the next, smaller, civil war - Michael ...
[The Hastings Report] The alliance between Iraq’s two key political coalitions that was announced yesterday shores up the power of the Shiite-dominated regime in Baghdad for the next four years. My guess–a wild crystal ball prediction, to be sure–is that we’re seeing what the government in Iraq will look like for not only the next four years, but for at least the next decade.
