Jousting with the Lancet: Pajamas Media Interviews Professor Gilbert Burnham
Here is something to consider.
This studies numbers are very high.
What IF they are accurate?
What if when we air strike a factory we kill thousands of innocent people a day?
What if our government is conducting conscentration camps to eradicate the “insurgence”?
In when frace/germany took over parts of russia the “insurgence” were seen by the russians as “patriots” that would fight and die for their land. What makes a suicide bomber that wants his country back any different?
Innocent soldiers on both sides die, but because it is on their land it is up to them whether or not we take it from them completly. This administration FUBAR’d this operation and should have use tactical strikes against a cult and not an all out war against a country. Neither side is innocent, but we are the more guilty.
Perhaps if our administration listened to their generals we would not be in this mess.
Even if the report is not true, with ramadan in Iraq fanatics are defending their country and beliefs with a religion on their back.
I don’t think we went to war for oil. I think we should. If we are going to rely on a resource outside the US we may as well force them to sell oil to us for pennies at a barrel or blow them up and occupy the land. This is called Imperialism, and USA should OWN Saudi Arabia and not the other way around. Don’t forget Operation Desert Storm when Bush Sr. sent our men to fight a war for the Saudi’s that was won too quickly.
