[After detailing all the ways the US/UK has messed up in Iraq, Cordesman has this to say:] “I say all of this not because the situation is hopeless but because without an honest understanding of what really is involved here, blaming Iraq for not somehow having conciliation and progress, ignoring what we have done and the legacy of what we have done, the fact that we treated Iraq’s people in many ways like 26 million white rats is not a way that will either bring stability or security.”
[Then later he says this:] “What we cannot do is withdraw and let things spiral out of control.”
Yeah, right. Do these folks even read what they have written? Has he even noticed that things are WAY out of control there in Iraq, and have been for some time? Does he not think that treating people like “26 million [experimental] white rats” would be a reflection of a group thinking process where they truly don’t give a damn what happened to the people? Or does he really think that you can treat people that way and somehow still, later on, stop things from getting out of control?
What are these media types smoking? Whatever it is, I don’t want any of it.
