"Tell Me Again, Why Did My Friends Die In Iraq"? (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Past:

The battle was the second assault that year on the then-lawless city of Fallujah. Called Operation Phantom Fury (Operation Al Fajr in Arabic, or The Dawn), it was a full-scale attack on a city teeming with insurgents who had months to prepare defenses, booby traps, and explosives throughout the city.

When it was all over, American and friendly forces suffered more than 100 killed and more than 600 wounded. The Red Cross estimated 800 Iraqi civilian deaths. Insurgent deaths were much greater than both but impossible to count.

Present:

The proof of how pointless the entire endeavour was — if you even needed more — came Friday morning, with a report from Liz Sly in the Washington Post.

“At the moment, there is no presence of the Iraqi state in Fallujah,” a local journalist who asked not to be named because he fears for his safety told Sly. “The police and the army have abandoned the city, al-Qaeda has taken down all the Iraqi flags and burned them, and it has raised its own flag on all the buildings.”

The fighting continues for a 6th day today.  Fallujah has totally fallen to al-qaeda while half of Ramadi has.  Over 100 people have died in the fighting.  This is a huge victory for al-qaeda whether they stay or not.  If there is a chance they stay though, that would be very bad indeed. -Mort

      George W. Bush should be sent it with a sling shot and a handful of paper clips.

          Oh nooooo, didn’t you know? It’s allll Obamas fault. You must fall into line. The status quo is that Obama is the Anti-Christ and that EVERYTHING from beginning of time is Obamas fault….

          even Bush and the famous lie, “They have weapons of Mass destruction.”

      These seemingly senseless wars serve two purposes… 1) The capture of resources for private corporations including oil, antiquities and drug production. 2)The practice/training of marshal law in the use of the military complex. This process also identifies those in the military who are willing to perform these services on American soil. The what, where, how and when are self evident…it’s the who and the why we call “they”. If you don’t know who and why, then you can’t do anything about it…that’s the foundation of “classified”.

      Why did we send our troops to die uselessly? Because the minute we come off the Petro-dollar, Zimbabwe will look like a gold vault, as compared to the U.S., that’s why. Saddam Hussein said ‘I will ban all Iraq oil sales in petro-dollars, and effective next month, all sales will be in Euros.’ He might as well have phoned up Queen Elizabeth and conferenced in the Rothschilds and told them he was going to shoot himself on the 10-pm news.

      Why did we pull out of Iraq? Because ‘mission-done’, Saddam was dead, petro-Euros as a concept is dead, and the bankers were back to being profitable. Yep, Bush sent them in – but don’t you EVER forget that Obama pulled them out against his Generals and advisors recommendations. Ask Muammar Qaddafi how his ‘we will now sell oil directly to our Arab brothers for gold, and no longer accept the petro-dollar’ plan worked. See, you don’t threaten to destroy the U.S., and to come off the petro-dollar does just that, without us going to war to stop you.

      They didn’t die in vain in Falujah, you just didn’t understand why we went to begin with. Shame on you, for listening to mainstream media.
