"1997, six years before the U.S.-led war began last week."

What an idiot. Its a completely new administration, and even a largely different congress. If he's trying to show that the US has been planning this war since the beginning of Clinton's second term, he's in for a hell of a shock.

"Britain and the United States are about to start a real war of extermination that will kill everything and destroy everything"

Like we really give a fuck about that country. Its of momentary convenience and importance. The US will evaporate as quickly from an absent-Hussein Iraq as quickly as did from an absent-Taliban Afghanistan.

"The Iraqi army up until now has not confronted the United States forces'' just ''the Iraqi people, the women, the children, the peasants"

Peasants with guns and occassionally chem-gear. I suppose the two generals we have in custody are actually just extremely influential farmers.

Yeah. I would have walked out too.
