I have an eye appointment so let's let this ride until I get back. I will tell you all about how we got into Iraq. You will be surprised at my analysis.
Trump's efforts to extract the US from foreign excursions that enrich American elites lined up at the trough of the Military Industrial Complex, are well founded. Trump is aware that war is profitable for some sectors of the US economy, but he is also cognizant of US hatred generated by these endless wars.
Today is the anniversary of the destruction rained down on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. None of the Washington politicians that fomented global animosity against America were killed in that attack. When Trump says he wants to put a halt to endless wars he is threatening a long-standing gold mine for US leadership that sends troops to die or get maimed in distant outposts that plant the seeds of revenge against US citizens.
We have to go back many years to trace the origins of that horrible attack on New York City that destroyed the Twin Towers. First, let us remember the revolution in Iran that deposed the western-controlled Shah and the taking of American hostages in 1979. That protracted event was mishandled terribly by then President Jimmy Carter and the hostages were held captive for more than a year until Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980.
But a simultaneous event took place in 1980 that raises suspicions leading to the conclusion that Saddam Hussein may have been acting in the interest of the United States when he Invaded Iranian territory sparking the Iran-Iraq War. It is not out of the question that Hussein, at the urging of the CIA, was functioning as a counterbalance in the region to destabilize Iran. America’s economy was heavily dependent on Arab oil at the time. That conflict lasted eight years, elevating hatred in the Arab world to critical levels for interfering in Arab affairs.
If you study history, you may be familiar with name, April Glaspie, a former ambassador to Iraq in the George Bush, the elder, administration. Glaspie’s fumbling led to the invasion of Kuwait in 1990 with dribble like this:
“We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America”.
Saddam took that as a green light to annex Kuwait further ginning up Arab hatred of the US.
The first attack on the World Trade Center took place in 1993, just five years after the Iran-Iraq conflict ended and a mere three years after the Kuwait invasion. It failed to take the structures down, but the seeds of hatred remained deeply planted. It took another eight years to harvest the new crop which in 2001 was successful.
After the 2001 attack, Bush, the younger, promptly moved to save his father’s reputation by turning on Saddam and accusing him of harboring weapons of mass destruction which he likely had supplied to him by the United States. None were supposedly found which is was incredibly convenient. So, the invasion of Iraq served two purposes, it appeared to extract revenge for the World Trade Center, and it took Saddam out of the picture before he started talking. Oddly, no one followed up on why Iraq was invaded when it had nothing to do with the attack.
Trump wants to end these endless wars that make people all over the world hate us. We need to listen to him before we are attacked again with even greater wrath and destruction next time.
On November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking more than 60 American hostages. Their reaction was based on President Jimmy Carter’s decision to allow Iran’s deposed Shah, a pro‑Western autocrat, to come to the U.S. for cancer treatment and to declare...
