An observation. . .

[squee]

We occupy Iraq for ten years and nothing changes in that country. They still posture and talk about blowing up the US and Israel. All of the other Arab states are chill. So why is it that Iraq, which has almost zero income, is able to maintain a military?

Why is it that every time we need a convenient little military action, Iraq starts acting up...?

I think there's something going on there...

Wait a minute! This isn't "Educate Squee Day"! I demand that you feed me the answers so I don't have to do my own research!

You're a spook, and you don;t know the answer to that one? OMG, that's rich.

Keep digging, old boy. Take a look at when Hussein came to power...and who was Director of Central Intelligence. That's all the clue you get, spookboy. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif[/quote]

Be nice. In information warfare I'm nothing but an infantryman. In reality I really have no access to any more information than anyone else...except I generally know who to ask in order to get more http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif

My take on things: The US supports Israel openly and Iraq secretly to keep the Middle East in turmoil. Because we're "keeping the peace," we can take all the oil we want and dictate policy as much as we want. And, whenever the American populace notices that our country is going down the tubes, OOOH look! Saddaam Hussein is acting up again!

Just my $0.02...
