I find strange is that many Iraqi units were found well equipped with gas masks
The Iraq military may have had the legitimate fear that the US would use chemical weapons. Its not like they don’t have suspicions of the US. Irrational as it might seem to us.
We have the same story with government deception in Australia. The Howard government is getting quite good at it. its overtime for a new government here.
But at least I don’t live in Indonesia. I dot know if it made the news in your part of the world, but the Indonesians just let a bunch of terrorists implicated in the Bali bombing escape. Apparently all the officials involved just took bribes and opened the prison doors!!!! Talk about corruption. That has to take the cake.
It ‘s all very distressing. I was totally against the war on Iraq. I just don’t think the human toll sheet will balance out better with war. If the reason was regime change, all I can say is half the countries in the world need that, not the least of which is Australia. But in all seriousness look at the daily atrocities perpetrated in Indonesia. The US won’t have a bar of engaging Indonesia. Even after the slaughter of Timor. They stood on the fence. To give you an idea of how evil the military is up there, during the rebuild of east Temor wood was bought from a timber company, a company owned by the Indonesian military. This company logged the timber illegally from west Papua. It just bizarre, the perpetrators on the profit sheet again. For some time the Indonesians have been transporting pigs into the highlands of west Papua. An innocent critic might assume that they are merely buying up land of local chiefs at suitable prices. Australian scientists wonder why all the pigs carry Japanese encephalitis, among other Flavivirus. AhhI have had my rant
