“The United States, Iraq, the entire world has changed dramatically since 2002, and it’s time the laws on the books catch up with those changes,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said before Wednesday’s vote. “These AUMFs have outlived their use.” He added that keeping the authorizations in force creates the risk that a future administration will abuse them to circumvent congressional authority over war powers.” RT
Oh, the war in Iraq is over. The civic minded, guilt conscience or kind and compassionate American lawmakers said so. Then what? Pat your backside and walk away as if nothing has happened?
You invaded a country under a fabricated lie. It was a premeditated invasion of a country.
You destroyed a country and the lives of tens of millions of Iraqis.
You killed at least a million Iraqis in the invasion.
You maimed and wounded millions of Iraqis.
You stole their oil and their gold.
You stole their money held in American banks.
You murdered its President Saddam Hussein and his family.
You want to end the war and start a new page? What about the war crimes, crimes against humanity?
It is payback time. The war debt, the debt of human lives, dead and alive, must be paid.
It is time to settle the score.
You cannot walk away just like that.
Where is the UN?
Where is the ICC?
Where is justice? Where is your moral obligation?
They will say, what war crimes? The UN, the ICC, human rights watch, WHO are all in our pockets. They are our doggies.
ReplyDeleteWar crimes only apply to other leaders. We are above the law. We make the law. We wrote the Rules Based Law, which we only apply to others and not ourselves.
That is why the USA is so paranoid, nervous and hysterical about losing its hegemony. When power goes away, it means time for others to settle old scores.
ReplyDeleteNot only the USA, Japan is in the same predicament over its WW2 atrocities. That is why it has to rely on the USA for backing. Japan is practically isolated in Asia, with only India to show as members of the QUAD.
And that also applies to the Brits for forcing opium on China together with the complicity of the Europeans trying to tear China apart. That is why they have to maintain alliance with the only superpower for backing. For how long can it last?
Recent peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran that was brokered by China is showing positive results - - -
ReplyDeleteA delegation representing Saudi Arabia and Oman is due to meet with the Houthi leadership in Sanaa next week to sign a permanent ceasefire ending the eight-year war in Yemen, several outlets have reported, citing officials familiar with the talks.
Agreement could be announced by April 20.
On Thursday, the Saudi-led coalition lifted its naval blockade of Yemen (imposed since 2015) allowing most ships to dock directly in Aden and other southern ports without stopping in Jeddah for security checks.
Another noteworthy positive spin off from Saudi Arabia and Iran deal :
DeleteSaudi Arabia plans to invite Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to the Arab League summit in Riyadh this May, a move that would end Syria's regional isolation.
China's contribution to peace in the Middle East and Africa is very simple. Why fight and kill each other and waste lives and resources buying weapons from the Americans and the West to make them rich...while they remain poor and be controlled by the West?
ReplyDeleteWithout the West inciting and provoking them to fight against each other, there will be peace and they can build a better life for their own people.
Do they want to continue to be manipulated by the white men, to be poor and die fighting forever?
Everywhere the white men go, they promote hate, deceive people about threats, raise tension, create divisions and start wars.
ReplyDelete'If two fish are fighting in a river, an Englishman must have passed by' is a Native American saying.
ReplyDeleteWhy do countries want to continue to fight with each other to benefit the White men? It is time to change the thinking and go for peace. Let the White men create wars in their own backyard like Ukraine.
Africans are waking up. Arabs are waking up. Asians like the Japanese, Taiwanese, Pinoys are still being manipulated by the Whites. How silly!
