    Eric Haney, one of the founding members of Delta Force, criticizes the Bush admin and the war in Iraq. I found this to be surprising, since Haney has close ties to the pentagon, and put his life on the line in Iran in the 1980s:

    An elite military unit, culled from the elite of the various branches: Marine Recon, SEALS, Green Berets. Covert and special ops forces. Bad Boys.

    I agree with him, and have said it all along. We have clubfistedly believed we can export some idea of western democracy to a foreign land, willy-nilly. We have done so ignorant of the power structures in place, the most obvious cleavage being the sunni-shia split, but there are many others.

    This was a mistake from the beginning, and, here, too, I agree with Mr. Haney: the harm is likely irreparable. We have earned another generation of hate-filled kids, who will grow to be hate filled adults.

    Looks like this was too real, and effective, for the Neo-bots to even try to defend their mass-murder.

    It's actually a U.S. Army unit.

    It seems that more and more people who have been in the military are going Smedley Butler on these neocons.

    Strange, you never heard of it...

    It's one of the most renowned elite military group, There's a famous FPS game series based on it, and even a movie too...

    I stand corrected. Thanks. Don't know where I got the idea it was a jointly-composed unit.

    Funny, the current Administration claims to export democray to Iraq. This is what they want masses to believe.

    I can't believe these people woke up one day and said lets help Iraqi's have democracy, that's after 30 so odd years of backing tyranny and kill Iraqi children under the sanctions.

    Who are real sanction busters?

    Here is the real motive of wars, all wars conducted by US, is under the pretense of Democracy and Freedom. They are good at preaching.


    Very decade or so, American public is being sold on Democracy and Freedom to justify MASS MURDER. Here is man who Speaks The Truth
