Perhaps the 'consistency' you refer to comes out of having a two-party state (US) with little difference between them?

I see Dick Chaney's old company (from which he still receives $180,000 per year) has been awarded, without it going to tender, the contract to cap the wells. How long before we see the twin arches of MacDonalds replacing Iraqi iconography? Great war for American imperialism.

Where's the so-called weapons of mass-destruction? The only weapons of this kind are the property of the coalition.

You cannot tell me for an instant that this war is about anything other than US profiteering at the expense of the Iraqi oilfields, all wrapped up as an ideological struggle against tyranny in the world - the non-existent "axis of evil". Because if you are, let me tell you here and now that there are far worse human rights violators who are members in the UN than Saddam Hussein ever was.

I watch with sadness US news coverage of the battles. It's all like a movie to you, ghung ho! There's real people in that country who've lost their lives, innocent lives. As of yesterday the unofficial civilian body-count was 1,200 men, women and children killed and 5,000+ injured and maimed with the figures climbing a each day passes - so much for the oil-for-food pantomime. Forgive my cynicism, and please note that I am glad Saddam's gone (believe me) but it's the methodology, ideology and prime motive behind it all that is now unfolding before our very eyes.

Enter the corporations in the new financial killing fields of the British-created Iraq!
