It Sure Looks Like The US Is Actively Seeking Destabilization in Iraq...

Just Like the PNAC plan requested. So the US is screwing with al-sadr again? I didn't see this on my tv today...

1. Um, I don't think we need much help in doing that

I don't underestimate the power of Iraq people to band together in their effort to oust occupation troops, after which (and before which) they will have their civil war to decide who will rule them.

2. I always get flak for saying that PNAC wants destabilization.But it's true

This has been a tremendous success for them. That's why B*** never looks defeated. He's gotten everything he's wanted.

TONY JONES: Isn't it far too cold-blooded a calculation for the invading force to say, "Well if the Shi'ia and Sunni are shooting and killing each other, at least they're not shooting at us?"

DR DANIEL PIPES: Let me emphasise I do not want them to be shooting each other. I wish that the communities found a way to work together. I'm just saying should there be a civil war, it is not necessarily all that bad for our interests. By no means am I endorsing it, by no means do I want one. I'm looking at it in a cool way and saying there are advantages to it. Let me emphasise that does not mean I want it to happen.

TONY JONES: It's just slightly shocking for someone to say that so boldly, that's the point I'm making.

DR DANIEL PIPES: Well I think it's useful to look at it coolly and say, "What are our interests here?" After all, we are looking at Iraq from our national interest point of view. Will we be all that set back by this? I say no. There are negative things, there are positive things. It's a mix. I'm not quite sure how it will come out.

... and a fucking pig.

Wow. I hate it when I'm right.

5. Isn't Paul Bremmer the one who started all

of this by shutting and locking down this guy's newspaper? No matter, they are a freaking buch of incompetent crazies.
