Who will teach the White House some core values?

"God take revenge on the Americans and those who brought them here. They have no regard for our lives.'' Those are the heart wrenching words of a brother whose sister has just been gunned down by trigger-happy young Marines in Samarra, while she was racing towards her maternity hospital. For how many people is he speaking? Millions? Billions?

The US military presence in Iraq: the controversy continues

Iraq: The never-ending nightmare for the USA

The youthful soldiers' excuse is that he told them to stop and they didn't. Where did such a war philosophy ferment itself? What sick minds are responsible for programming the captive brains of these delusional combatants, and now will be teaching them "Core Warrior Values"? Have none of them ever read a book other than high school required reading, which would perhaps have pictured for them the atrocities of Ancient Warriors? Is the word soldier insufficient to relate to what is now but a complex policing operation? Is the choice of that word a further gaff for a Military that is becoming legendary in this area?

Few people would doubt, that if this administration's sole objective had been to surgically remove Saddam Hussein, as George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. asserted, the Iraq war would have received much support from many Arab states. The appearance is, however, that despite the U.S. air strike success in Kosovo, the Bush Administration nurtured a hidden agenda that required massive deployment of occupation forces, and the establishment of a loyal and friendly new controlling block in Iraq. This machination by an oil-impregnated administration was conceived as a manner of controlling a sufficient amount of world oil reserves, for the U.S. to be itself an influential factor in the world price for oil.

4. It's a glimpse at their souls that they would even consider military
action against Iran.

Even without the nearly unmitigated disaster in Iraq, it still is an incredibly stupid idea.

This administration is beyond belief.
