Iraqi General Still Seeking Winnable War: Why Some want His Head
“One of the most exciting events of the Fao ‘epic’ is that Iraqi disinformation planners wanted to convince the Iranian command that Iraqi forces…….
"They are making the same mistakes they made during Fao….following the same route..…”
Same Iraqi general , who was head of Saddam’s military intelligence during the many war crimes: during the use of chemicals and gassing of Kurds and Iranians, during the invasion of Kuwait and al-Khafji, during the setting of the Fires of Kuwait when 700 burning oil wells spewed smoke for for nearly ten months (I know, I breathed that black smoke, there was no escaping it, 24/7 for many months), and during the massacres of Shi’as and Kurds in the popular rebellions of 1991. I know people who were tortured and killed by the grisly regime that he was part of; the youngest was 18 years old.
He is still fighting old lost wars, using the massive media of his former victims from a safe distance. A losing General Samarrai in search of a new war that would set the Gulf region on fire again, just like it did when he served his old master. A losing general in search of a winnable war…..a war that American boys and girls or, barring that, Israeli pilots, can win for him and his new masters.
I know, I have written about General W Samarrai before (July 14), but every time he publishes a piece advocating a new war, I will have to respond with my own wish list which consists of one item: his head in the hands of his main victims, the Iraqi people, to decide its fate.
