Iraq: A Primer
Just in case anyone missed this article from the summer of 2003, I thought I'd link to it (via Atrios) so that we can all remember the nature of the "war" currently being fought in Iraq.
In this "war," the United States military is being used to further the interests of a conspiracy of journalists and corrupt Arab businessmen, whose only claim to international notice is the fact that they are so corrupt that they are willing to do business with West Bank settlers and the Israeli Defense Forces. Ideologically fanatical journalists and corrupt Arab kleptocrats have together hijacked the U.S. military, and are now using it for their own purposes.
To be more specific (and I do not exaggerate): Judith Miller and Ahmad Chalabi usurped the command of elite army units and used them to capture their own personal enemies and to enact their own deadly and infantile fantasies. The U.S. media, dominated by a collection of hacks, Christian demagogues, and Jewish fascists, is now the master of the world's most powerful military.
