Patrick Graham

How Bush Became the New Saddam

[audio:http://dissentradio.com/charles/2007-09-24patrickgraham.mp3]

Patrick Graham discusses his new article for Macleans about America’s renewed alliance with Saddam’s old Iraqi Ba’athists, the “redirection” against the Shi’ites that the U.S. has been supporting since 2003 in the name of containing Iran, how they’re only sowing further disaster, the vitriolic hatred and willful ignorance of the red-state fascist, Bush worshiping, Kool-Aid drinking, 29% dead-enders and his experience observing Blackwater mercenaries in Iraq.

  1. Being an "Embed" Patrick Graham is not going to give you a totally critical view of Iraq. Dahr Jamal and Nir Rosen will give you the real deal.

  2. The flat tyre “war on terror” is at the turning point. The original plan, to win the non-puppet Sunni Arabs in Iraq and Afghanistan and then turn against the ally of the initial phase, Iran, and beat her as well so to control the world ever after, has been in shambles long ago. This is the line that Patrick Graham and the rest of the zionists are pushing desperately about Sunni co-operation. This is being pushed in the media and in the Congress because everybody on the ground knows this train left the station over a year ago. After the recent U.S.-Iranian negotiations (3 rounds) in Baghdad (!!!) about the armed control of Iraq (!!!), no one not gone bananas thinks Iran would become a target. This is why the zionists are screaming in all the newspapers because they have lost all ability to influence everything including Kurdistan.

    The “surge”, U.S. final attempt to restore the monopoly of violence in Iraq has not and will not bring the desired result, armed control of ground that would enable the U.S. to orchestrate new puppet elections, the U.S. strategic goal for the CY 2007. As this goal (that would have allowed the newly elected puppets to pass the Iraqi oil to the occupier) will not be reached in any CY ever after, the war in Iraq is lost and the question is how its going to end and what takes place after that.

    The entire strategic reserve of the U.S. Armed Forces has been poured into Iraq with surge, absorbed by the resistance and now the occupier stands in a little motivated pre-election posture with weak momentum and space to maneuver. Like the Germans in the Ardennes offensive, the Americans have reached the tipping point and are just about to be defeated.

    This is the reality.

  3. the zionist plan such as it is runs like this. get china to pay for the war and put a 20% import tax on their goods if they don’t jump to real quick. china yesterday began the selling $200 billion of the $1.3 trillion to reinvest the money elsewhere. europe is a larger market today for china than the US. you can’t sell long date dollars in europe or asia at all the only market is in the US (mainly fed funded buybacks). pretty soon the chinese will realise they have a $1.3 trillion bad debt and then they will dump the lot. the petro dollars are coming home six months from now the last gold in the US will have to be shipped out to pay for the gas to get the troops back. no general is going to sign off on the certain loss of his army and no foreigner is going to take debt that can only be sold in a domestic market.

  4. most of our problems would be solved if we would kick AIPAC out of the country. Of course, such obvious solutions are always ignored.

  5. I would like to contact Mr. Graham regarding the death of my husband…..and the huge coverup in this southern texas county. No attorney in texas will go against them and so I need to share this surreal but sadly true story.
    Sinerely,

  6. Getting education is a basic right of every human being. Special children also have a right to get education. It is a great deal of help to them. Special education makes them learn to live in the society normally.
