When the US government invaded Iraq in 2003, I wonder how many US officials contemplated the possibility that the cycle of death and destruction that they were initiating would be continuing 13 years later. …
The battle for Mosul is being met with considerable indifference or nonchalance among many Americans. After all, there are so many more important things to talk about, such as sex scandals. But the fact that US troops are still fighting, killing, and dying in Iraq 13 years after the US invasion of the country (and 26 years after the US government’s Persian Gulf intervention) is truly remarkable. …
The battle for Mosul, thirteen years after the US invasion of Iraq, only goes to show what a disaster US interventionism has been in Iraq and, for that matter, all over the Middle East. … The ultimate goal in the battle for Mosul is the preservation of the … regime that the US invasion installed into power. …The Iraqi government is a US creation. It owes its existence to the U.S invasion and occupation of Iraq. … there are people in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East who will never accept the legitimacy of a regime that has been installed by a foreign power, especially when that foreign power is the US government. …
all the death and destruction that the US military-industrial complex has brought the Middle East — not just in Iraq but also Libya, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, and Israel … After 13 years of death and destruction that the Pentagon and CIA have wreaked in the Middle East …
The current battle for Mosul is a mini-poster for the manifest failure of US interventionism. … don’t forget that when terrorists retaliate for all the people who US forces are, once again, killing in Iraq, US officials will then use that threat to suspend even more of the rights and freedoms of the American people in order to “keep us safe” from the enemies their endless interventionism continues to produce. …
After 13 years of senseless death and destruction, out of control federal spending and debt, and infringements on our liberty, privacy, and well-being here at home, why aren’t they demanding that the troops be brought home without any further delay?
