Close relations between the US and Israel may have also played an important role in the Iraqi operation, Vasiliev noted. Under the leadership of Hussein, Iraq was then seen as one of the main threats to Israel’s national security.
2 short sentences, that’s all, and very circumspect at that. US and Israel “may have played an important role” : that should be: was the main reason. “Iraq was seen as one of the main threats to Israel’s national security.” ( by whom? ). These platitudes are put into the mouth of an obscure academic.
The Russian Government seems unable to confront this matter directly. Until it does, its ally Syria will continue to be occupied, in part, by American and other foreign armies ( one of them the Israeli army ) and the Israeli Air Force will continue to bomb it.
“PBS’s Bill Moyers noted that “of the 414 Iraq stories broadcast on NBC, ABC and CBS nightly news, from September 2002 until February 2003, almost all the stories could be traced back to sources from the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department.†Â
“We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories,†Bush declared to journalists on May 29, 2003.
in 2008 only 22 percent of Americans approved of Bush and 41 percent said he was the “worst president ever
By early 2018, a poll showed that 61 percent of Americans approved of Bush

They are still lying .Media is obediently echoing the lies.People are falling for the lies with passionate hatred against Puin, Xi, Raisi, Assad ,and with scornful hatred against a fistful of countries including Mexico .
Iraq will rise alone or as part of broader Arab regeneration contingent on Pax Americana’s demise .
America also will but before that it will be passing through multiple slow meat grinders for a long long time .
Is turning back possible? No. Not at all.
N Korea.
The war criminals in Washington, London and Tel Aviv must be arrested and put on trial NOW.
Why this page does not get to the top? Why are you hiding the war crimes against humanity of the evil empire? Twenty years ago you invaded and killed millions of Iraqi and Muslim people. Don’t you want to know what have you done?
Invasion of Iraq is a subject that EVERYONE is talking about NOW, except the racists?
Iraq was only a threat to Israel because it was not led by an American puppet and was well run. A key point is that Iraq was on the Neocon hit list to allow a “Greater Israel” as explained in the Yinon plan. The goal was the destruction of Iraq, and that was accomplished.
This wont go unpunished . The war hasnt ended in that sense .
The retribution though has started already but that is not inititated by Iraqis. Arrogance,incompetence, tribalism, dual loyalty , and careerism that reduced Iraq to dust did not die there in the burn pits but came right back to afflict the air in America .
But that is self-inflicted.
The revenge from Iraq has to wait .Just like Vietnamese ,Granadaian, Chilean are waiting. It will be reverse of the current Venejulean asset or Syrian oil stealing by US .
A new world order is possible .Obviously Zionism will lose its shirt and be reduced to penury in that order.
hopefully the millions of people, that these zioneocon sociopaths murdered, did not die in vain. as this vile corruption of a country has destroyed nation after nation, always leaving devastation and ruin in it’s wake, the world has awaited a champion to emerge and fight down these bloodthirsty murderers.
putin and xi are in moscow, right now, working out the details on the new world order that will emerge and end the zioneocon reign of terror.
