And the killing fields are growing in number.”
• “The main Victims are, as they’ve always been: ordinary Iraqis.”
• “The U.S. policy on Iraq, not just from Bill Clinton to Bush to Obama and beyond, has been consistent but that it's been consistent for six decades through eleven presidents. That included covert CIA operations, regime change, support for Saddam Hussein and a merciless policy of targeting the Iraqi civilian population.”
