Thousands of protesters, many directing their anger squarely at President Barack Obama, marched through the nation's capital Saturday to urge immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. (March 20)
It's seven years to the day since the US and its allies launched their invasion of Iraq. Hailed initially as a decisive coalition victory, that view was quickly dispelled as insurgency spread, and some estimates put the total civilian death toll since 2003 in the hundreds of thousands. Although US forces are now talking about leaving the country, unrest there remains a grim reality. From Baghdad, RT's Sean Thomas reports.

The Iraq Archive- March 19, 2003 - The eldest Senator Robert Byrd delivers his appeal to not go to war.
(Follow RT at twitter.com and at www.facebook.com ) The US is apparently shipping large quantities of bunker-busting bombs to a British territory. A Scottish newspaper claims the ordinance, which was widely used in the Iraq invasion, is being sent to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. And it's raising fears American forces could be preparing an attack on Iran. Let's talk more on this now with nuclear disarmament activist Alan Mackinnon.
An unrepentant Tony Blair defended his decision to join the US in attacking Iraq, arguing on Friday before a panel investigating the war that the September 11 attacks made the threat of weapons of mass destruction impossible to ignore. (Jan. 29).
In London, the former communications head of the British government, Alastair Campbell has given testimony about the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. Campbell told the inquiry that the former British prime minister wanted to disarm Saddam Hussein via the United Nations. He denied that the ex-US president Bush had persuaded Blair to agree with his regime change policy.

No gunshields on top of vehicles which are also in absurd woodland camouflage making them easy aimpoints for enemy RPGs, what were the marines doing during the preparation for OIF? Ever hear of a paint brush? Thanks to USMC stupidity and unreadiness for even easy Nation-State War (NSW) the US Army's fully tracked, mechanized 3rd Infantry Division sat in west Baghdad for 6 days waiting for the AWOL/UA gyrenes to show up to take their sector! Fault for Saddam & subordinates escaped to start a guerrilla war against us rests with the fucktard USMC—that persists in its errors! www.combatreform.com Incompetent marines are full of excuses about not knowing about the enemy when IT WAS THEIR OWN SYSTEMIC LACK OF PREPARATION FOR PLANET EARTH REALITIES AND UNSOUND TACTICS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD BE FOOLISH REGARDLESS OF WHOEVER THEY FOUGHT--WAS THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER

March 17, 2003 - Stephen Harper, then leader of the Conservative Opposition, attacks Jean Chretien's Liberal government for listening to the majority of Canadians and not overtly supporting or sending combat troops into Bush's war in Iraq. The United Nations did not support the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, called the war illegal in 2004. Massive demonstrations in Quebec and Canada against the impending war in Iraq forced the Liberals to make this public statement against the war in 2003. Chretien's government did send military and command support into the Gulf, and made a deal with the Bush Administration to send a large contingent of combat troops into Afghanistan instead of Iraq (2500 Canadian troops are currently serving in Kandahar until 2011; as of mid-June 2008, 85 soldiers had been killed). Harper and his Conservative party (now the minority Government of Canada) strongly advocate for war in the Middle East, have successfully pushed through increases in military spending in Canada as requested by the Bush Administration, and promote a repressive security state that targets Arabs, Muslims and ethnic minorities who do not support their aggressive neo-conservative agenda. Conservatives Stephen Harper and Stockwell Day are closely tied to the Republican Bush Administration in the United States. Harper and Day's election and political campaigns are heavily funded by oil, gas, defence and conservative lobby ...
With the war in Iraq now in its sixth year, the debate over the true cost of the US invasion and occupation has intensified. Inside Iraq asks if the war in Iraq will pass the cost-benefit analysis of an impatient American public during election year.

This is a video highlighting the propaganda and lies told by the Bush administration in order to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq. These lies included : - Iraq supported Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups - Iraq was developing nuclear weapons - Iraq had huge quantities of chemical and biological weapons - Iraq had a fleet of unmanned vehicles to deliver these weapons - Iraq has failed to destroy its chemical and biological weapons - Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Africa - Iraq was amassing these weapons to use against the USA and its allies - The US security services knew where these weapons were - The insurgency would be short lived - The US military were wrong about the number of troops required and Bush/Rumsfeld/Cheney knew best There were plenty of others ...

Please support www.iacenter.org Iraq UN Embargoes: United Nations and UNICEF estimate that the United Nations sanctions on Iraq resulted in the death of approximately 1.5 million people, including the death of over 500000 children under age of 4. In 2002, a 12 non-governmental organizations study group said that the UN economic embargo against Iraq was flawed because it severely hurt the Iraqi people while sparing the country's leaders. The United States and the United Kingdom used their veto power to prolong the sanctions, bear special responsibility for perpetuating the sanctions against the wishes of the vast majority of the 15-member Security Council. The oil for food program was a joke, if all the money attained from the program was used to buy food, it would have worked out to $170 per year per person. This has been calculated to be 1/4 that needed to feed a dog at the time. Iraq after the US Led Invaision of 2003: A study conducted by the FAFO Institute for Applied Social Science, a Norwegian research group, found in November 2004 that acute malnutrition among Iraqi children between the ages of six months and five years has increased from 4 percent to 7.7 percent since the US-led invasion. The UK Lancet (independent and authoritative voice in global medicine) in July 2006 reported that over 600000 have been killed since the invasion.
