Distract and divert: How Tony Blair screens his role in Iraq War
20 years on, #Blair lashes out at #Putin to divert public attention from the atrocities he was behind in #Iraq, not to mention his role in the #Afghanistan war.

20 years on, #Blair lashes out at #Putin to divert public attention from the atrocities he was behind in #Iraq, not to mention his role in the #Afghanistan war.
en.mdn.tv/74AB
This month, twenty years ago, the #UnitedStates initiated a large military invasion of #Iraq alongside its ally, the #UK, without a @UN mandate and in defiance of some of the biggest demonstrations ever seen in Britain.

It was the start of an eight-year occupation that resulted in the deaths of more than one million Iraqi.

#Americans Don’t Care About the #Iraqi Dead. They Don’t Even Care About Their Own.
The #US has a long and disturbing habit of ignoring the violence it commits overseas as well as at home.

Ignoring civilian casualties is a necessary act of erasure if you wish to avoid a frank assessment of not just the Iraq War, but also the legacy and future of #US foreign policy.

If you specify those casualties —which is not just hundreds of thousands of dead #Iraqis in an illegal war begun with lies, but also millions of people injured, forced out of their homes,& traumatized for the rest of their lives —the discourse must change.

However, the repercussions of the #US war crimes and other serious violations of international law in #Iraq continue to be an unavoidable part of Iraqis' daily life.

@IntlCrimCourt en.mdn.tv/746Z
Trauma persists for most #Iraqis as 20% of people had had at least one murdered individual in their household as a result of the #US occupation of their country, as per a survey, conducted by Opinion Research Business (ORB).

Let's be honest: This man had a lot more dignity than we did:

Something big is going down in NW #Syria -- (a) U.S. helicopter gunships firing on a target in the #Jinderes area of #Afrin & (b) a possible SOF raid targeting Tauqir Sharif, a [former] #UK citizen in the Atmeh area of #Idlib.
Personally, I'd be amazed if such an operation was launched at Tauqir Sharif (Abu Hossam al-Britani) -- while his #UK citizenship was revoked, the cause for doing so never seemed more than tenuous.
1) 2nd Thread on #Iran-#Iraq war: let’s discuss why Khomeini needed this devastating war &why did it continue the war for8 years and at what costs?
The #Iranian regime refers to Iran-Iraq was as"Holy Defense" trying to legitimize its biggest #CrimesAgainstHumanity
#DisbandIRGC

2) Let's start with some statistics only on #Iran's side. Obviously, the war was as destructive on #Iraqis. The losses and sufferings of families that had lost their loved ones, and their breadwinner could not be calculated.
3) Those who’ve lived in #Iran during the war, remember the overcrowded cemeteries,daily funerals, weeping& mourning of families and relatives in every street, becoming part of the daily life. Even in the most remote cities, no one was safe from the scourge of war and bombing.
#America has been involved in waves upon waves of genocide of Muslims for 25 yrs. 1m #Iraqis died due to the US invasion. That's not counting the 500k Iraqi children who died of US sanctions. US' concern for a country's human rights abuses is prelude & cover of its own genocide
Nobody knows how to do genocides better than #Americans. Also, their genocides have a particularity, a privilege which other mundane forms of killings don't enjoy, ie, there's no MSM outcry. US practices humanitarian genocides in the name of human rights

1. @MSNBC @KellyO says @WhiteHouse changes #Soleimani cover story. In Toledo & at Fox Trump comes up with "#4Embassies" story. IMO there's a problem with that.
@StateDeptDSS know if they were given warnings. No warning proves Trump lied or @POTUS has #MotherofallBenghazis.

2. Why lie? I took a 3 credit class law school class on US DOJ rules on drone strikes. We are likely watching Trump Pompeo homicide coverup evolve. Pompeo was likely "senior government official" who made final call. I can post the DOJ white paper that
3. focused on drone strikes on US citizens but acknowledges procedures are same.
Failure to change EO 12,333 made the shoot questionable from a US official immunity perspective. Homicide is a usually a crime. If you use power of the State to kill you have to follow the law.

Understand what it means when #Iran “responds” to the assassination of its top general by the Americans by hurting #Iraqis to save face and that further escalation will hurt many more Iraqis who will once again be caught in the middle.
Fuck warmongering men.
Fuck militarism.

I am no fan of the #Iranian regime. I oppose targeted assassinations. I shed no tears for Qassem Suleimani.
I am also no fan of Trump who is the latest US president - GOP & Democrat - whose wars & fuckery in the MidEast stretch so far back it’s difficult to say where it begins.

I don’t think Americans fully grasp the horror of war. There hasn’t been a war within US borders since the Civil War (?) Its soldiers - now mostly the children of the poor & people of colour - have been sent to fight other children of the poor & people of colour across the world.

Holy cow! Senior militia leaders killed in American strikes in Iraq, and could include Iran’s Qassem Soleimani or one of his top aides from Iraq. Beyond insane.
So far confirmed — the Pentagon is saying two senior operatives “linked to Iran” were targeted.
Iraqi TV claims that Qassem Sulaimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were killed.
If true, this is no doubt the most significant/consequential killing probably in a decade.

Whoa! Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi (iranian-backed popular mobilization forces) is reportedly confirming that its deputy and Qassem Sulaimani have been indeed killed in American strikes.

[THREAD] Morning DC, as a 🇪🇺 newly arrived at the @Washinstitute, I’ve been surprised by several things in the current US discussion on #Syria and the fight against #ISIS. I have focused on two in this piece on @thehill: #endlesswars & #burdensharing thehill.com/opinion/intern… 1/
I have indeed heard a lot about the need to stop « #endlesswars » in the #MiddleEast. European can probably see good reasons for this from #Afghanistan to #Iraq, as many of them opposed the war in Iraq. However...2/
Seen from #Europe, #Syria is not one of US #endlesswars, but a low-cost, high-efficiency CT op. It has not been shaped by US intervention, rather by US reluctance to intervene. Europeans who opposed the US-led war in #Iraq consistently called for more U.S. leadership in Syria. 3/
