I am not condoning the war in Iraq, or even this entire engagment, but the information in this artice is not factual
If you want to dispute this engagemnet thats fine, but dont skew information.
Try to report the information as it is rather than to your political agenda.

The “conveyed-through-U.S.-military” WikiLeaks-posted video is shocking & appalling.

However, motivation for the leak of the video to WikiLeaks is potentially multi-faceted.

Might we be looking at the intentional destruction of the United States of America?

If so, ‘Who Benefits?’
.

When Daniel Ellsberg released the Pentagon Papers in 1971, one result was to distract many from the role of the CIA, congruent commercial interests & large banking interests in the Vietnam War.

The “Pentagon” Papers covered just that: U.S. Pentagon’s history & role in the Vietnam War.

The Vietnam War killed 58,000 U.S. soldiers; killed millions of civilians & others in North & South Vietnam; significantly increased the U.S. national debt; helped to make the Laos-Thailand-Burma Golden Triangle safe for U.S. opium ‘democracy’ (countering competing indigenous opium poppy interests); significantly increased opium addiction in America (thanks to opium-addicted returning U.S. soldiers); and enabled seismic testing for oil in the South China Sea for U.S. oil interests (where B52s dropped unexploded 500-pound bombs before returning to bases). U.S. oil interests completed these seismic oil tests – with the assistance of the U.S. military – on the day that the last U.S. helicopter lifted off the roof of the U.S. Embassy in Saigon (now called Ho Chi Minh City).

North Vietnam leaders won. China won. U.S.S.R. won. U.S. defense contractors won. U.S. & U.K. banking interests won. Laotian people lost. Thai people lost. Cambodian people lost. Burmese people lost. Vietnamese people lost. American people lost.

Although some may argue about the facts & opinions expressed above, in my humble opinion, the Vietnam War polarized America and was a small but significant step in the intentional destruction of the USA.

The Iraq, Afghanistan & Pakistan wars (and 9/11) may be larger and more significant steps in the continuing, intentional destruction of the USA. Who Benefits?

As U.S. Marine Corps General Smedley D Butler said, “War Is a Racket.” Who Benefits? In his short, web-available book, General Butler tells us ‘who benefits.’ Large, congruent commercial & banking interests benefit from such wars. Americans & others generally do not. 9/11, the Afghanistan, Iraq & Pakistan wars, the bank-created real estate & dot.com bubbles, and massive private & public debts enabled the 2008 Market Crash. Who Benefits? You tell me.
