-
- So, Uday and Qusay Hussein rest on a slab with a name
tag attached to their toe. Using a tank killer and TOW missile to finish
the task, no surprise that the photos are not flattering to the deceased.
As one looks upon the images, what exactly does one see? Contention over
their authenticity, may become sport for a parlor game, but the facts remain
- the Hussein boys are finally irrelevant. Definitely, it won't be long
before those pictures will undergo a creative metamorphosis into your favorite
and hated foe. Can't you already see a bloated Bill and Hill look alike
in the garb of the wicked tyrants?
-
- Such thoughts may offend the sensibilities of the Clinton
faithful; however, the similarities are hard to ignore. The Hussein's were
nationalists and ran a criminal gang of sadists and gangsters. The Clinton's
are internationalists and presided over their own network of organized
crime and murder inc. That 45 slug mutated into aircraft debris will remain
a mystery that only Ron Brown can explain.
-
- If the clan from Arkansas is not your antagonist, the
Bush family has even a longer record for nefarious lawbreaking. Feuds between
business partners often lead to hits by paid assassins. In the underworld
of cabal disputes, former friends frequently become menacing threats.
-
- While Ba'ath Party loyalists continue their guerrilla
attacks in a continued war of attrition, we are told by Dick Cheney that
"it would have been "irresponsible in the extreme" to ignore
the threat posed by Iraq". Of course the real question must ask: a
threat to whom? The subversives from the Meyer Lansky wing of the syndicate,
has their own agenda. The triumvirate of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle
are eager to expand the occupation, colonize more territory and protect
their homeland.
-
- Are any of these "made men" relevant to your
interests? The same traits that made the Hussein reign despicable are and
were practiced with polish and subtlety in the Clinton and both Bush administrations.
Detestable deceit is common place in any despotic regime. The focus behind
U.S. foreign policy is imperialism. The failed drive for regional mastery
under Saddam was also based upon dominance. The super power eliminated
the capo. The organization purged a renegade family. The mob continues
to do their business.
-
- What remains a riddle is why Saddam didn't make peace
and accept his role as a bit player? Assuredly, the take from the oil extortion
was ample to fuel the armies of empire. So why did the Hussein territory
buck the commission? He certainly was no religious fanatic. Implications
that he was playing a deadly game of chicken, is too simplistic to square
with his history. What was really behind the refusal to provide proof that
WMD, especially nuclear, no longer existed in Iraq? Speculation that such
weapons were moved out of the country, begs the issue. You use them or
lose them, when you take on the MAN.
-
- Critics that point to the imminent danger from North
Korea have far more credibility than those who clamored for invasion of
Iraq. So what was behind the seemingly idiocy in Hussein's actions? Hope
for a dynasty died with the mangled images of his sons. While many Iraqis
won't believe the photographs, the relevance of the Saddam era is rapidly
ending. Dead men don't tell tales, Odai and Qusai were made silent!
-
- How is this reality much different from the domestic
situation? The scheme has always been to secure a dynasty of continuity
to ensure control over the People. However, the relevance of any presidential
regime fades with each new contract that is executed. The methods of the
hit will vary, but the goal of rubbing out the upstart or the non compliant
is the same. Most Americans are fooled into thinking that the picture of
the target or mark is not a reflection of themselves.
-
- They may fantasize seeing the image of an extinct political
enemy, but the prospects of that happening is slight. The next dead victim
will more likely be one of their own. The deaths of the Hussein brothers
won't hasten closure. It only signifies that a replacement tin horn dictator
will be selected by the bosses.
-
- As long as the masses heed and give obedience to the
phony protection scam, the gangster political culture will spread their
contrived fear and enforce their counterfeit safekeeping. The Clintons
and the Bushes are godfathers of the corrupt. The Husseins were outlaws
who bucked the system. Their removal settles a turf fight. As any good
Mafioso knows - point the spotlight on someone else, keep a low profile
on your own crimes and keep your enemies close. These crooks are all bandits
scheming to avoid their own lynching. So when you look at the mug shots
of Uday and Qusay - or are they Odai and Qusai - what do you see? We'll
let your imagination paint the picture that fits the offense.
