It amazes me how one still buys into another lie - that Iraqis did not have freedom. Some Iraqis were on the wanted list. They knew who they were and had the freedoms of wanted criminals. Most others had complete freedom in a country where government corruption was rampant and widespread. Iraq was a prosperous nation. That cannot happen without a significant degree of freedom. But George Jr lies proclaim the entire nation was under Nazi like occupation. That is only a Rush Limbaugh lie.
What are they today? Whereas some once knew they were wanted men; today everyone in Iraq knows they can die at anytime. Everyone only has freedoms of wanted criminals. Today, all - not just a minority - are now daily targets. As Iraqis repeatedly and overwhelmingly said in that BBC program last year.

The BBC last night announced from Baghdad a result of the latest poll conducted by ABC News, Time Magazine, BBC, Der Spiegel, and NHK. By numbers of two to one, Iraqis declared everything as worse than it was under Saddam. Security has never been worse - although neighborhood security and security in the more rural areas has improved. But other things such as jobs, basic human services, etc all were lists as worse. After US spending $2billion just on the electrical grid, Iraq still has less electricity than under Saddam.

They are now liberated to perform all the ethnic cleansing, kidnapping, and murders they want. Clearly Iraqis have more freedom? Is that what freedom is? To fear like you have never feared before? Get a grip. We did not liberate them. We condemned Iraqis - to years of bloody civil war. We liberated people who did not want to be liberated - once we remove the Rush Limbaugh propaganda.
What do we know today? Literally every general who was commanding in Iraq in 2003/4, and Gen Garner and Jerry Bremer - they all told George Jr back then that America was losing in Iraq. It was known back then when George Jr was also lying about how Americans were so welcome. At what point do you concede your mistake - you believed what the lying president was saying. They did not flood the streets to welcome liberators. Instead they gave US soldiers the thumbs up sign.
