He was not Baghdad bob but bob actually had credibility with me as he told the truth based on his reality unlike the truth based on lies the coalition told us. And to pass the death penalty on the foreign minister because he tried to defend his country and do his job function? Would be like putting Larvov on death row.
Tariq Aziz Obituary Former Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq By Hans-C. von Sponeck and Denis J. Halliday
Tariq Aziz impressed us again and again by his commitment with which he cooperated with the United Nations when we served at different times as UN humanitarian coordinators in Baghdad. His relentless efforts to prevent the 2003 war will not be forgotten. He was a hard but highly principled task master without whom the inadequate UN Security Council response to human suffering in Iraq would have had an even worse impact.
During the past years, we had hoped that influential leaders would see it as their moral responsibility to see that Tariq Aziz, a sick and elderly statesman, would be allowed to live his last days in the comfort of his family. We were wrong. We had appealed to former US Secretary of State, James Baker, who co-chaired with Tariq Aziz the 1991 Geneva negotiations on Iraq, to support calls for humane treatment of his former counterpart. Baker refused to act as a statesman. We also had hoped to hear the Pope’s voice for fellow Christian Tariq Aziz following our contact with the Holy See’s foreign minister. The Vatican remained mute. Other leaders in Europe and elsewhere preferred silence to compassion.
Not even our own organization, the United Nations, could muster the courage to demand fair treatment for the man whom the organization had known over decades as a convincing and credible defender of Iraq’s rights.
As time passes, we are certain that Tariq Aziz will increasingly be remembered as a strong leader who tried his best to protect the integrity of Iraq against all odds within his country and against outside interference by self-serving political forces.
I am not complaining.
I wanted to view the video, but it would not play, except for a second or two, before freezing again for some long minutes. Maybe it’s nothing, I’m just letting you know.
Link is not working at all
here is good version of it https://www.youtube.com/user/crimeanfront/videos
I couldn’t get to the saker site here for a few hours this evening, and neither could ‘downforeveryone’ site — got connection timed out error. I saw the same message in the video screen above a few times, and now, but for southfront.org. Was it world wide, nationwide, or just some are(s) — I don’t know, but the blog works fine now. I figured the server was down for a while. Maybe the linking with southfront blocked saker too (but I don’t know how this works)?
Saker site was down for about 3 hours; I’ve not been told why. But we are separate from South Front in every way (except ideologically, I guess). Much more likely both were simple network or server problems, not a planned attack. Connections to the SouthFront video server are unstable, they are always working on it; when it’s good it’s excellent, but it still needs tuning. Use the Youtube link to get their videos.
MSM gears up to sling some more mud at a head of State;
Putin to Central Asia: Let Daddy Save You From the Islamic State.
Too bad those
WASIS clowns are being fed, clothed and paid for by the Gorgons from FUKUS.Just to see how far from broad based reality these guys are living in, just read who they are and what they are saying. Its a who is who in US policy and what is really scary are the number of military people out of their freaking minds..
Why the law doesn’t apply to people like David Petraeus. Not only does the national security elite believe members of their club should face different standards of justice, but they also believe our recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been successes.

They were successful. The goal was destruction. Mission Accomplished.
