"Fixing the Problem" in Fallujah by William Bowles

The BBC report goes on to tell us

“They [the US] swept into Iraq in a short, victorious campaign, and quickly settled down to nation-building and peacekeeping.”

This is bizarre, Alice-in-Wonderland ‘reportage’ that has nothing to do with the reality of at least 100,000 Iraqi deaths since the invasion and occupation. Nation-building? Peacekeeping? Any reporter worth his salt would know that Bush and his capos long ago told us that the last thing on their minds was ‘nation-building’ and indeed are on record as saying that the objective of occupying Iraq is anything but nation-building.
