Brain Dead.
I told myself --I am too tired to blog tonight. But this I could not, not write about...
They say there has been a Brain Drain in Iraq since its "liberation" - And I say there has been a DELIBERATE brain drain through MURDER. I said it in my early posts when talking about Academics in Iraq. A planned, voluntary, deliberate, program of targeted ASSASSINATIONS of Iraq's intelligentsia, intellectuals, thinkers, academics, artists, scientists, doctors, teachers...
WHY do you think this is so ? And WHO undertook this organized crime ? And for WHAT purpose ?
I did mention the culprits in the past. And I did state the long term objectives behind their heinous criminal acts. Do you remember ?
Let's see if you can come up with the right answers-- 5 years of "liberation" down the line.
And this is the list of names. I can already tell you it is incomplete. There are more names, many more names...
SEND THIS LIST TO THE DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL, "ARAB AND IRAQI" BLOGGERS , MEDIA AND THE REST -- WHO ARE SILENT ABOUT WHAT HAS REALLY HAPPENED AND IS HAPPENING TO IRAQ. AND SEAL IT WITH A SPIT FROM LAYLA ANWAR. AND EVEN THAT WOULD BE A WASTE OF SALIVA. AND SMEAR THEIR FACES WITH IT UNTIL THE BLACK INK DRIPS IN SHAME...
AND TAKE THIS LIST OF NAMES AND WIPE THE UGLY, DECEITFUL FACES OF EVERY SINGLE MOTHERFUCKER IN AMERICA, ENGLAND, IRAN AND ISRAEL. SMEAR THEIR FACES WITH THE NAMES OF THE DEAD ONES, UNTIL THE BLACK INK DRIPS ALONG, JUST THE WAY OUR BLOOD AND TEARS DRIPPED AND FLOODED...
THESE ARE THE DEAD IRAQI BRAINS -- MURDERED IRAQI LIBERATED BRAINS.
