Ugly...part 16

I found this  a picture of the highway of death...that's the stretch between Kuwait and somewhere in Iraq. That's back in the days when Saddam Hussain was playing his ill fated,stupid war games.
After the Iraqs invading, plundering army was driven out of Kuwait by the American Army ( C.Powel, General Schwarzkopf, Gulf war Bush One)....
...leading to " no fly zone" bullshit during the Clinton years,and eventually the invasion of Iraq by BushTwo and leading to the present quagmire in that country. But, please consider this:-
Go back for a moment to the highway of death...the  fleeing troups of Saddams army with their loot were running north, direction Iraq, in vehicles...on a dirt road in desert terrain.

The American Airforce cut of both ends of the fleeing army...and bombed them..burning, killing somewhere between 10,000 and 40,000 men.This invasionforce in their stuper to invade and occupy Kuwait had no airsupport...only tanks and ground vehicles, unable to even defend attacks from the sky.

Mass murder is my opinion today, no matter how you look at the  misdeeds of Saddam or his soldiers.The US Army/Airforce had no right to kill...execute these men.Based on the Geneva convention these soldiers should have been captured as soldiers, interned and eventually sent home.
What the American Walker Bush Two administration did is nothing short of mass murder.
