Article on Iraq misrepresented facts

Posted December 23, 2011 4:00 am

The Associated Press is ignorant on the facts regarding Iraq. A recent article talks about “pro-Western government,” but that is impossible to achieve if Sharia law is the prime imperative. Sharia law despises a democratic form of government: You have one law for Muslims, another for infidels (Kafirs or nonbelievers) and another for women.

The article also incorrectly states that “no WMDs were ever found.” Yes, there were. Coalition forces found numerous artillery shells filled with chemical agents. Remember the Kurds?

Also, it states that Saddam Hussein did not tolerate al-Qaida. Not true. The Islamic radicals united to plan the destruction of the West. This is an ongoing war for the past 1,400 years. We are leaving Iraq, and all the gains will be lost within the year. Iran will fill the vacuum.
