I don’t think this is what George W. Bush and his team of advisors had in mind when they sought to remake Iraq as a democratic oasis in the desert. As Breitbart noted:
The Iraqi daily Al-Zaman published an article Sunday titled, “Iraq Needs Hitler,” claiming that the country must heed the German Fuhrer’s warnings about Jews in order to prevent the remaining Iraqi Jews from carrying out their plan to take over the country.
The author, Karim Al-Taee, quoted Hitler’s statements about Jews from his book Mein Kampf, and asserted that they were pertinent to Jews living in Iraq today.
“When I read Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, I discovered that the situation from which Germany suffered is identical to that which has beset Iraq ever since 2003,” the article begins.
Al-Taee goes on to state that the Jews living in northern Iraq have a secret plan for a Jewish-Western takeover of all the country’s resources that began by bringing the Islamic State to Iraq.
As Rand Paul, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders have pointed out, we spent hundreds of millions of dollars to remake the Middle East, and it’s been a total waste. In deposing Saddam Hussein and failing to comprehend that a superior alternative didn’t exist, we destabilized a region and sowed the seeds for genocide.
