Looks like it. Gates latest trip to the US colony of Afghanistan and then a stopover at Iraq to meet the Prime Minister of Iraq Nuri al-Maliki. However at the last minute Maliki cancelled the meeting citing other engagements.
Do you blame Iraqis? After one million Iraqis dead, according to some estimates, because of war, millions others rendered homeless and still million others living in squalor without proper sanitary conditions, drinking water and food. On the other side close to 40,000 US causalities and nearly 5000 of those dead - the vast majority of these young men/women were from poor families. What are the achievements? Yes Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and friends got a little richer through oil money however Americans in general paid a very heavy price and continue to do so; same for Iraqis. Stupidities of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and associates unleashed extraordinary atrocities both in Iraq and the US. Will we humans ever learn?
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and associates committed war crimes and crimes against humanity according to many of their own lawmakers in Congress. When will these felons be prosecuted?
