From Pol Pot to ISIS: the blood never dried : Comments

By John Pilger, published 18/11/2015

By most scholarly measure, Bush and Blair's invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to the deaths of at least 700,000 people - in a country that had no history of jihadism.

Dear Plantagenet,

You asked;

“Do you really think your stale left outlook is up to the discussion?”

Sure, why not give it a go.

Hey Pilger, the USA tried to warn the Cambodians that the communists were bad news. The lotus eating Cambodians, said to the "the nicest people in the world", did not heed the warning. Most of them cheered Pol Pot's forces when he finally marched into Cambodia's capitol. They soon discovered that the Americans were right all along.

History has shown, over and over again, that when people become fat and contented they become overly tolerant, think that everybody thinks just like they do, and they lie down and go to sleep with smiles on their faces. And they usually wake up with some bastards foot on their necks.

The Euros became too fat and lazy. They thought that "all you need was love." They wanted to show everybody how much they loved them by inviting everybody on the planet to come onto their territory. What they did was to import people who's ideology demands total obedience to way of life completely alien to Europeans. Idiots like yourself allowed them to cross the European moat and set up shop within the European keep. It was stupidity of the highest order. And now the Euros are paying for their stupidity.

Rather incredibly, people like yourself are still defending this policy of social self suicide.

LEGO; Pol Pot was financed and supported by the USA. He killed a million Cambodians and 2-3 million died of disease and starvation. The Gulf of Tonkin incident the USA now admits was contrived. No Vietnamese ship attacked them. This was the excuse to send in troops and escalate the war. The USA dropped more bombs on Vietnam than the entire WW2.Agent Orange and other chemicals devastated Vietnam.

The false flag attacks continue as the central bankers try to usher in their New World Order. The IMF wants a world currency called SDRs to enslave us even more.

Sure he was, Arjay. And Elvis is alive and well and living in Nacogdoches.

Thank you once again for proving that left wing loonies exist in some sort of parallel universe.

Thanks Arjay, you're always good for a laugh after a long day. "Pol Pot was financed and supported by the USA."

Please explain :)

Joe

Dear Loudmouth,

While the evidence for the US supporting Pol Pot in any meaningful way before the Killing Fields is certainly questionable, afterward the backing they gave him and his party was extraordinary. They worked hard for the Khymer Rouge to retain their seat at the UN as the representatives of what was left of the Cambodian people, they repeatedly stymied attempts to bring their crimes or Pol Pot himself to justice and were more than happy for China and Thailand to support him.

Back when Australia did not kow tow to the US like we do now, I'm proud to say the likes of Bill Hayden and other Australians tried to force the issue of justice in the face of US indifference and outright hostility.

In 1989 the US Secretary of State was still instisting that the Kymer Rouge be part of a future government and it took a few more years again for it finally to consider investigating the genocide.

So yes the US did support Pol Pot and his murderers for a very long time.

This excerpt from Ben Kiernan will tell you more.
