Is the US acting as a sole superpower by snubbing UN? Post your views

There was never a real war fought in Iraq. Once the air space was secure over Iraq the war was over on the ground. Little resistance and no Republican Guard with a million strong were encountered.

Quiet deals were made with Iraq's Generals that were never mentioned and proof of the hush up was the 'Sadler road trip into Tikrit'.

An enormous military base fully stocked with tanks and personnel carriers and munitions and barracks to house maybe half a million men completely deserted. This showed only once late at night and was never mentioned again.

Why? Could the pentagon have told CNN to quash the story? If any deals had been made this is proof of deals made. Why? Because any military man with half a brain would have leveled the entire site with B-52's so that no resistance force could re-enter and use the equipment against our troops.

Why, after the war is supposedly over, haven't reporters returned to Tikrit to interview our troops there and go through the military base? Can this base be used to supply resistance movement now ongoing in Iraq? If the news agencies report the facts why hasn't this story been told.

A war can bring upwards of 10% casualties and if there were 250,000 coalition troops in Iraq that could mean 25,000 casualties on our side alone. Now if our troops had faced a million man Republican Guard Army on the ground their numbers would have been greater that 10% because we commanded the airspace. The Iraq conflict was not a war, it was a military exercise.

A news agency that covers up the truth because the government tells it to, is nothing but a propaganda machine for the regime in power. Kinda like Saddam's outfit.
