In an opinion poll in Baghdad and southern Iraq about the ongoing popular protests since two months, 66% said that the government would fail to prevent protests and 74% predicted that the protests would extend to the rest of the provinces. See the graphic, What do you expect?
The water in Basra is outrageous and how awful that it's Twitter breaking the story and not any of the big western media companies.
- This video is a tribute to analysts who claim that Iraq’s national budget is not enough to solve the country’s problems. These men cut the oil pipe—watch how the black gold (oil) is robbed, while people in #Basra drink poisoned water. #IraqProtests #البصرة_قضيتنا #البصرة_تستغيث
- A powerful video illustrating the story of #Basra, its wealth, living conditions, corruption, protests, government violence, toxic water, poison cases...and the talent of the Iraqi youth (I am proud of you Ahmad Alsaad). #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_قضيتنا
- CC: @AdelaAlaboudi, This woman from #Basra has a message for you. She called you a thieve. Protesters gathered money to buy medication for a fellow protester poisoned by the water the @IraqiGovt delivers to residents. #IraqProtests #البصرة_تستغيث #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_قضيتنا
- Activists from #Baghdad delivered water bottles to #Basra residents and protesters. People from #Fallujah plan to join the humble initiative to aid the people of Basra. #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_مدينة_منكوبة
- Activists traveled from #Baghdad to #Basra to cover the protests and living conditions in the province. They were arrested, beaten, and denied travel to return home. Can @UNIraq help? #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصره_تنتفض #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_منكوبة
- This man claims to have tested water delivered to residents and bottled water in #Basra. The lab results indicate that water contains human remains, toxins, and cancerous poison. Can @UNIraq confirm or deny? #IraqProtests #انقذوا_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث #البصرة_تحتضر #البصرة_منكوبة
- This young man broke down in tears & ripped his shirt off in mourning for lower turn out in protesters. He called on people to protest against toxic water in #Basra, lack of electricity & employment. His friend was shot while protesting. #IraqProtests #انقذو_البصرة #البصرة_تستغيث
Alyssa Milano has joined the list of whores rushing to praise John McCain -- racist and war monger. Don't hate Alyssa too badly, remember, she went to school on the set of WHO'S THE BOSS -- she's not very smart and never had a chance to get educated because she's so butt lazy. Also, she was too busy working, for eight years, with a man so awful that CBS just removed him from a hit show. But, remember, Alyssa saw nothing when she worked with him -- even though other women did and even though Alyssa got a producers credit for four years on the show and should have ensured a safe working environment. But again, no brains on that Alyssa, she's just a dumb little twit that used her so-so body to get ahead and now gravity and lack of talent has ensured her acting career is over.
In the real world, adults tell the truth about John McCain:
- This is a map from 2013 of the many countries where unrepentant warmonger John McCain had called for US military intervention: - Syria - Iraq - Afghanistan - Libya - Kosovo - Nigeria - Bosnia - North Korea - Iran - Russia - Sudan - Mali - China https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/09/john-mccain-world-attack-map-syria/ …
A politician's legacy is a political not personal question. An enthusiastic supporter of every imperialist war while in office, John McCain shares responsibility for hundreds of thousands of deaths. To whitewash that is to disrespect those who died in Iraq, Afghanistan, elsewhere
"John McCain was the Iraq War’s biggest, loudest cheerleader outside of the Bush administration"
Do people who advocate for sanctions that starve babies and wars of aggression that destroy entire nations actually believe they’re doing it for the sake of human rights? Like does she really believe she and John McCain helped make places like Iraq better?
RIP all men, women and kids murdered by warmonger John McCain & his pals (like senior ISIS below). Unlike him they never died in peace surrounded by family. The nemesis of Christians, secular Muslims & LGBT in Syria, Iraq & Libya. Kids there can sleep sounder tonight. #bogeyman
- As world leaders line up to pay tribute to Sen John McCain who has died - we should remember him as being complicit in the murder of over 1M innocent people in Iraq and a passionate supporter of the world's worst terrorist - George W. Bush. #NoMoreWar
- .@SenJohnMcCain called me a low life scum. I took it as a compliment coming from a man who bombed Vietnamese, pushed for war in Iraq, called for bombing of Iran and supported the Saudi destruction of yemen. RIP
- Incomplete list of the wars that caused the death of 10's millions of innocent civilians supported by the war criminal known as John McCain: Syria - Ukraine - Libya - Yemen - Iraq - Afghanistan - Yugoslavia - Somalia - Vietnam
- John McCain is a war criminal who directly massacred innocent populations in Vietnam and a technocrat of a similar massacre in Iraq during the1st gulf war. A supporter of the illegal occupation of Palestine by apartheid Israel. He surely has a special place in Hell!
- Not mentioned: In John McCain's 2002 Senate speech calling for the invasion of Iraq, he extensively quoted from an article by Jeffrey Goldberg that was some of the silliest, grossest, most shameless warmongering of the era (which is saying quite a lot)
- He personally killed thousands of Vietnamese and supported the killing of thousands more in Iraq and Libya and fill in the blank. #JohnMcCain
Even more important than that is that John McCain advocated for war against Iraq. He lied about the reasons and half a million Iraqi civilians are dead.
- John McCain and every member of Congress who voted to invade Iraq should be tried for war crimes in The Hague. Declaring him ‘principled’ or ‘honest’ is a desperate blend of revisionist history and the soft bigotry of low expectations re. the Republican Party.
- Btw john mccain fully supported the bombing of a civilian water plant in Iraq during the gulf war which led to the deaths of 500K+ Iraqi civilians, many of whom were children
- Honestly confused at the sudden adoration of John McCain. This man voted against MLK Day, for occupation of Iraq, and against women's choice. Voted with Trump more than 90% of the time. Scored 24/100 on environmental issues. POW /= Great American.
- John McCain vigorously supported every illegal American military intervention since he took office, including Kosovo, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and East Timor. The civilians who were murdered because of his actions will never get the hero treatment he will.
- May @SenJohnMcCain rest in the same amount of peace he established in the #MiddleEast #RIPMcCain #syria #moderaterebels #AlQaeda #AlNusra #iraq #SongbirdMcCain #WWG1WGA #TheGreatAwakening
- My condolences to those in Vietnam, Iraq and Libya, and Syria that died because of #JohnMcCain
- John McCain. You supported bombing Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Libya, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Colombia, and Somalia. You hated brown people. You hated peace activists. You are not a hero.
- I do NOT celebrate death - even of my worst enemy, but I also do NOT mourn when a warmonger responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilian children, women & men dies. #JohnMcCain #Iraq #Libya #Syria #Afghanistan #Yemen #Palestine
- John McCain was a relentless warmonger who ardently supported the criminal Bush-Cheney war on Iraq. McCain admitted that the invasion of #Iraq was wrong only when that had become clear to the whole world. Why is @justintrudeau lionizing this warmonger? https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2018/5/25/17394466/john-mccain-memoir-iraq-war-mistake …
- McCain is staunch supporter of invasion of Iraq, which was the biggest blunder made in recent history. Fooled everyone as a WMD story and destroyed another powerful Arab country. And ofcourse Nasheed would support him.
- Death and destruction followed the lies of @SenJohnMcCain. Advocating wars and arming "moderate rebels" in Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine... list goes on. RIP victims of the wars this man helped lie into existence. Add 1 more to the "Assad Must Go" curse!
- Man who bombed Vietnamese at the start of his career, later destroyed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and more, has himself died. #WhyIamAntiwar #JohnMcCain
- People are going to be mourning John McCain for whatever reason. I’m going to remember him as the guy who cheerlead almost every internationalist war in the last 30 years including Iraq - where 800,000 civilians died. I truly hope he repented before his passing.
- All his warmongering made him a Hero. Thank you mccain for all the people you helped slaughtered, for destabilizing Iraq and thus enabling ISIS. And all the trillions in debt for US taxpayers
- The criminal who took a part in destroying Iraq and killing president saddam Hussein just died and we feel little relieved. For all your crimes against the honourable iraqi people Rot in hell John McCain. George bush just follow ur friends
- Bad news for barbarians, cannibals & headchoppers as John Mccain, killer of thousands muslim & one of the organizers behind creation of Wahabi/deobandi takferi Terrorists is dead now. World is now more safer today. #Syria #Yemen #Libya #Iraq #Iran #Lebanon #Afghanistan #Palestine
