John, I hate America, Simpson from the SCBBC spins on it here

He starts out lulling you into a sense that things are great in Iraq before going on the attack. People can talk openly about politics without fear from Saddam, children do not report on anti government statements their parents make, and people actually look at him when he walks in the street. He says this Iraqis can now say what they think, and speak to anyone they want. That is one of the two great benefits of last year's invasion.

And then the spin starts:

The other is that the UN sanctions against Iraq, forced through year after year by the US and Britain, have finally gone. The shops are full again, and malnutrition and grinding poverty are becoming just a bad memory.

The entire world, except for Mr Simpson, now know that it was the UN itself and Koffi Annan through the oil-for-food scandal that was responsible for the "malnutrition and grinding poverty". You and the SCBBC should be ashamed of yourself for this nonsense. In fact there should be a law to lock people like you up for such lies.

The SCBBC should fire this guy immediately! Look at this:

Saddam Hussein kept the Sunnis, Shias, Kurds and others quiet through the exercise of simple terror. Without him, the country is going to have to find other reasons for staying together.

SIMPLE TERROR, SIMPLE TERROR? I'll give you $1,000 to say that to a crowd of Iraqis. Define simple terror you moron. You demean the terrible suffering millions of Iraqis have suffered. You are no journalist Mr Simpson, you are a sad man with an ax to grind and your using the Iraqi people as a grindstone to sharpen your ax. Shame on you. I call on you to quit the SCBBC immediately!

"Find other reasons to stay together" - how about because they are a country; they are Iraqis! They didn't need Saddams terror to stay together. You imply they had no other reason than Saddams boot to stay together. How in the hell do you stay a reporter?

Having fun so far readers? Well get a load of this. This alone will show you just how evil this guy and the SCBBC are:

The key figures in the Pentagon and the White House who wanted the overthrow of Saddam believed Iraq would quickly accept American-style democracy, and that the invasion would be the start of a domino effect in the Middle East.

Well, so far there is no sign whatever of that.


Well, Mr Simpson, you must be the dumbest reporter in Iraq because, somehow, you missed this:

Local Government Elections in Iraq from The Command Post

The poll was the latest in a series which this overwhelmingly Shia province has held in the past six weeks, and the results have been surprising. Seventeen towns have voted, and in almost every case secular independents and representatives of non-religious parties did better than the Islamists.

This is the kind of crap the British people are fed all day, everyday. The world is at war with terrorists and we should all unite to defeat the greatest threat we have ever had. But no, due to small minded, dimwits and has been reporters working for despicable organizations like the SCBBC, we squabble amongst ourselves while the terrorist kill more innocent people.

Enough BBC! Stop your lying, spinning and deceitful reporting and fire John Simpson! Throw him out with Gilligan and the rest.
