From the pages of CIF in The Guardian.
The article by a cretin called Neil Clark, has to be one of the worst I have read in a long time. The logic is that any Iraqi who helps the UK forces deserves to die.
I quote his own words:
- And in the meantime, let's do all we can to keep self-centred mercenaries who betrayed their fellow countrymen and women for financial gain out of Britain.
- If that means some of them may lose their lives, then the responsibility lies with those who planned and supported this wicked, deceitful and catastrophic war, and not those of us who tried all we could to stop it.
Now however the fight against US imperialism is best served by acquiescing in the murder of more Iraqis, thus allowing him a feeling of smug self satisfaction as he watches videos of their murders on Liveleak.
It is of no suprise that comments to that article are closed. As is often the case, the left say what they want and dislike the opposing viewpoint. Many of the replies who managed to get in lay into Neil Clark and tear him a new one.
Well done to those commentators. The best was the very last comment in the thread by
- There's little to be said that hasn't already been said. When Clark first started blogging here I just regarded him as naive fool, a Stalinist Colonel Blimp who longed for the bygone days of the Soviet Empire. It was amusing for a while but the joke really isn't funny more. He has no brains and he has no heart, please take him away.
Tim Ireland has put together a short video to go publicise the fate of the interpreters that we are about to leave behind in Iraq.
Best comment on a blog about this was this gem from the remittance man
To my mind more palatable effluvia has dripped from the superating orifices of a syphilitic whore than tumbled from the keyboard of one Neil Clark.
**Final comment on this, just under three hours after it was posted on The Guardians CIF, up comes an announcement from the Guardian's moderators:
"Our policy is to close threads after three days. Comments have now been closed on this entry."Such was the level of criticism being directed at Clark for his article from people of all political groups, and The Guardian than hid from the flack.
