RET79 a ddywedodd:Dyma beth ddarllenais i, sori mae o yn y saesneg:
Just had an interesting e-mail from one of mates in the forces.
He claims that the real reason Iraq was invaded was to create 'a honeypot' ie. somewhere to lure al-queda and other assorted Muslim extremists with a penchant for AK-47's and explosives, concentrate them in one area and finish them off as half the US military will be abroad with very braod terms of engagement. Strangely enough, all the Sunni nutters seem to be in one place now, with the US mowing them down and all the Shia nutters seem to be in one place, with the US mowing them down.
The al-queda lot who escaped Sudan went to hide in various places on the Arabian peninsular - mainly Yemen. To get them out of the wordwork the Americans had to create a 'causes belli' for them to all go to one area. Iraq was ideal.
Iraq was an ideal target as Saddam had no friends. The WMD theory is that Saddam THOUGHT he had them, but everyone else knew that really he didn't - as Iraqi scientists were making things up to get extra funds to avoid the dole queue. The invasion of Iraq IS LEGAL and is covered by the terms of the ceasefire of the last Gulf War - which Saddam broke something like 127 times. Also Saddam, being a bit of a muderous fruitcake would hardly receive much sympathy for the continuation of his regime.
The policy seems to be working, with al-queda down about 75% in size since 9/11. That's why Bin Laden is now offering truces.
This theory seems to make more sense than anything else I've heard.
'Dwi'n cymryd dy fod am i mi ymateb i hyn o ddifri. Os ti yn tynnu fy nghoes a minnau'n brathu'r abwyd cei ddweud 'ha ha'.
I thesis dy gyfaill Americanaidd fod yn wir, mae'n rhaid i'r UDA a Phrydain fod yn fwy celwyddog a sinicaidd nag y byddwn i neu unrhyw un arall bron yn honni. Nid rhyfel i gael gwared o WMDs, nac i sicrhau cyflenwadau olew, nac i ddod a democratiaeth a hawliau dynol i Irac fyddai hi wedyn ond ymgais bwriadol i droi'r wlad yn rhyw fath o 'shooting gallery' enfawr. Felly pan mae Blair / Bush yn dweud wrth bobl Irac 'Rydym am ymladd y rhyfel yma er mwyn sicrhau eich hawliau sifil', beth maent yn ei olygu yw 'Rydym am eich gosod chi i gyd yng nghanol crossfire'. Felly pob tro mae bom rhyw nytar yn chwythu rhyw blant i fyny, America a Phrydain sydd wedi rhoi gwahoddiad i'r nytar ddod draw efo'i fom.
Mae'n rhyfeddol i mi nad wyt ti na dy rith gyfaill yn ystyried hyn rhyw ychydig bach yn amhrhiodol. Efallai bod hyn yn dweud tipyn go lew wrthym am foesoldeb rhai o gefnogwyr y rhyfel.
Ar ben hyn mae llond B52 o broblemau ymarferol. Soniaf am rai o'r rhain pan y caf ddau funud.
