Occupation and Its Vehicles: I saw that under Israeli occupation in South Lebanon. When occupation arrives to a land, it has to create its puppets and vehicles. I noticed that on the pro-Saudi/pro-US occupation TV "news" station, Al-Arabiyya TV, there is a very large supply of unending commercials and announcements by a group that calls itself Future Iraq Assembly. I got more curious as I calculated that this unheard of group must have a lot of money on its hands. I suspected that my US tax payers' dollars are paying for those ads, and my suspicions only increased when I visited the site. Take a look. I wanted to find even one name of one person behind it, and could not. And notice that you would not know from the site that Iraq is under occupation. Judge for yourselves.
