Will the next phase of war in Iraq will be to destroy the food supply?
The corporate giant Monsanto, has patented their genetically engineered seeds. The safety of GMOs were never tested adequately for it's effects on humans or the eco-system. As a result, more and more crops are GMOs, more ROUND UP must be used, the DNA of our food has been modified and is causing allergies, resistance to antibiotics, liver damage, digestive system health issues such as cancer of the stomach and colon and more. The taste and nutritional value of our food has also been degregated. And organisms are dying - good bacteria, monarch butterflies, and the bees that are drawn to the poison pollen. After crops are sprayed with ROUND UP, cows and chickens will become ill and die if they eat the GMO crops and people get very ill.
Not to mention the financial devastation from patents preventing them from reusing seeds & the need for huge amounts of ROUND UP.
Is this part of "mission accomplished"?
For those of you who think this is some joke, or I've been smoking.... - please read my links on GE and GMOs.

http://www.geo-pie.cornell.edu/crops/eating.html
and a pretty thorough explanation

Note that the European nations and Canada have banned GEs.
Maine is rejecting
Let me add a few more comments:
Genetically modified foods ARE NOT SAFE. They are not safe for us Americans, and they are not safe for the world! We unleashed this problem and we should STOP pushing this poison on the world!
The "sales pitch" of GE foods are not true. Foods have less nutrients, crops don't use LESS pesticides, they end up needed more powerful ones!!
We know that these DNA altered crops and their pollen is modifying the eco-systems! What will we do when bees don't exist? for example.
Once these crops mingle with normal seeds as is happening today, there will be no more "normal" crops with DNA that nature intended.
The fact that a large corporation can own the patent on the seeds of the world's food supply is pretty scary to me! Farmers cannot re-use seeds. Each year they MUST buy their seeds from Monsanto. This will put small farmers out of business but Monsanto will continue to score stock value increases off the charts.
Here's some more facts cowboys:

and then there's Monsanto's hormones... and why did FOX pull the reporters documentary?

from a Missouri farmer:
AND....
Monsanto tries to keep organic dairy farmers from labeling their milk as "hormone free"...

The Vietnam conflict grew to become the way it did while the VC found out that there replaced right into a divide between the human beings and started waiting us out. After the failure of the Tet offensive, the VC have been pondering a resign, yet hung on whilst watching the U. S. inner strife over the conflict. ultimately, investment replaced into pulled on our area and investment greater on their area (China). And as we began to tug lower back and then out, the VC slaughtered the remainder of south Vietnam. that is exciting to realize, hind sight is 20/20, that if we did no longer combat between ourselves, the VC might have cashed it in and we could have had the aptitude to stabilized Vietnam. at present, we are troubled by comparable subject concerns, regionally. Too many human beings regionally attempting to assert an analogous element. i desire to God we don't repeat that mistake lower back. because it stands, our enemy would not have the backing of a China, yet God forbid that the enemy sees a inner breakdown between the human beings's help for the troops and action we've taken and then does get a backing from say an Iran or comparable. enable's no longer turn it into Vietnam. all of us be conscious of extra efficient.

Loosen the tinfoil hat, Sparky. It's cuttin' off the blood flow to your brain.
Did you hear the latest rumor that camel spiders are actually a result of a grand conspiracy that was started 500 years ago by President Bush's great great great great grandfather's plumber's brother's friend's cousin? Yeah, apparently this fellow really had it out for camels.
My theory's got just as much merit as the theory you've posted here, and is backed up by about as many hard facts.

That article is the biggest load of slanted, alarmist, crap I've read in a long time.
And where did you get all this crap about Round Up being used? It's not mentioned anywhere and has nothing to do with anything - just pulling crap out of the air for the hell of it?
And I've got news for you: all the crap about GMOs in that article: BS. That's an alarmist, unlikely, unfounded assumption. The whole article is alarmist assumption... It starts out with a CPA directive regarding assisting the Iraqi farmers restore their production in the wake of UN sanctions - and turns in to some sort of huge global conspiracy regarding cancer, biodiversity, and somehow, of all things, ROUND UP. Not based in any fact mind you - just unlikely assumption and political slant. But it sure sounds scary.
Thanks for wasting my time.

Nope no one going to plan to destroy Iraqs food chain or their agriculture.
Just because you found another USA hating site that claimed that the USA is an evil umpire you had to have another taste of the kool-aid.
lets see what they claim.....
While the Iraqi people are struggling to end the U.S. military Occupation and its associated violence
This despite the criminal sanctions -- maintained by the U.S. and Britain
U.S.-Britain used the criminal sanctions to destroy what was left of Iraq and kill its children
I think 3 examples of what you want to believe is more than enough. Its a load of bull. I truly hope that you are not an American, That would cheapen my service

I have the solution. Someone should file a collective lawsuit against these people, like they have done with the tobacco companies. When lawyers smell the money they'll do the rest of the work for us all.

The war in Iraq will eventually ruin everything...let alone the food supply.
