This editorial basically bashes on America and the Iraq war, and how America is in huge trouble because of it, similar to Guantanamo bay. He/She says that the war was started all for a lie and the oedipal complex of an insecure president, and that the war's basis, were all lies, such as the weapons of mass destruction, saddam hussein's link to Al Qaeda and 9/11 (Which was a huge topic during the time following 9/11 because people were really freaked out), and much else. Not to mention the other acts of violence and terror they inflicted on Iraq to be punishable under international law.
I wasn't sure who the author was but i believe if was Dhuʻl-Qiʻdah (Copy pasted because i couldn't really write it), and tried to search for his credibility but couldn't find it. Though I wasn't sure i should do this article because of credibility, he/she does a good job of using facts and pathos to prove his argument.
The context is that US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has demanded that Iraq provide total immunity to the US troops staying on beyond the scheduled pullout later this year, even past Obama's promised withdrawal from the country. The editorial was written to bring light upon the situation that America is in, and shed light upon the seeming arrogance of the US. The author, whoever it may be, uses very strong words, such as audacity and temerity, as well as uses phrases found throughout the article such as, "Talk about adding insult to injury," and, "Is it any wonder then that most Arabs and Muslims believe that the US war in Iraq is spawned and driven by Israel and its friends in high places?" The author has huge control over the author by the pure amount of confidence that the writing emits. The style in which he/she wrote the article states facts and that the evidence is apparently very clear cut and dry evidence by using questions that state, 'isn't it blatantly obvious?' after an important piece of evidence. He has a clear use of logos through his use of information, and pathos through the rhetorical questions that he asks.
