Egyptian media slam US policy in Iraq

Major Egyptian newspaper on Wednesday strongly criticized the US policy in Iraq on the eve of the US-led invasion on the Mideast and Arab country.
''Iraq is experiencing the worst stage of its modern history and is living under a brutal military occupation,''Al Ahram said in its editorial on Wednesday.
Five years ago, the United States launched the Iraqi war under the pretext of it disarmament and bringing freedom and democracy to Iraqi people, the influential Egyptian newspaper said.
However, Iraqis now not free as the United States claimed, they do not enjoy democracy and their daily life is full of bombing, torture and assassinations,Al Ahram said.
Citing a reporting issued by Amnesty International, the newspaper said every three or four Iraqis are deprived of drinking water, one third of the Iraqis depends on urgent aid to live and half of the population is unemploved.
Voicing its regret to the current station in Iraq, Al Ahram said this tragic reality would not change except the United States pulls its troops out of Iraq.
On Monday, US Vice President Dick Cheney said during his visit to Iraqs that the United States has made a ''successful endeaver'' in Iraq on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the US-led invasion that falls on 20 March.
