Still Screwing Iraq And America

Not
only did Bush succeed in putting his puppets back into the governance
of Iraq, he also stabbed Brahimi and the UN in the backall to
the detriment of Iraq. Allawi is nothing but a Bush agent. Brahimi put
it clearly when he said, Bremer is the dictator of Iraq. He has
the money. He has the signature. As a diplomat, it was the strongest
possible language he could use without being fired from the UN. Even
Kofi Annan has been unhappy with Bushs behavior, but he must also
be aware that the U.S. has such influence at the UN they could undermine
him just as they did Butros Ghali Ghali when he tried to help make the
UN more independent of Bush and America.
This new mess in
Iraq will get worse and worse; killings will increase, and bloodshed
will spread throughout the land because of Bushs doing. Thus,
the guilt of the deaths in Iraq are on Bushs head. Many in the
international community feel he should be tried for war crimes when
he leaves office; well see if this happens or if he just goes
back to his ranch in Crawford and continues making his absurd
pronouncements matters about which he knows little.
This morning, many
in the Iraqi security force in Fallujah were attacked for the first
time since General Latif was put in charge, with Americans withdrawing.
But few know this attack occurred because the Americans told the Iraqis
they were going to come in with them and do a joint patrol. This patrol
was a violation of the cease fire in Fallujah, and since things were
peaceful, the Americans were not to come in again. But, as usual, America
cannot allow peace to prevail in Iraqso they once again upset
the apple carton purpose. More devilment. American rhetoric is
always of peace, but American actions are always for war and chaos in
Iraq.
Also, just outside
of Fallujah, which helped cause the unrest, American troops attacked
some people in their homes, when the people resisted their brutal search
methods. This led to the killing of over a dozen Iraqis, many of them
women and children. No one in the US media or the US government ever
wonders what type of threat women and children are because our troops
kill so many of them. Have you ever wondered about this yourself? If
so, why not ask your congressperson to question the military about this.
Or are you and they willing to just keep calling this by the euphemism
of collateral damage? Think about how far US morality has
slipped since Clinton and GW Bush.
America is now thinking
of sending troops back into Fallujah, now that many of the insurgent
fighters have been disarmed. But they may be making a big mistake because
many of the Iraqi security force may turn on the Americans, because
many of them are Sunni Baathists who live in, or have relatives in,
Fallujah. But, as usual, the American military is being led by Bush
and Rumsfeld who are fools, and military leaders in Iraq such as Kimmit,
Abizaid and others who are foolsor devils who want to keep the
Iraqi pot boiling. Either way, it will not be good for Iraqis or for
American troops who will be killed or maimed in the process. Add to
this, that the Iraqi and the American economies will continue to suffer
major losses and further instability. America has already been warned
by the IMF about the instability of the dollar and the Iraqi currencybut
Bush just ignores these warnings as if they dont matter. In time,
America will realize that Bush has taken them further down the path
of debt, first started by Ronald Reagan; but, this time, it may not
be reversible according to some prominent Nobel Prize wining economists.
Dr. Brahimi had
asked that none of the Iraqi Governing Council be Prime Minister or
President, but Bush made sure he was ignored. Ayatollah Sistani has
given tentative approval, but only with great reservations, to this
new interim government. But, if the truth be known, Sistani
is disappointed in the Bush influence, the keeping of US troops in control,
and most of the Iraqis do not support this new Bush government. France
should have never given in on the UN resolution, even with the changes
Bush/Blair put into it. But, the deed is done, now more hell will reign
in Iraq. More people will die.
More people will
be maimed. More people will go poor in Iraq and in America because of
the war in Iraq. But, this war in Iraq will never end until America
leaves, either by force or voluntarily just as they had to leave Viet
Nam.
Americas standing
in the Arab and Muslim world will continue to be further tarnished;
trust in the US going down the drain at an alarming rate. It is hard
to see how this can be repaired because of the actions by the US in
Najaf, Karbala and Kufa, as well as in Fallujah, Mosul and Baghdad.
Add to this that Kerry has not given an alternative policy for Iraqso
even if he wins, things may not get any better unless he awakens from
his stupor that has cloaked him from the Democratic Leadership Committee
or the Democratic National Committee and the Zionists who surround him.
This brings us to
the center of the problem that helped to cause Iraq in the first place.
Zionist influence
in American politics will continue to hinder this nation unless this
yoke of barbarity and total support for the immoral behavior of Israel
toward the Palestinians is thrown off. But that is not likely, because
both parties are heavily influenced by Zionists in the government and
moneyed people from without, even from Israel itself that sends money
through certain of its political action committees like AIPAC, the ADL
and others. I dont see much hope for our nation, America, unless
we get our act together and regain some moral stature through improved
behavior in the world.
At this time, even
though Bush was able to get agreement at the UN on his resolution on
Iraq, he has taken our nation down the road to ruin as a world leader
that could be turned to for honesty, truth, ethics, morality and democracy.
We are nothing but a neo-colonial power that will have its time, but
like the rest of the colonialists, it will break our economy, break
our moral will and will ultimately ruin what is left of our democracy
in America (and that is going fast; note that Attorney General Ashcroft
has refused to allow the senate, even in classified hearings, to turn
over memos between the Justice Department and President Bush, as of
yesterday when responding to Senator Feinstein and others on the Senate
Judiciary Committee!) Our very fabric of government is being ripped
to shreds by these neo-cons and their minions who are trying to destroy
the balances of power within our government in order to give all power
to the president.
Thus, it is not
only Iraq that is going down, so too is our country, at an alarming
and terrible rate.
