WE CANNOT CONQUER IRAQ
The missing word in Bush's inaugural speech was IRAQ.
And why was that word missing ?
Because our illegal occupation of Iraq is a failure with over 1400 Americans killed, over 10,000 wounded, over 20,000 hospitalized and an American public becoming more sceptical of it's increasing human and financial costs.
Bush cannot emotionally deal with the F word and, indeed, asked Sec of State Powell to leave because he told Bush
that " We are losing the war in Iraq ".
Bush cannot answer the question why our soldiers are dying
in increasing numbers because the reason has nothing to do with Democracy.
We are dealing with massive denial here and Bush has now
replaced the fictitious menace of Iraq with the equally fictitious menace of an impending bankrupt Social Security system.
But let's get something straight about Iraq .
This election in Iraq is not about Democracy in action ~ this election is all about reproducing the US appointed Iraq Interim Government inorder to prolong the occupation and further incite sectarian and ethnic conflicts.
As long as there is strife there is a reason for U.S. troops
and the 14 to 17 military bases that are currently under
construction in Iraq.
We are in Iraq to stay ~ so stop wishful thinking. Only
impeachment or a change in Congressional leadership can stop the Cheney led neocons now.
It's really very Orwellian ~ remember Eternal War for
Never Accomplished Peace.
That's why we want the elections on the 30th ~ the reproduced Interim Government will claim legitimacy and cement into place Exec Order # 13303 ( giving full oil rights to major U.S. Oil companies ) as well as legitimizing Paul Bremer's blanket privitization decrees ~ which he enacted before he left Iraq .
It's a big sting folks and Bush wants to avert our attention
with his Social Security histronics or perhaps Iran ~ so we
won't watch this election too closely.
That's why our soldiers are dying .
The Iraqi's know full well the impossibility of holding free
and fair elections while under this brutal and illegal occupation by the U.S.
These Resistance fighters are freedom fighters to their
fellow Iraqi's and their numbers are growing every day.
WE CANNOT CONQUER IRAQ
You want an analogy to what we are doing in Iraq ?
How about this letter from William Pitt to the House of
Lords on November 18th, 1777.
It's entitled An English Plea For Peace With The American
Colonies ;
" My Lords, this ruinous and ignominious situation, where
we cannot act with success, nor suffer with honour, calls upon us to remonstrate in the strongest and loudest language of truth, to rescue the ear of Majesty from the delusions
which surround it. You cannot, I venture to say, you
CANNOT conquer America.
What is your present situation there? We do not know the
worst; but we know that in three campaigns we have done
nothing and suffered much. You may swell every expense,
and strain every effort, still more extravagantly; accumulate
every assistance you can beg or borrow; traffic and barter
with every pitiful German Prince, that sells and sends his
subjects to the shambles of a foreign country: your efforts
are forever vain and impotent-doubly so from this mercenary
aid on which you rely; for it irritates to an incurable resentment the minds of your enemies, to overrun them with the sordid sons of rapine and of plunder, devoting them and their possessions to the rapacity of hireling cruelty! If I were an American, as I am an Englishman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms! -
Never! Never! Never! "
And the Iraqi's will not lay down their arms for that very
same reason.
Iraq will be George Bush's waterloo and he will drag all of us with him into this black hole of deceit, hubris, humiliation and heartache.
