Iraq Government In Emergency Session As Battles Rage

Democracy Now reports that it is US troops that have instigated the fighting against the Sadr Army. This offensive was started by the US. The question is why. The answer is they want to blame the fighting on interference from Iran to give themselves cover for launching an attack on Iran.

Bush is desperately trying to make himself relevant in the election process. He wants to start yet another war in order to make national security the overriding issue in the election.

Iraqi kids who were in Middle School when the war started are now young men and women who would have entered college. One can only imagine what effect this war has had on them, especially since many of them have had their family members killed or injured or arrested and tortured, and millions rendered homeless.

If there is a better way to make anti-American terrorists, I don't know what that is.

Americans can be certain of one thing: our cimes against Iraqis will not go unpunished. Tortured and humiliated people will not just forget and forgive. There will be more 9/11s. And it is our children who will most likely pay the price for the crimes of Bush and Cheney, and not just with money that we are borrowing to wage this war, but with their lives.

You mean the Iraqi government didn't take Bush's advice and go on vacation?

"So?"

BAGHDAD- U.S. warplanes carried out at least two airstrikes overnight in Basra for the first time since clashes between Shiite militias and Iraqi security forces erupted in the southern oil port this week, a British official said Friday.

"Thank you all very much. Admiral Kelly, Captain Card, officers and sailors of the USS Abraham Lincoln, my fellow Americans: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. (Applause.) And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country." - George W. Bush, May 2, 2003

Please stop being Big Brother Huff Po!

When it's all said and done, we will know that the Iraq war is just like the Vietnam war...all about WAR PROFITEERING. That and OIL. Remember the secret Dick Cheney energy meetings in early 2001. These meetings were BEFORE 9/11. Present at the meetings were "Kenny Boy" Lay, the biggest contributor to the Bu$h/Cheney campaign in 2000 and also the person that ruined Enron and thousands of stockholder's lives. Why? Because of the Bu$h modus operandi...GREED. Also present were all the heads of big oil. A number of things were discussed, but there were maps of the Iraqi oil fields. Why? Because when it's all said and done, most of that oil will be controlled by Exxon and the like.

In terms of war profiteering, just look at the profits that Blackwater, Halliburton, the Carlyle Group, General Dynamics, Raytheon, Bechtel and the other defense contractors are making. To know the future, you have to know the past. Just remember the history of the Bu$hes...

Helllooooo.....

Basra = Domestic Gas Prices.

"In a speech Thursday, Mr. Bush expressed confidence that the violence and disruptions will be only temporary. He cast the Basra offensive as a battle to overcome lawlessness.

He framed the broader fight for Iraq in global economic terms, warning that defeat for the U.S. and its allies "would endanger Iraq's oil resources and could serve as a severe disruption to the world's economy.""

Oh my god........I finally see the light! The surge IS WORKING!

For anyone who has any serious interest in our Iraq "adventure" the Frontline 4-hour event, "Bush"s War" should be required viewing. Although the two part series covers much of the same ground as CobraII,
Fiasco, Assassin"s Gate, Armed Madhouse, and dozens of other publications, when presented together, the sheer magnitude of the hubris and idiocy of this administration can still shock and awe.
Of all the issues brought up by the series, perhaps this is the most striking; On the evening of 9-11, while the towers were still smoking, Rumsfeld and Cheney were pushing to include Saddam Hussein into the American response. Where others were mourning the loss of thousands of American lives, these two saw only opportunity to pursue their own agendas.

There should be a special place in Hell for the architects of this war.
The fact that such a large segment of our population is unaware of the well documented underlying currents in this conflict and can go on parroting the White House line, is testament not only to their own stubborn ignorance but the failure of Main Stream Media to actually REPORT the news.

Bush will never withdraw any troops. He'd leave them on their own to fend for themselves before he'd withdraw from Iraq.
