We need to get out of Iraq now, as fast as possible. The alternative is to begin World War III (or IV if you listen to idiot neocons). Shiites are murdering Sunnis. Sunnis are murdering Shiites. The Kurds are cleansing themselves of the Arabs that Hussein forced on them, and just waiting to declare independence. When they do so this will bring Turkey into the picture. Iran is already involved in Iraq. The Saudis are now said to be trying to develop nuclear capabilities. Syria and Lebanon are going to be dragged into the disaster in the Middle East. Israel remains the biggest single problem. Egypt is barely hanging on. The U.S. was supporting the Shiites but now are demanding they do as we say. The Sunnis have refused to cooperate with the existing "government" (chosen by the U.S.), and now the Shiites themselves have shut down the process of governing because of U.S. complicity in a Mosque attack that left a number of innocents dead (murdered). It is a fine mess, indeed.
I fear (actually I don't fear at all) the neocons are just going to have to give up their insane aspirations to empire, write off their multibillion dollar waste of money (although most of it is already safely in the hands of our Corporate masters) and also write off the deaths and injuries to thousands of our troops. Oops, I guess attacking Iraq for no reason other than greed was a bad idea. Well, you can't win 'em all. We're really sorry we were so abysmally ignorant about what we were doing and refused to listen to virtually the entire world that warned us not to do it. But what the hell, a few lives here and there, thousands of lives ruined, a Sovereign country destroyed, the respect of the entire world lost, a national debt that will quite likely never be paid off, at least for several generations, a Constitution junked, the rule of law subverted, an economic disaster, no end in sight, but we are "winning" in Iraq, "victory" is going to be ours, the "job" will be "done," on earth as it is in heaven (some of us will be lifted up there soon when the rapture comes). God, these are really marvelous times. Think we'll have to fight over all them virgins when we all get there?
I have never been a conspiracy buff. Although I was mildly skeptical of the lone Oswalt theory I was not concerned enough to worry about it. Similarly, I didn't get too concerned about Iran-Contra, the CIA being involved in drugs, the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers, or the death of Marilyn Monroe. Now, after 9/11 and the failure to capture Osama bin Laden, the mysterious collapse of the towers, the flight of the Saudis, and etc., etc., I now envisage a conspiracy so immense as to probably be untouchable as well as virtually inconceivable. I believe Sibel Edmonds caught a glimpse of this. That is why she has been silenced. What if Osama bin Laden is still a CIA "asset," sitting comfortably between the poppy fields of Afghanistan, the CIA, and the world drug market? I hate to think like this but what is one to do after five years of Bush/Cheney? I now put nothing past them.
