TODAY'S IRAQ LIKE THE DAYS OF SADDAM, FORMER PM ASSERTS

A former Iraqi prime minister has painted a picture of a lawless country where human rights abuses - some perpetuated by government or police officials - now are as bad as they were under deposed dictator Saddam Hussein.

Iraq War Post

Bush's interest in Iraq may be very genuine, however there are real people fighting there, real people who want to go home because they are tired, hot and have families that miss and love them. In addition to that briefly described emotional point, it takes a lot of money, I mean a lot of money in order to fund a war, something that may be needed to fund other projects in the US. Austria and another country is already pulling out and the US is going to find being there become more and more difficult, in fact this could hurt the Republicans chance in the next elections. Iraq, I believe will always be in torment for many years to come no matter what is done (pull out or stay).

Iraq's realities shadow Bush's optimistic victory strategy

Perhaps by his nature, President Bush can't help but be a cheerleader. Perhaps given the nature of his audience Wednesday - midshipmen at the Naval Academy training for war - a resolutely upbeat description of the situation in Iraq was appropriate. But if the president's goal in kicking off a series of speeches detailing his Iraq policy was to rebuild support for the war, he missed his moment.

I fail to see what Bush is getting out of lying to people about the situation in Iraq. Why can't he just be honest and admit that Iraq is in trouble.

By trying to paint a rosy, optimistic picture he is destroying the Administration's credibility, which surely will hurt the Republicans at the next election.

Iraq War Post

The Bush Administration used 9/11 as an excuse to go into Iraq. Without that consent, they could never fight their little war over oil. This war in my opinion will exist for years to come, only for the greed of the people we put in office.

Of course they used 9/11, all their other excuses were shot down so why not manipulate your constituents' emotions to justify war.

I found this interesting article by Robert Fisk, the Middle East correspondent who works for UK's Independet newspaper.

It's about the US Administrations targetting the media during the Iraq war.

No wonder Al-Jazeera was a target - by Robert Fisk

It's an interesting read, also very disturbing. For those who don't know, Mr Fisk is widely regarded at the leading foreign correspondent in the Middle East if not the world.

He has won all the major international journalism awards and is well known for his access to people at ground level, including notorious terrorists like Bin Laden.

The US Democratic Party is eating itself up over the war in Iraq.

Democrats assail one of their own for backing the war.

Now, remember, ALL of the Democratic leadership (including Pelosi and Reid, as well as John Kerry and Edward Kennedy) voted for the US to take action against Iraq, and they had all made public statements in the 1990s and early 2000s that Iraq was an imminent threat and that much of his threat was based on his ownership and use of weapons of mass destruction.

Now, while we are embroiled in Iraq, but making what appears to be real progress, they are calling for immediate withdrawal (conceding defeat). When one of their bright stars disagrees with them, they want to destroy him.

Interesting.

The current iraqi people reminds me of the children of Isreal when the were in Egypt after 400 years of slavery. they knew not how to think or be independent and free. so it will take abit to teach them . and then instead of being a power to fight aginst they will be apower to be a good ali in that part of the world.
