LIES and Death; Impeach

I suppose this is the desired effect, but my head is spinning from the constantly reversing positions of the warmongers. This morning on CSpan Assistant Secretary of Defense Brinkley was declaring that we can't leave Irag until it's stable. Which means that when we destabilized it by making war against it, we made it into the very thing that we can't have it being - destabilized.

The reason we went to war with Iraq was to make it what? Free, that was number One. It's still not free, we're there and doing a rotten job running the place. Number two; It was to make it into a democracy!, until that didn't work out the way we want it. It was to make a constitutional government? the constitution they have says that each region is free to institute its own chosen form of government which outranks the central government. By the way, that's 'unstable'.

Now the surge is supposed to be what we're relying on to make the country stable. But it's not working, and not just because our soldiers are being used as a shooting gallery.

The neighborhood outposts that the U.S. military launched with great fanfare early this year were supposed to put more American patrols on the streets of Baghdad and make residents feel safer. But some soldiers stationed at the posts and Iraqis who live nearby say they are doing the opposite.

The outposts, along with U.S.-Iraqi security stations, form a cornerstone of the current Iraq strategy. Following a classic counterinsurgency tenet, military planners are trying to take U.S. forces out of their distant, sprawling military bases and into the day-to-day lives of Iraqis.

Although senior U.S. commanders and midlevel officers say they believe the bases are starting to work, many soldiers stationed at the outposts are doubtful, saying that the burden of protecting the bases means they spend less time on the streets.

"They say we are spending more time 'in sector,' which we are doing – we live here," said Spc. Tyrone Richardson, 24, a member of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry, which operates in the east Baghdad neighborhood of Ubaidi. "But we aren't spending the time patrolling."

Iraqis who live nearby say they feel less safe now, because many of the bases have become magnets for rocket and mortar attacks. When attacks miss the troops, they often hit Iraqi civilians.


We're sending our troops out into the streets to defend the outposts they're setting up in those streets, and our troops are dying. The war criminals are hiding inside the White House, defending their position from the public. It's so similar to their own war, and it's so Nixonian. And the representatives of the war criminals are telling us it's too late to go back and accuse them of getting it wrong now, we have to work with the situation we've got. Then they tell us that 9/11 defines everything - so I guess 9/11's not part of the past, according to the cabal.

And now we're supposed to be expecting a terrorist attack in response to the surge, which was .... to make us secure.

There is only one answer to all this gibberish. End the Lies, declare The End if you can't say 'lost'. Deaths are not the answer, lies are not the answer. If the cretin in chief can't serve the country, and won't leave, we need to impeach him.

Let the Iraqis go back to minding their own business, which only they can do, and us to minding ours, which is to clean out the rubbish in high offices in this country.
Come to think of it, that's pretty much what a lot of countries, need to do, too. Putin, Musharaff, Al Bashir, Ahmadinejad, Kabila, .... not our job. This country's presidency and executive branch needs cleaning out. If they won't enforce the laws, which is their sworn duty, it's time to impeach.

Actually, and I know that you know this, Democracy wasn't the first reason to invade Iraq. The first reason was to prevent Hussein's use of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction against the United States.

It was only after that proved to be a complete and utter fraud that they turned to the second rationale, the notion of democracy. Which always sturck me as the height of hypocrisy, coming from these people who hate and despise the democracy we have in this country, to the point of ignoring all the laws they don't like, and stifling dissent as much as is humanly possible. How can you promote democracy if you don't have the first understanding of what it is?

I hate these people. Time for my weekly letter to my representative, urging him to impeach.
