I cannot possibly say that we should stay any longer. An exit strategy should have been in place
years ago! |

McCain wasn't in the war. He was in the Vietnam war, but only for around 20 hours or so, before
being shot down and then opting to become an enemy propagandist.
The "We're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" argument is surely the
most ludicrous of all. It's the one that makes me really despair of Americans when I see them taking
it seriously. And to think they used that one back in Vietnam too, and it still works! Even after it
was later proven false when communists took over Vietnam, and no dominoes fell across the world, the
good old domino theory manages to survive in modified form.
The success of the surge is an illusion, bought by bribing Sunnis and making secret deals with
Moqtada Al-Sadr. Take those two things away and things are just the same.
You should leave Iraq because you have no right to be there. You are killing innocent people for no
reason on a daily basis. You claim you are defending democracy yet opinion poll after opinion poll
shows a majority of Iraqis want you to leave.
The soldiers who died in the war didn't die for nothing. They died to help George W. Bush get
re-elected. And, in that respect, their mission was accomplished, with a little help from some
vote-rigging at home. |

Then sign up instead of hiding like a coward behind your computer. Those who like the occupation
should sign up or shut up.
The US is not in Iraq or Afghanistan to promote democracy, as if the US corporations and their
puppet politicians believe in it. The US is there to steal and control oil, and to prevent other
nations - India, China, Russia, the European Union - from having any control of it. Trying to
dominate the world's energy resources is the method behind US attempts to dominate the world.
Time and again the rabidly religious fascists cry about "world government dictatorship" without
noticing that it's the US, not the UN. Those who say otherwise are ignorant, wilfully or through
poor education, of the words of Henry Wallace and Dwight Eisenhower.

When you hear the terms, "American hegemony" and "Project For A New American Century", keep another
pair of terms in mind:
"Reich Of A Thousand Years"
"New World Order"

The group is "officially" gone, but it idiotic ideology remains in the Bush whitehouse and
McCainchurian election campaign. |
