the Senate Dems Iraq policies: a total f**king disgrace

[welshTerrier2]

everyone is so candidate focused on DU ... well, let me say that this a directed at every Democrat who has not called for the immediate withdrawal from Iraq ... every one of them is a disgrace ...

get this straight: everyday we remain in Iraq enables bush and his corporate, Big Oil friends to further their agenda more easily ... stop talking to me about staying a bit longer to accomplish anything but HELPING BUSH ... got that? got it good and clear???

to be clear, "immediate withdrawal" here is being used to mean as quickly as we can get out while protecting the safety of our troops ... period ...

i couldn't be more disgusted with those offering "out in a year" crap or "we can't give you a date" crap ... these people are doing nothing but furthering bush's agenda ... i am done with all these bogus candidates ... we need to replace each and every one of them with candidates who will tell us the truth ...

and John Kerry, who earlier called for "immediate withdrawal" by May 22 if the Iraqis didn't form an "effective unity government" has now pushed the date first to 12/31/06 and then AGAIN back to 7/1/07, is clearly not telling us the truth ... does he really want to argue that Iraq has an effective unity government????? do you?????

what we need are Democrats who are not afraid to tell the American people the only reason bush is in Iraq ... what we need are Democrats who will say that the Iraqi government is a US puppet and that we should not allow the bush administration to exploit another country that way ... oh, but nooooo ... that would be "lefty extremism" ... sorry, but it would also be the truth !!!

if you want to defend any particular candidate, you better read this first ... if you want to argue with what the following article says isn't the truth, make your case ... otherwise, tell your "i won't tell Americans the truth" candidate he should be replaced by a Democrat who will ...

oh, and, of course, if your candidate's position is just a bunch of ineffective political bullshit, just acknowledge it ... it's time for us to be a party that tells the truth ... if we're fighting to regain political power, we should do it by leading the country by telling the people the truth ... idiotic one year plans or "we can't just leave" plans fail to accept the damage that bush has done and plans to continue to do to Iraq ... the only way to stop him is to rally the American people, after we tell them the truth, to demand we get the hell out of Iraq ... not in one year, not when "things stabilize", not when "enough Iraqis are trained" - it's all bullshit!!! stop supporting candidates who won't tell us the truth ...

here's someone who will tell the truth ... as always, i encourage you to read Dahr Jamail's entire article ... there's way too much here to post it all on DU ... here are a few excerpts:

It is amazing to witness that people, even many within the anti-war movement in the US, seem willing to believe anything presented by Maliki, including this "plan." A man who was inserted into his position after Jack Straw and Condoleezza Rice visited Baghdad in order to brush Jaafari, the prime minister chosen by the supposedly-elected Iraqi parliament, aside. Do we need any clearer evidence of who pulls the strings of Maliki? <skip>

In addition, the Iraqi government's "army," composed of various sectarian and/or ethnic groups, rather than being an effective, cohesive military, is nothing more than a haphazard collage of militias and death squads loyal only to their own various militia or religious leaders. <skip>

Juhasz added that if there isn't massive change in Iraq soon, all of the US imposed economic contracts (25-40 year contracts), will effectively eviscerate what is left of the demolished Iraqi economy.

In two months, laws will be passed by the puppet government, and six months after this the contracts of the Western companies, (read "Big Oil") will be implemented.

"Production Sharing Agreements (PSA's) are what the Bush administration and the corporations they serve want," Juhasz told me, "This enables the US oil companies to have control and access to oil that they didn't have access to before the war. And as we all know, that is what this has been about all along."

She added that the permanent military bases in Iraq are to be used for providing security for the oil companies. When one looks at the tragic situation on the ground in Iraq today, it is and always has been clear that the objective of the US military in Iraq has never had anything to do with providing security to the Iraqi people. <skip>
