I am sure glad that victory in Iraq is right around the corner, for the Americans that is. You see, it would be pretty hard to justify all the deaths this week if victory wasn't coming soon.
Horse shit, of course.
The resistance to America in Iraq is only getting more determined. As it correctly realises, America is at the limit of her manpower rescources. Young Americans are not exactly in line at the recruiters these days because they think, correctly, that they will get six weeks' training and be off to Iraq. The draft is out of the question because the Elite does not want its children in a war. Thus, it is up to the lower classes to fight Bu$h's war of imperialism. With so many killed and almost 14,000 wounded (so far) in Iraq, I can see why the military is so hard pressed that it has had to relax standards to get more fodder for Haliburton.
I correctly predicted this is several posts. America's military is trained (was trained, anyway) for a hard hitting, mobile war. Now it is mired in what has become a policing action, one that saps valuable rescources from fighting the REAL war on terror ie GETTING BIN LADEN.
No matter, it will take America a long time to see reality. Always being right about everything makes changing direction rather diffucult.
BBC has a good take on the Iraq debacle here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east /4741989.stm" title="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east /4741989.stm" target="_blank"http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wo...
[b]"They want us to retreat. They will fail. They do not understand the character and the strength of the United States of America," the president said.[/b]
When the helocopters ared plucking Americans off the roof of the US Embassy in Iraq ten years from now, it will be called a "redeployment."
Also from BBC:
[b]I am from Ohio and was working in Iraq as a security guard for convoys bringing fuel from Kuwait to Iraq. It's a very dangerous job. All Westerners are viewed as part of occupation. As I realised this I became more and more eager to leave Iraq for home. I tell you honestly, we went there without even basic knowledge of local people. The truth is that the religious institutions and religious leaders of Iraq can provide a better help to its people than USA and its allies. We just need to give them some money and political support and they will do things much better than us. As long as the occupation is there, the Iraqi people will fight for freedom, as long as there is occupation there will be war![/b]
