Official: Abuse Troops May Face Charges
Here's the snip that got my attention:

_Abizaid predicted that the insurgency would grow even more violent after the transfer of limited sovereignty to an interim Iraqi government on June 30. "It's possible we might need more forces" than the approximately 135,000 there now, he said.

Sounds to me like Abizaid will ask for more troops from Bush before the election. It's only going to get worse before it gets better.

2. Have no doubt, my friends ...
the neocons intend this war to be a long lasting money making operation, financed with the blood of our soldiers, and benefiting the TRAITOROUS WAR-PROFITEERING CORPORATE SCUM !

Turnover, my ass. The neocons intend this to be a strictly US operation for many years. They are only putting on a show to dupe the masses that the Iraqis are "free."

3. Which is curiously like their plan to dupe Imperial Amerikan Subjects
into believing we are still free.

Which, for the most part we still are though NO NATION having undergone a Bloodless Coup and with a Joke of a Media no Free Press and Untustworthy Voting System can REALLY be "free"

Also, we will begin to actually FEEL what the Busheviks have done/are doing only after the LAST of the Checks and Balances have been dismantled.

Then the Busheviks, the "Nero and Caligula" generation of them, will come after us at their leisure, Hitler/Soviet-style.
