to some organization (or organizations) that still have some credibility in the Middle East as soon as possible. The motives of this crowd of liars and thugs have been so transparent (although somehow they don't think so) that nothing we do, no matter how hard we try, will work. One of the biggest mistakes, after the invasion of course, was to try to install the felon Chalabi as king. That action alone was enough to bring out the resistance in all the different factions in Iraq. It was an open declaration that we wanted total and complete, never-ending control of their country.
The people of Iraq see their only asset, the oil fields, being hi-jacked. They see all the work of reconstruction going to American cronies of this administration. They see the money that is flying out of the U.S. Treasury for the reconstruction going directly into Halliburton and Bectel coffers and they understand that the people of Iraq will not benefit one bit from this money. They are just being used as a "front" to launder it from the Treasury to Halliburton and friends. And they understand that this is some kind of crackpot crusade being pushed by idiots who's idea of God included the concept that you are justified in killing thousands of innocent people in order to bring them "liberty, freedom, and the true faith". This whole escapade will go down in history as being one of the most disgusting, immoral, and illegitimate attempted "coups" ever perpetrated in recorded history.
We have ushered in a new Dark Age. One where morality and compassion have been displaced by corporate greed and a bizarre theology based on some warped and perverted Christian "principal". Where it is okay to lie about the reasons for going to war, where any means of trying to avoid war are purposely ignored, and where we have an administration who are so oblivious to reality that their only recourse is to flounder from one plan to another with no feasible plan on how to not only get the Americans out of the country, while ensuring stability after we leave. I don't know if even the United Nations could go into Iraq and save the situation. We have Shiite against Sunni against Kurd against whomever. This is a lose-lose proposition for everyone.
