Commander Chimp: Terrorists Won't Rule Iraq's Future
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/bush

CAMP PENDLETON, Calif. - President Bush, appearing before cheering U.S. forces Tuesday, declared that terrorists won't be able to control Iraq's destiny because "free people will never choose their own enslavement."

(Editors note: Didn't the free Germans vote for Hitler in the 1930s?)

1. He also said something like
"A free nation is a peaceful nation."

I'm not sure I have it exactly right it isn't in the article but I heard it on the radio. And I thought to myself - "Well we kinda disprove that ourselves don't we."

2. Who is the terrorist?
I bet a significant amount of Iraqi people think it is the American conquorers, and I bet that a majority of the people in most of the countries in the world, most especially the Muslim countries think the same.

There is something ominous and scary about him speaking to troops who reportedly are cheering wildly. He gives his speech wearing a military type jacket to boot.

Oh if someone had only come up with postive irrefutable evidence that our brave, costume loving, adolescent, cowardly, little, delusional bully, deserted the ANG during wartime and pushed it until he was driven into the ground by an outraged country--and military! Just a fantasy.

Poll: Only 2% of Iraqis View the US as Liberators, 97% as Occupiers

http://www.independent-media.tv/item.cfm?fmedia_id=7752&fcategory_desc=Under%20Reported

Poll shows most Iraqis want US to go

A solid majority of Iraqis support an immediate pullout of U.S. troops even in the face of greater danger, and only one in three now believe that the U.S.-led occupation is doing more good than harm, according to a new USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll.

But hey, bushCartel don't give a flying you-know-what about what the Iraqis do & don't want.

5. BEFORE bush invasion; NONE. NOW? Well...
What percentage of Americans would view as targets a nation who FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER illegally invaded & occupied the USA, killing 1 million US citizens, bombing our cities & towns to rubble, torturing & raping and murdering our men, women & kids, setting up forced labor camps, stealing $600 billion of our resource money...

Rightwingnuts of course would just lick the boots of the occupiers. The rest of us would fight off the occupiers to the death. I'd say that leaves a lot of patriotic Iraqis who view us as targets.

Hopefully the Iraqi people will be less inclined to go for retaliation of those who DID kill & terrorize them than Americans did towards a nation who DID NOT kill & terrorize them.

Too bad most Americans don't know that under the Geneva Cons and international law, Iraqis can now LEGALLY ATTACK AMERICA.

7. That's why the Iraqis want the US OUT OF IRAQ
Coz they don't like being INVADED AND OCCUPIED.

How deeply ignorant of bush & his rightwignnuts to they think INASION & OCCUPATION are synonyms for FREEDOM and LIBERATION.

Funny how the rightwingnuts always shriek "JUST LEAVE America if you don't like (insert subject here)!!!" don't shriek the same to the Iraqis, who have ALWAYS BEEN FREE TO JUST LEAVE if they didn't like it in Iraq.

Noooo. The Iraqis we must INVADE AND OCCUPY and RAPE and TORTURE and MURDER and put into FORCED LABOR CAMPS and BOMB and DESTROY to LIBERATE them.
