The Iraq Tragedy

The attack into Iraq was swift and well done, but no plans were made for after sadistic Saddam was removed from power.

Without equipment, supplies and people landing to assist in helping the Iraqis immediately in starting the rebuilding of their country the Iraqis were instead left to sit around stewing in their misery which allowed the anti-America forces to gain unrestricted access throughout the country.  If there had been any intelligent planning on what to do after wresting control from Saddam’s forces then the people would have acted against those who wanted to come in and cause problems in their country instead of turning a blind eye to them.

President Bush and the UN argued over who would create the Iraqi government while they totally ignored the plight of the people.  That is not what liberators act like, or even what a smart conqueror would do.  How could they have not realized that they must address the plight of the Iraqis if they wanted to stabilize the country?  The first few days gave proof that the Iraqis first welcomed the US troops, but that advantage was lost when the US offered up nothing to improve their lives.

The same lack of insight in understanding, or maybe simply a lack of caring about, the plight of the people is causing the failure of the US today as well.  How can anyone honestly think that exporting the good paying jobs of the country’s people, without replacing them with equally valuable local employment, will somehow help the country?  And allowing businesses to do anything they please, like the financial institutions abusing mortgage lending practices that promote the failure of those mortgages, is further proof of incompetence in governing.

President Bush’s government is throwing money around like a madman and enacting policies that destroy the economic stability of the country’s masses, yet all his “experts” fail to see the coming fall.  The US needs a government that realizes that the people, the masses not the few extremely wealthy, are the country.  If the masses fail financially then the country fails too.

Very well put, Joseph the Poet! So true.

As for bubba, well you understand, Joseph, that all these problems, the war in Iraq, the economy tanking, the mortgage crisis, all started in just the last year since the midterms! Like, things were going just super-duper in Iraq until them Democrats took a 1 seat majority in the Senate, right? Geez, bubba, listen to something else on the radio beside Rush, okay, if you can figure out how to tune your radio.

Bush did accomplish HIS goal, after all - a huge military-industrial build-up with huge defense profits, all in the name of "fighting terror", a huge oil boom for his family's holdings, more oil profits from Iraq, and saving the rich and privileged of Iraq from the millions around them who hate them. That mission HAS been accomplished!

I think a comment Jay Leno made just last night applies here: Bush told the Iraqi leader they need to develop a democracy that truly represents all the people fairly, and the Iraqi leader replied to Bush: "You go first!"

Bubba - guess its time to start dispensing the zoloft, xanax and the other anti-depressants for them to take with their kool-aid.

You know, old sicko is going to be just overwhelmed in November after his communists go down to defeat. Perhaps a 1 way ticket to Cuba is in order. They heard that things are perfect down there.

here is the million dollar question. since all of the arab countries more or less stick together why did any of them not come to saddams rescue in the time of need? did they want him out also? the oil for food program in iraq was proven to be bogus with the head of the united nations son caught in the middle.

as for cuba being perfect go to miami and talk to the cuban exiles how perfect it is there while they are getting out of a raft on our beach.
