Title: Colonizing Iraq? Post by: Ayinde on April 26, 2004, 09:21:52 AM by Paul Craig Roberts
Will President Bush share with the American people the reason he is planning a long-term American military occupation of Iraq? You ask, "Isn't the occupation scheduled to end on June 30 when we hand rule over to a provisional government? " Not on your life! On April 23 General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters that the US occupation of Iraq will last a very long time: "Decades is probably not unreasonable," said General Myers. With 4,600 dead and wounded American soldiers as of April 24 (the first year of the occupation), and with Republican Senator John McCain calling for President Bush to send more divisions to Iraq, shouldn't Bush first tell us why US troops will be occupying Iraq for decades? Indeed, isn't it time for President Bush to tell us the real reason he ordered the Iraq invasion in the first place? http://www.lewrockwell.com/roberts/roberts40.html Title: Re: Colonizing Iraq?
