The White House is finally beginning to admit the truth. Bush has no intention of withdrawing all our troops from Iraq. Even if by some miracle, we were able to quell the civil war in Iraq, the Bush-Cheney gang would leave a large contingent of U.S. troops in the country.
Tony Snow compared this to the U.S. troops that have been in South Korea for over 50 years. Snow said that even after Iraqis are able to handle their own security, U.S. troops will remain in the country to deter threats and handle potential crises.
But this comparison to South Korea is rather disingenuous. South Korea has a hostile and well-trained army just north of its border that has already invaded it once. There is no such threat to Iraq.
The truth is that we would be leaving our troops in Iraq to protect the commercial interests of the big oil companies. The two situations are not analogous in any way.
Personally, I don't believe the profits of big oil companies are worth the life of a single American soldier. It is unacceptable to withdraw only a portion of our troops from Iraq. We must demand that Bush withdraw ALL of our troops from Iraq and do it now.
It is time for the Democrats to grow some balls and do what the American people elected them to do -- get all our troops out of Iraq!

ReplyDeleteWhat about Iran, with the most powerful military in the Middle East (according to General John Abizaid), an emerging nuclear weapons program, a long-standing
feud with Iraq going all the way back to beginning of recorded history (i.e. Mesopotamia and Persia), manifesting itself most recently in the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988), in which an estimated 500,000+ Iranians and 375,000+ Iraqis were killed or wounded and weapons of mass destruction (i.e. chemical weapons) were used?
Iran, as a Shiite theocracy, also has a vested interest in establishing a client state in Iraq, which is likewise majority Shia. Sunni Muslim countries, such as Syria and Saudi Arabia, could be drawn into such a conflict to protect the Sunni minority.
From an economic standpoint, Iran would love to get its hands on Iraq's oil reserves to bolster its own sagging economy. Last (and certainly not least), a war with Iraq might offer just the kind of foreign adventurism needed to distract the large percentage of younger Iranians who are increasingly pro-West and anti-Islamic revolution.
You conveniently forget that in their recent war, Iran did not attack Iraq. Iraq attacked Iran at our urging and with our support. You cannot use a war that we asked Saddam to wage, to claim as proof Iraq (the aggressor) is in danger.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Iran would like for Iraq to be ruled by Shiites because then Iraq would not threaten Iran anymore.
Are you saying that Iran will cease to be a threat to Iraq's sovereignty as soon as we pull out?
ReplyDeleteI don't believe they're a threat to them now or then.
