[MuslimMatters.org] Obama To Continue Iraq Occupation | MuslimMatters.org: In short, contrary to all Obama’s high-blown rhetoric about pulling out of Iraq, Washington clearly intends it will remain a U.S. military, political and economic protectorate. Washington is following exactly the same control model the British Empire used to rule Iraq, and exploit its oil: Install a figurehead ruler, keep him in power using a “native”

[Dandelion Salad] Averting the China Syndrome: Response to Our Critics and the ...: To this we respond: it is dogmatism and studied ignorance of the highest order to deny the numerous times that MDA, and often only MDA, freed animals and shut down animal exploiters. We already described some powerful examples of effective MDA and additional instances of it are detailed in countless videos and documentaries like Behind the Mask, and are richly described in accounts through personal narratives and historical accounts (e.g., Keith Mann’s From Dusk ”˜till Dawn and Best and Nocella’s Terrorists or Freedom Fighters).

[FP Passport] Fake news from the real Mess O'Potamia | FP Passport: Fake news from the real Mess O'Potamia. Mon, 08/20/2007 - 3:06pm. Operation Silent Thunder begins tonight. That's when "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will begin airing reports from Iraq (for reals!) about the Global War on Terror. ...

[Antiwar.com Blog] Antiwar.com Blog · How Many Troops will Obama Withdraw from Iraq?: Taking this question at literal face value, Obama will assuredly withdraw some troops from the Mess in Potamia, probably at the behest of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and purely for strategic reasons. However, for each soldier withdrawn there will at some point soon thereafter be another deployed to the theater of operations, either as part of normal troop rotation or as part of the commitment of strategic specialized forces (e.g., SpecOps) in response to some newly-created regional crisis.

[Winds of Change.NET] The War in 2006 - Michael Yon's Magisterial Take - Winds of Change.NET: I want Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush to be held accountable for lying to them and us about their mission, and failing to support them with a clear objective and proper strategies.There's a heap o' evidence that no one lied (read the UN reports, and the travel iteneraries of Iraqi officials going shopping for what must have been goats from Nigeria), there is a Bush Doctrine (wrong-headed or not), and please notice that for a country without a strategy, we've been remarkably conisistent in how we approach three "hot" situations (Iraq, Afghanistan, and North Korea) and that our handling of each situation has been differernt. That doesn't fit the "feckless and reactionary" theory of American foreign policy.

[Commentarymagazine February 2009] Obama's War: It had no connection with American electoral cycles and every connection with the brutality of al Qaeda (as internal al-Qaeda communications frankly conceded). For another thing, the prospect of a precipitous American retreat, far from helping along the chances of a negotiated political settlement between warring Iraqi factions, would almost certainly have created the opposite effect, reinvigorating the murderous hopes of the terrorist forces lately on the run and thereby undoing the Awakening altogether.

[Akin about things too concerning to ignore] Shinseki: Embracing change to remain relevant [akin.blog-city.com]: Now that Saddam Hussein has been killed we can move on from that distraction and focus on the real perpetrators of 9/11 who run wild and free giving inspiration and killing American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Where is Bin Laden amd Mullah Omar?

[Right Wing Nut House] Right Wing Nut House » IRAQ: QUIT OR COMMIT: There is not tangible evidence that I can find to support such a notion, but if we are going to continue in Iraq, the borders must be secured and closed, the completely ineffectual democratic government of Iraq must be under the direct command of a Supreme Coalition Commander(a la Douglas McCarthur in making post-war Japan a success) who reports directly to President Bush, Cheney must be kept completely out of the loop, Rumsfeld fired post-haste, a replacement of the top military command in Iraq, and a clear, concrete definition of success. “We will stand down when the Iraqi soldiers and police stand up”

[Blogocracy BlogRoll] Brendan Nelson: “There is no such thing as victory in Iraq” | News ...: “We certainly canâ€â™t extend ourselves to fight serious wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan if that is what it comes to, and the thought of picking a fight with Iran is just insane and not feasible. The terror groups obviously know this and can only hope people like Bush and JWH remain in power - the other advantage they have is they also know there is a growing discontent around the world about the COWâ€â™s actions, which offers them a greater chance to recruiting more fighters, as well as allowing public anger dislodge and discredit COW leaders.”

[Akin about things too concerning to ignore] Condi knows nothing about birth pangs [akin.blog-city.com]: With Condoleezza Rice returning to the Middle-East again, this midwife is probably not going to deliver a healthy baby, regardless of the hopes and fears, the “new Middle-East” is on to becoming a still-born baby, taking the mother along with it.
