Killing fields of Iraq, Bush: tough! we'll stay the course! Future of Iraq & middle east !

With the recent revelation that our efforts to clean out Baghdad has failed miserably and violence and deaths of Iraqi civilians and our military have increased and sights of the Mahdi Army driving around shaking AK 47's and grenade launchers only to disappear into the community once Iraqi authorities did finally show up. You know this will only continue and get worse. We still have the Chief idiot saying Iraq is tough but we will stay the course.

Bush is a fool but What Scheer says below is correct but it must be known that he is right in that staying the course is a recipe for disaster but getting help from Syria is asinine because they like Iran will do things with their interest in mind. Also, he too is wrong saying that no one can predict the future of Iraq. It is no prediction it will be fact and Bush should have known it.

Truthdigs Robert Scheer: We are not building democracy, we are creating mayhem.
The evidence arrives daily in the form of dozens, sometimes hundreds, of mutilated bodies. But even the few ghastly images that actually make it onto the television actually underestimate the horror. And it is getting worse, not better: The killing of innocents is now 10 times higher than a year ago.
The most thorough appraisal of Iraqi deaths, done by British and American epidemiologists using accepted norms for public health research and published in the respected medical journal The Lancet, puts the number of war- and occupation-related dead at an appalling 650,000.

The authors, being serious scientists, concede that counting the dead in a country turned into a war zone is a difficult enterprise, but even the lowest figure in their estimate, more than 300,000 dead, is shocking enough. Of course the decider says the truth is hogwash!

Perhaps most important, it is not only the derided "cut and run" domestic critics of the president's policy who recognize that our continued presence is part of the problem rather than of the solution, but also 90 percent of the Iraqi people we are supposedly trying to help, according to recent U.S. government and scholarly public-opinion surveys.

Even more shocking: Six in 10 believe it actually is acceptable to target U.S. troops for assassination. And while President Bush on Monday once again reassured the impotent puppet government in Baghdad that the United States is prepared to "stay the course," the vast majority of both Shiites and Sunnis want us to leave within the next year.

One cannot predict with any certainty the future of Iraq, or the region, in the face of a U.S. military withdrawal, but clearly Bush is wrong in insisting that our continued occupation of Iraq lessens rather than increases the likelihood of future terrorist attacks on the United States. Iraqis, like the Vietnamese, are most of all nationalists, preoccupied with the future of their own country rather than, as the president insists, challenging America's way of life. We still have not a single example of a disgruntled Iraqi carrying the battle to U.S. soil, but the longer we stay, the greater the likelihood of just such blowback.

Staying the course is a prescription for disaster. That is why a commission backed by Bush and led by former Secretary of State James Baker, a Republican and a longtime aide to the Bush family, intends to propose -- against the repeatedly stated wishes of the president -- significant changes in the administration's strategy by early next year, according to the Los Angeles Times and other papers.

Two options under consideration would represent reversals of U.S. policy: withdrawing American troops in phases, and bringing neighboring Syria into a joint effort to stop the fighting," reported the paper. At least one commission participant says they have already decided Bush is dead wrong: "It's not going to be 'stay the course,'" the participant told the Times. "The bottom line is, (U.S. policy) isn't working. ... There's got to be another way."

In other words, Bush's critics were right all along. http://news.yahoo.com/...

Scheer is right but once again like everyone else he is wrong about not being able to predict the future of Iraq and the middle east. It will be in turmoil for many years!

Bush used the excuse of 9/11 to attack Iraq and unsettle the middle east guaranteeing the loss of Afghanistan, Iraq, and the entire middle east. He did all this so he could further his idea of a new middle east and world order. If fighting terrorism was the issue he would have stayed in Afghanistan.

At this point it behooves him to continue to ignore reality so he can continue staying the course in order to further prosecute his new middle east and world order. whether we leave today or 100 years from now the results will be the same. Iraq is exploding and the entire middle east will follow. That is a fact because of Bush. It will not be denied now.
We are all shamelessly being used so Bush can follow his plan for new order. I wrote this 3 years ago but it is more obvious today. Let me know what you think? I won't get any deeper but it gets worse from here. this will all backfire on Bush and his plan will fail!http://www.anaveragepatriot.com/...
