if bush does finally decides to pull out of Iraq do we all get the chance to call him a flip flop? and is ?

Question

that the only reason why he wont pull out?

Answer 1

No, to be honest as far as the US is concerned it's the best thing to do right now.

Put it this way, the only reason why he invaded Iraq was economical, and if you doubt it carry on reading as I will explain later.

At the moment, Saddam is ousted and dusted; the government and the government troops are being trained the US way; the majority of contracts to rebuild the country are for American companies and the US will carry on threatening Iraq if this does not happen; and finally, the most important reason, one of the largest oil reserves is now free and the US is now controlling Iraq directly and indirectly until it has done the same thing that US policy makers made with Latin America.


Latin America is under US control, well at least was until Chavez and the likes started rioting again, and the natural resources are now on either American corporations, local affiliates or locals that transferred the money to the US because of the currency system introduced in the 80s.

It's now time to control the region with the most oil. The invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in the 90s was unacceptable, not because they invaded a sovereign country but because of oil. I could cite several examples of countries being invaded and the US staying silent, as it was not economically convenient. East-Timor and its occupation by Indonesia is an example.

The cradle of the civilization is rich in oil, as we all know and it's not from now. Iran had a democratically elected government and the US and Britain ousted that government in the 50s to put a dictator in his place, so what is the logic of claiming Democracy and WMD were the reason for the Iraqi Invasion? After all, the US sold the nuclear technology to Iran back in the 50s.

Everyone knew there were no WMD, well the elite knew and our presidents and prime ministers knew. The only nuclear plant Iraq had, sold by the French, had been destroyed in a sneak Israeli attack condemned by the international community.

Anyway, the point is, it's down to money. The task is done.

Abandoning Iraq at this stage is doing the same that was done after the first Iraqi war, creating more internal problems and indirectly killing innocent people. A conservative figure of half a million Iraqi children died as a result of the imposed economic sanctions; The responsible for the Kuwait invasion or the running of the Iraq carried on having a good life and even being able to suck in more money into their dictatorships through the oil black market. However, the US never pulled out the sanctions. The objective was oil control and those children were no US concern. After all the US has been the first country to be kicked out of the Human Rights Council in 2001 since its creation after WW II.

Abandoning the country now is making the same mistake. Iraq has to rebuild itself from the wrongdoings of the so called advanced countries and these countires have the duty to help (not control, but help) in this difficult process. This means the Bush administration accepting the fact that they don't know how to deal with those cultures and accepting the responsibility of their mistake. Full support has to be provided to Iraq but not on the forefront, not on any front the US deems important but on the front Iraq and the surrounding countries think it's applicable to their culture

Time to stop being a spoiled kid and acknowledge the responsibility over what we, the Western developed countries, have done to that region throughout history. The manipulation, the extortion of natural resources, the xenophobia and Islamophobia, the unreasonable use of force, the disrespect for their culture and the list could go on and on, has to stop.

How would the US react if someone attempted to do the same they so ruthlessly do to other countries? Well, the answer lies in 9/11. What we see now is not the result of 9/11, this is only the western, mainly American short-sighted view. 9/11 is the result of US actions and until its policy makers accept this, I predict this will get worse.

No one likes to be controlled; freedom is a privilege of only a minority not because people don't want to be free but because we don't let them be free. It's convenient, you know, our inflation rates are going doing thanks to world poverty, poverty which will increase due to US and its European followers clever way of dealing withit.

The top 3 richest people in America have more money that the bottom sixty of all countries (about 1/3 of the total number of countries in the world)

Answer 2

A decent president would never care about being called a flip flop if it saved lives. We DONT have a decent president, and he shows how little he cares about human life every day.

Answer 3

"This war started on my watch, and it will end on yours." Google it.
He wants to clean up the mess, but can't figure out how.
Any perceptive person knows he is just buying time. Bush plans on passing the torch to the next president because he doesn't want the humiliation of not accomplishing his own goals.

Answer 4

no, its ludicrous to say that that hte only reason that bush won't leav iraq. thin about it, what would happen if we DID pull out of iraq right now? civil war inevitably. we started a mess and now we have to clean it up. simple as that.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I can call him worse than that. There are some things even Jesus won't forgive.

Answer 7

I'm guessing he'll wait till the job is done.

Answer 8

Yes and no.

He actually wants to start WW III by attacking Iran.

Answer 9
