Thread: Bush’s pointless tour to meet his stooges in the Middle East

It has been five bloody years in Iraq, and there is no end in sight to the bloodshed. Let us tune into the assertions of officials of the American empire going into Iraq. All the following statements were made between July 2002 and February 2003; i.e., in the eight months preceding the invasion of Iraq.
Richard Perle said: “Support for Saddam, including within his military organization, will collapse after the first whiff of gunpowder.� What he did not explain is what opposition there will be for imperialism and zionism after the first whiff of that gunpowder. There is now a five-year record that speaks for itself. Vice-president Dick Cheney said: “After liberation [of Iraq] the streets of Basra and Baghdad are sure to erupt in joy.� The joy of getting rid of a dictator has turned into an implacable determination to get rid of the occupiers.
And then we have the unrestricted imagination of Kenneth Adelman, member of the Defense Policy Board, who said: “Desert Storm II will be a walk in the park.� And as this race for the absurd went on, we had Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) tell us: “If we [the Americans] come to Baghdad, Damascus and Tehran as liberators, we can expect overwhelming popular support.� Well, if so, then where is this overwhelming popular support?
Speaking with an all-time ingenuousness about the Muslim peoples of the area, neo-con Paul Wolfowitz said: “You’re going to find, and this is very important, you’re going to find Iraqis out cheering American troops.� And finally an intellectual half-breed, a fugitive from his ancestors and a nobody for his contemporaries, the professor of Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins, Mr. Fouad Ajami. This darling of imperialist and zionist propaganda had this to say: “We [who is ‘we’ Mr. Ajami?] shall be greeted, I think, in Baghdad and Basra with kites and boom boxes.� This sort of wishful thinking has shown itself to be utterly off. The “kites� have turned out to be of the “go fly a kite� variety; and the “boom boxes� are a couple of letters off – they are bomb-boxes all over Iraq.

When will these zionist madmen be handed over to international justice for their genocidal conspiracies?

It's getting better in Iraq, every day now, the violence is lessening, things are getting better. It will all work out.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Skippy.

The facts tell me that, NOT ME.

YOU don't want to hear it, do you?

It will be successful, like I've been saying here for the last 18 months.
