Even The Media Must Admit Iraq Is Lost
October 23, 2006
In a broadcast on Friday the 20th of October, WFLA/NBC Florida, reported that the situation in Baghdad has spiraled into a civil war with Iraqi Citizens and US troops caught in the middle. You can view the link below. So while the Republicans and Democrats argue about what is the best way to fight this war, the Vietnam like quagmire that was once Iraq has spun completely out of control. But the question that must be asked is, is this a surprise? The warning signs were certainly there. One needs to look through the archives of the Village Voice to find the article, “We Will Win The War But, Can We Win The Peace?” Scott Ritter also warned about the lies leading up to the war along with the outcome of an invasion. Of coarse the warnings were brushed aside as “leftist propaganda,” and to this day you still have George W Bush’s 34% support base that still try to make the point that the those of us on the left created the situation in the Middle east. That some how the fact that ego and the hunger for an economic upper hand in that part of the world lead us into the war had nothing to do with the current situation.
If there is any upside to this mess, it is that the Nov. 7th elections are right around the corner which gives us the chance to rid ourselves of this rotten lot.
Until next time.
