Little US or Iraqi Support for Iraq War, & Bush vs. Clinton on Getting
Osama – Bush History, 9/25
There is evidence on this date that neither Americans nor Iraqis are
very supportive of Bush’s Iraq mis-adventure. Also, a comparison of
Bush vs. Clinton, pre-9/11, on efforts to get bin Laden. And a Bushism.
Get the details …

Bush History,9/27-CIA Top Analyst: Bush went to war without asking for
or heeding intelligence agencies
CIA Top Analyst: Bush went to war ignoring intelligence agencies –
Bush History, 9/27
Damning words in the news today as a top CIA analyst blasts Bush over
Iraq. Warnings of problems like Shiite/Sunni violence: ignored. Bush
made “the most significant national security decisions” without relying
on intelligence; in fact, he “went to war without requesting …
intelligence assessments on any aspect of Iraq” with the exception of
pressure to find the nonexistent Saddam/al Qaeda link

It has?
It is folly for any politician in Washington to think the Iraqi people will make peace with the continued occupation of their country, whatever deals Maliki may cut to preserve his own power and security.

Resistance demands total withdrawal
The first demand of the Iraqi resistance is the unconditional withdrawal of all foreign forces illegally occupying Iraq — including private contractors — and disbanding all armed forces established by the occupation.

Shell back in Baghdad after 36-year absence, but boxed in by resistance
But in a sobering reminder of the underlying dangers of doing business here, the company would not disclose the location of its office, and the senior Shell official who announced the gas deal was accompanied by a phalanx of armed guards.
Western lawyers belatedly figure out that Hussein’s trial was unfair
Long before Mr. Hussein was hanged on Dec. 30, 2006, with supporters of Iraq’s new Shiite-led government taunting him as the noose was tightened around his neck, a pattern of intervention by powerful Iraqi officials had been established.
US soldier accused of abusing and killing Iraqi
Military prosecutors accused a U.S. soldier Sunday of taking an Iraqi detainee to a remote desert location, stripping him naked, shooting him in the head and chest and then watching as another soldier set fire to the body with an incendiary grenade.

Murder charges against three Army sergeants, none against those who sent them

Bush Last to Know that Saddam Didn’t Have WMDs? & Bush Plan to Muzzle
Soldiers – Bush History, 9/30
President Bush seems to be the last to know that Saddam didn’t have
WMDs, given his statement on this date. Also, a new Bush strategy to
keep the truth from Congress appears to be unfolding from the
Pentagon. And a so-so Bushism.

The most destructive, expensive empire since WWII
No other country in the post-Second World War world has been so globally destructive or inflicted so many war fatalities. . . . Yet, so gargantuan and labyrinthine are U.S. military expenditures that the above grossly understates their true magnitude, which, as we shall see below, reached $1 trillion in 2007.

Poor people are connecting the dots
For the men in front of Johnson’s, there was plain symmetry between the Iraq war and the financial crisis: Young people shipped out to a trillion-dollar bloodbath in the Middle East, in pursuit of nonexistent weapons of mass destruction; and banks collapsing on top of mortgages.
