Naomi Klein: Mutiny in Iraq

[sherriftruman]

Not sure if this was posted earlier. From Morphizm:

"Can we please stop calling it a quagmire? The United States isn't mired in a bog or a marsh in Iraq (quagmire's literal meaning); it is free-falling off a cliff. The only question now is: Who will follow the Bush clan off this precipice, and who will refuse to jump?

More and more are, thankfully, choosing the second option. The last month of inflammatory US aggression in Iraq has inspired what can only be described as a mutiny: Waves of soldiers, workers and politicians under the command of the US occupation authority are suddenly refusing to follow orders and abandoning their posts. First Spain announced it would withdraw its troops, then Honduras, Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Kazakhstan. South Korean and Bulgarian troops were pulled back to their bases, while New Zealand is withdrawing its engineers. El Salvador, Norway, The Netherlands and Thailand will likely be next"http://www.morphizm.com/observations/klein/klein_mutiny.html">...MORE

1. I was going to say...

Use the Search function, Moran! But then I realized that you probably don't have enough posts.

If you find DU useful enough, you can make a contribution, and then I think you can use the search function.

Klein is an excellent writer.
