Iraqis Have Voted! Great! So Bring Home The Troops! NOW!
The media propaganda show has truly been amazing. One would almost think that Rove has a master network news control room in his bedroom. That vote was a complete sham. It was meant more for American public opinion than it was for the actual future of Iraq.

However, let's not protest this day, for if we do, we'll come off looking like whiners or pessimists. I know we aren't. We just want the truth, but we're in a world where truth takes a backseat to the media manufactured public opinion.

I propose that we play along with this charade, and call Bush and his media on this day with this simple argument: "Great, the Iraqis have voted. Isn't it a miracle? So, let's bring home the troops. There's no reason for us to stay there any more. Let's bring home the troops."

3. BINGO.
Say it loud, say it proud.
Say it OFTEN.

Iraq has elected its own government, democratically - our 'work' there is done. Bring the soliders home. TOMORROW.

4. NEVER-EVER ...
The troops are NEVER coming home.

As long as Bush Inc. is Prez, the
neo-con PNAC push eastward will
continue.

Iran and Syria are next.

A USA military draft is even more next.

6. What led you to this amazing unclouded conclusion?
Perhaps the fact that this entire mess is a wonderful business opportunity?

Are you aware of the military strategists that have pushed this military inspired cultivation of freedom?

Have you read Thomas Barnett?

5. This election is just another publicity stunt, much like the taking down
of Saddam's statue. The US doesn't really care about the Iraqi people nor to the right-wingers care if Iraqis can vote. This is all bullshit.

I can only see two groups coming to power in Iraq, a US supported puppet regime that will allow the US to plunder its resources or some crazy religious group that wants to establish a theocratic regime.

The idea of the US coming to liberate people and give them freedom and democracy is all a cover for something more sinister. I think US history shows that. It's all about making more money for the war profiteers.
