Amerika is no longer at War.
Amerika is no longer at War.

The clever Spin Docs of the Bush Regime have spun the new slogan, "Struggle Against Violent Extremists" in the place of "War On Terror". You see, no War. No War Crimes if there is no War. How can there be an anti-War movement when there is no War to protest against? These folk know how to frame the issue.

Now that Iran and Iraq are going to be Allies in Military matters because the dominant party in Iraq are Shia, as is the case in Iran, the U.S. is going to have a little problem with their agenda of attacking Iran. Iran will help the Shi'ites fight the Sunnis as the U.S. has been doing. It gets a bit complicated, doesn't it?

Iraq Signs Military Pact with Iran
Thu, 7 Jul 2005

Former foes Iraq and Iran announced “a new chapter” in their relations on Thursday, including cross-border military co-operation, dismissing US concerns about Iranian regional meddling.

On his first official visit to Tehran, Iraqi minister of defence Saadoun al-Dulaimi asserted his country’s sovereign right to seek help from wherever it sees fit in rebuilding its defence capabilities.

“Nobody can dictate to Iraq its relations with other countries,” Mr Dulaimi said in a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart, Admiral Ali Shamkhani.

The two ministers said that a military co-operation agreement, now in the preparation, would include Iranian help with training and upgrading Iraq’s reconstituted armed forces, a process so far overseen by US and coalition advisers.

2. Struggle Against Violent Extremists is right.
After all, we don't actually want to kill them, as in a war. Just get them out of government.
