Helen Thomas: "How Many More People Have To Die Before Complicit Congress Forces Withdrawal?"

[kpete]

President launches new Iraq PR offensive
By HELEN THOMAS
HEARST NEWSPAPERS

............

As he has done so often in recent speeches, Bush inserted sleazy innuendo in his VFW remarks to link Iraq and the 9/11 catastrophe. The president often uses 9/11 as his justification for starting the war and for continuing it, even though there was no connection.

"Iraq is the central front for the enemy that attacked us and wants to attack us again," Bush said. "As we saw on Sept. 11, a terrorist safe haven on the other side of the world can bring death and destruction to our cities."

It's no wonder that Bush's credibility is in the basement.

.............

The U.S. will have to leave Iraq, sooner or later, if not at Bush's command, then that of his successor.

Meantime, how many more people have to die before a complicit, comfortable Congress forces a withdrawal?

9. Answer: 50,000.

And by that time, the Imperial Subjects of Amerika will be so thoroughly broken and enslaved that another 50,000 will then be required, but by THAT time the Imperial Subjects of Amerika will be so broken and enslaved that another 100,000 will be required...

No seriosuly, there is a better than 50% chance that Amerika is the new Nazi Germany in terms of our people slavishly following Der Fuhrer right over the cliff.

10. Dems are between a Iraq & a hard place.

Dems fear that withholding funds for the US Occupation will lead to a total breakdown of Iraq. Dems will be blamed if that happened. Dems are damned if they do. Damned if the don't. Catch22 is at work big time.

17. Just ONE principled stand would break the ice...and rally the people to them

And if that is not true, if the Bushevik False Reality Bubble so deeply corrupts the perceptions of simple reaity right in front of the eyes to THAT degree...then we are like the 1930s Germans, doomed to follow this thing to the end, wherever it may lead.
