Occupations Are Not Won. They Are Ended
Dead Remembered, Living Ignored: Occupations Are Not Won. They Are Ended
By John Perry

Five years, four thousand dead troops, more than one million dead Iraqis.

And not only are we still waiting to hear what the "noble cause" is, but we have yet to hear a definition of victory, or how we'll know when we've achieved it.

What's happening in Iraq is NOT a war. It's an illegal occupation following the illegal invasion of a country that posed no threat to the United States.

Occupations are not won. They are ended. Which is why the Bush administration is calling it a war.

3. After all these years of the Fed preaching deregulation,
they now want to regulate. They had to wait for the sub-prime melt down to take action? I guess the republican Great Depression was not proof enough that regulation works.

4. Exactly, and the MSM keeps letting them get away with calling it
a war.
