Bush taught the Iraqi Government well - Want a 2 month long vacation while this crisis is happening

[ck4829]

Lawmakers divided over whether to keep U.S. troops in Iraq are finding common ground on at least one topic: They are furious that Iraqi politicians are considering a lengthy break this summer.

"If they go off on vacation for two months while our troops fight — that would be the outrage of outrages," said Rep. Chris Shays, R-Conn.

The Iraq parliament's recess, starting this July, would likely come without Baghdad politicians reaching agreements considered key to easing sectarian tensions. Examples include regulating distribution of the country's oil wealth and reversing measures that have excluded many Sunnis from jobs and government positions because of Baath party membership.

Talk of the adjournment comes amid a heated debate in Congress on the pullout of U.S. troops in Iraq.

2. Could "going on vacation" just be a sly Iraqi way of saying:

THIS GOVERNMENT IS OVER, DUDE!

3. Hey, not before you sign those oil contracts!

They've gotta sign away their oil rights to the US before they go on vacation. The Iraqi bloodbath can wait but let's take care of the important work.

5. I caught that too...

But but but I thought the Iraqi war was never about oil????

6. That WMD excuse is sooooo 2003.

It doesn't seem so long ago that the objective du jour was to bring truth, justice, and the American way to Iraqis. My how time flies and look how they've grown!

Summary of Reasons for Iraq War: The two fundamental reasons are (1) Oil, and (2) Israel. But the mechanical reasons are (1) the neocon lobby, (2) Cheney as VP, and (3) Bush's desire to prove himself and best his father. The neocons discuss mainly on the needs of Israel (the WMDs they were truely concerned about were Scuds aimed at Israel), but Cheney and Rumsfeld may have been more focussed on oil.
