OF "GRUNTS" AND "GOOKS": THE LATEST VICTIMS
What most people are afraid of saying in public because of the after
burn of 9/11 hysteria and the naive US belief in the righteousness of
their dear leader's wrathful god and sour apple pie propaganda
(whatever the perfidy of his actions), the crude reality is Iraq is
already "lost" as surely as Vietnam was lost long before that
ignominious helicopter retreat from the roof of the Saigon embassy.
Dissenters from that shameless slaughter understood what winning and
losing in the American military industrial vernacular meant at that
time and it had nothing to do with the well being of the people of
Vietnam anymore than it has for the people of Iraq today. History
proves time and time again that when America intervenes in other
nations' affairs it does so to protect "its" inalienable interests,
coveting that nation's resources, or setting up some client dictator
and seldom to protect the welfare of the little people whose country
it is supposed to be.
It looks like big bad Saddam Hussein with a war chest of billions and
an endless supply of materiel and angry youth had planned this war of
attrition long before geniuses Bush, Powell and Rumsfeld knifed the UN
in the back in their ill fated, unilateral rush to war. The assumed
victors have now become the hunted and are finding out what Saddam's
going price for every American or collaborator's head is in the
nauseating snuff movie that Iraq has become. What kind of bounty will
a freedom fighter collect for "taking out" Bremer or Greenstock let's
say, or what was the rocket man hoping to bag with Wolfowitz's scalp
at the Rashid hotel? The cunning, despicable character Wolfowitz
shaken but still threatening as he licked his wounds after his sojourn
at resort Rashid where the Machiavellian brain behind the smart bombs
insanity finally got a taste of his own poisonous medicine. God knows
contract murder and bounty hunting is a crude game but the Americans
started it so of course that gives it the sacred imprimatur in this
disgusting Judeochristianmuslim terror jihad. Did gunslinger Bush
think that Saddam never played cowboys and Indians as a kid or had
never heard of Jessie James?
The wily Iraqi despot lured the arrogant and unsuspecting invaders
into the warren of Baghdad back streets, deep into the tangle of Iraqi
ethnic, religious, social and political allegiances and now supposedly
sits counting corpses in his Ali Ba Ba's bunker as demoralised,
minority, working class American youth get picked off one by one or by
the helicopter load on Saddam's home turf. He can patiently wait it
out, Bro until the US public wises up to the scam and calls a halt to
Bush's turkey shoot. Bush hoping against all odds that the turkey
count doesn't set alarm bells ringing too loudly before the next
"election" is already raving about how every dead American is proof of
how he's still "winnin" the war that's supposed to be long over. Proof
positive if that were still required that the little guy with the big
mouth from Texas is way out of his depth in the treacherous quick
sands of Iraq. Already there are more jarheads dead since Cap'n George
did his flight suit stunt and declared "mission accomplished" than
troops killed in Rumsfeld's brilliant, strategic, masterful mass
murder of innocent Iraqis at the onslaught of his shocking and awful
virtual war on terror. Virtual at least for the Pentagon ghouls who
managed their slaughter from behind computer and radar screens, safe
then in the luxury and comfort of their Haliburton air conditioned
textile city over the border.
But as in Vietnam when killer Kissinger was squawking, the latest
gaggle of White House chicken hawks that started this anarchical blood
fest is now sandwiched in the middle trying to save face instead of
lives and won't even countenance retreat before the gush of blood hits
500 or 5000 dead (whatever the present day McNamara body bag bean
counters find tolerable and can explain away to the masses stateside)
before the next "election". Of course I am referring to dead invaders
not the sinned against people of Iraq who get neither obituary nor
mention in the daily toll. As Tommy Franks cynically claimed "we don't
do body counts"; it seems these well paid professional assassins
learned something from killing nearly 2 million "gooks" in Vietnam
after all! In Vietnam young "grunts" were dying at the rate of 2,000 a
month before it got the attention of Bob and Betsy Flagwaver to wake
up to the reality of that particular fiasco.
When will the present Israeliamerican policy pirates accept that the
jig is up, or more to the point what will it take to snap decent
Americans out of their Bush terror induced stupor and demand a return
to some semblance of democracy in their much maligned land and finally
wrest control of their nation?s foreign policy from the mafia
interests that now openly dictate from the Oval Office? Will it take a
spectacular jackpot strike against US occupation forces in the style
of Lebanon to stop this as was the case when the US last fought an
Israeli war and where over 300 US soldiers were blown to bits with one
bang in October of 1983? What will bring the US masses onto their mean
streets away from their unemployment, food handout and welfare lines
to cry halt to this outrageous murder for corporate profit that is
tearing the Middle East to pieces and sowing hate and vengeance
worldwide for coming generations of innocent US citizens? Will it take
a dirty bomb in Houston, Detroit and Chicago to wake citizens up to
the pandemonium that their Bush putsch government is spawning globally
under its smoke screen "war on terror"? Beirut sure got Reagan's
attention and he couldn?t get the hell out of there fast enough
irrespective of how the Israel lobby protested at the time, however he
wasn't entirely dependent on Haliburton, Bechtel or the oil cartel for
his script and Lebanon had none of that precious black goo that has
always got the greed addicted Bush gang so wired and crazy.
One thing should now be obvious to all and that is the attempted
removal of Saddam Hussein is having an even greater impact on regional
and world stability than the rupture of the Soviet Union in general
and the ensuing slaughter as Yugoslavia fractured and spun out of
Serbian control. As in the case of Israel and its Iron Curtain road
map to "peace", the Iraq disaster is yet another example that the US
has bitten off much more than it can chew and antique Rumsfeld,
attendant scrabble meisters and Pentagon canon fodder merchants are
left looking bewildered every time they materialize before the press
with their latest deathly spin to the downward spiral of expectations.
When will we finally hear of leaked plans for the partition of Iraq
into ethnic enclaves more divided along pipelines than bloodlines? I
suspect the Republicans, inveterate high rollers that they are, will
soon try and cut their losses in their electoral bid to keep the Bush
machine in power and attempt to settle for Kurdistan and its natural
resources. With Saudi Arabia out of grace and apparently incapable of
stopping its own demise Bush and Co are desperate. From Kurdistan the
US can hope to harass and try to contain the inevitable Sunni and
Shiite Islamic states that will sprout after its army of occupation is
routed. Whether this butchering of Iraq a la Afghanistan and Palestine
will begrudgingly be tolerated in the region or simply prove to be a
greater source of future trouble is academic. Still if it gets Bush of
the hook in the short term and can offer hope of a minimum of oil for
his handlers then I suspect it will be plan B for the corporate
raiders now riding the back of the US military like the vultures that
they are. The Kurds could be the big winners in this scenario to
Turkey?s chagrin. However, their vicarious oil wealth is already
bringing to the fore their age old aspirations of establishing their
beloved, greater Kurdistan. That coupled with the likes of Ansar
al-Islam a decisive factor among fundamentalist Kurds guarantees no
cake walk either for beleaguered US forces hunkered down in "friendly"
Kurdistan. The sullen Turks will not willingly go along with a semi
independent Kurdistan living off the crumbs the American oil companies
would have to concede and the Israeli style buffer zones the US war
machine would be obliged to set up as it bunkered itself in fortress
Kurdistan to witness the inevitable triumph of Islamic fundamentalism
it has spawned throughout the rest of Iraq.
Either way Pandora?s Box is open and all of George's horses and all of
George's men can never put Iraq together again. It speaks volumes for
our so called Western democracies that a pillaging, plundering
behemoth like the Bush US for the sole benefit of a brutal and
scrupleless clique of warmongers such as Bush has surrounded himself,
can prey on a nation and people in the name of God, patriotism and
family values and in the end achieve only anarchy and inspire millions
more with the determination to see the US burn.
As Rumsfeld and Rice mud sling and wrestle in the Oval Office for the
dim one?s attention it looks like the Pentagon is giving itself
another 180 days to contain the bloodbath or surrender all hope of
keeping up the sham. For the sake of the rest of us that uphold the
rule of international law and respect the sovereignty of nations, Iraq
must win out against this charade and repel the aggressor so that this
war crime against innocent people stays unrewarded. Iraq, if it has to
degrade into civil war to decide its own post Saddam destiny surely it
should be allowed to do so on its terms and not those dictated by
weapons' purveyors and contemptuous criminals like Rumsfeld who are in
no small part responsible for Saddam Hussein in the first place?
Even the most rabidly gung ho yanks now have to admit that the reason
for this immoral and unjustifiable war and the ensuing unemployment
and impoverishment at home is due to the unbridled greed of the regime
now billeted in the White House. Blatant cronyism and treachery is
currently the doctrine supreme of an un-elected band of thieves,
propagandists and "advisors" who owe their allegiance to conglomerate
corporations "great games" (8 billion dollars in juicy contracts that
the funders of Bush have already been promised to "reconstruct" Iraq
in Uncle Sam's image) in tandem with war criminal Sharon's demented
vision of greater Israel as regional pit bull. The rest of the world,
apart from opportunists England and Spain with their own history of
colonial rapacity, refuses to tolerate US colonial ambitions so thinly
disguised under the act of sequestrating a nation in order to
"forcibly" install democracy. Only a moron like Bush could mouth such
an obvious oxymoron and keep a straight smirk on his mug. A land that
the US never gave a damn about in the past as long as Rumsfeld and his
ilk could take advantage of the thug who ruled there is suddenly to be
blasted to democracy with the tools of violence and mass murder by a
US president who stole the elections in his own big buck two party
system "democracy".
Pre emptive state sponsored terror must not be allowed to flourish
into full global anarchy just because the White House has been seized
by dangerous, fanatical bigots. Either you are against this treason
or part of it!
