We keep hearing about the Iraqi "insurgents"... As if they are some mysterious army of assassins. In many cases, they are various groups of the three ethnic groups; militias who kidnap and murder anyone who lives or works in a multi-ethnic neighborhood. These "terror-tactics" force Sunis to leave Shiite areas, Kurds to leave Suni areas, Shiites to leave Kurdish neighborhoods, and EVERYONE to leave areas with mixed-ethnicity. Bush's invasion has created an entire new breed of refugees... forced to leave their homes and jobs, (if they HAVE them), who utterly resent the American-invaders who brought about this anarchy. Such resentment makes our soldiers "Targets" for their frustration. This resentment is flourishing throughout the Middle-East; creating those martyrs who would gladly die to kill the "infidel American invaders". It seems that George W. Bush's policy of; "Bring 'em on" has created FAR more terrorists than it has thwarted. It is also a case of "Criminal-Negligence"when the "insurgents" have ready- access to the 300 TONS of "high-explosives" (artillery shells, mortars, land-mines, grenades, etc. ) which were LOOTED from weapons- depots near Basra during the first week of the war. Since Rumsfeld's INADEQUATE troop-deployment FAILED to properly "secure" and guard those weapons, they are now being used to kill OUR soldiers!! Doesn't the "Commander-In-Chief" bear the ultimate responsibility for this catastrophic failure of policy? Had these explosives beeen properly guarded, the "I.E.D." deaths could easily have been reduced by HALF!! I am not a "military-strategist", but it seems to me that when a country wins a war, the FIRST thing that they do is to DISARM THE ENEMY!! Yet Bush's little exercise in chaos allows EVERY Iraqi citizen to walk the streets of Iraq with an AK-47 or "R.P.G." in their possession!! It also seems to me that the SECOND thing that is done by the "Victor", is to "secure the borders" to prevent foreign interference.... (Also NOT done) The ONLY logical explanation for this is that Bush WANTS anarchy...For when there is chaos, it allows vast sums of money to be made and stolen!! "Stay-The Course"..... MY ASS!!!.... Has George Bush had a lobotomy?? or is he SO corrupt that he continues to "spin" the truth to profit his friends and co-horts??
