Another "Post-Script" to my last perusal... Two of the major factors in the recruitment of Iraqi "Insurgents", are #1... the evidence that America wants to control all of Iraq's oil production (as it currently is), and #2.... the evidence that America plans a large, permanent occupation (which is currently underway).... We are viewed as "invaders", and "occupiers".... and every day, more Iraqis become "Insurgents". Most Americans hear about "Troop-withdrawls", thinking that soon we will remove our forces from Iraq. History's lessons have illustrated that NOT to be true. How long have we had troops in Germany? How about Japan? Korea? The Phillipines?NOT ONCE has the Bush/Cheney "crime-family" denied plans of long-term comittments and military presences. On the contrary, Bush has recently unveiled plans for FOURTEEN military bases in Iraq, and an embassy LARGER THAN THE VATICAN!!! the largest foreign-embassy EVER BUILT!!(Exactly WHO does Bush think is going to PAY for all of this? Contracts to be awarded "no-bid" to Halliburton & Bechtel... I'm sure) Such occupation is prime"recruitment-fodder" for the insurgents. Write or call your Congressman.... DEMAND their vote which supports the resolution to stop this insanity. A bill is currently being sponsored to "give ALL control of Iraqi oil-production to Iraq, as well as stopping the construction of the 14 military installations by our government." This bill will do more to fight the "insurgency" than thousands of dead American troops.
