What Keeps the Troops Over There?
Comment by Rune
For one thing, they would put the lie to his hype about the promising future of Iraq now that he has set it back decades in terms of sheer misery and any promise for peace and prosperity. For another, the troops would tend to vote against the Republicans who have helped keep them in Iraq for ever more, ever longer tours of hell, er, duty. Significant portions of those troops need a great deal of mental, physical, and economic assistance, which will be a major budget burden once they return by the tens of thousands. And, most importantly, the current scheme of buying success for the surge by arming the hell out of rival thugs and paying them to carry out regional, brutal genocide (thus driving one or the other side underground, which results in fewer casualties) would blow up in his face as soon as the U.S. troops take the lid off the awful pressure cooker they are creating.
The plan, of course, is to let it all blow up in the face of the next (Democratic) president, so it looks as if the next prez is the one who mismanaged Iraq, relative to Bush, when it is Bush who is creating misery upon misery everyday that his sadistic ass remains seated in the White House.
There is hell to pay and it is only going to get worse. Time to cut some losses. Impeach Bush and Cheney. NOW!
