The President's Real Goal In Iraq

By Jay Bookman

The official story on Iraq has never made sense. The connection that the Bush administration has tried to draw between Iraq and al-Qaida has always seemed contrived and artificial. In fact, it was hard to believe that smart people in the Bush administration would start a major war based on such flimsy evidence. The pieces just didn't fit. Something else had to be going on; something was missing.

The White House and too many Republicans in the Senate — including Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker — are thwarting the will of the American people, who overwhelmingly want our leaders to take care of our troops, bring them home safely and find a sensible strategy to extricate us from the civil war in Iraq. And they are doing it in the most insidious of ways: by blocking votes on legislation and by rejecting independent review of the President’s strategy...

While US commanders in Iraq are deep into planning post-surge surges well into next spring, a couple of straws in the military wind indicate that support for them, not just in civilian America but in military America, may be on the wane. Recently, Military.com, a large insider website directed at the military and veteran communities, polled its readers on when US troops should withdraw from Iraq and the results proved a surprise: ‘Nearly 60 percent of readers who participated … said the United States should withdraw its troops from Iraq now or by the end of 2008. More than 40 percent of the respondents agreed the pullout should begin immediately because ‘we’re wasting lives and resources there”...

„Alles, was wir von westlichen Regierungspolitikern und aus den tonangebenden Medien über den Irak erfahren, verdreht die dortige Wirklichkeit. Das zeigt der neue Report »War and Occupation in Iraq«, den das Global Policy Forum (eine internationale Organisation mit Konsultativstatus bei der UNO) mit Unterstützung von dreißig weiteren Friedens- und Menschenrechtsgruppen zusammengestellt hat…“ Artikel von Joachim Guilliard in Ossietzky, dokumentiert am 20.07.2007 im Linksnet http://www.linksnet.de/artikel.php?id=3149

Ira Chernus of TomDispatch.com writes: "Pity the poor Democratic candidates for president, caught between Iraq and a hard place. Every day, more and more voters decide that we must end the war and set a date to start withdrawing our troops from Iraq. Most who will vote in the Democratic primaries concluded long ago that we must leave Iraq, and they are unlikely to let anyone who disagrees with them have the party's nomination in 2008."

"If ever there were a moment for serious discussion about the Iraq war," says The New York Times, "this is it. Americans want President Bush to explain how he will extract the troops and contain the bloodletting and chaos the war has unleashed. Washington's dwindling band of allies and Iraq's neighbors are also waiting to hear. Pretty much everyone in the world wants answers except the president."

Sidney Blumenthal, writing in The Guardian UK, says, "One of the more memorable and revealing statements explaining the nature of the Bush administration build-up to the invasion of Iraq was offered in September 2002 by then White House chief of staff Andrew Card. 'From a marketing point of view,' he said, 'you don't introduce new products in August.' Five years later, a period longer than the Civil War and World War II, the administration is preparing to present its case for continuing the surge in Iraq."
