All’s quiet on the blogosphere front

The American Conservative

So after 16 months, U.S. troops are still in Iraq even though they were promised to be out and the war has been escalated both in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan but without any clear objective as to where all this escalation goes if it doesn’t succeed, or if there’s a simple strategy for success. And yet this situation, sadly, is not being protested outside of few nor really being acknowledge by many, either in the news or in the blogosphere...

The endless occupation: Obama scraps Iraq withdrawal plan

Keeping his campaign promises has not been Barack Obamas strong point, as those who hoped the closing of Guantanamo would end a shameful chapter in American history have learnt to their sorrow: and surely those who hoped change meant a new era in American foreign policy have reason to be disappointed. As usual, on most issues Obama gave himself a lot of wiggle room, so that if a strategic shift were required he could dance around the contradiction with ease, but on one question he painted himself into a corner: Let me say this as plainly as I can: by August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end. He said that, not only during the campaign, but in a speech at Camp Lejeune last year. However, it looks like his administration is preparing to backtrack

Obama scraps Iraq withdrawal plan

CounterPunch
by David Swanson

05/13/10

So, we elected a president who promised a withdrawal from Iraq that he, or the generals who tell him what to do, is now further delaying. And, of course, the timetable hes now delaying was already a far cry from what he had promised as a candidate.What are we to think? That may be sad news, but what could we have done differently? Surely it would have been worse to elect a president who did not promise to withdraw, right?

Iraq in Pieces

rudkla — 2010-05-06T07:18:00Z

By Hadani Ditmars

With $53 billion in 'aid' seemingly evaporated into bloated projects that only served to line the pockets of foreign contractors and local officials, 70 per cent of Iraqis lack potable water, and unemployment hovers near 50 per cent, officially, and much more, unofficially. Today Iraq is ranked the fifth most corrupt country in the world by Transparency International.

Revisiting freedom in Iraq

How often have we heard proponents of the unlawful war of aggression against Iraq say that the real purpose of their invasion (after U.S. troops and the CIA failed to find those infamous and scary WMDs that were about to fired at the United States) was to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq? How many times have they attempted to justify the deaths of almost 4,400 U.S. soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis on that basis? How often have they reminded us that Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who tortured, killed, and jailed his own people?
