from a sports forum blog/argument, about the good news of Saddam's capture and what would result in Iraq:
Google Carlysle and GH Venture Partners see the joint venture capital aquisition merger firms calling the shots and making big energy, war, and space exploration profits.
They also have pharmacy/cancer/aids and technology lobbies.
SCI even posts a proud page on the US Chamber of Commerce to Taiwan ( key area Bush surrenedered to China) and the ambassador to Taiwan Bush appointed whose previous post was a state dept. aid to China/Mongolia. Their business site lists outsource assessments and venture capital backing for such moves , the TOP 6 OF WHICH are US outsourcings to Taiwan and CHina via the Bush league's unfair trade act.
So while our guys/gals risk their lives their jobs get sold off, Nike, GM, FORD, and oil/energy providers company regional presidents litter the sites board of directors and ventures. Neil Bush got over 2 million in lobby deals from the free trade benefactors? Almost a dollar per job (minus the holiday hiring season it will be about 75 cents per job soon) selloff rate right now. That is hwy Bush is all bout values, the value of your job to his brother's outsource lobby.
Bush's free trade agreement with Columbia- the leading killer of union workers (more than the entire globe combined outside of their borders). AFL-CIO reports that over 2,000 lives were lost here this year and Bush hails his "free trade" (oxymoron) agreement with them as being a terrific example of improved policy and a safer terror free world.
There will be terror everywhere this guy is taking dumps on everyone everywhere he goes. And they have the nerve to cut back 200 VA hospitals in America at this time as well in smaller/rural areas.
Neil Bush lived in Colorado and was a savings and loan embezzler?And ENRON's accounting firm was headquartered in Colorado and one of their chief legal counsels was a representative for the Taliban American John Walker Lynch detained in Guantanimo? Why is oil/energy scam money with ties to shrub's pardoned felon brother taking care of a known terrorist?
As for the war and Saddam, great news from several points for both sides.
1- Troop morale is improved.
2- Iraqis can now move forward and not have the ghost of oppression haunt their new government.
3- We can speed up "Iraqi-ization" and GET OUR TROOPS HOME.
4- The ties of Rumsfeld-Cheney to Saddam can be achieved and reinforced so Powell/Rice can take over and fool middle class voters of black heritage into voting for them.
5- The US can prove we are of higher standards and not torture/kill him openly so future POW/MIA soldiers of ours can perhaps recieve good treatment in other areas of deployment since the Bush league will go to war everywhere possible.
6- Halliburton overcharging and making us haul to Iraq can cease and their aquisition/merger stratagy on the stock market can rob a lot of hypocritical flag wavers of their money on loss-limit levels.
Now if he was leading the resistance of the Hole-in-the-Ground gang where were his maps and radios and chain of command? Look-alike or was he just trying to simplify and achieve martyr status? The latter seems most likely.
It seems the chain of command was removed and this will change little live time. Perhaps the armed counterinsurgents we have (former prisoners that Saddam armed for combat and we then enlisted as members of the new army) will now continue their war crimes and turn more opinion against us for indirect oversight also.
Our soliders are better than this and should not have their merits discredited with these new Iraqi "soldiers". Their actions enrage and inspire Jihad vs. America and our soldier's presence does as well. We showed that our ground troops are better men by not killing their leader, now bring ours home . The longer we stay, more will fight against us as outsiders instead of liberators.We should have learned as much by now.
The failure of democracy would be blamed on us instead of the Muslim culture's own shortcomings. Let the UN in and get ours out with other arab oversight so these issues can be addressed in such fashion.
