Iraq: from ‘cakewalk, mission accomplished’ to “central front”

From ‘cakewalk’ dreams to the reality of “the central front of Al Qaeda's global war of terror!" McCain and General Petraeus perform in tandem during Congressional Hearings this week.

Gen. Patraeus and John McCain

The conservatives are sticking to their ideological line regardless of the REALITY on the ground. The world/America is asked to stick with the psychopathology of neo-conservatism and ignore the horrendous reality America has created in Iraq. The fact is Al-Qaeda did not exist in pre-invasion Iraq. America has conveniently gifted Iraq to the terrorists – another yankee ‘success’ story!

Not since the demented Nazis of WWII has the world seen such distorted perceptions and inverted logic in government as that exhibited by the Bush regime. But the fault lies not with the American leadership it lies with a demented public that continues to accept the wet-tissue lies and drivel that emanates from the Whitehouse on all manner of issues but especially on the war in Iraq. What does it take for reality to make an impression on the average American citizen, a sledge hammer?

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any crazier, John McCain the Republican presidential front-runner, insists we must ‘stay the course’ -- whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean because if we take it literally the ‘course’ is already a proven road to hell! The "course,” is a holocaust in progress thanks to American incompetence and the worst leadership in recent history!

During Congressional Hearings, McCain attempted to use the debacle AMERICA HAS CREATED to justify its continuing occupation. This is American ‘logic’ in action; the present debacle is now utilised to justify a continuing debacle! After FIVE YEARS of a ‘mission accomplished’ three-week war, America has nothing to show for its invasion except a horrendous civilian death toll, ruined state AND BANKRUPT LOCAL ECONOMY!

McCain asked a leading question of General Petraeus, hoping to garner support for the war, “is it true that Iraq is the central front of Al-Qaeda's global war of terror?" Petraeus of course answered in the affirmative -- he ought to know, it was his military that created that reality!

It is now time for intelligent civilian government to rectify the situation. American neo-conservatism has proven to be the most disastrous experience Americans and the world have had to endure since WWII.

The Congressional Hearings themselves are a distraction; what is required are deliberations over the many war and other crimes committed by Bush and his neo-cons since taking office.

The international community often jokes about America’s water supply but recent tests have confirmed traces of sedatives, hormones and other mood altering chemicals in the drinking water! Investigations are currently underway to determine exactly how these substances entered the water supply. Tainted water would explain the mental paralysis and apathy so evident in America's population today!
