The denial as to what the United States had done to Iraq over the last 19 years is nearly complete. One of the most remarkable was Mrs. Clinton’s husband, Big Bill, getting all heated up from a radio interview with Amy Goodman, on Democracy Now!, election day 2000. This is where the former president, blamed the deaths of Iraqi children on Saddam Hussein, because as Mr. Clinton said: “He’s got more money now, $3 billion a year more than he had nine years ago.”

Which to this very day, I find this to be one of the most remarkable statements to ever be uttered from the Arkansas traveler’s mouth. After a long successful campaign to demonize the former brutal ally dictator, it seems that Bill Clinton takes no responsibility for the half million deaths which occurred, due to the United States led embargo, because the monster Saddam had more money to give away than he did nine years ago. But Clinton’s denial does not stop there. He is also in denial of what his own Secretary of State, Madeline Albright said, when asked about the carnage to children created by the embargo, on CBS 60 minutes, she replied that it was tough, but that it was “worth it”.

“Iraq” has essentially become the “forgotten occupation”. However it is the theater where the Obama administration in league with the Pentagon is taking essentially unreported or scantily reported actions because our press, the Congress, and the American people have lost interest. “Ich habe es nicht gewusst” (I did not know that)was not accepted as an excuse in 1945 and will not do today either.

Today it came to light that both the Bush and Obama administrations have repeatedly violated the SOFA agreement after January 1, 2009, the date on which it defined more narrowly than the Geneva Convention alone what the occupying forces could and could not do. It came to light because El Maliki finally screwed up his courage and protested that the troops of the Obama administration had killed two Iraqis and arrested six others, all Shiites, without the asserted consent of his government. El Maliki called this a “criminal act”.

These events make it obvious that the Obama administration wipes its behind with the paper on which SOFA was printed and is likely to keep “combat soldiers” in Iraq cities after June 30, 2009 without asking the Iraq government for consent but rebaptize them as “trainers”.

There are also leaks that ll of the so-called “combat units” will not have left Iraq in August 2010 as Obama promised when he became President.

Ignore what Hillary Clinton says. Keep your checking of our 21st century Napoleon, nee Obama focused on what he actually commands. His Waterloo is around the corner!

Amen, beerdoc.  And the underlying message that the liberal press tries desperately to spin away is that we are not going anywhere.  We’ve invested too much in our Mesopotamian colony to walk away from it.

So long as Iraq elects the right people and behaves the right way, it will be granted a veneer of sovereignty.

And i’m sure that it is less lost on Iraqis than on Americans that Sec Clinton’s husband (and if i remember right it was a “co-presidency”) was responsible for 500,000 Iraqi deaths and the turning of the most modern ME society into a hell hole of disease and poverty.  I’m sure that they are charmed by her assurances…

It should always be remembered that Hillary Rodham Clinton as Senator from New York, spearheaded the drive to restock the Israeli government with cluster bombs, after Israel had spent their supply against southern Lebanon in 2006. The same Hillary Clinton who stated that if ever Iran foolishly attacked Israel with nuclear weapons, the U.S. would annihilate them.
And this woman is the Secretary of State? Her message to Iraq seems clear: do not worry you unworthy subjects, your king still loves you and will not abandon you… What a colonial crock.

Is it not paradoxical that those who REALLY wish Iraq well must applaud the expulsion (necessarily violent and deadly) of American interests?  Patriotic Iraqis have the duty to kill United Statesians, that their country be free of brutal occupation.
