When Bush’s Neo-cons spent the first 2 months trying to find the WMDs they neglected to secure the Iraqi ammo dumps . The Neo-cons are responsible for this.  CHEESE DICKS!!!

This field of play was chosen for many reasons, but primary among them was
that the Afghans would fight back, and the war could last a long tome. All that
really matters is that it provides for many years a new host for the feeding
frenzy of the corporations and bureaucracies, the war profiteers and the aid
programs. Aid industry and UN bureaucrats are every bit as much a part of the
occupation program as the soldiers, for they make it possible to carry on with
the ludicrous myth that all of these these people who know nothing about the
place are there with some constructive purpose. Young Afghans working for
the foreigners invariably wear Western clothing, and Westerners with long
experience in Afghanistan hired by the UN when they moved in en masse in
late 2001 and early 2002 were told to stop wearing Afghan clothing and to
shave their beards off. The whole gang of foreigners are there to dominate the
country, destroy its culture and turn its citizens into consumers and workers in
open pit mines and on gas pipelines.

This was from the beginning a mass invasion of Europeans and Americans and
their followers, all dead set on destroying the last vestiges of tribal culture,
people living free from the industrial mono-culture who wanted nothing to do
with it. This is the same program as wiping out the tribes of the American
plains so that developers, mining companies, and the railroads could have a
field day, but this time Little Big Horn is the real flashback. A land war in Asia
is a far larger problem than wiping out a few aboriginals, for when push comes
to shove the Afghans have a long and successful history of dealing with
invading empires, and there are millions of fellow tribesmen on the other side
of borders on all sides, borders they do not believe in, borders put there to
divide and conquer by colonial armies. The Americans are come-lately
barbarians, like the Mongols, from the far fringe of nowhere with better
mobility and weapons but not a clue concerning culture or history or
civilization. Eventually the Afghans will win as they always do in time.

America will stumble soon. During American war games a few years ago the
simulated Iranians sunk the entire US fleet in the gulf during the opening hours
of the war, and they had to start everything over again. The ISI could deliver a
nuclear punch anywhere if pushed too far. Financial games could shake the
order of things again or an earthquake of some sort in China could halt their
buying of American debt. America is way over stretched, and once hit, who are
her real friends, the Germans and the Japnaese, the Philippines and Latin
America?

The Afghans are going to have the honor of bringing down The Great Satin. As
he pop song says “the Whore of Babylon….she breaks, she breaks.” This will
complete the hat trick for the Afghans: three empires in two cenuries, one of
them twice. So, stop all this unseemly scramble to save the American Republic
from its folly. Let the Afghans have their glory and the Church its complicity
with torture. Stop fighting a losing battle with history and start to enjoy the
spectacle. Work to save the Jews from their own folly once again. Has America
come back one inch toward sanity on any issue since the baby boomers were
protesting Vietnam?  Let it go. America has gone well on beyond farce,
exponentially increasing debt will crash America soon, and all those freeways
will be a wasteland. All intelligent Americans can do at this point in time is help
their friends and children get away, at least into rural places if not to Canada or
abroad. This baby is going to blow.

Today as I watch a hurricane approaching I remember Hurricane Hazel. Those
big storms are real for me. This political one heading toward the USA is real for
me too. I have already moved out, and I know several Jewish friends who have
moved already too and several more who have been talking about it.

I am in Baghdad right now.  I don’t know of many “patriotic” Iraqis.  I have had 2 different Iraqis tell me this week that America should just drop the bomb and kill all the Iraqis.  Both said they are ashamed to be from Iraq.  Many here believe in the idea that the only way to hold power is through violence.  I don’t know what could change that kind of inbred meme in a culture such as this.

When will we adopt a policy of “Get the heck outta Dodge” ? 
  Never should have gone there.  Never should have stayed. 
  Rather than declaring “victory” or “mission accomplished”, just do what business types do:  send out a memo to all employees (citizens) that “This project is over budget and past all deadlines; therefore it is declared complete and thus being abandoned”.

Gee whiz, Iraqis don’t like being invaded, occupied, and having their society reduced to ashes?  Wow!!  Do you think patriotic Iraqis, their families decimated or annihilated by American violence, have a duty to kill Americans until we go away?  If you think this or Afghanistan is winnable, read Dexter Filkins’s “The Forever War.”

It’s not a “war” in any traditional sense of the word, and it’s not “winnable” because there is nothing there to win. It’s one part stupidity, one part ego and one part believing that we can gain control of their huge, untapped oil reserves. We ain’t ever going to gain control of anything in that country, and Bush’s ego has been removed from the picture, so it’s all pure stupidity now…..
