We are not leaving Iraq.

The repudiation of civilization in the cradle of civilization goes on. Slaughter in Haditha. Young American men beheaded.
The neo-cons did a horrible thing when they lied to us and created a war in Iraq. Iraqi and American families grieve everyday now.

This is a war of choice.
It did not need to happen.

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney with the help of their waterboys in congress in the media ARE NEVER, EVER GOING TO LEAVE IRAQ.
Ever. Nor are they ever going to tell us the true reasons for the Iraq war.
Unless and until this war is framed in its true context we cannot even have the proper argument about it. That context is this: The invasion of Iraq was executed to control the oil and to set up an enduring American military presence in the Middle East - to control oil.
Also, until Americans understand that our way of life is utterly and completely dependent on oil that we DO NOT HAVE and we change things at home - then resource wars in places like Iraq are inevitable. Lying to us about the true reasons for these wars are inevitable.

The price of oil is extremely high.
