This administration has lost ALL credibility

Sestak has some very good things to say about how to get out of Iraq and what should happen with the Iraqis fighting against each other for power but the fact of the matter is that Bush did go into Iraq for the Oil. Bush did lie to the American people knowingly about yellow cake and weapons of mass destruction. Bush has squandered American lives, money and prestige in this folly! There is very little interests for those who are behind this grab for oil to see that Iraq is stable and operating in the interests of the Iraqi people. The war will go on, the oil will be extracted and the American people will be poorer for it.
This neocon fascist wet dream will rebound on the American people in the form of decreased personal security. There will be those late night knocks on the door and Americans carted off to detention to disappear under the label terrorists.
It is not good enough to allow the destruction of the Constitution that is going on under this administration to continue. This administration and future administrations continuing this fascist direction must be fought tooth and nail. The writing is on the wall, so, take a good hard look because the new nazi empire is upon us!

Antonia Juhasz, author of â€œThe Bush Agenda,â€ wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times on March 13:

â€œThe Iraq National Oil Company would have exclusive control of just 17 of Iraqâ€™s 80 known oil fields, leaving two-thirds of knownâ€”and all of its as yet undiscoveredâ€”fields open to foreign control,â€ Juhasz wrote. â€œThe foreign companies would not have to invest their earnings in the Iraqi economy, partner with Iraqi companies, hire Iraqi workers or share new technologies. . . The international oil companies could also be offered some of the most corporate-friendly contracts in the world.â€

So bothered by this is the Bush Administration that it ordered U.S. fighter jets to circle over and buzz the demonstrators, according to labor journalist David Bacon.

Cheney’s Energy Task Force in March 2001 divided up Iraq into “exploration blocks”. Link shows map obtained by Judicial Watch showing oilfields and the “blocks”.

PNAC said we must take that part of the world because of the oil and natural gas. Remember, only the OIL Ministry was protected from looters.

Could someone explain to me why the sovereign nation of Iraq (as proclaimed by both Shrub and Iraq) would give up the keys to the gold mine ?

Bush’s Iraq strategy has changed. The American people are ahead of their representatives…they want OUT of IRAQ.
Bush’s previous strategy was.. Victory First.
Now Bush’s strategy is …WE ARE GETTING OUT. Just not as fast as the critics demand.
This is a strategy to stall the inevitable, and dump the war in the Democrats lap next year.
The viet nam war was a disaster for America and its military…but it was A HUGE SuCCESS for the republicans. Even though Nixon’s flawed plans resulted in our less than victorius pullout, the Democrats got the blame for being weak , and anti-military. This resulted in Republicans winning the whitehouse for all but 8 years since 1980.
They are planning the same strategy with Iraq.
And as far as the oil deal goes…NO OTHER middle east country has an arrangement like the one proposed for Iraq. I think I know why.

Why do you think Cheney wants to keep the “Energy Task Force” participants and what their discussions were a secret? They were planning the war! They wanted to, first, invade and therefore disrupt the flow of oil which would and did raise the prices, and then ultimately get control over the oil so they can control the price of oil forever (and so far the war is going great for them!).

Many blogs were warning these Blue Dogs that they were handing Bush more than he requested. They have de facto authorized all the illegalities that Bush was guilty of. Six months is too long to correct this mistake. They should have READ the damn bill before rushing to pass it. Bush is great at dissembling and crying ‘Hurry, hurry.” It’s all a game and he’s winning.

Sestak is right the progress in Anbar predates the surge. Neo-cons like to cite it as progress as there is no other progress to cite. The most recent violence in Iraq betrays the alleged progress cited by O’Hanlon and Pollack and other war supporters. The lack of political progress means the surge hasn’t worked the way Bush said it would.

No US oil company should profit from the oil revenues. All the profits must go to the Iraqis themselves. The Bush administration should stay out of the oil law. It is up to the Iraqis to decide how the revenues should be distributed among the different ethnic groups.

â€œI believe that the decision to invade Iraq and the post-invasion management of that country were among the largest foreign-policy mistakes in the history of our nation. I voted against them, and I still think they were the right votes,â€ Baird said in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C

All he really said was adults will have to take over for the Boy Emperor and fix the mess he made.

Congressman Baird sees need for longer U.S. role in Iraq

http://www.theolympian.com/news/story/192500.html

U.S. Rep. Brian Baird said Thursday that his recent trip to Iraq convinced him the military needs more time in the region, and that a hasty pullout would cause chaos that helps Iran and harms U.S. security. “I believe that the decision to invade Iraq and the post-invasion management of that country were among the largest foreign-policy mistakes in the history of our nation. I voted against them, and I still think they were the right votes,” Baird said in a telephone interview from Washington, D.C. “But we’re on the ground now. We have a responsibility to the Iraqi people and a strategic interest in making this work.” Baird, a five-term Democrat, voted against President Bush ordering the Iraq invasion â€” at a time when he was in a minority in Congress and at risk of alienating voters. He returned late Tuesday from a trip that included stops in Israel, Jordan and Iraq, where he met troops, U.S. advisers and Iraqis, whose stories have convinced him that U.S. troops must stay longer.

Whether or not Mr P=Liberator=Tha Dawg doesn’t matter. All 3 are POs.

Seeing as getting “tutored” worked for That Dawg (made him smart enough to NOT show up in Austin…), perhaps Mr P and Libbie-rator would benefit from it too! Jes’ sayin’…

This is as funny as Mr P’s classic “Saudis ain’t Moslems”…
