“The tyrant, who in order to hold his power, suppresses every superiority, does away with good men, forbids education and light, controls every movement of the citizens and, keeping them under a perpetual servitude, wants them to grow accustomed to baseness and cowardice, has his spies everywhere to listen to what is said in the meetings, and spreads dissension and calumny among the citizens and impoverishes them, is obliged to make war in order to keep his subjects occupied and impose on them permanent need of a chief.” – Aristotle

The permanent bases aren’t really permanent, they are just building to house our troops for 100 years.

UPdate:
TEHRAN, Iran – Iraq’s prime minister sought to ease Iranian fears over a proposed security deal with the U.S. Sunday, saying his government will NOT ALLOW Iraq to become a launching pad for an attack on its neighbor.

The only conceivable way that Iraq could make this assurance, is to get the US to agree NOT to conduct independent operations without the advice and consultation of the Iraqi government, and that has been a point of contention.( Note that the word PERMISSION is avoided)

Al-Maliki’s government has always been an ally of Tehran, and the Shiite and KURDISH parties that dominate it have long-standing close ties with the Iranian leadership.

Sounds like a real DILEMMA.

If your neighbor and his kids comes over, kicks the door open, destroys your furniture, shoots your dog, peels your cat and rolls it in salt, gang rapes your daughter, THEN moves his son and his college buddies into your upstairs master suite, makes your wife cook and clean – BUT pays you $35 a month RENT . . . do you REALLY have anything to complain about????

All the above comments are rather snarky. Where is the protest? Why is not everyone demanding answers to how this could be happening? We are becoming an empty society…just us and our keyboards. Let’s color the text messages in supercilious snark; and the smaller the screen the better. Any correlation between the text color and the Homeland Security terrorist warnings?

This sounds a lot like what happened in Cuba following the Spanish-American War. Ever hear of Gitmo?

I just found this interesting solution to the problem at:

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/6/7/195141/4543/996/531914

It would be an incredibly bold and effective move for Obama to come out now, before this thing gets through the Iraqi parliament, and state the following:

“President Bush is currently attempting to bypass the congressional authority over the ratification of foreign treaties in order to make permanent an unwanted occupation of the country of Iraq. Unwanted by Iraqis and unwanted by a majority of Americans. Therefore I will, on my first day of office, unsign any ‘Status of Forces’ agreement for Iraq that includes any demand for the continued presence of American forces in the country of Iraq. Any such agreement is a de facto treaty, and as such must be submitted to the United States Congress for ratification.”

Just in case anyone missed it. He had an article about how the Iraqis really feel.

So..IF they are going to be Iraq bases, the Iraq’s should PAY FOR THEM COMPLETELY .. THEN we could pay rent (right)…

the 7th – 12th century was the golden age of Islam with Baghdad a centrepiece of its power. How low these Arabs have become to allow the infidel americans to occupy their ancient and historical land and destroy its culture.

Lawrence of Arabia kicked the ottomans out of arabia. However, we are waiting for a latter-day Lawrence to kick the yanks out of the middle-east entirely as Bin_laden espouses. Of course, the arabs are too cowardly to take up arms and rid themselves of a tyrant let alone recognize this fact.

Just to flesh out the list, upside, it’s also the refuge of first resort for the pupp.. I mean freely elected government of Iraq. That’s where the pupp… I mean freely elected government will hide when the people of Iraq decide to deal with America’s pupp… I mean Iraq’s freely elected government according to their performance. I would be very surprised if Al-Maliki doesn’t have a nice villa just down in Paraguay.

Think your ISP is Watching?

How about you stop spamming.
Your “ISP watching” and “spying” claims cannot be fixed with your anonymizer, because when you connect on your isp you are assigned an ip address from them and they can packet trace you all day, if they have a reason to. The only way to keep your ISP from seeing what you do is by not ever connecting, dumbass.

So stop your false advertising and spamming.
