Colonel Jack Jacobs, U.S. Army (Retired), on Bush in Iraq

Using the troops for political purposes, Bush flies to Iraq on Labor Day, a day on which presidents typically honor America's work force at home. The biggest PR stunt of his administration, the most criminal regime in the history of the United States, Bush lies to them and the American people, yet again, "We're fighting them over here so we don't have to fight them back home." Jack Jacobs doesn't go nearly far enough in his criticism of Bush. Bush's war in Iraq can't continue because there aren't enough troops, enough money or enough time. It would take a draft, an increase in taxes to support just an increased war effort, for another 9-10 years. It would end all government services in America, and would require an increase in an already out-of-control military budget to protect and defend corporate interests in foreign lands for corporations' (CEOs' and shareholders') interests and not average American citizens. That's the New World Order Bush's father talked about. Bankrupt, we (America) become like the third world nations which are indebted to the IMF and World Bank. Our resources (oil, lumber, water) get sold to nations with money and which hold our debt (like China and Saudi Arabia), the profits enjoyed by multinational corporations and not the American people. It's already happening.
