Col Macgregor vs. Bush Administration Iraq Scam, Part 1

The highlights of U.S. Army retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor blowing-the-whistle before the House Oversight Committee on Bush administration corruption to sneak in language damning American Soldiers to prop up an Islamic factionocracy regime in Iraq-- that the people of Iraq don't want--that looks the other way as U.S. corporations plunder their oil and squeeze "protection" money from the American tax payers. This is better than any Tom Clancy novel; its real-life drama and moral courage from a real American military professional and scholar.

House Oversight Committee: U.S. Policy Toward Iraq; February 7, 2008

The Bush Administration--behind the back of the U.S. Congress--signs agreements with puppet, non-democratic, Moslem Shia factionocracy Al-Maliki regime to defend them from internal rivals and outside threats to beholden the U.S. stay in Iraq permanently so favored corporations can make money off their oil resources and gullible U.S. taxpayers paying them for "security" services. A U.S. capitalist (neocon) version of the Soviet Communists forcing others to stay in the Warsaw Pact at gunpoint. Dr. Macgregor and legal experts show that a Status Of Forces (SOFA) Agreement is NOT a defense treaty but a U.S. employee overseas behavior/disciplinary arrangement; exposing the Bush administration's scam for trying to back-door without Congressional approval--a permanent U.S. occupation of Iraq by sneaking such wording into a place where it doesn't belong and might not be detected by public oversight. The whole world now knows of this ploy.

The International Organizations, Human Rights, and Oversight Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee held a hearing titled "The November 26 Declaration of Principles: Implications for U.N. Resolutions on Iraq and for Congressional Oversight." Witnesses testified about the nature of the long-term relationship with Iraq proposed by the administration. Topics included whether such an agreement was a status of forces agreement or a defense treaty that would require congressional approval.

The subcommittee will also hear additional testimony from a military expert on status of forces agreement and from lawyers who are experts on international agreements and the approval process, within both the executive and the Congress, for various types of such agreements.
