Even after we “withdraw” america will still have 50,000 troops in Iraq as trainers. Once the US invades a country they do not leave. There are still US troops in Japan and Korea and Germany. The wars old history.

As long as Iraq has oil there will be US troops there to make sure things go the right way.

If only that money could be used to solve the problems here that so badly need solving! It will never happen of course. The very real needs of the “little people” are ignored so the wants of corporate puppet masters and the obscenely rich can be met.

I nominate the pit bull as the USA’s official mascot:
Bred to fight, jaws lock when latched onto prey.
Our USA soldiers & mercenaries strut around like rabid pit bulls, straining at the leash to
kill, kill, kill, while defenceless civilians do their best to avoid all contact.

Animal lovers say pitbulls don’t deserve the bad rep, may be not, but USA soldiers are enlisted in a killing machine, where disobeying orders can get you killed.

Wagelaborer, America, once it gets its fangs into another country, does not relinquish its prize easily. It is less inclined to do so if the country has lots of oil and is a basket case politically!

Countries of the world: Beware of Americans spreading ‘democracy’!

I have my doubts that the explosions are Iraqi made.

The US doesn’t want to leave Iraq. As soon as the bombings started, the talk started about how Iraq is too unstable for the US to depart.

Really? Isn’t that convenient? Isn’t that suspicious?

Grace, the ultimate irony is that 90,000 U.S. troops remain in Iraq. The depleted uranium that has been used affects Iraqis AND Americans alike.

What army would do things that negatively affect their own troops? Americans of course! They are crazy.

” Iraq: Will It Ever Recover?”

No.

The depleted Uranium is a gift that will keep on giving. The half life is a billion years (something like that). Deformed babies are showing up wherever America had its presence felt and known.

America will “never” leave. They have built the largest Emerald Zone that can be seen from outer space.

Like the pallet of a billion dollars US cash that was earmarked for Iraqi reconstruction – that disappeared. Like the museums that were looted, an entire history of humanity stripped while we guarded the Oil . USA allowed the worst unspeakable atrocities to happen to the Iraqi people. The Iraqis are screwed, blew’d and tattoo’d.

It seems only “God” can help them now!!

Why doesn’t the U.S. stop creating immense problems for other nations and the world and, instead, try to fix up the huge problems which exist in its own country?

i don’t have the answer to that other than to say- somebody profits from it somewhere….
