To Georgie Bush, What happened?
Hey Georgie Boy, didn't you promise us that Iraq had tons and tons of Chemical, biological and nuclear weapons? I don't see where you found any yet. Maybe all them Shi'ites are in your way. Well move them out of the way! Tell them pilgrams to move it or loose it. You say there all over the place? How can that be, you just kicked some Iraqi butt didn't you! Didn't they see the Fox broadcasts?
Speaking of Iraqis, I heard you don't know how to stop all them Muslems from getting together. I saw Rummy say that those hundreds of thousands demonstrators could now get together by the grace of you Georgie.
The boys from your right wing conservative think tanks, the "Club for Growth", the "Heritage Foundation" and the Pentagon, get an "F" on this one. They thought their hand picked ex-Iraqi man, Ahmad Chalabi would get a lot of people behind him, I don't see any body on his side except the Kurds up north, Georgie, and that's not enough.
"The longer we stay, the more Iraqi nationalism will get organized and become a unifying force, which will be expressed in increasingly opposition to the American presence," said Anne-Marie Slaughter, dean of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. But the sooner we depart, the more of a mess we will leave behind, which could have the same result, as well as creating a power vacuum that anti-American forces could fill.
The long-standing links between the Shi'ite clerics emerging in leadership roles in southern Iraq and their fellow Shi'ites in Iran threatens to shorten your honeymoon partner, according to Joseph Braude, author of the recent book, "The New Iraq: Rebuilding the Country for Its People, the Middle East, and the World." Iran seems to have some influence over there and it seems the Iranian government would like to see a government of clerics take charge in Iraq. They look like they have more influence than you do Georgie boy. Rummy already said Iraq is free to form what ever government they want, except a theocracy, tell that to the mullahs Georgie. It looks like they are in charge, not your hand picked posse.
You will need to find and foster moderate Iraqi political forces to prevent it. I have no idea how you are going to do that. "There was no question of U.S. forces withdrawing from Iraq at least until it was sure it was leaving a viable state that had the ability to maintain its territorial integrity". Remember when you stated that goal. It was right after you lied to us about Iraq being involved in the WTC attacks. It could take years to build a new, ideologically revamped Iraqi army of perhaps 150,000, which would be the minimum needed to defend against a half million Iranian soldiers.
You also have to rebuild a legal framework that could help run a society based on the rule of law in which commercial life can operate, free of corruption. That means writing criminal and civil laws, recruiting police, judges, lawyers, prison administrators and eventually writing a constitution. At this point, no one knows who will do these things and when.
Many analysts, including Slaughter and Soderberg, believe that you will have no choice Georgie boy, but to swallow your reluctance to invite the United Nations to help share the task of running Iraq until sufficient physical, political and legal infrastructure is up and running. Suck it up George, even Hitler had to make compromises.
In the meantime, you and your ex-Iraqi buddies face lots of work ahead. How are you going to do this and convince the country you are working on the economy too, oh and don't forget Afganistan and Columbia and North Korea, and Syria! You've been a busy busy little boy haven't you George. You seemed to have stired up a lot of bee hives around the world. You aren't alergiic to bee stings are you.
