OUR IMPERIOUS GOVERNMENT

A while back I know I told you about the Taj Mahal-type American Embassy we are building in Baghdad and since then I have wondered why hasn’t anyone of importance written more about it. Not because of what I wrote, but because of what I read.

It’s a multi-billion dollar, self-contained city that is as big as Vatican City. This along with 15 self-contained military pods that our government is building will be able to support as many as 30 to 50 thousand U.S. troops for a long time, probably 20 or so years. “Think of it as Viet Nam,” said Bush

This stealth Embassy will cost the U.S. taxpayer a billion dollars a year with its main objective to preserve U.S. economic interests in Iraq’s oil.

Does this sound like we are ever going to leave Iraq?

In the last election the Americans told the government that we wanted our troops out of Iraq, but no one in the chain of command seemed to be listening and it doesn’t seem that any plans have been made for us to leave.

If the Bush Bunch can manage to establish a permanent presence in Iraq, to protect our oil interests, Congress is going to find it near impossible to force a withdrawal of our fighting troops as the Pentagon has no plans for totally withdrawing.Ever!

Last year Congress voted to add an amendment to a bill that would declare that America could not create permanent bases in Iraq. To the surprise of not too many, this declaration did not end up in the final bill.

Does this sound like we are ever going to leave Iraq?
