3. Iraq is disintegrating
...and on the verge of total chaos. McCain tonight, our chairman of the Armed Services subcommittee peddled distressing spin on what is going on in Iraq and Pakistan. All spin disconnected from reality. Creating "democracy" in Iraq will solve middle eastern problems. "Attacks on Americans going down. Heartened by Pakistans cooperation. If we get on with the "peace process" in Israel, our popularity will improve." (paraphrased)

Attacks on Americans continue. The attempts to minimize the significance of American dead and wounded continue. Those in Iraq regardless of national identity who cooperate with Americans are killed. Civilians and contractors are free fire zones. The slaughter hasn't abated. Anarchy prevails. McCain acts as if killing those who cooperate with the occupation forces is of no significance to the alleged policy goal of creating "democracy" in Iraq.

Our regime paid hundreds of millions to buy the latest media show on "the capture al Zwahiri" in Pakistan. F-16s, money, and dropping the military embargo for our new "major ally," Pakistan, the military proliferator of terrorism and nuclear weapons.

Oh yeah, the world is safer. But remember the militarists rubric, it's a dangerous world! So we are spending hundreds of billions we don't have on defense contractors while junta policies fail abroad.
