Shocking revelation
James Woolsey, PNAC member, on Hardball saying that he sees no reason why the US military shouldn't stay in Iraq with a few bases here and there to respond to any problems that should arise in the future...as long as the new Iraqi government will allow it of course.

2. I'm shocked, shocked.
We're still in Germany, Okinawa, South Korea and Saudi Arabia.

What else do you expect?

3. We're not in Saudi Arabia anymore
we moved out and set up the bases in Iraq instead.

Just one more of OBL's demands that W has willingly complied with.

7. the insipid chimp and his minions
NEED bin Ladin.

they adore bin Ladin. bin Ladin fuels and legitimizes their agenda of FEAR, HATE and IGNORANCE

hard to beat that FEAR drum without that bloodthirsty brown-skinned MONSTER under the bed.

as long as bushco is in power, OBL will remain 'at large' (even if he died years ago)

8. I believe we still have a small footprint
But we were there for 12 years, anyway. Over 50 years for the others...

9. Don't you think it's better we're out of Saudi Arabia?
Seems like the fewer connections we have with that country, the better.

15. I guess it will make it easier
to invade Saudi Arabia later on? Nothing like taking back a country that you already had your forces in anyway?

Iraq puppet they tell us is in charge.

16. Well, they're building a huge new American "embassy"
in what was the palace in Baghdad. Seems as though they're planning a huge presence there for some time to come.
