Blaming the Iraqis
Excerpt:
Bush is raising troop levels in Iraq and blaming Iran for Iraq’s problems.

The Bush administration tried to get away with accusing the Iranian political leadership of providing
armor-penetrating explosives to Shi’ite militias in Iraq, but when Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs,
said he saw no evidence of such leadership involvement, the administration quickly backpedaled.

Of course, if the Iranian leaders aren’t providing such materials and training to Shi’ite militias in Iraq,
one should wonder why not. One might forgive even the despotic tyrants in Iran for being a little nervous.

Troops from the hostile government of the United States have invaded and occupied countries on both sides
of Iran—Afghanistan and Iraq. If a hegemonic foreign power had invaded Mexico, who would doubt that the
United States would aid Mexican resistance?


Iraq never asked to be invaded.
Iraq never asked to be occupied.
Bush turned a not-good situation into the world's worst hell hole.
