Revealed: Secret plan to keep Iraq under US control

Bush wants 50 military bases, control of Iraqi airspace and legal immunity for all American soldiers and contractors

A secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election in November.

The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.

But the accord also threatens to provoke a political crisis in the US. President Bush wants to push it through by the end of next month so he can declare a military victory and claim his 2003 invasion has been vindicated. But by perpetuating the US presence in Iraq, the long-term settlement would undercut pledges by the Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, to withdraw US troops if he is elected president in November.

The timing of the agreement would also boost the Republican candidate, John McCain, who has claimed the United States is on the verge of victory in Iraq – a victory that he says Mr Obama would throw away by a premature military withdrawal.

This astonishing, neo colonial insanity is also hinged on a huge blackmailing flanking maneauver, with a couple hundred billion being held hostage, as it were, unless the mealy, puppet Iraqi government signs off. Suffice to say, the Ziocons are determined to set their hooks as deeply as they can before the washout cleansing of the House, Senate, and Oval Office in November.

Die please

what, you 'tarded?

Oh good, so we're going to own Iraq officially now? Awesome.

To the inevitable bullshit "that's colonialism!" squeaking forthcoming: tough shit. The fucked up muds over there want nothing less than to make everyone in the west bow to the fucking rock in Mecca. Their aspirations are worse than ours. Our shameless resource grab makes practical sense. Their form of colonialism wants to make you go get on your knees and bow a bunch of times in the direction of a rock. The extra bonus is that when you do so in a mosque, you get some foul fucking mud monkey's ass and feet right in your face.

It is better to fight them and take the oil in the region than to capitulate and have a face full of dude dimehole and feet.

To those who oppose: eat a fucking lightbulb.

What's this "our" business?

Did you get a dividend cheque that nobody else knows about?

OUR- yes, that is proper usage. Personal pronoun plural. The war effort is a collective undertaking. Sure the fat cats get the lions share of the goods. Sure they benefit from the worker's surplus value. But it is an open system where anyone who isn't a feeb (and even some who are like Oprah) can become a fat cat himself, or a fatter one anyway. But better to live in the tyranny of the material than becoming some fucking idiotic robot who has to ask the Imam what to do if one gets a little pee on oneself.


You're obviously enamored of the idea of snuffling up close and intimate with dude dingleberries and toe jam.
Of course it is not my goal to enlighten you, but only to light you up you fucking substandard shit stain.

No - I just wanted to know which lefty rag you were reading. Figures you'd use the English slant.

Anyway - if it's true - it sucks. It would also be political suicide for the Republicans to let it go through.

The Limey's know ALL our secrets, Buttsy- specially the really, really, really, really secret secrets.

No, really...

Morty, have you by chance got a big ol' forearm-sized textured and heated electro-vibrolux gerbil-shaped dildo up your ass as you tap out such mewling jingoisms? What...are you trying to imitate? You're like babs/prick on a bender. Your comments are ludicrous. You'd shoot yourself in the foot if you had any ammo.

As for the audacious plans--long denied, obvious from the start--they've waited pretty much as long as they could. It's insane of course, but so has been everything else this unelected cabal/contagion has initiated or just caused by accident.

My thoughts on the matter are far greater that yours because of the simple fact that they arise from a place of honesty. Yeah, that's right you fucking retarded bullshit pimp. The world is mired in a zero-sum conflict on all sides. There is nothing but partisanship advocating one self-interest or another. YOU seek to advocate a side but have chosen to cloak your real intentions in the guise of perpetrating justice or fairness or other retarded rot. The mud trash is not a lot of pure victims. It is nothing but a large conglomerate of useless assholes. I can see why YOU sympathize with them.

WE kicked their ass and we're going to take their stuff? GOOD. Fuck them. I've already outlined their moronic plans for us, dipshit.

This is all I can think of when reading the title of this thread:

5 years of war. $4.00 a gallon gas.

...and if you're not getting rich from this occupation, it's your own fault, 'cause you're an idiot.

Gotcha.

Airspace over Iraq has been "secured" since 1991.

Iran doesn't have to do shit. Americans are doing their damned finest to hand over power to pro-Iranian forces (Badr Corps...Maliki...) to the delight of the ayatollahs.

Remember that purple finger election bullshit? Yeah, Iran won.

Suck it, babs, the plan for permanent bases and so forth in Iraq is being endorsed by Malaki this very day, you pathetic Rove Monkey.

Directly related, underlying criminal motives, etc.

Get to it, MaryRed and LTS TRouNced.

What the fuck are you talking about?

See, that's what I'm talking about, screwdriver. You're so fake--and hollow, you've forgotten to in any way back up any of your tedious mouthings--that folks are confused. Like you when you look at your dick and ask...what's that supposed to do? Now go 'way.
