Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Blair, modern 'Christian' 'liberators'.

American air strikes killed more than 70 people in western Iraq,
including dozens of women and children, witnesses said yesterday.
Staff at a hospital in Ramadi, a provincial capital west of Baghdad,
said they treated numerous civilians injured in Sunday's bombing of
two nearby villages. Television pictures showed women and children
among bandaged patients. The US military confirmed that warplanes
and helicopters had fired missiles and killed more than 70 people
but said the dead were 'insurgents' engaged in operations.

Bush continues to destroy Iraqi cities and towns and so continues
to kill large numbers of civilians, which fact will drastically
increase the Iraqi resistance.

Hidden behind false news about sham elections, the gory violence by
illegal invaders continues unabated. Nowhere in the mass media are
we shown the destroyed cities and the mangled bodies. Of course there
are thousands of satellite pictures available at the Pentagon but
none will ever be shown by the manipulators. If these were only
shown for a week, it would halt Bush's disastrous and immoral and
illegal wars. We don't know so we don't have to worry. And the
criminal wars can continue.

Bushius Scoundrellius Fascistus and Blairius Oilius BPrittanicus
launched two neo-colonial wars on impoverished Muslim countries:

The first one on Afghanistan (October 2001) and the second one on
Iraq (March 2003), both countries more than 8,000 miles away from
our shores. That is not self-defense, that must be obvious.

Two global war crimes, two strategic blunders, also in the end two
colossal failures: Both could last for a decade or more.

And the cost in lives, money and peace will be astronomical.
A decade of occupation and bombing and killing ---- so much for
'liberation'. Both wars will wear us out through grinding but
persistent and fierce Muslim resistance. So our bleeding (in
dollars and dead and wounded) and the victims bleeding in Afghanistan
and Iraq will slowly but surely increase.

And it will continue for years. As in Vietnam.
With no end in sight. But as the Russians after a decade of mass
murder had to leave Afghanistan so will we have to leave. It is just
a matter of time. The same in Iraq. It is just a matter of time.

Superpowers cannot win asymmetric occupier-type colonial wars in
countries where they are hated and which culture, religion and
language they do not understand ---- unless they opt for total
annihilation and destruction. Even total annihilation is no
victory. It is really total failure, total immorality.

Both wars are lost because time and people are not on our side.
Dollars and firepower are, but time, people and their will are not.
So hell will certainly slowly increase in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
It is sad to say that there does not seem to be a 'nice' solution
or exit strategy for the neo-colonial wars on Afghanistan and
Iraq. Since March 2003, in a mere two years, over 180,000 Iraqis
have been killed. And the number is probably much higher, as nobody
can or will keep count amidst the mounting chaos and violence.

Bush got the US and UK trapped in two quagmires, out of sheer arrogance
and stupidity. Bush Sr. (who started an illegal war on Iraq in 1991 and
massacred over 50,000 Iraqis in less than a week) warned against going
to Baghdad: 'We should not get ourselves into a quagmire in a bitterly
hostile land'. His incompetent son and neo-Nazi Cheney got us into it.

In my opinion Bush, Cheney and Blair started the Iraq war with the main
target Iraq's oil riches. Many people discard this but they do not
understand the long-term geopolitical and economic power derived from
control or even partial control of Iraq's oil.
Iraq's proven reserves are 110 billion barrels, with an estimated
additional reserves of 220 billion barrels, and possibly much much
more. To get this in perspective, US total reserves including
Alaska and offshore are less than 28 billion barrels.

Assume over the next 4 decades an average price per barrel of $80
(a very low estimate) and assume oil firms can extract an average
of $16 profit per barrel from it, that means (110+220) x 16 =
$5,280 billion = over $ 5 trillion in profits !! (not sales) over
the next 40 years. That is over $132 billion in profits (not sales)
per year to US and UK oil companies. In addition, construction and
weapons companies can expect billions of new sales = more recycled
dollars. So the potential total profits from Iraq are in the $130-
$200 billion per year range, profits all going to large private
companies, while the cost of the war $80-100 billion per year will
be paid by taxpayers. So the taxpayers will be $100 billion per year
poorer while the large companies will be up to $200 billion per year
richer (if the murderous plans work).

A real classic rip-off of the lower and middle classes.
Over $132 billion in extra-profits per year, that is an unbelievable
huge amount. No wonder Wall Street was eager for this new fix, this
new shot in the arm. As a dope addict, it needed a huge new money
cycle, and new highs. Instead of pulling the economic rug from under
countries such as Thailand, Argentina, etc., as was done in the
past for a quick new 'fix', a war (getting the oil in Iraq under
control again) could provide a much bigger and longer-during fix.

That is the main prize Bush/Cheney and Blair were after. In addition,
some of the oil money would go directly to Iraq, of course. Money
they would need to spend on reconstruction, new weapons, new
infrastructure. This would mean many more billions recycled to
western companies.

So Bush is investing $80-100 billion a year in taxpayer money and
killing 100,000 Iraqis every two years with it, to get
trillions of dollars of profits to giant companies and Wall Street
over the coming decades. It is rigged but the scale is so grandiose,
millions do not realize and understand it. It is simple: Wars are
big business and for big business. Not for the people, not for
democracy, not for peace, not for prosperity and justice for all.

Of course there were several other objectives for the wars:

Military bases in the Middle East to replace the ones in Saudi
Arabia, help Israel against one enemy and then later against Iran,
try to take the pressure off Israel's problem with the Palestinians,
and as part of a much larger neocon plan to 'reshape' the Middle East.

That of course also includes access to the oil and gas, the pipelines
and the infrastructure - very close by - in the Caspian region.

The war on Afghanistan (another related story about the Caspian region)
and Iraq are both imperialist wars = war crimes and huge mistakes.

As Bush is now trapped: He cannot win, he cannot leave, he cannot
lose face, he cannot give up the oil wealth, not to Iraq or to other
countries (Russia, France, China, etc.), he will escalate and
destroy. However the more he destroys, the more his war will
fall apart and the more the resistance in Iraq and in many other
Muslim countries will grow. The more the resistance grows, the more
of our soldiers will die, the more billions the war will siphon
off, the more 'terrorist' attacks all over the world will happen.

In a nutshell, Bush and Blair should never have started their wars.
So Bush's escalation will cost tens of thousands of Iraqi lives and
many more US and UK soldiers will die. The escalation will be mainly
by bombing from afar and from the air, so the destruction in Iraq
and the number of deaths of civilians will be huge.

To keep control and keep access to the oil this could last for
a decade or more. The total death toll could then reach 300,000 -
600,000 (yes, that high, or even more if we count death from
diseases, epidemics, lack of medical care, poverty, murder, etc.)
If he leaves immediately, Iraq will implode/explode and thousands of
Iraqis will also die. That could pull in Turkey, Iran and others.

It could escalate into a real civil war between Kurds, Shiites and
Sunnis, with many more outsiders involved. A quagmire that can last
for a decade or more and could cost hundreds of thousands of lives.
What state will then emerge is anybody's guess but it could well be
a very chaotic or despotic state.

In both cases the destruction will be horrible. The lives of
ordinary Iraqis will be horrible. Even if it stabilizes after a
decade, the poverty and misery may last for another decade or longer.
The conclusion is that Bush and Blair should never have started this
criminal war. Because there was never a 'nice' solution, only war,
destruction and many more dead and injured people.

This may sound like doomsday predictions. But the situation is a
deepening quagmire and disaster, it is very dire. The spin we hear
from the Bush-Cheney regime are all lies. The elections are a sham
and although they are promising it will be better after the election,
it is a big lie. It will get much worse.

Leaving Iraq as soon as possible therefore is the 'best choice'
of two bad choices. Iraq and its oil for Iraqis,
not for western robber nations. Maybe with UN and international
help (not US, not UK), despite a horrible decade of coming civil war,
Iraq can stabilize and be in charge of its own country and oil.

However Bush and Cheney will not leave. That is the big problem.
The only superpower in the world cannot face or admit defeat or
mistakes. They cannot give up on the oil and the bases and their
other imperialistic plans for the Middle East.

However if they cannot win, they will escalate the destruction, as
in Vietnam. Out of spite and revenge. They would rather destroy,
as in Vietnam, than leave and allow other countries to get their
access to the oil and make money from it.

So I am sad to say, we are in for much more killing, one way or
the other. And the most likely direction is much more killing by
Western occupiers US and UK, from the air. After Fallujah and
after Bush's re-election, many more cities were attacked by fighter
bombers, AC-130 gunships, tanks and attack helicopters.

Tal Afar is another gruesome example of invaders destroying
more cities in a land they claim to be liberating.
If you see a resistance fighter, you destroy the building from afar.
That is the American way, the occupier way. Very similar to
the Israeli way in Gaza and the West Bank. Very similar occupier
brutality to suppress the population. The same will happen
on a smaller scale in Afghanistan. Everybody is fooled in believing
Afghanistan is stable. It is not. Hell is still coming there too,
again. The violence after 4 years is now escalating.

It will not stop after the coming sham elections. On the contrary.
And Rumsfeld knows it. That's why he wants NATO to now completely
take over the debacle.

So the US and UK will abandon 'liberating' Iraq and Afghanistan
(it was a lie to begin with).
Instead they will shift to permanent occupation of Iraq and most
likely much more destruction to control and crush and pacify them.
In addition they will pit Kurds and Shiites against Sunnis, and have
Iraqis kill Iraqis (as in Vietnam), which will sow much more hatred
and killing over the coming years. In addition, they will build 14
military bases. From which they can continue to bomb and strafe
Iraqis in their own country. And maybe others in neighboring
countries. They will try the same in Afghanistan.

If there is a problem, you bomb. No matter how many civilians you
kill in the process, no matter how much additional hate you generate.
It is telling that the following question is never asked in the mass
media about Iraq: Who really are the Iraqi forces that are being
trained? Who really are the officers?

From the fact that it is never discussed, we can already

conclude it must be mainly Kurds and Shiites: Being pitted against
Sunnis = planting the seeds for civil war. It is never discussed.
Because the strategy is utter foolishness.

That is why I condemn Bush-Cheney-Blair's illegal and immoral and
ill-conceived wars absolutely.

They will always fabricate more or different lies or justifications.
They will always find reasons to order other attacks.
They will always find an excuse to blame somebody else, such as the
Iranians, or Syrians, or 'foreign fighters', or 'thugs'.

They will always try to scare us into supporting them via more
fabricated international or domestic threats of 'terrorism'.
Terrorism they did not solve but really escalated on their own,
by launching horribly destructive imperialist wars on impoverished
Muslim countries. They went amok and their hubris will backfire.

That is why we must continue our protests.
That is why I agree with Kofi Annan, Stephen Hawking and Pope
John Paul and many others that so-called 'pre-emptive' wars are wars
of aggression, and really neo-colonial wars, and therefore illegal
and criminal under international law and standards.

Because Bush and Blair launched illegal wars that will cost
hundreds of thousands of lives, no matter if they now leave Iraq or
not, they must be seen as modern-day state-sanctioned mass murderers -
in business suits. That sounds crass but it is the sad truth.

It is a sad time for the world. As most Germans did not resist
Hitler, most Americans do not resist Bush. Because they do not
believe or cannot fathom they have a mass murderer on their hands.
It will be a wonderful day if mass murderers change their ways and
suddenly start working for peace instead of waging wars.
However I am not counting on that, not at all.

As Bush has shown many times: He will never admit to mistakes or
crimes. He is a mental case who just cannot get himself to admit to
failure, he will always deny, very much the same as an alcoholic
is always in denial, that is Bush's liar-pathology. And he will
still insist that God is on his side. So he must continue:

Continue on his path of death and destruction. Psychologically and
politically there is no way out and no other option for him.
Continue in Afghanistan and in Iraq. And in other Muslim countries.

Bush 'mis-underestimated' the furor and resistance he created in the
Muslim world as well as in the rest of the world.
Bush never understood the power of Islam and nationalism combined.
Bush never understood the world's desire for peace and cooperation.
Pathological arrogance combined with the ignorance of ideologues
got us engaged and then trapped in two global crimes and disasters.

Time will tell how bad these will be, for all of us but especially for
the victims.
