Muqtada al Sadar has stepped up, with a DEMAND and is not stepping back

And Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki is too weak to stand up to this strong man

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Now the TRUTH of it is out in the open, it’s either the Prime Minister, or the Imam, this is no choice, neither is preferable, either will cause disharmony for the country as a whole.

Here’s the twist, The US’s main interest now, is in keeping the OIL from falling into, or coming under the control of a strong, or weak leadership, not friendly to the US. And Bush still says; “we will win, if we don’t quit,” and “we have no choice, but too stay,” my only question is: stay and what? Kill our way to being right, or correct, kill our way out is all that’s left and we must find an acceptable exit.

It’s the naked truth, we see in Iraq today, with Muqtada announcement too Maliki, he had better not meet with Bush and the truth is, it’s a lost cause and the Militia’s and clannish gangs have grown too strong and socked away untold tons of weapons and have dug in for the long haul and finish, we can not arrest, or even kill Muqtada and Maliki is to weak to act, the Iraq Army is not reliable and the both sets of Police, are full of sectarian clannish, Hatfield’s and McCoy’s.

There is no real allegiance to any Government, in Iraq and Maliki is seen by the militants, as a puppet, so the US Styled elections have failed, the parliament has failed and Iran and Syria are salivating. Bush & Cheney and the Neo-Cons have drawn America into a war, that ONLY the PRIVATEERS PROFITING FROM PILLAR TO POST, have made off like bandits and FAT RATS and are leaving Iraq, in droves, America is in an untenable position, where we can not win an outright battle.

The civilian population is scared to death and wants the Americans to get killed and leave, now that’s not a good position to be in, when the children are the only ones who don’t hate you were in an exposed position, the Iraqi men smile at you and the women ignore you, unless they want you to save a loved one, caught is a crossfire, or in the line of fire and wounded, but any thing other than medical care, or water, or immediate protection, they want Americans gone and the few who want us to stay, are too afraid to make there wishes known, publicly.

Now Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld have so badly miss handled and messed up Iraq, there is no hope of winning the populace over to Democracy, much less beating, or tamping down, the Civil War.

More troops was maybe the right move, at the beginning and maybe even as late as two or three years ago, but today, it’s a meat grinder and we can throw more troops into Iraq, only retreat and re-group, it would take ½ million men to tamp down the Civil war and another 150,000 in support troops and facilities to house all these new troops, is none existent and takes time to build and we would have to take sides, in the CIVIL WAR and that would be pouring gasoline on the whole miserable situation.Bush has to be made to answer for this and the entire Congress, especially the Republicans who enabled this boy king, with no clothes, who kept forcing the Generals to stay the course. Bush never gave them what they needed from the start to WIN. But first we have figure out how to get our treasures out of Harms way and while were figuring, we have to find a way, not to leave a stronghold for terrorist, with an unlimited source of MONEY…OIL.

The Moral Questions, We can’t win and we can’t leave

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Who’s going to be the last to die, for Bush’s WAR? This is a horrific question and terrible position to be in and America has to ask and answers, the hard questions and the only way to ask and answer, is to have the truth of why are we there? Who profited from the Iraq war? Who is quietly leaving Iraq? And who was in Iraq and avoided all the past, absolutely criminal lack of oversight and scrutiny? And who is being covered for today?

These are a few of the questions that need to be ask and answered by the American electorate. A Democratic Congress, is just getting started, there will be questions ask and information, painfully brought forth, America, its time to listen to the awful truth and listening will require a response.

More questions, what is and has our government been doing in our name? What is Domestic wiretapping really collecting? Why are so many of the no-bid contracts in Iraq gone unfulfilled? Where is the 100 Billion dollars, held for the Iraqi gone?

And the big question, “How do we get OUT of IRAQ? Now the Republicans want the answer now, and most of the Right leaning News show Hosts, like Chris Matthews and the Rights extremist, like Sean Hannity, they all want to know what are your plans and when no one will tell them, they make reasons up, like the Democrats are all waiting for the Baker Iraq Group, to do the work for them. Well not one Republican, or these self serving pundits, has came up with one plan, not one between them, not one of them has picked up a gun and stood opposed, or in the breach for America and has not a one in their families is in, or going too Iraq.

Let’s start were America should of started, but the President did not, lets come clean and make a clean breast of this matter, along with the Press, they did not tell all the truth, or connect the dots, they and America were fearful, of being labelled UN-PATRIOTIC so no questioning of the facts and about the Real Iraq, well America the history must be known first, America needs the real history of Iraq, so they can see the parallels, to today’s Iraq, we need to see how, Bush & Cheney and the Neo-Cons led us into a horrible pit, of money-grubbing-carpet-bagging-profiteers. And at the foundation was OIL and the control there of, there I said it. In Iraq today, America asks your selves, whose left? Who escaped scrutiny? Who has made, obscene amounts of money and used the US Military for protection? Who has hundreds of thousands private military working in Iraq, with a license to kill?

I could go on, but I believe America needs to read and listen to some of the truth tellers, in order to put together a PLAN for Out Of Iraq, who are truth tellers in the congress, it will be many Democrats, in the press, it will be people like Keith Obermann MSNBC, now there are some Republicans, but they are not inclined to rock a sinking boat, but here’s some truth tellers:

America, be very sure to check out your Public Libraries, they have a creditable cornucopia of truth and remember the best seller list, is not where the only truth lies.

America the Plans for getting out of Iraq, will require some assembly, oh and listening to the FACTS… WHAT WAS 911? Really… why are we in IRAQ? really.

The Abuse of the ALL-VOLUNTEER ARMY is a failure in our time of need that has the US, Strapped for alternative moves.

By Bruce H, Scroggins

Rumsfeld’s ALL VOLUNTEER ARM FORCES together with the sleeker, downsized Pentagon are wholly incapable of handling the demands of the 21st Century WARS. Defense cannot be done on the cheap and with an over reliance on electronics, we are today, stuck in a limited responses, too Murdering terrorist, and a stealth, human shield, Low Tec militant enemy.

In America and among the voting population, there is NO sense of shared sacrifice, none… there is a disconnect for the majority and for certain political parties, mainly Republicans, Christian-Conservatives and Right leaning and Moderates, including many Democrats, their stealth Americans Patriots.

The vast majority of America’s Treasures serving today, are split down social-economic lines, the Officer Corp. it comes from our nations Military Academies, the upper middle classes, predominantly white and well off. The Foot Soldiers, come predominantly from the working classes, now Congress and the Pentagon, are not going too, re-institute, THE DRAFT, they are not going open the door for there children and grandchildren to be drafted, for any war, now that the Military is ALL_VOLUNTEER, they will not go back to a “SHARED SACRIFICE,” to protect the our Republic.

The HILL will make every argument for “stay the course Military”; they will up every possible, incentive to raise this MILITARY. Lets look at the facts of our MILITARY: 1.4 Million total strength, of which 500,00 are foot soldiers, a nation the size America 300,000,000 has to have, during a time of WARS, 2.5 to 3 Millions Military, the first argument from both sides of the Isle is, it’s too expensive, yes that is a fact of 21st Century war, for the remaining Super Power, you must share the sacrifice and share the COST of FREEDOM across the board.

America is a target and if were in it too win it, any one who says, we can do this on the cheap, is not being realistic.

The new strategy’s, being kicked around the News Talk Shows, out of the Pentagon is: Go Long, Go Short, Go Home… America we are limited in every single one of these, let’s not kid ourselves, we cannot stay and it will be painful for all to leave… sooner… later. Expensive, yes too secure our Homeland and fight two wars, we have to spend money were it will do the most good, at Home and for real 21st Century Protection.

The Draft is going to be what makes, everyone take a stand, Congress and the Pentagon and all the war loving, “stay the coursers,” have to be put on the RECORD. The News Shows solicit sound bites and they all make little quips, like there are no votes for the Draft and the online bloggers are all against it, except for some Veterans and realist Bloggers. America needs a rousing Debate, too pull the covers, off these war profiteers, listen elected officials will not vote to send theirs loved ones to war and they will not vote to send across the board and across the their respective constituency, into harms way. Congress, will not change the all-volunteer military, it’s too good the way it is now, each elected official say, to their selves, it’s the way it is and were not going too change it.

The Draft puts the onus on truth… speaking to POWER, no more frivolous wars of choice, veiled in lies, full of paybacks, some because they tried to kill, my daddy and some old fashion profiteering, under the cover, lets get some one, lets pay some one back.

The Draft is asking of the United States, uncomfortable Questions.
