By the way what is victory in Iraq Disarmament Regime change Capture and try Saddam Hussein Freedom and stability for Iraq Create a viable democracy Hold elections Bring peace to the Middle East Protect Israel Defeat alQaeda Build military bases Protect the oil fields Win the midterm congressional elections Victory is all any or some of the above. It depends on the Bushevik talking points of the week. These last couple of weeks have been grueling for Bush. Hes been on the road to Latin American and Asia and our leader hates to travel. He has to eat all that furn food listen to furn languages stay up past his 8 p.m. bedtime and pretend hes interested. In Korea tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest Bush and his war. The totalitarian Chinese government doesnt permit such public displays but the Chinese people are deadset against the American aggression in Iraq. In fact everywhere on the planet save among a dwindling number of Americans and the Bushevik cheerleaders in Congress people are opposed to the war in Iraq and want a speedy U.S. withdrawal. We lost any remote hope of pacifying Iraq when the horrors of the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison were revealed. The torture policies forever alienated the Iraqi people and assured popular support for Islamist extremists and insurgents and their violent campaigns. Now we learn Iraqs new police force has been systematically torturing prisoners and even carrying out nonjudicial executions. The brutality occurred right under the noses of American military commanders. British reports describe the Shiitedominated police using torture on captured Sunnis further inflaming the sectarian violence unleashed after the U.S. invasion. ABC News reports two former Iraqi detainees were repeatedly tortured by U.S. forces trying to squeeze out information about Saddam and his nonexistent weapons of mass destruction. This new revelation comes as Bush and Cheney continue to resist a Senate defense spending authorization that includes a notorture provision. Adding to the Iraqi resistance and international outrage over U.S. behavior the Pentagon admits after repeatedly denying it that white phosphorus was used as a weapon during the U.S. assault on Fallujah the insurgent stronghold in the summer of 2004. RAI the Italian television network recently produced a disturbing documentary The Hidden Massacre the story of the use of the chemical weapon on the people of Fallujah. The video of the corpses burned to the bone and eyewitness accounts of the suffering are difficult to see and hear. First denying the reports of the use of white phosphorus Condoleezza Rices State Department then admitted the chemical had been used in artillery shells over Fallujah for illumination purposes. But in the face of the documented evidence of civilian casualties a Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Barry Venable finally admitted It was used as an incendiary against enemy combatants. Venable told the BBC that earlier statements were based on poor information. Ill say. Among the changing reasons for the war Bush Cheney and Rice repeatedly warned us that Saddam had chemical and biological weapons and someday he would use them on another nation or provide them to terrorists. Rice loved to remind us Saddam had used chemicals on his own people. Fallujah has been pretty much destroyed its 300000 residents displaced and in despair. The bodies of many of their loved ones are charred beyond recognition with chemical weapons. These people want us to leave their country. George W. Bush and Dick Cheney want us to stay until they declare victory. We have already lost the war in Iraq and we also may have lost our national soul there. banking services chronicle site
