Something you don't know, hmmm. As Rumsfeld used to say "we don't know what we don't know",

Perhaps you have heard the propoganda that we must wait for September before we can make any judgement on ceasing hostilities in Iraq. Why September? There are a number of reasons. One is a propogandized expectation of a terrorist attack in the US this September that would sever to escalate war activities without debate. Another reason is that any date in the future will lead to another date in the future...
But the main reason is that the US still does not have a finalized deal to "sell" Iraq's oil to multinational oil companies.

We wanted to have a legitimately elected goverment in Iraq to vote for the sale of Iraq's oil to western oil companies but it still has not happened and now the remains of the Iraq Parlment have gone on VACATION. Boy did that toast Dick Cheney's cookies. He went over there in person to tell them to not go on vacation and vote the oil to multinational companies immediately, but the Iraqis did not obey. Dick was really pissed off on his trip back and nearly stroked out.

If we could rely on a free unimpeded flow of Iraq oil we could be out of there in 90 days but it will never be possible to secure all the thousands of miles of remote unguarded pipelines from sabotage.

The final reason is that September is a totally fictious date of reappraisal. Any cessation of hostilities in a US policy of perpetual war is a knife in the heart of every defense contractor, weapons manufacturer and oil company in the free world.

Liberty, democracy and dying in vain never had anything to do with the invasion of Iraq.

but undoubtedly you already knew that too.

so how about...

I bet the American people would be more interested in the list of GWB's performance enhancement pharmaceuticals. :=)
