The news today is infuriating. We are now committing another 1500 of our men
and women in uniform to the false hope and unreachable goal of building an
Iraqi army that won’t desert of turncoat on the field of battle.
We’ve spent
billions on this task during the Bush/Cheney invasion of Iraq. We’re no planning to spend 5 billions more as
the Obama gang tries to prop up a tottering façade of a nation and its armed
forces. With the GOP slated to take over
Congress, we’ll spend the dollars to
continue our role in sucking petro bucks out of Iraq and into the offshore
accounts of the energy barons of the 1%.
Those are the dollars that were supposed to pay for the Bush/Cheney
invasion of Iraq. Remember? Those are the same bucks that vanished by the
shrink wrapped pallet every time another smoke screen obscured vision and a
neo-con bag of bull shit filled the fans of Fox News.
“Though it isn’t really war, we’re sending 50,000 more to
help save VietNam from Vietnames.” Tom
Paxton.
Only a short effort to update Paxton’s lyric - “Thoug h it isn’t really war we’re sending
1500 more to try to save Iran from
Iraqis.}

Today is the
anniversary 97th of the Great October Revolution. Fittingly, it is also the birthday of Lev
Davidovitch Bronstein (later Leon Trotsky – father of the Red Army.) Where is he now that we really need him?
