from rawstory.comBush rails against the popular will... and concern-trolls about oil.
Bush went on to slam critics of the war who call for a US withdrawal, saying, "They claim that our strategic interest is elsewhere and that if we would just get out of Iraq, we could focus on the battles that really matter. This argument makes no sense.""If America's strategic interests are not in Iraq," Bush went on, "the convergence point for the twin threats of al Qaeda and Iran, the nation Osama bin Laden's deputy has called the place for the greatest battle, the country at the heart of the most volatile region on earth, then where are they?"
Bush concluded that a US withdrawal could "endanger Iraq's oil resources," provide al Qaeda with safe havens, help global terrorism gain new recruits, and signal to people in the Middle East that "the United States cannot be trusted."
Yeah.... that's the message people would get.
And we are soooooo trusted by folks now.....wouldn't want to stain our credibility.

The occupation is Economic Colonisation.
It is a WAR CRIME.
It is a WAR CRIME to do this to a nation which you have completely and fully aggressed upon.
All of the ambigous terrorists (this excludes the Iraqi resistance) in Iraq are conveniently serving U.S. interests. Coincidentaly giving the U.S. the excuse to keep a hold on Iraqs OIL. Now WHAT TERRORIST in his right mind would want to do THAT?
All of the ambigous terrorists are being paid by U.S. to do it. As they have always been paid by the U.S. to do what they do.
You know, because the groups who are responsible for the acts are not sending their messages with whatever demands the group has. Are these just stray people who want to kill themselves in Iraq? It appears so, unless they have leaders with demands. And not 'leaders' who work for U.S., and give them an offer they can't refuse.
Even the IVAW veterans have said they didnt see shit about Alqaeda
No real terrorists are in Iraq.
Not ENEMY ones.
Just the U.S.-Hired FAKE ones.
But it's a "convergence point" that Bush created
Saddam, at least kept both Iran and AlQaeda at bay. Iraq became a convergence point only after the Bush Crime Family invaded and destablized the country and region. So, by Bush's own admission, the world is not a better place for his removing Saddam from power.
