When Will Americans Punish Bush For His Errors?
M’Hamed Ben Youssef
Tunis Hebdo - June 6-June 12 Issue

The question on lips everywhere lately, since the number of daily deadly attacks is rising rapidly, is “where is Iraq going?” According to a secret Pentagon report that appeared in the Cairo paper “El Isboui,” more than 15,000 guerilla attacks against coalition units have been recorded in nine months (from July 2004 to March 2005). The capital of Baghdad alone has seen nearly 3,500 offensives, two thirds of which are against the GIs.

This river of blood - which, unfortunately, never falters due to the professionalism of the inexhaustible human reservoir of Jihadists, who have enormous logistical means - prompts experts from various backgrounds to predict that even in the long term, any sort of American victory in Iraq, even a partial one, is utterly uncertain or even impossible. Thus, the American forces are condemned to camp there for at least ten more years in order to wage war against an uncatchable “enemy” that has tremendous support from the population, where it evolves like a fish in water.

With a few variations, this is a model colonial war that can only benefit the children of the country who fight for what they are to become and their self-determination, all the more so because they can clearly count on the support of Arab volunteers from around the world for the Jihad against “the Great Satan”... From Morocco to Indonesia, willing Muslims, both rich and not rich, including executives, are dropping everything - comfort, friends, parents, even wives and children - to cross through the Syrian, Iranian or Afghan borders in order to offer their lives for the cause of Islam, seeking an effective way to respond to Bush’s arrogance. After all, didn’t he dare to threaten Muslims all over the world in declaring a “Crusade” and by including several Arab or Muslim states in the “axis of evil?”

It is a reaction particular to man and his dignity, especially to Arab-Muslims who are born fighters with legendary pride. Recall, for example, the legendary courage of the North Africans at Cassino for the liberation of Italy, or the defeat of the Soviets in Afghanistan! Not to mention the victories of the ALN in Algeria and the Chechens - forgotten by Western public opinion to please Putin - in the Caucasus!

In the month of May alone, there were 672 Iraqi deaths; 1,174 were wounded by 19 car bombs, 30 offensives and 10 bomb attacks. As for the Marines, 77 of them died during the same period. The month of May turned out to be even deadlier than April (a 19% increase). This shows, if further evidence was necessary, that the Iraqi insurgency is in “good health” and that it has many days ahead of it. No sign of tiring and no respite for the occupiers who, as soon as they leave their camps, are faced with challenges.

The American invasion of Mesopotamia, with its daily setbacks, has, according to observers in the know, exasperated the entire population and spurred religious and ethnic antagonism. Furthermore, in September 2004, a ridiculous initiative was adopted by the American command and was adopted by the defunct Allawi government. Five thousand former soldiers were recruited and armed to the teeth to become shock commandos. This is a matter of letting Arabs settle their problems amongst themselves. Among the recommendations meant for the American soldiers and pulled from the text of “The Seven Pillars of Wisdom” by T.E. Lawrence, “Better to let the Arabs do it tolerably ... It is their war, and you are to help them, not to win it for them.”

HELLO DISASTER!

At the dawn of each day, there are unheard of barbarous acts, sometimes inside mosques. Many Sunnis and Shiites have lost their lives in gunfights. It has happened that prominent religious leaders with great renown in both clans are killed at their homes or in their pulpits. Veritable massacres against the Sunnis have been committed “in reaction to” unarmed Shiite attacks. Anyone would think that the policy of “a tooth for a tooth” was elaborated upon to corner the Sunnis into dissociating from the guerillas. It seems that a list of 4,000 prominent Sunnis was drawn up. They are targeted for these terrifying physical liquidations ... have the Iraqis entered a civil war? The question should be asked.

This is the result of the American army’s intervention in Iraq! We are far from the made-in-the-USA “benefits of democracy” that Bush vaunted incessantly during his hawkish calls for action ...

Tangled up as he [Bush] is in the wasp’s nest effectively constructed by Saddam Hussein on the eve of Baghdad’s invasion, he must now deal with the weariness of the average American. This is a dirty war to which even he doesn’t see an end! Won’t the silent masses on the other side of the Atlantic make the voracious Republicans pay for their serious distraction in the Gulf in the 2007 legislative elections? Wait and see ...

  • Keep dreaming.

    The Bush leadership is doing what the American public wants it to do... Why would they punish him for that?

    You really have not a clue about America nor the American public nor the American society when you write/ask such questions... It would do you good in this world if you were stronger on the inside.

    • Please ignore reponse 1. It is an atttempt to legitimize lies and their are no legitimate lies.
      Please KEEP dreaming. Do not allow losers like response 1 to influence your feelings. They
      themselves work for the paycheck master and have no moral conviction or respect for human life
      or the earths resources. I am afraid they need help in overcoming their addiction to consumerism.

  • Although I live in America, I completely agree with you. If you ask me, Bush should be impeached for what he has done. Tell me, when was the last time a president lied to the American people to start a war purely for corporate interests? Besides, it is obvious that he fixed the results of the last election in Ohio. So why won’t we punish him? Well, the reasons are many. For one, the average American is too ignorant to even know what is going on in the world (I live with them, trust me). Second, our media is to cash-hungry to take the time to investigate such a scandal. And third, as long as the Bush Administration keeps serving up its daily dose of racist anti-liberal, "Jesus-told-me-to" rhetoric and keeps avoiding the real issues, they can’t possibly lose the redneck vote.

    Trust me, I would love to punish my government right about now.

  • This is from the Psy Ops and propaganda campaigns to make the Irraqis turn against each other givning the corporations that are seeking to take Iraqi Oil and to use Iraq as a third world military based to invade the rest of the middle east and to distroy the ways of the Iraqi people and to distroy their culture and ideals by turning them into desperate savages that have lost all their humanity because of commiting murder and being led into highly charged emotional states where they are not thinking clearly.

    It is the basis of a campaign to make common good people into death dealers and to destroy their will to live a peaceful live by taking their homes, jobs, and families from them.

    Please make sure to inform the Iraqis to put aside any personal differences, any misgivings and to turn against the true enemy and that is those that are their to destroy your lifes as good loving people. Do not buy into the propagana and the Psy Ops mind control. And always remember to love your fellow Iraqi and to forgive him so you can rise above this death that is being brought against your people and your land. You are free to believe in yourself and your own self determination in a peaceful way of life and you can do that if you focus on building yourselfs and helping others. Keep close together and do not allow the invading corproations to turn you against eachother.

    peace out.

    create peace. live love. honor life. speak truth. be not turned by money.

    • Peace out?? Yet you condone and even call for more murder and mayhem. The entire lot of you need to look in the mirror and ask yourself exactly what you believe. The retorec on this comment/post supports murder, beheadings, etc. You people are as insane as the madmen who murder and kill without regard in Iraq. If you can’t figure out who the good guy’s are you have a real problem. You are so quick to condemn Bush and America yet you assign absolutely no blame to the cold blooded murderers in Iraq who kill in the name of Jihad. Saddam murdered hundreds of thousands and as soon as UN sanctions would have been lifted he would be enabled with billions of dollars to develop WMD’s which he has used multiple times in the past.

    • We are all sick of the lies and the liars. Bush should be impeached for lying about everything. The Iraqis did not take part in 9/11, Saddam Hussein was no threat to anyone in the US and the lies that Bush told can not be denied, a moron can see what he is up to and we do not need a troll to come here and question our patriotism. Your kind are destroying our country and all that it was once good for with your unquestioning support of the crimminals who are in control of our government. If you can’t see it then that is your problem, you are just a moron, and nothing is going to change that, so go troll your shit some where else.
