“Grave and deteriorating”

The Iraq Study Group made its report public today. It is not worth the scrap paper it is printed on. The only thing on the minds of the members of the commission is how to get the U.S. out of the shit. They don't give a damn about the Iraqi people who find themselves in a living hell created by the Devil and His Poodle, war criminals Bush and Blair.

It is not going to give back a decent and peaceful life to the Iraqi people and it isn't even going to get the U.S. out of the shit. Because it doesn't recommend immediate and unconditional withdrawal of U.S. forces. And Bush is not going to implement it anyway... He already rejected one of the key recommendations, to hold direct talks with Iran and Syria.

The report recognizes that Iraq is in a mess. Do we need a commission to know that? And the two B's remain in denial.

A useful recommendation would have been to arrest Bush and Blair and fly them under armed guard to the International Court in The Hague to be prosecuted for the crime of aggression, genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“Nice words that had no effect," was the comment of a Sunni Arab employee of Iraq's Industry Ministry on similar reports written in the past (CNN: Iraq Study Group report gets cool reception among Iraqis)

And Bush will start to blame it all on the Iraqis, ungrateful for being 'liberated'... He is still waiting for other reports, from the Pentagon, the State Department and the National Security Council. More stupid words to hide behind and continue the slaughter of innocent Iraqis.

One of the commission's major recommendations is training and equipping more Iraqi security forces. That's exactly the same recommendation which was implemented after the U.S. military got stuck in the Vietnam War. When if finally realized it could not win the war, the U.S. government withdrew combat troops, increased the number of military advisers and beefed up the training of South Vietnam's forces. The end came in April 1975 when the last American diplomats fled by helicopter from the roof of their embassy in Saigon.

The same is bound to happen in Baghdad. The situation is indeed "grave and deteriorating". Just wait and see.
