"President Bush has admitted to The Times that his gun-slinging rhetoric made the world believe that he was a “guy really anxious for war” in Iraq. He said that his aim now was to leave his successor a legacy of international diplomacy for tackling Iran."
Let's be clear on this, Mr. McFuckwit: It wasn't just your "gun-slinging rhetoric," it was the fact that your rhetoric was supported by the facts and by the statements of numerous of your former aides that you were focused on ginning up the reasons to go to war with Iraq as soon as the dust started to settle from 9/11. As history is showing, the Afghan War, to you, was a distraction, a sideshow, from the war you wanted and which you got. You and your henchmen lied about the facts, lied about the intelligence, fabricated incidents and took this country into an unnecessary war against a nation that posed no discernible threat.
That is called "aggression." That is, in point of fact, a war crime.
So now you expect us to trust you about a threat from Iran? Dream the fuck on.
Iran may indeed be a problem. But if they are, the options on dealing with Iran have been limited because the Baboon King did what he did in Iraq.
Oh, and the idea of ramming down a "Status of Forces Agreement" down the throats of the Iraqis that will, in essence, make the Iraqis sign on to being occupied forever doesn't seem to be going so well, even though the Bush Administration is trying to shove it hard down the throats of the Iraqis. Bush's SOFA would basically have the Iraqis agree to be occupied by an unaccountable American force forever. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be an Iraqi version of Vidkun Quisling ready to sign the deal, though Der Monkey Fuhrer expects the Iraqis to shut up and accept being occupied forever.
UPDATE: McClatchy's article.
UPDATE II: Main & Central has several posts on the SOFA.
