June 30, 2005 journal, it is quit now or quit later with more dead like it was in Vietnam. Mystery Babylon has struck again like a gambler forgetting his losses. The worshipers of Baal feel they must impose their god Osiris on the entire world, there is no excuse for this.

It is very clear now, we have been had by a reckless lunatic irresponsible for his actions. We lost the war in Vietnam and were driven out and we have lost the war in Iraq and will be driven out the sooner the better. Why do we stay after their government is established? "Expensive Favor by Charley Reese. One question Americans should be asking the B--h administration is why it wishes to do such an expensive favor for the Iraqi people. I can-not think of any instance in which the federal government has been willing to spend $1 bil-lion a week and 1,700 lives just to improve conditions in any one of the 50 states. Yet that is exactly what it is doing in Iraq, presumably for no other reason than to bring the bless-ings of liberty to a people we have bombed, starved, impoverished and vilified now for 14 years. Naturally, the democracy bit is a fallback excuse after the original justification for launching a preemptive war was proven false. There are no weapons of mass destruction. There was no nuclear program. There were no ties to al-Que-da. There was no threat to the United States, imminent or otherwise. These undisputed facts do leave the American people with two choices. One, they can give President George the benefit of the doubt and believe that he believed there actually were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In that case, he is guilty of the most expensive blunder in the history of the United States. When such blunders are discovered, the normal course of events is to fire the people responsible. No such firings have occurred in this administration. In fact, this administration refuses to admit it made a mistake, however obvious the truth. The second choice is to conclude the president deliberately misled the American people and was intent on attacking Iraq with out regard for the facts. There is accumulating evidence that this is the case. As a recently unearthed British memorandum reveals, B+us+h had decided to go to war, and the facts were to be "fixed" to justify it. This explains the lack of firings. The intelligence bureau-crats didn't err; they did exactly what the Buxsh cabal instructed them to do: fix the facts to justify a war. Whichever it is - colossal blunder or deliberate deception - he has gotten away with it. Neither the voters, the Congress nor the press has held him accountable. That leaves the present mess. We are now once again hearing the old rhetoric of the Viet-nam War. "We can't cut and run"; "To pull out now would be a catastrophe"; etc. and so forth. This is a false argument. A planned withdrawal after the completion of the mission is not "cutting and running." No group-most of all the insurgents-believe it has the power to drive us out of Iraq. After the interim government drafts a constitution and elects a permanent government, there will be no justification for us to remain. If we do, we will be seen as propping up a phony government the Iraqi people don't support. Furthermore, we as outsiders cannot defeat an insurgency, because our very presence fuels its recruiting drives. Only the Iraqis can defeat the insurgency, and only after we have left. B-us+h, in my opinion, doesn't intend to leave Iraq ever. He is looking for a permanent U.S. military presence in that country. The American people and the Congress, however, can force him to withdraw. If the people put enough pressure on Congress, the legislative branch can cut off the funds and thus force a U.S. withdrawal. Unfortunately, I fear that more Americans will die before the pressure builds to that point. Trying to create democracy at the point of a foreign bayonet was a fool's errand from the beginning. It can't be done. My guess is the Iraqis will eventually choose another strongman to give them what they most want,” cont.
