Or, as I have contended throughout the occupation, is this war just a smokescreen for US control of Iraq and tyranny by the global Empire??
I question your assertion Patrick? A closer look at whats really going on might relieve your tension.
At present US troops are doing less and less aggressive action and are merely trying to back up Iraqi military and police efforts at control of violence and maintenance of order. I think this refutes your using the word 'control' of Iraq. We have minimized the military control aspect.

Certainly the tyranny accusation is unfounded. If we were tyrannical we would slaughter all the heads of opposition groups and set up a puppet government overseen by our military. That is not the case! We have been standing by as the various factions try to get a government together. No small task in an area noted for tribalism and anti democratic governments.

Bottom line the antiwar liberals in this country have no patience with an endeavor their Congress and President put them in. No patriotism! No spine! No will to succeed!
Thus to them this whole thing should play out like a flic or TV drama..within a certain time frame..with the good guys always winning within the hour..and with little cost for victory. Not more than a price of admission and a bag of popcorn!


Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us.
