| at the end of the day, their deaths will be little more than another statistic added on to the list of soldiers who've been killed/maimed in bush's unnecessary war. and still, the iraqis have their desertion policy, while american soldiers are little more than cannon fodder.. bodies to take the hits so that iraqis don't have to defend their own country.
this is the price of maintaining bush's policy where the iraqis are increasingly dependent on u.s. troops.. the "stay the course" non-policy will only lead to continued dependence on u.s. troops, making it even more difficult to withdraw. i think some of the imperialists actually want to see iraqi dependence solidify into something that truly is permanent - a good base of operations next to iran. |
