    Lets not re-write history here people. This was a war of $. Look at the government contracts that were awarded under W to his big GOP buddies. Most of them were NO BID contracts? And the GOP complaines about fisical irresponsibility?? Happy the troops are coming home but lets not pat ourselves on the back. We attatcked a secular country with an A-hole leader that eas no threat to us, WMD??? O yeah forgot about those didnt we? We killed hundreds of thoudsands of civilians, lost thousands of young Americans, turned the whole world including moderate Europe agaisnt us and spent trillions of dollars. This was about privitization and han-outs to big defense companies. Lets not cloud history here and do the usual America is never wrong BS or we will be doomed to repeat this disaster.

    It was the idiotic ramblings of a 5th grade drop out that led this country into some foolish idea that we owe anyone on this planet our childrens lives and a trillion dollars in our tax dollar to secure them some human right that we can get in real practice in this country! Now we have to hear the same b/s as we get to hear from some mediocre intelect minority member who was born on welfare and rode that minority status all the way to every afirmative action available but is now telling us how he or she lifted themselves up(evidently all the way up into our tax dollar locker! No, the Iraqis did not do *** to get where they are, it was handed to them and more clearly, even when it was handed to them they haven't been able to find a fully teste sack among them that is willing to stop their own neighbors from killing indescriminently at every chance!

    If there were groups of Americans of what ever belief that had a bug up their butt that forced them to blow up schools, police stations, neighborhoods, grocery stores and our own police were unable(too stupid or actually involved) the day would come shortly where there would be piles of these characters dead at the hands of American citizen who evidently have to supply the testestorone for the rest of the planet!
    Good riddance Iraq, bet you can even control a piece of land about the size of Texas even for your own best interests!

    Do not celebrate as yet.

    The internal squabble for greater power (and thus eventual wealth) may grow more intense without a strong arbiter, and the consequences can be real eerie.

    The Iraqis must learn to respect one another and focus on rebuilding the already badly bashed nation. Help yourselves, for no one else will help you without strings attached.

    Otherwise, the scenario could deteriorate beyond redemption.

    Sordid. pathetic. Ends as in the beginning. death and BS running like blood in the streets.
    Bush. Cheney. Rumsfeld. Rove. Murderous zombies all. Blood under their fingernails, blood between their teeth. Blood in their nostrils and blood in all the dark places. Blood and death: America's eternal legacy. They and their enablers can only pray that there is no hell as dark as death in Iraq... as fire and rain in Iraq, as martyrdom alone in Iraq.
    Darkness reigns. a ghostly hand, writing large, leaves the indelible mark.
