640 Dead in Iraq: the Never-Ending Depravity of the Bush Neocons

Blame the disgusting neocons and Bush for the death of 640 people (expected to eventually reach over a thousand), mostly women and children, killed during a religious festival in Baghdad. If not for Bush's invasion and occupation, there would be no suicide bombers in Iraq and people would not be drinking poisoned juice and food, suffocating in panic-stricken crowds, or jumping to their death into the Tigris River from a bridge after somebody shouted there was a suicide bomber in the crowd. Before Bush's criminal father and the don of the New World Order invaded the country fifteen years ago, Iraq was a modern Arab country with the best health care and educational systems in the Middle East. Sure, they were ruled by a brutal dictator, but his depredations against political enemies paled in comparison to the interminable brutality suffered by the Iraqi people under occupation and the Bushzarro world version of democracy.

Blame, as well, the stepfordized Bush supporters with their flags made in China contra the Cindy Sheehan demonstrators outside of Bush's faux cowboy ranch in Crawford, Texas. Blame the stalker Hiram Lewis IV, a Captain and JAG officer in the West Virginia Army National Guard and a GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate from West Virginia, who declares he will "dog" Cindy Sheehan's steps as she treks from Texas to Washington. "My mission is to persuade Cindy Sheehan to meet with an Iraq War Veteran such as myself and answer my questions about why she is encouraging the terrorists, endangering our men and women in uniform, and lowering troop morale," Lewis told RightMarch, a right-wing organization sponsored by the Christian Communication Network.

Cindy, of course, is doing nothing of the sort, although Lewis and the Bush supporters are prolonging and perpetuating massive human rights violations in Iraq and encouraging an atmosphere that leads to chaos and the death of 640 Muslim worshippers in Baghdad. "Capt. Lewis wants to make sure Mrs. Sheehan supports what her son wanted to do -- see the job through in Iraq," babbles RightMarch. "Finally, Capt. Lewis wants to rally support to our continued success in Operation Iraqi Freedom while helping protesters understand how their efforts lower morale and endanger our troops' lives."

If indeed the protests of Cindy Sheehan and others "lower morale" of soldiers (or more accurately gets them thinking about how their unconscionable participation in the neocon plan to wreck Muslim society and culture is in fact a crime against humanity), more power to them. Bush's troops are endangered by freedom fighters in Iraq, not by anything Sheehan says or does. Chances are pretty good the average Iraqi resistance fighter, living on the run and from hand to mouth, knows absolutely nothing about Cindy Sheehan. He does know about trigger-happy yahoo troops kicking in doors at three in the morning and slaughtering entire families at Israeli-styled checkpoints. He also probably knows the tension between Sunnis and Shi'as benefits the occupation, not the people of Iraq, and the death of hundreds of Shi'ites during a religious festival feeds right into the strategy of chaos engineered by Lewis' bosses in the Pentagon.

It's expensive to kill all these people and pitch the remainder into misery and desperation, as planned by the Straussian-Machiavellian neocons. "The U.S. war in Iraq now costs more per month than the average monthly cost of military operations in Vietnam in the 1960s and 1970s, according to a report issued on Wednesday," reports Reuters. "The report, entitled 'The Iraq Quagmire' from the Institute for Policy Studies and Foreign Policy in Focus, both liberal, anti-war organizations, put the cost of operations in Iraq at $5.6 billion per month."

It should be noted the Institute for Policy Studies and Foreign Policy in Focus works closely with the globalist Ford Foundation to gatekeep leftists and other progressives who are blissfully unaware of the fact the globalists run the show on both sides of the political fence. Even so, the information released by the Institute for Policy Studies and Foreign Policy in Focus should be considered a bellwether, an indicator of how determined the neocon faction of the neoliberal milieu will go to bankrupt the United States in order to achieve their goal of sowing chaos and discord into target communities, thus softening them up for a new Sykes-Picot, carving up the Arab and Muslim Middle East and viciously attacking Islam, an integral part of the "clash of civilizations" paradigm.

But then impoverishing the American people, and thus reducing them to peons beholden to the neoliberal gentry, is also a long-term part of the plan. Americans may believe the sort of chaos that results in the stampeding and drowning of hundreds of Iraqis is a distant and horrific reality that does not affect them, but the day is not far off (as the economy crumbles and gas prices shoot through the ceiling) when Americans may be queuing up in dangerous and hostile crowds in order to get their daily ration of food. Insert an agent provocateur in the crowd and have him scream "suicide bomber" (or "al-Qaeda terrorist") and the result will be about the same as what happened in Baghdad.
