Gonzales probably wasn’t talking about Plame, but it may have been historical.

(Michael Vick is the NFL quarterback who is accused of federal crimes for conducting and promoting the cruel sport of dog fighting, and for killing dogs through electrocution, beating, and suffocation.)

As you know, nobody really **knows** exactly what would happen if Bush was not continuing to spill oceans of blood and treasure in order to save face.

Back in 2004, Abdul Aziz al-Hakim (Frontline interview) openly admitted that 100,000 in the Badr Brigade paraded in Iraq.

Combine that 100k with twenty plus years of planning, I think that they are a hellava lot stronger and more resistant than what’s being talked about.

Time will tell.

This so called ineptitude, weakness, etc of the Iraqi Parliament media is probably a farce perpetrated by the media. (Here’s the subtext: Those damn Iraqis. We served it up on a silver platter to them, but they were too lazy to eat up it.)

That narrative frames these men as being incompetent when in fact, to the detriment of the USA, they are well-organized, extremely patient, and have been quite successful at slowing draining the beast of its blood and treasure.

Since they have been in office, the Iraqi Parliament has not acted upon the Bush admin’s directives and have on occasion instead made deals with Iran:

Iraq-Iranian agreement to lay oil pipeline. By Dergham Mohammad Ali Baghdad, May 17, (VOI) - The Iraqi government has agreed with Iran to start laying oil pipeline between the two countries the official spokesman for Iraq’s Oil Ministry said on Thursday.

People are calling them a failure due to their not acting upon the Bush admin’s directives (e.g.: oil revenue–sharing law, provincial elections, a revised Iraqi constitution, re-including purged Baathists)?

These men have fought their adult lives to make Iraq an Islamic state. They were ignored when SH was gassing the opposition.

Bush warns Iraq on chemical arms U.S. fears use of weapons against rebels. Chicago Tribune. March 10, 1991 [snip]

Jawad al-Maliki of the Dawa Party said in Damascus, Syria, that mustard
gas was used against protesters in al-Haleh, al-Kifil, Najaf and some
areas of Basra, in southeastern Iraq.

Precisely what is going on inside Iraq is difficult to determine since
Western reporters have been expelled. Most information is coming from
refugees and opposition leaders in Iran and Syria.

Defense Secretary Dick Cheney described the situation as “volatile” but
said it appears Hussein will be able to keep the unrest in check for
now. The Iraqi leader is using his loyal Republican Guard to quell the
rebellion.

And instead of measuring the degree to which they have made their vision come true as evidenced by southern Iraq, people are measuring them with the standards of the Bush admin?

That makes zero sense.

Bush’s deposing of SH is a gift which they are going to continue to bludgeon the US with over and over again with glee, force, and speed.

The US lost long ago.

Its way past time to go.

LOL! So true, Montag.

How did Robert Fisk put it? The Americans MUST leave Iraq, and the Americans CAN’T leave Iraq.

The Maliki [Dawa] al-Hakim [SCIRI-Badr Brigade] and Talabani [PUK] wouldn’t have much power if the Bushies didn’t support them, and weren’t arming all sides in a civil war. But Iraqis generally have been secular for generations and a majority would oppose excessive Iranian influence.

Again, Saddam Hussein fought the war against Iran.

Being anti-Saddamists, many key members in the current Iraqi Parliament did not align themselves Saddam Hussein OR the USA.

If you did some research, you will see that Al-Maliki, Al-Hakim, Jalal Talabani, Hamid Al Bayati, Bayan Jabr, Hoshyar Zebari, et al did not arise ex nihilo.

Instead, they moved into the places they have been designing for quite some time.

Despite being forced into exile, they have been quite active at trying to depose Saddam Hussein for over the last two decades.

What we see in Iraq is over two decades in the making.
