Redeployment
America has five percent of the world’s population, but consumes 25% of its oil. Most members of Congress never mention oil, because they’re pretending the occupation of Iraq has nothing to do with its oil reserves. The Bush regime would have little interest in the Iraqi people except for their oil, which politicians refer to as strategic national interests. Our addiction to oil is used to justify bombing and invading other nations and engaging in wars of aggression.
Imperialist capitalists considers the invasion of Iraq to be in our strategic national interest and it's okay with them that our occupation requires trading dead American, for future access to Iraqi oil reserves. It doesn’t matter that eighty percent of Iraqis resent the occupation of our military for delivering death, destruction and destitution upon their shattered nation and want our troops out.
Our intelligence community has pointed out that our military presence in Iraq is making terrorism worse. Consequently, we should be seeking a strategy to rapidly reduce our presence, which will help eliminate the recruitment of more terrorists.
To date over 3,114 Americans have been killed in Iraq. Bush claims that “he's” going to hang tough in Iraq, but he's asking our troops do the same. This war has become Bush’s legacy, and is no longer about our country’s best interests and our security. It's no longer about the global conflict of terrorism, or coming together in a united way to deal with the threat of terrorism.
We need to find a different path to fighting the war on terror, which is in Afghanistan and 65 other countries. However, Republicans will not allow a redeployment date to be set, even though it would give some clarity about when a change is going to take place. That is the only way to get Iraqi politicians to understand we’re not going to be there forever.
Senate Republicans are committed to protecting Bush’s legacy and the interests of their corporate sponsors. They’re playing hardball and Democrats could give them enough rope to allow them to hang themselves in 2008.
However, that strategy would ensure that many more of our troops will die in Iraq. Those that consider the troops politically expendable may find themselves expendable on election day 2008.
