Certainly democracy and freedom are not part of George W. Bush plans for Iraq.

This Commander in Chief is not telling the truth to the soldiers who were sent to Iraq to die or to be maimed for life. He does not have to worry because he has no family members in any branch of the US military forces to face the danger of dying. He has friends in Corporate America and family members who are robbing the wealth of the Iraqi people and the American soldiers are paying the price with their blood.

William H.T. Bush, uncle of the president and youngest brother of former President George H.W. Bush, cashed in the St. Louis-based ESSI (Engineered Support Systems) stock options with a net value of nearly half a million dollars. And what did the American soldiers cashed? Absolutely nothing. They were forced to go Iraq to kill and be killed while the Bushes are getting wealthier on the account of the victims.

"Uncle Bucky", as the President calls him, sits on the Board of Directors of this company that is benefiting from the bloodshed of innocent Iraqis and young American soldiers. His company is supplying armors and other materials to the US military. In an earnings report issued recently, the firm disclosed that net earnings for the first quarter ending Jan. 31 reached a record $20. 6million, while quarterly revenue hit $233. 5million, up20 % from a year ago. As a result, the company boosted its projected annual revenue to between $ 990million and $ 1billion.

While the innocent Iraqis and US soldiers are dying for lies and deceptions the situation in Iraq is worsening. The Iraqis are suffering under the new "freedom and democracy" that Bush brought upon them. The pro Iran "religious" parties such as Dawa and the Iraq Council of Islamic Revolution, the most reactionary parties that Iraq ever has known, are imposing themselves on Basra and on the rest of the south. With the support of the forces of occupation and the Mullah of Iran they are terrorizing the people and forcing the population to accept and enforce very reactionary codes. The barbers are being killed or attacked for shaving beards of their customers. Women are being forced to wear hijab against their will; Christians are being killed for selling liquor and for working in liquor stores. They are creating a Republic of Fear, an Iranian style republic.

People are forced to abandon their jobs and business because these jobs did not meet the standard of the reactionary Mullahs or they face death. Ibrahim al-Ja’afari, the head of Dawa party, might be installed 'Prime Minister" under occupation and under the Iranian Ayat Allahs, such as Sistani.

The Arabs in the south are being robbed from their Arab identity because Iran is spreading its influence there through fear and threats and not through popularity.

The government buildings are occupied by the Iranians who stormed Iraq since the beginning of the occupation, Abu Ali Hussein says that "life was much better under Saddam, we were able to conduct our lives the way we want, we were living in prosperity, our women were able to chose their dresses and we were able to get hair cuts to our liking. Now every thing is gone, strangers and fanatics are ruling us, they are choosing for us."

Iran and the United States joined hands against Iraq, they have cooperated together in staging the fake election, Iran worked closely with the United States to win support among the pro Iranian "Islamist" parties who were in Iran for more than a decade.

Iranian Envoy to Britain, Muhammad Hussain Adeli said that Tehran was ready to work again with the US to ensure "stability" in the Middle East when their interests converged.

"For the recent elections, there was not only implicit but explicit indirect and direct cooperation between the two, Iran and the United States, in order to keep the "majority" calm and in favour of the election," Adeli said

Your Commander in Chief, George W. Bush reminds me of the lies of my Commander Lyndon B. Johnson during the Vietnam War. His irrational policies brought defeat to the United States and unnecessary death to American young soldiers.

President Bush said that the war against Iraq was for the link with Bin Laden, it was a lie. The link is between his family and the family of Bin Laden, they conduct business together. http://www.thedubyareport.com/bushbin.html http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/bin_laden_ties.html

He said it was for weapons of mass destruction, weapons of mass destruction were not found in Iraq, and certainly the weapons exist in the United States and were used before in Japan, Vietnam and in Iraq. They do exist also in "Israel" the strategic ally of the United States that devoured Palestine and expelled its people into exile with your money and Washington’s help and support.

He said that it was for the threat of Saddam Hussein to the World and to America while the real threat is Bush and his blind and fanatic policies. Iraq was a threat to no one, the United States under his father put Iraq under a genocidal embargo that killed a million and a half innocent Iraqis, mostly children under the age of five. And Bush, the son, caused more than 100, 000innocent Iraqis to die in his invasion and more are still dying.

He said that the war was for freedom and democracy but he brought Allawi the butcher and the most reactionary Islamist parties from Iran to terrorize Iraq and spread fear among the Iraqi people.

It is time for America to stand up firmly against the Commander in Chief and bring the soldiers home alive. We do not need to bring 55,000 or more in black bags wrapped with flags.
