Finally. I was afraid that America would never be a colonial power. But now, word comes from a report leaked to The Independent that there is a deal to keep US troops in Iraq indefinitely, irrespective of what the results of the election in November.
The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilise Iraq’s position in the Middle East and lay the basis for unending conflict in their country.
This will ensure that McCain’s 1,000 years in Iraq will be fulfilled. And let me take this opportunity to thank Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for having the foresight to allow President Bush to continue this abortion of a war long beyond when it was feasible, winnable, and justifiable.
