Army: Troops to stay in Iraq until 2010

Excerpt:
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Army has plans to keep the current level of soldiers in Iraq through 2010, the top Army officer said Wednesday, a later date than Bush administration or Pentagon officials have mentioned thus far…
“This is not a prediction that things are going poorly or better,” Schoomaker told reporters. “It’s just that I have to have enough ammo in the magazine that I can continue to shoot as long as they want us to shoot.”
Even so, his comments were the latest acknowledgment by Pentagon officials that a significant withdrawal of troops from Iraq is not likely in the immediate future.
Currently there are 141,000 troops in Iraq, including 120,000 Army soldiers. Those soldiers are divided among 15 Army combat brigades plus other support units.
H.L.s Take:
The Bush crime family is just making too damn much money to get out.

My take is the US will occupy Iraq beyond 2010, whether a Democrat or Republican wins the 2008 election.
The issue is very complicated by Washington/Tel Aviv’s preoccupation with partitioning Iraq into Sunni, Shiite, and Kurd zones. It makes sense to them when considering how Iraqi oil will flow from Kirkuk into Haifa. The grand design.
Meanwhile, Palestine is still brutalized by Israeli aggression, the destruction of Lebanon an afterthought, and zionists crying for another US war on Iran.
The War Party has gripped the US and there will be no end to where their war is going unless we make big changes. Because war is deep in our culture: war is in film, TV, video games, music, pro sports, terrorism in all places and living in fear. We’ve become numb to war.
Our political parties are controlled. They’re all under the same influence. The glamorization of war. Money making from the war machine. Do they really care about us?
We don’t see pro war demonstrators on the street. We don’t see the elite enlisting their children to go fight the next war. The burden is on me and you!
The majority of people in the US want change. We’re so disgusted with the political machine, we’re sick of seeing wages go down, good paying jobs disappearing, investments go down, record setting bankruptcies, foreclosures, lost jobs, lost civil liberties, disrespected human right, politicians that lie and stand for nothing, higher cost of living, more government regulation, and blantant tyranny. WE don’t want this.
How can any credible democratic government maintain the course that we’re facing as a nation?
It’s up to us, we can make a difference. We only need to wake up, see what the threat is and who the real enemy is. Once that happens, we’ll be in a better and safer place.
