Pro-War Arguments Don’t Hold Water- A comprehensive shredding of the Rep/Dem reasons to continue the war
There is absolutely no good reason to continue this war.
| Pro-War Argument |
(Buried) Truth |
| We can’t abandon the Iraqis | Leaked UK Ministry of Defense Poll 82% of Iraqis Strongly Oppose the presence of Occupation Troops 67 per cent of Iraqis feel less secure because of the occupation Howard Zinn: “We are not trying to create democracy in Iraq. We are not trying to bring liberty to Iraq. We are trying to bludgeon them into submission.” |
| We’re Liberating Iraqis | Napalm & White Phosphorus Depleted Uranium Hundreds of tons of Radioactive waste spread across their backyard. (mp3) Abu Ghraib Torture Imprisoning thousands of innocents (Red Cross: 70-90% of those arrested are innocent!) |
| We can’t let the terrorists win | We are fighting Iraqis defending their homeland, not terrorists. Of 1,300 suspected insurgents arrested over the past five months in and around Ramadi, none has been a foreigner. |
| Civil War | Sunnis and Shias united in Protest of US Occupation Compare April 9th 2003 & 2005 “Many Iraqis believe the suicide bombers are the work of the CIA blowing up civilians and mosques revered by both Sunni and Shia, in an effort to create the Civil War Excuse for continuing the occupation. |
| Bush: No timetables for withdrawal or the terrorists will just wait us out | Leaders of Iraq’s sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in the country and said Iraq’s opposition had a “legitimate right’’ of resistance. ie- they’re not terrorists, but Iraqis resisting the takeover of their country. |
| Our troops want to stay |
Congressman back from Iraq: Most troops want to come home. Troop crippled thanks to “Stop Loss” order he fulfilled his duty, but the army forced him to return to Iraq. |
| We’re making great progress |
Oct. Troop Deaths Double 2004, Triple 2003 Generals to Congress: Only 750 Iraqi troops fully trained out of 200,000 Iraq’s Oil Wealth given to multinationals. The Iraqi people lose hundreds of Billions of $$, while oil Execs are laughing. |
| We Must “Support the Troops” |
Supporting the troops means not sending them into harms way unless it’s absolutely necessary. Bush & Co Lied to start a war. That is TREASON. |
The real reasons ‘they’ want to continue the war:
- Prevent Bush, Cheney, Rummy war crimes trial
- Continue flow of gravy train (looting America) to Halliburton and other BushCo cronies, $300 Billion so far, Murtha says they already want $100 Billion more for next year.
- Exxon, Shell, BP want to retain rights to Iraqi oil- if we leave, their contracts go up in smoke.
- 14 “Enduring Bases” necessary to continue PNAC goal of Middle East domination
Bush’s noble cause is pure “Big Lie” BUllSHit- they want to stay for the profit and power of the military-industrial complex. Don’t believe me, listen to Howard Zinn, Robert Fisk (mp3), Dwight Eisenhower & Andy Rooney.
