Dossier plans 'prove Brits will stay'
By Rosa Prince

THE US Army plans to remain in Iraq until at least 2009, secret documents obtained by the Mirror reveal.

Contract tender forms for civilian workers disclose a huge expansion of interrogation and detention centres in Iraq to remain in place for a minimum four more years.

Yesterday Labour MP Alan Simpson claimed the revelation means that British forces will also have to stay the distance.

He said: "This is obviously the real withdrawal timetable. British soldiers will be used to protect US profits. Those who die are blood money for corporate America."

1. Of course they'll be there until 2009 . . .

George will have to be out of the way before someone else can move in to clean up his mess. Been that way his entire life.

2. They'll be there till the oil's gone. The key words are "at least".

6. He snuck a true statement in there.....

In the last sentence of the OP:

Those who die are blood money for corporate America.


That goes for everybody.

7. If 2009 is a firm offer, take it.

Bush had his chance to pull out and run, and he didn't take it. There isn't anything that is going to happen between now and 2009 that will allow Bush to w/draw.

So 2009 looks like a good deal at this point.
