Boosh: " The Iraqis want to live in a free society.
Zawahiri doesn't want them to live in a free society. And that's the clash of ideologies: freedom versus tyranny," he said."

Well, freedom for all except maybe Iraqi women, eh boosh. I am sure Rick Santorum approves.

1. I guess that's why most of them want us out.
Do they get the "freedom" we impose with a boot on their neck?

3. I would like to live in freedom too but lately I feel I live in...
tyranny. When I purchased a money order from the post office today there was a red printed warning that the money order could only be sent within the US and its possessions. How ridiculous. I can't even send a money order to another country. Soon I will have to use my fingerprint when using a credit/debit card and so on. How is that freedom.

4. Ideology........the bushco's buzzword
Have you noticed the ideology being thrown out to the masses lately? Over and over the bushco's are using this word to promote their agenda. Be it the war, the Roberts thing, the Rove thing, CAFTA..........it's all ideological. Just another word for propaganda coming from them.

5. The Iraqis do not want to live in a free society
OK, maybe a few, but too many are still clinging to antiquated belief systems that are utterly opposed to true equlaity and Democracy.
We sacrificed so many lives to give them a chance at freedom, and now they are throwing it away to continue wallowing in the 13th century.
Maybe we should send Rick Santorum to be their president.

The U.S. occupation of Iraq officially ended on June 28, 2004 , in a secret ceremony in Baghdad. Officially, "full sovereignty" was handed from the Americans to the Iraqi Interim Government. But it was clear from the start that this was sovereignty in name, not in deed. First, there is the continued military occupation: 138,000 U.S. soldiers and Marines, plus 20,000 troops from other countries and an estimated 20,000 contractors, all fully under U.S. control and immune to Iraqi laws. Equally debilitating, however significantly less well reported upon, is the continued political and economic occupation by the Bush administration and its corporate allies.

The most important tools being used by the Bush administration to maintain varying degrees of economic and political control in Iraq are the 100 Orders enacted by L. Paul Bremer, III, head of the now defunct Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) before his departure. It was thought that the "end" of the occupation would also mean the end of the Orders. Instead, in his final Order enacted on his last day in the country, Bremer simply transferred authority for the Orders over to the new Prime Minister, Iyad Allawi. For his part, Allawi – a thirty-year exile of Iraq with close ties to both the CIA and British Intelligence Services – is considered America 's new man in charge of Iraq .


Bremer also ensured the implementation of the Orders by stacking every Ministry with U.S.-appointed authorities with five-year terms – well into the period of the new, elected government, which is to take office by the end of this year.
