Bush Accepts Iraq Fundamentalist Theocracy To Get Constitutional Deal

[ruggerson]

This has got to be the last straw. This moron who has been spouting about fostering "freedom" in his ever changing justification for this bloodbath now has been instrumental in setting up another Islamic state.

There are no words to describe how evil this man is. This should have even conservative Republicans finally jumping ship.

The United States has eased its opposition to an Islamic Iraqi state to help clinch a deal on a draft constitution before tonight's deadline.
American diplomats backed religious conservatives who threatened to torpedo talks over the shape of the new Iraq unless Islam was a primary source of law. Secular and liberal groups were dismayed at the move, branding it a betrayal of Washington's promise to advocate equal rights in a free and tolerant society.

Stalemate over the role of Islam, among other issues, meant last week's deadline was extended for a week. Outstanding disputes could produce another cliffhanger tonight, triggering a further extension.

The Bush administration, keen to show the political process is on track, has waded into negotiations and pressured all sides to compromise.

4. Bush accepts what? Bullshit

The US and Bush* should be in no position for the press to say "The United States has eased its opposition to an Islamic Iraqi state to help clinch a deal on a draft constitution before tonight's deadline."

We "liberated" them, right? They should be free to make their own decisions, their own constitution, their own mistakes, if that would be the case.

Bush tries to have it both ways yet again and its so obvious and standard that we just accept it as such.

5. It's all part of his brilliantly successful war plan.

He's achieved his 2 main goals:

(1) Shoot up the price of oil (which his cronies own boatloads of).
(2) Set up a fellow theocracy in Iraq. He's comfortable dealing with folks like himself.

:grr:

6. Just think how much better things already are in Iraq and are going to be
