The US Government invades Iraq, installs a government of its own choosing, writes said government's constitution, plans to leave 50,000 troops to ostensibly "advise and assist" said government, builds its own military bases, and builds a $700 million embassy for US Government and Iraqi government workers. But this is not colonialism to anyone except Michael Hirsh.
A sharia government at that.
Mccain's spawn was on some news show today (not sure which one, I'm in costa rica and there are only a couple channels en ingles, but I think it was abc) spouting the typical neocon line that we are enabling "our" enemies by announcing our "retreat." I guess the only acceptable solution would be to make Iraq the 51st US state.
Bollocks. I have half a mind not to come back.
