The Bushes and Bin Ladens have been in business together, as have are Bushes and the shieks of Dubai who they just let take over our ports. As are Bushes and the Saudi royals (with whom they could and do jack up oil prices).

But wait, Prince Bandar offereed in 2004 to bring down oil prices before the election for GW, if he asked. Maybe they will do it this time before November along with the ticker tape parades and more phony terrorist alerts.

We all know that Saddam was a secular Muslim and not a fundamentalist one

So why did he build 50 grandiose mosques and have a Koran written in his own blood? to show off his secularism?

Murtha Says US Poses Top Threat to World Peace
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Sunday 25 June 2006

Miami - American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to an audience of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.

Murtha was the guest speaker at a town hall meeting organized by Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, D-Miami, at Florida International University's Biscayne Bay Campus.

Meek's mother, former Rep. Carrie Meek, D-Miami, was also on the panel.

War veterans, local mayors, university students and faculty were in the Mary Ann Wolfe Theatre to listen to the three panelists discuss the war in Iraq for an hour.

A former Marine and a prominent critic of the Bush administration's policies in Iraq, Murtha reiterated his views that the war cannot be won militarily and needs political solutions. He said the more than 100,000 troops in Iraq should be pulled out immediately, and deployed to peripheral countries like Kuwait.

"We do not want permanent bases in Iraq," Murtha told the audience. "We want as many Americans out of there as possible."

Murtha also has publicly said that the shooting of 24 Iraqis in November at Haditha, a city in the Anbar province of western Iraq that has been plagued by insurgents, was wrongfully covered up.

The killings, which sparked an investigation into the deadly encounter and another into whether they were the subject of a cover-up, could undermine U.S. efforts in Iraq more than the prison abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib in 2004, Murtha said.

"(The United States) became the target when Abu Ghraib came along," Murtha said.
