It Is OK to have KILLED U. S. Troops in Iraq!

Published on June 15, 2006 By COL Gene In Politics

I found it hard to believe what the Washington Post article said this morning which is that the Prime Minister of Iraq, Nouri al-Maliki was to announce a limited amnesty plan to help placate the Sunni Arab insurgency by granting them a PARDON so long as their only crime was ATTACKING U.S.TROOPS!

This is the new Iraqi Government Bush enabled to be created with the blood of our brave military and hundreds of Billions of dollars. This new government that is to make us more secure is considering granting PARDONS to Iraqi's that ONLY attacked and killed American Troops. If they attacked and killed Iraqi's, they are to be punished but not if their only crime was KILLING Americans.

This is the government that George W. Bush congratulated this week on his stealth trip to Baghdad. There is NOTHING that shows how wrong our policy is in Iraq then this plan to condone the killing of the infidels! All Americans must watch to see if this comes about and if is does we should leave Iraq ASAP!

Apparently killing American troops is the Iraqi patriotic thing to do!

The USA has a history of creating governments which it ultimately abandons. The South American Continent, Central American and South East Asia have all been victims of the pushes and pulls of domestic policy. The US has not yet learnt the lesson so well taught to the Romans by Livy: you cannot be both an empire and a republic(that was the old word for what we could call democracy)/

In Iraq the USA will not find any support. Even this quisling government will not stand up for the USA. In fact Bush underscored the staus of Iraq as a client stant when he landed in Baghdad Airport wihout even an invite from his quisling, al-Malaki.

The source was the Washington Post for the article I read. However all the news channels carried the story including CNN.

This is another story about this unbelievable plan:

WASHINGTON, June 15 (UPI) -- A row is brewing after the new Iraqi government suggested that insurgents who had attacked U.S. troops might get amnesty as part of a reconciliation plan.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki told reporters in Iraq Wednesday that he was developing a reconciliation plan that could include an amnesty for those "who weren't involved in the shedding of Iraqi blood."

National reconciliation between the minority Sunni Muslims -- who effectively ruled the country under Saddam Hussein and make up the bulk of the insurgents -- and their majority Shiite neighbors is seen by many as essential if the country is to survive.

But Democrats moved quickly Thursday to condemn the idea, and although administration officials cautioned that the plan was not finalized, it seems that such an amnesty would be a tough sell with the American public.

"It is shocking that (Maliki) is reportedly considering granting amnesty to insurgents who have killed U.S. troops," said Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada in a statement, "The mere idea that this proposal may go forward is an insult to the brave men and women who have died in the name of Iraqi freedom."

If Bush does not decry such a plan he is a TRATOR to our military !!!!!

That is what I have concluded. I will be VERY interested to see how Bush deals with this plan. My gut feeling is he will attempt to ignore it because for him to condone it would be political suicide. If he is silent they we will know he believes to is an acceptable policy by Iraq and as such would by a disloyal American! The ONLY thing he could do that would be acceptable is CONDEM it in the strongest possible terms but that would create problems with the NEW government he helped create. Sounds like a Lose-Lose for Bush!!!!!

Congratulate yourself all you want - you're just being ignored. al-Maliki has multiple constituencies to which he must speak and I have a sneaking suspicion that your characterization of this "plan" is way off base. Nothing new there.

We will see. That was the story as reported by multiple sources. I posted the UPI story and read the Washington Post story as well as the reports on CNN. It is interesting that when you Bushies have no comeback you do not agree but ignore the truth. JUST LIKE BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The success in Iraq ???????

More attacks then ever
2,500 American Casualties
Less Electric and water then before the war in many locations
Some areas have 50% unemployment
There is NO security outside the Green Zone
The oil Revenue has not materialized
Most of OUR $20 Billion to rebuild the infrastructure in Iraq was wasted
There is no indication when they can take over protecting their country WITHOUT our
our Military.

Those are GREAT things happening in Iraq.
