Freedom's cause for Bush is nothing more than a repression of one group or another within the sovereign nation he invaded into accepting his false authority over them, and cynical manipulation and control of the Iraqi government he enabled under the intimidation of his military occupation. His possessive militarism in Iraq and elsewhere has divided our nation from within, and, from without against our allies. Bush has ignored whatever Iraqis might regard as freedom in his insistence that their country be used as a terror magnet. Yet, the soldiers he insists on continuing to commit to his retreat to Iraq are mostly fighting and dying because they're not wanted there by the majority of the Iraqi people. Our soldiers are fighting to control the Iraqis, and they are busy fighting to get Bush to release that control.
All the while, the original threatening forces, whose members successfully attacked our nation in 2001 and have been left to run free, are more than satisfied to have the bulk of our nation's military forces bogged down and fighting for their lives against a resistance in Iraq who've been made witness to the worst of al-Qaeda's warnings about U.S. imperialism, and emboldened by Bush failure to catch or eliminate the 9-11 suspects. According to Bush, things couldn't be better; situation's excellent . . .
