Intrepid Washington reporter<\/a> Robert Dreyfuss interviews<\/a> Salah Mukhtar, who is “close” to the Iraq opposition. It’s clearly as bad or worse than you think.<\/p>\n

Our choices seem to be:<\/p>\n

1. Stay the course of installing the dictatorship<\/a> of the Iran parties,
\n2. Switch sides<\/a> back to Saddam’s Ba’athists,
\n3. Break the former country into three<\/a>, “hardening” the soft regional borders (and leaving many stuck on the “wrong” side of them), or
\n4. Get out now and leave no more guilty than at present.<\/p>\n

It has been three and a half years of this Tom Palmer-style, “we can’t leave until we make everything better” strategy, and everything has only gotten worse. It is for the people of that land to determine their future.<\/p>\n

As for the pro-American quislings there, it is only fair that the government provide them all entry to the most pro-war American states. Or better, the houses of the War Party<\/a>‘s highest members.<\/p>\n

No more bullshit. This war, which America had no right to wage in the first place, is lost – has been lost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

All U.S. forces out of Iraq now!<\/p>\n
