Weary of War? Don't Collaborate
By Kathy Kelly
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Friday 18 April 2008
An April 14 Associated Press article by Anne Flaherty reported that US senators and representatives are finding common ground in asking that Iraqis begin picking up the tab for the cost of war. The lawmakers are troubled that Iraqis might experience windfall surpluses of revenue generated by rising oil prices, while Americans bear the burden of paying for the Iraq war. "In hearings last week," Flaherty writes, "Joseph Lieberman (I-Connecticut) asked Defense Secretary Robert Gates whether Baghdad should start paying some US combat costs, and Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) raised the possibility that an anticipated Iraqi budget surplus this year could be used to help Afghanistan, whose $700 million in annual revenue represents a small fraction of Iraq's $46.8 billion budget." |

Speech at Rally marking the 5th anniversary of the Iraq War |

Let's talk about why getting out soon is better for the Iraqis.
Let's be clear: what the US as represented by the Bush administration
does in Iraq has not been and will not be concerned with the interests
of Iraqi people. They are interested in having a power base in Iraq
with which to exercise power over the entire Middle East. Refusing to
leave now that we have sowed destruction has nothing to do with
stopping a civil war (in fact we are arming the Sunnis so when we do
have to leave the civil war will be more deadly). Instead it is
because they do not want to give up the idea of a pliant government
there and they do not want to admit what the whole world knows: the US
cannot just impose its will on another people. |

More US supplied weapons in the Middle East |
|
|
Story submitted by Horace Santry on Thursday, August 9, 2007 - 1:14pm |
|
In late July 2007, the Bush Administration announced that it would be increasing military aid to Israel 25% to $30 billion, would be guaranteeing $13 billion in military aid to Egypt and would sell $20 billion to the Gulf states, primarily Saudi Arabia, all over the next ten years. The Middle East is lacking for many things, but the one thing that every Middle Eastern country is awash in is weapons. This is a time for the United States to be promoting diplomacy, not more violence.
US law states that military aid is only to be used for defense, and is not to be provided to countries which engage in a "consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights." None of the recipient countries, including Israel, meet this standard.
