The U.S. doesn't give a shit about Iraq
i'm talking about the people of course...
i've maintained all along that the u.s. really could care less if the iraqis slaughter each other down to the last man... we never went there to install democracy, despite the insistence otherwise, any more than we went there to topple a cruel dictator, or to rid ourselves of those pesky (non-existent) wmd's... now, somebody is actually telling the truth, and who better to do that for us than john bolton...

we went to iraq for two reasons, the very same reasons why bush and his criminal posse have been so intent on dismantling the u.s. constitution, creating a one-party, authoritarian state, and installing their litmus-tested, unswervingly loyal cronies throughout the executive branch - power and money... in iraq, the power is represented by an attempt to seize middle east hegemony and the money is represented by - what else? - oil... both of those reasons are also why the bush administration will never leave iraq and is also why it is very likely that, even if dems take the white house in 2008, they will find a way to stay on in iraq as well, it just may not look like full-tilt war... nobody, democrats or republicans, will be dismantling those permanent bases or tearing down the new green zonetaj mahal u.s. embassy... if the leadership of our country has their way, we will be in iraq forever...

Bolton's point-blank view [is] that the US had no responsibility to impose order after the invasion, and no responsibility for security within the country. Bolton actually says that the only error Bush really made was not giving the Iraqis "a copy of the Federalist papers and saying, 'Good luck.'" Yes, he says he's exaggerating for effect, but he is conveying the gist of the policy. The casual recklessness and arrogance of these people never cease to amaze. The world is theirs' to play with - and the victims of predictable and predicted violence are left to help themselves...
