The Iraq War All Makes Sense Now
If you believe the neocon plan is to inflame and divide the Muslim world.
The flimsy WMD premise for the invasion, the lack of post invasion planning, the razing of Fallujah, the torture and humiliation of Muslims at Abu Ghraib and other US detention camps-- this is all part of the neocon plan to inflame Muslim nations and disrupt modernization. This is why the neocons want Iraq to be as fucked up as possible.
Even allowing the Iraqi insurgency to develop fits into their plans-- it serves as a beacon for Jihadists and for recruitment of Islamic fundamentalists.
The democracy stuff in Iraq is almost purely for domestic consumption. Also this why the military has been so tight about letting western, especially US, journalists see what is happening in Iraq. They don't want the US public to see hwo badly they are behaving. Meanwhile, Arab news stations are freely broadcasting the carnage.
It all makes so much sense now.
Meanwhile all the Democrats can talk about is the incompetence in the Bush administration.
Don't they get it? Just like with 9/11, incompetence is the acceptable cover story for Democratic consumption (for Republicans, the cover story is that things are hard and they are doing everything they can and anyway all the problems are Clinton's fault).
The neocons are sick evil people, but they are not incompetent. They know exactly what they are doing. And they don't want Americans to know what they are doing. An important part of their ideology is deceiving the masses.
And sure enough, from 9/11 to WMD to bringing democracy to Muslims, Americans have mostly fallen for their deceptions.
The question is-- do the Muslim nations see through this plan? Are they smart enough to avoid falling into the trap?
That will be key in the next few years.
