Give Imperialism a Chance

With public support waning for the occupation of Iraq, the right wingers are insisting that the "surge" needs time to work. Give imperialism a chance. At least they're no longer claiming that the insurgency is in its last throes. Is the political leadership talking about ending the imperialist quagmire? Republican Senators John Warner and Dick Lugar are calling on the President to come up with a new strategy by October that includes a reduction in the number of troops. That way, troops can remain in Iraq indefinitely and the imperialists can continue the rape. The state controlled media calls this "breaking ranks with the President." We say revisionist political maneuvering to calm public anger at Republicans. As usual, the Democrats are powerless to overcome filibusters and presidential vetoes. The occupation continues.
