First read it, then talk about it

Viceroy Bremer parroting the party line was making the Suck-Timmy-Circuit today and making statements like this:

Yesterday, Paul Bremer, the chief administrator in Iraq, said the US would help write an interim Iraqi constitution that "embodies American values" and would lead to the creation of a new government.

He said: "We will write into that constitution exactly the kinds of guarantees that were not in Saddam’s constitution.

"We’ll have a bill of rights. We’ll recognise equality for all citizens. We’ll recognise an independent judiciary. We’ll talk about a federal government.

"All of these things will be in the interim constitution which will also provide in a limited time, probably two years, for a permanent constitution to be written that also embodies those American values."

That would be the independant judiciary led by Opus Dei leading man, Fat Tony Scalia? He has more in common with the Taliban than with ordinary Americans. And like many who have powerful positions in the middle-east, he's no stranger to nepotism either.

Yup, American Values for a significantly non-American country. News for you boys in the 1600 Crew, there was civiilization in Iraq while the Proto-WASPs were still making artwork on cave walls with excrement. Perhaps a little thought before engaging mouths might be in order...naaaah, yer neocons/chickenhawks.

Naaaah, yer just there to steal the oil. The talk about a "constitution" and 'Murican "values" is just a smokescreen to distract the sheeple.

An American-style Constitution? Bushco can't wedge or cram enough "God and religion" into the Constitution Of the United States, but IT IS a great model to keep God out of the Iraqi Constitution. God and religion in government, isn't it a wingnut wet dream?

There are lawyers in Iraq, many of whom graduated from American universities. Why haven't we simply given the job to them?

I don't doubt that Halliburton will be billing us for this.

I wish these people would get real. We elect people in high schools all over the US. The basic requirements for a constituate assembly are a nominating process and a secret ballot.

The nominating process can be as simple as accepting post cards from people who want to run and then having voters make their choice.

In a lot of the world they have people mark their hand with indelible ink after they vote so they can't vote twice.

The military secures sites for voting and ballots are printed.

You let anyone who looks like an adult vote in the first election and then the Iraqis can make the rules for voting later elections.

The two-faced policy of the Bushies is really hard to believe. They are counting on most people to simply roll over when they hear "democracy" and "constitution" and "American values" - and unfortunately they may be right. But it is clear that the present administration intends to maintain control of Iraq (assuming they ever actually obtain such control) - just look at Bush's positive reference to our role in Greece in 1947 in his recent "democracy speech" (when we effectively took over control of the Greek military and economy and ran them for many years).

We have to find some way of making the point to the American public that the young soldiers who are dying daily in Iraq are losing their lives for the selfish gain of a small fraternity of rich and power hungry turds who actually believe they can get away with murder - and be honored for it.

We have to make them pay. Justice demands it.

This line made me laugh out loud, so I read it out loud to my husband. He replied "what are you referring to? Skull and Bones?"
