Blood, Oil, and Iraq Policy
Dale Allen Pfeiffer has an interesting analysis posted over at Speaking Truth to Power - The Fallacy of Bleedout.
The article addresses a number of "realities" being thrown at us by the Bush spin machine.
Iraq will devolve to chaos if we don't leave. "Last month, the Pentagon warned Bush that his troop surge could result in over 10,000 US casualties by the end of 2008. "
US presence is needed to protect Iraqi's. "Political leaders cling to this idea of bleed-out simply because they do not want US interests to lose their grip on Iraq's oil wealth."
As always, Pfeiffer offers a crisp debunking and clear insight.

"The Empire Strikes Backwards"
