No flowers for Invaders!

by DLi
In early 2003, the NeoCON wing of US Imperialism confidently predicted that, with a "Shock-and-Awe" military invasion that was to cost much less than $60 Billion, American GIs would be welcomed into Baghdad with fireworks and flowers as "liberators."
On June 30, 2009 there were certainly some fireworks in Baghdad, but they were lit to celebrate the formal "withdrawal" of USA Invaders from Iraqi cities. AND there were certainly no flowers for the American Occupiers. Furthermore, after blowing at least $700 Billion in a 6+ year War of Illegal Aggression, the USA empire has caused the killing of more than 1 million Iraqi civilians. Yet, it still maintains an Occupation army of 130,000 foreign terrorists plus an additional 150,000 foreign mercenaries.

No wonder many patriotic Iraqis and the Resistance continue to mount violent counterattacks on the American Occupation force! The US invaders should--and will--not be spared from trips to martyrdom until their Wall Street bosses order an immediate pullout and commit to pay appropriate reparations to the Iraqi people.
