NEW IRAQ REPORT PAINTS GRIM PICTURE
Compiled by the 16 American intelligence agencies, the crucial
assessment of the war in Iraq has stunned Congress. While it concedes
that the current US troop surge in Baghdad has improved security and
that it should continue to improve "modestly" over the next six months,
it concludes that Iraqi forces still need help and that the US-backed
government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is "shaky". The report
warns that his government will become more precarious over the next six
to 12 months because of criticism from various Shi'ite, Sunni Muslim
and Kurdish factions. And that: "to date, Iraqi political leaders
remain unable to govern effectively." Reacting to the report, the
Foreign Minister again said the process of reconciliation was moving
too slowly. He also warned that Iraq's forces are not ready to take
over.
It seems the US has finally decided on an exit strategy for Iraq.
In a speech yesterday Mr Bush Said; that a withdrawal from Iraq could trigger the kind of upheaval seen in South-East Asia after US forces quit Saigon. There were less Vietnamese getting killed after the US troop withdraw, and Ofcourse the rampant spread of Communism throughout the world. Well its been 40 years, so I expect to see the RED flag flying from the Statue of Liberty within days.
Well this is no surprise as we all knew it would be Blame and Run, or more precisly Blame Maliki and Flee with their tail between their legs. I certainly hope they do. It might pacify the American public but it will certainly prove that the USA is just a paper tiger and it will undoubtedly be the Last lump of Hypocrisy that the world will swallow from the criminal gang that Americans call their Freely elected Democratic Government.

Also, do you really think less SE asians died after America left the region. Siagon massacres, reeducation, the Killing fields nearly 3 Million dead

Yes I do. The Killing Feilds as you say here is a direct result of US DIA involvement. The US government recognised Pol Pot as the legitamate Democratically elected leader of Cambodia for years. I would also like to remind you that the Bombing of Cambodia caused the largest protests in US history. There were also 10,000 draft dodgers. US servicmen tore the medals from their uniforms and threw them into the trash on the steps of the whitehouse, Do I need to post that video for you ?
As of 2006, the Vietnamese government estimates that there are over 4,000,000 victims of dioxin
poisoning in Vietnam, although the United States government denies any
conclusive scientific links between Agent Orange and the Vietnamese
victims of dioxin poisoning. In some areas of southern Vietnam dioxin
levels remain at over 100 times the accepted international standard.
1.1 Million Vietnamese were killed during the US occupation of Vietnam.
Oh and I was also there filming in 1995 when the last of the Khmer Rouge fell in the Elephant mountains. I also covered the operation in Phnom Malai, and when the insurgents twice overran Treng. I also have the footage from Susan Ginsberg Hadden, a professor at the University of Texas, and her Husband James Hadden Jr who I interveiwed after his wife was killed by the rebels at Ankor.
