Bush's New Year's Resolution: More War, More Soldier Deaths

With his New Year Presidential message, the President makes it clear that he intends on more of the same:

Last year, America continued its mission to fight and win the war on terror and promote liberty as an alternative to tyranny and despair. In the New Year, we will remain on the offensive against the enemies of freedom, advance the security of our country, and work toward a free and unified Iraq. Defeating terrorists and extremists is the challenge of our time, and we will answer history's call with confidence and fight for liberty without wavering.

What this means, if the new Congress allows it, is thousands more Americans dying to defend a weak, corrupt, and chaotic government; for an Iraqi population that doesn't want us there.

In fact, Bush and his neocon handlers have a greater ambition. They want to go after Iran:

At the far end of that room, on the morning of February 12th, 2003, a small group of eavesdroppers were listening intently for evidence of a treacherous crime. At the very moment that American forces were massing for an invasion of Iraq, there were indications that a rogue group of senior Pentagon officials were already conspiring to push the United States into another war—this time with Iran.

Reporter, Seymour Hersh, in a New Yorker magazine article detailed the Bush gang's plans for just such an invasion:

A month before the November 7 legislative elections Hersh wrote, Vice President Dick Cheney attended a national security discussion that touched on the impact of Democratic victory in both chambers on Iran policy.

"If the Democrats won on November 7th, the vice president said, that victory would not stop the administration from pursuing a military option with Iran," Hersh wrote, citing a source familiar with the discussion.
