Iraqi leaders and American military families speak out: Bring them home NOW .

In the last few days, 6 US Soldiers have died for nothing, increasing Bush's Death Toll to 351 US and British Soldiers, and over7 , 800innocent Iraqi civilians [ http://www.antiwar.com/ewens/casualties.html ] in Bush's Guerrilla Quagmire. Our young men and women are dying, as are innocent Iraqis, while the Bushies and their corrupt cronies are enjoying the "high life" ... fat, juicy (top-secret) contracts for corporate war-profiteers; oil corporations lusting after the2 nd richest oil fields that belong to the Iraqi People; and, immoral tax cuts for the "top dogs" and "fat cats".

The lives of our US Military personnel are miserable, and they face the possibility of death on a daily basis ... but not for L. Paul Bremer and the Bush Gang, ensconced in palaces, well-fed, well-rested, and well-protected, in the bosom of their armed guards. In fact, Iraqi leaders plan to testify before Congress and report the money wasted by the Americans who are living like neo-emperors: Read "Iraqi Leaders to Press Congress for Control Over Rebuilding" by Patrick E. Tyler, on http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/22/in...html?ex=106480

"The Americans are spending money here to secure themselves at a rate that is two to three times what they are spending to secure the Iraqi people," said Ahmad al-Barak, a human rights lawyer and a member of the council. "It would be better for us if we would be in charge of how to spend this money and, of course, they could monitor how it is spent."

"He estimated that in some cases the savings could be a factor of10 . "Where they spend $ 1billion, we would spend $ 100million," he said."

"In the spirit of demonstrating such savings, the Governing Council this month canceled the $5,000-a-day contract that Mr. Bremer had arranged to feed the25 -member body and its staff and found a cheaper supplier." One can only wonder the exorbitant amount of taxpayer dollars Bremer squanders on his own meals. Presumably more than is being spent on our U.S. Soldiers charged for their daily meals deducted from their measly incomes, if they are injured in battle and hospitalized.

The Iraqi people want control of their own country, and a delegation from the US-appointed Governing Council wants more authority turned over to Iraq. Refer to "Iraqis Urge Quick End to Occupation", by Rajiv Chandrasekaran on http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/0915-07.htm .

Isn't is ironic that the Bushies don't want the Iraqis to control their own country after having "liberated" them? Of course not, because the Iraqi people might not agree to be raped by the Bush Gang's corrupt cabal of robber-barons like Halliburton, Bechtel, Carlyle Group & Big Oil-- The Bush Regime won't allow the Iraqis to determine their own future ... they won't allow them free elections, just as they won't allow us free elections in America.

Military families are rightly speaking out [http://www.mfso.org/ ], as they don't want their loved ones massacred, simply to save the corrupt Bush Gang's fatt rear-ends ... Why should human beings die for an insane neo-con ideology of global hegemony to enrich the corporate empire on behalf the rich oligarchy?

A letter from a soldier reads [http://www.alternet.org ]:

"I am a soldier currently on active duty and my husband is a member of the Reserves and has been activated since Feb.13 , and is currently in Iraq, supporting the4 th ID, where he's been since April. We were both deployed at the same time. I was fortunate enough to have my unit return earlier this summer.

"Some of the conditions I experienced over there were deplorable. It sickens me every time I see news articles quoting dignitaries coming from there saying, "The soldiers are in good spirits," "Morale is high." I'm here to tell you, it's all lies. Morale is at an all-time low. Soldiers are hating life there, so much so, some are taking their own lives rather than deal with the situation. It has become that drastic" ...

The hypocritical screed and propaganda spewed by the Bush Regime, must be exposed for the neo-fascist rhetoric full of deceptions, that it represents. Wolfy Wolfowitz lied over the week-end by suggesting that Saddam Hussein massacred millions of Iraqis, which is factually untrue, just as he lied about phony WMDs and fabricated links between Iraq and Al Qaida [ http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/22/in....html?ex=10648

08000 &en=3d54a6ff144c6 ]. But Wolfy plays fast-and-loose with reality, believing that Americans are dumb sheep willing to believe his neo-con flim-flam.

L. Paul Bremer must have racked up millions of frequent-flyer points, and is back in Washington DC today to sell another "lemon" to the rubber-stamp, credulous Congress, in order that he can play neo-Lawrence of Arabia, by persuading them to hand-over billions into his dirty, sticky fingers. "Terrorists love state sponsors" ... "Saddam's Iraq was one of those countries", spits Bremer, except for the fact, that Al Qaida was not linked to Iraq. The Bush Regime created chaos and a hot-bed for terrorism ... destroyed their infrastructure ... and now say "$ 87 Billion is an important element in the war on terrorism" and to re-build Iraq.

If Congress can't see past this flim-flam "bait-and-switch" scam, perpetrated by the arrogant Bush Regime to enrich their Corporate Cronies, then they are either stupid or corrupt or both. The Bushies want the poor, low-income, middle-class and fixed-income Americans to pay-off all their debts. The Bushies don't want their corporate cronies or their rich campaign contributors to sacrifice any of their ill-gotten blood-money.

The chaos and rape of America and Iraq, has been instigated on behalf of Halliburton, Bechtel, Carlyle Group, Big Oil, and other corporate robber-barons. Meanwhile, average taxpayers and Iraqi citizens are paying Bush's obscene $ 166Billion War Tab, as well as his record-level $ 500Billion Spending-Spree Deficit, all being squandered on the rich.

Meanwhile, the Bushies are pretending that all is rosy and everybody in Iraq, is tickled pink-- as Richard Perle spouts the official propaganda on the News Hour with Jim Lehrer, except that representatives from global aide agencies, as well as reports showing real people on the streets (not in the palaces) of Baghdad, starkly contradicts the official Bush Regime's position.

"We the People" have an obligation to contact Congress today to demand that the war-profiteers' profits be confiscated; tax cuts for the richest-of-the-rich be repealed; and, liars like Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz be summarily fired for incompetence and corruption. Bush should also be tried and impeached for betraying his oath of office.
