US Troops Pull Out Of Falluja

Marines Ordered Out of Falluja, Old Iraqi Army In

      This is good news for the peace movement as the Bush "war at all cost" attitude has hit a wall - International pressure.

Cooler heads are prevailing -

"Violent military action by an occupying power against inhabitants of an occupied country will only make matters worse," U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan warned. "It's definitely time now for those who prefer restraint and dialogue to make their voices heard." As French President Chirac calls for a genuine return of sovereignty to Iraq - does he mean a real independent Iraq, free of the market economy?

The Fallujah deal came after intense international pressure on the United States to find a peaceful solution to the standoff that killed hundreds of Iraqis and became a symbol of anti-U.S. resistance in Iraq.

BUSH bites the bullet as American forces will pull back and allow an all-Iraqi force commanded by one of Saddam Hussein's generals to take over security. A new force, known as the Fallujah Protective Army, is to enter the city Friday and provide security.

Commentary - So the generals and the Army that we have just defeated are back - only with a different boss. Bush has replaced Saddam and the corporations and the businesses of Iraq are now owned and sold by the US.

Let me get this right, we asked the Iraqi Army to disarm, and they say they did. Then we attacked them and had a glorious victory. The US then claimed that we liberated the people of Iraq. Now everyone in the world except the Bush believers say that the US is an occupying force. Bush is still trumpeting the "US are liberators" song and dance routine and to prove that we are not an occupying force we are rearming and re-deploying the Army that we asked to disarm before the liberation / or the invasion / or the occupation whatever you want to call it. The same Army that we defeated we are asking for help us out of this jam.

The attitude of war is morphing. The prevailing attitude of the world is embracing peace not war; and the greatest debacle (the Iraq War) in the history of war is being recognized as the greatest threat to human morality ever conceived. The hero in all this is the emboldened new president of Spain, Zapatero. He set the tone, he led the example that Kofi Annan speaks of - "It's definitely time now for those who prefer restraint and dialogue to make their voices heard."

Let the world toast to peace!
