Reflections on the "New American" Revolution
Friday, April 30, 2004
Pentagon's No. 2 Flubs Iraq Casualties: "Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was asked about the toll at a hearing of a House Appropriations subcommittee. 'It's approximately 500, of which - I can get the exact numbers � approximately 350 are combat deaths,' he responded
... American deaths Thursday were at 722 - 521 of them from combat"
Wolfowitz has misled Congress all the way. He said that oil revenues would pay for the occupation and rebuilding of Iraq. Wrong! By $20 Billion for this year, alone.
He said that we wouldn't need more troops for peacekeeping and occupation. Wrong! We need them badly now. So badly we're keeping about 25,000 soldiers there who should be coming home for leave, after already having had their missions extended.
Do these people in the administration not fear any accountability?
I suspect that if things go on this way, there will be a mutiny in the armed forces.
