Unfortunately the bit of over-dramatic rhetoric below indicates the lack of "grounding in the reality of events in Iraq" by some on this list. The statement posted was indeed authentic and was written by folkswho have lived and struggled in Baghdad and other parts of Iraq rather than "analyzing" info from within the U.S.
This is not a question of proximity. It is a question of participating in a quisling formation run by Ahmed Chalabi, a CIA asset and thief.
It is pretty clear that uprisings in the last few days are not "anti-imperialist" but indeed are a struggle for power within the framework of the handover by the US on the June 30th.
This is exactly the line of Fox TV.
Pretensions to being really revolutionary aside, why are some on this list so eager for continued eruptions of violence and killing in Iraq?
For the same reason we back the Palestinians or any other oppressed people fighting against occupation.
