A 'Surprise' Visit

This morning on television, I witnessed the arrival in Iraq, of the secretary of state of the mightiest nation on earth, Condi Rice, wearing a huge bullet-proof vest to avoid being killed by the resistance and insurgents who are roaming the country. The compliant and corrupted media, euphemistically described her visit as a 'surprise' visit, instead of correctly describing it as a 'sneak' visit - which is how all Bushites have to enter the country, usually by cover of darkness. This reality gives the lie to the claim by the commander-in-chief, over three years ago, that 'the mission had been accomplished'. Instead, it is more unsafe now than ever, especially for those who are illegally occupying this sovereign country. This is another blatant example of the unintended consequences of hegemonic forays around the world. I really feel sorry for the men and women of our military, who are being forced to fight and die for the empire ambitions of the Bushites and their supporters. But I don't feel a bit sorry for the Bushites who arrogantly continue to pursue their criminal policies, but still have to continue to 'sneak' into Iraq, three years after invading it with their much ballyhooed, 'shock and awe' bravado!
