New agreement lets US strike any country from inside Iraq
New agreement lets US strike any country from inside Iraq

Baghdad: A proposed Iraqi-American security agreement will include permanent American bases in the country, and the right for the United States to strike, from within Iraqi territory, any country it considers a threat to its national security, Gulf News has learned.

Senior Iraqi military sources have told Gulf News that the long-term controversial agreement is likely to include three major items.

Under the agreement, Iraqi security institutions such as Defence, Interior and National Security ministries, as well as armament contracts, will be under American supervision for ten years.

The agreement is also likely to give American forces permanent military bases in the country, as well as the right to move against any country considered to be a threat against world stability or acting against Iraqi or American interests.

3. Is this one of those "non-treaty" treaties?
Which Bush claims don't need to be ratified by the Senate?

Impeach.

5. These were the main motivations for the invasion in the first place,
"to give American forces permanent military bases in the country, as well as the right to move against any country considered to be a threat against world stability or acting against Iraqi or American interests"

8. That is exactly what I was going to post
The plan is working out smashingly! They never planned on US leaving Iraq, they planned on making a mess so we would have to stay and 'help' them FOREVER and give us our launching grounds.

This is why they took the PNAC website down, people were starting to catch on...
