Originally I was going to postup on a report out of Vietnam, that I received, as to ‘Agent Orange’, a few days back.
But War brings alot of negative results, very few positives, especially in conflicts of choice built on lies and the occupations that result, often having the invading country placing a supportive government in place as they remain the occupiers.
I’ll get to the information on Agent Orange in a moment, but before that I’d like to update some other news on the Remnants of War.

Patrick Coburn has a chilling piece in the Independent about what Bush is trying to push through the puppet government of Iraq. The subhead gives a nice summary:
Bush wants 50 military bases, control of Iraqi airspace and legal immunity for all American soldiers and contractors
The deal would effectively tie the hands of the next administration unless the Iraqis can muster the political courage to reject it. Since the Bush administration has done everything possible to keep the terms secret to ward off an Iraqi backlash, the least we can do is make sure the leak spreads to flood proportion.
Since the story has now broken on the DD front page, courtesy of Mishima, I thought I would focus on a few key contradictions based on quotes from the article.

What is this Country waiting for?
This is Our Government, those in Washington work for Us!
Little georgie likes to say “His Government”, it ain’t his, He Works For Us, as do everyone appointed and hired to federal jobs!
The Government we have isn’t just Incompetent, It’s Totally Corrupt!
And it isn’t only those hired to Represent that have no Backbone, it’s this Whole F**cking Country!

Seven veterans under VA’s care commit suicide
They served their country honorably but after risking their life in combat abroad, coping with coming home was too much. In the last three months seven servicemen being treated by Spokane’s VA Hospital have committed suicide.

The following came in on a google news alert I have on Nadia McCaffery who’s son, Sgt. Patrick McCaffrey, was killed nearly five years ago in Iraq. The reason I use the alert is that Nadia, and her Daughter-in-Law have been slowly growing the dream of helping other Veterans returning from the Theaters of War suffering from PTSD and TBI, her son was a medic. Their dream, in her sons honor, is called Veterans Village
This report doesn’t cover ‘Veterans Village’ but Nadia was asked about her thoughts on this Congressional Bill.

Is Iraq about to Blow Wide Open, 19 U.S. Killed so far this week, and it might be just the beginning.
