ICH: "The American Empire is scheduled to depart from Iraq in June.
Of course, all of the troops will not depart. Reserves are being called up to serve as car-bomb fodder. But, officially, the United States will become an invited observer, probably sharing authority with the United Nations. That will please liberals, who will chant, 'Bush should have done it this way from the beginning'. Meanwhile, conservatives will conveniently overlook the fact that (1) the U.S. military is in retreat mode and (2) the Administration had to beg the United Nations Organization to come to Iraq and bail out Mr. Bush politically. Rush Limbaugh will not remind his listeners of this embarrassing fact. He will not sing the praises of 'those courageous and dedicated representatives of the United Nations, the world's legitimizer of last resort'.
The implosion of the American empire is about to begin - not just the military one but also the commercial one. An empire that can no longer afford to keep its troops on active duty in occupied areas is not a good credit risk." [Heli's Heaven and Hell Radio]
