The Last Straw. posted by Richard Seymour
Here is Jack Straw's latest hallucinatory bit of sophistry, as announced at the Labour conference today :"There is no occupation. The US, the UK and other countries' forces can only be in Iraq at the request of the Iraqi government. It is their call. If they ask us to leave, we leave."
Does anyone remember who installed the "Iraqi government"? If so, please forward the answer to Jack Straw, preferrably on the end of a speeding bullet. No, I didn't say what I just said. Forget that. Think of fluffy clouds and pink sheep. All is calm. And there is no occupation.
