Trumps Nighttime Trip to Iraq Confirms the Debacle by Jacob G. Hornberger

What better proof of the Iraq debacle than President Trumps middle-of-the-night trip to that country at Christmastime to visit United States troops who are still occupying the country some 15 years after the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency invaded it??

The United States national-security establishment has had a decade-and-half to bring its federally planned paradise into existence.

From the very first day of the United States conquest of Iraq, a country that had never attacked the United States, the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency wielded total control over the country, being able to install whatever type of regime they wanted, with no pesky constitutional restraints to inhibit whatever they wanted to do.

After 15 years of building their paradise with such things as bombs, bullets, arrests, raids, indefinite detention, torture (e.g., Abu Ghraib), and assassination, the United States commander in chief has to leave Washington under cover of secrecy and darkness, land in Iraq in the middle of the night, talk to the troops for just a short while, and then skedaddle back to Washington, D.C. in fear of being shot at by some disgruntled Iraqi who opposes the foreign invasion and occupation of his country.

If that is not pathetic, I do not know what is.

Why can a United States commander in chief not bravely and courageously fly into Iraq during the daytime the same way he would fly into London??

Why can he not freely travel into Baghdad and stay at a local hotel for a few days??

Why can he not meet with whoever happens to be the current United States puppet who is running the Iraqi government??

Why does President Trump have to instead sneak in and quickly sneak out of a country that the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency have had 15 long deadly and destructive years to convert into a paradise??

After all, the president of Iran does not do this.

He flies into Baghdad, stays several days in a hotel, and takes the time to meet with Iraqi officials.

But not President Trump.

He and his national-security team think that it would just be too dangerous to do that in the paradise that the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency have constructed over a period of 15 years.

For that matter, notice that not one member of the United States Congress has ever taken one of the prized congressional junkets to Iraq.

Not even a family vacation. What is up with that??

Would you not think that they would relish traveling to a country that has been invaded and occupied by troops who they never cease thanking for "their service" in Iraq??

If there is anything that should cause the American people to reject the conservative-liberal paradigm of foreign empire, intervention, regime-change, and wars of aggression, it should be Iraq.

President Trumps sneaky in-and-out trip to visit the troops in Iraq 15 years after they invaded and began occupying the country and turning it into their paradise says it all.
