Bush* is definitely losing it

[Bandit]

He has just signed an executive order re-affirming sanction on Iraq. There is no government of Iraq and sanctions on dirt don't do so well. We currently are the acting government of Iraq so I guess he is sanctioning us. Sanctions only apply to governments. What the hell is going on? Has he really gone off the deep end here?

1. He just does not want other countries getting their hands on HIS oil

:)

[thermodynamic]

2. He wants the Iraqi people, who are against the Occupation, to suffer & die

It's as simple as that.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

3. I think that applies

to the people in this country too.

4. Fascism at work

Assuming he hasn't gone completely nuts, the rationale here is very simple. As long as the sanctions remain in place, American businesses can't move into Iraq without government invitation. There's money to be stolen in Iraq and the neocons want to be absolutely sure that they're the only ones who will be stealing it.

6. ..also true

that it keeps foreign firms (e.g. those damned French) out of Iraq until our state sponsored looting is finished.

5. imperialism at work...

...trade monopolies with colonies and client states.

7. The UN issues SANCTIONS; we issue Embargos.....

Right?????????

Well whatever......yes, he is a nut job

8. No, Bush LOST it a long time ago.

I even wonder if he ever HAD it to begin with.
