Bush seals Baghdad, but not US borders

Bush seals Baghdad, but not US borders --By Lori Price

After reading the lead stories in Monday's Citizens For Legitimate Government newsletter (sources below), CLGer Sallie observed: 'They can build a wall around Baghdad, but they can't along the Mexican border.' Sallie makes a brilliant point.

But, alas alak, there is less profit to be made by the corpora-terrorists by sealing US borders --and so, Bush will not close them. By keeping the US borders wide open, corporations can pay slave wages to undocumented workers and, by extension, drive down the wages of US workers.

In Iraq, the US has already installed a fascist police state that pays low wages. The corpora-terrorists are already 'running the show' in Iraq. Heck, Iraqi farmers are no longer allowed to plant their own centuries-old seeds; they are forced to buy GMO seeds from the world's number one terrorist (after Bush) --Monsanto. LOL.

<snip>
How many Iraqi civilians have died, under Bush's 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' (formerly called, 'Operation IIraqi Liberation,' but changed, when Bush's embarrassing abbreviation surfaced)? Over 650 *thousand,* according to The Lancet.

1. Excuse me, but it is simply not true that Bush "seals Bagdhad"
Maybe they can build a wall around Bagdhad, but I am not convinced of this. At any rate, it is not at all what is occuring. Selected neighborhoods are being forcibly converted into gated communities... against substantial local opposition. It remains to be seen whether or not this is a partial or a complete waste of resources.
