UK Arabic Paper Credits Iraqi Resistance for Bush's Defeat in Midterm Elections Al-Quds Al-Arabi Thursday,November 9, 2006
The results of the American midterm elections were a setback for President George W. Bush, his policies, and his Republican Party, will limit his freedom of movement, and turn him into a lame duck, as they say in politics. The Republican Party's hegemony over US policy, both the domestic and foreign ones, for over 12 years ended yesterday and the Democrats' opposition is now in control of Congress. This major setback was achieved because of Iraq, and specifically the Iraqi resistance which merits the credit for inflicting this resounding defeat on the US President and his party because of its steadfastness and bold military operations and its foiling of the occupation and all the political processes originating from it. The remaining two years of President's Bush's second term will be the worst in his political career. He will be unable to pass the legislations he wants, like he did when he passed these legislations and the necessary budgets to finance his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and which are estimated in the hundreds of billions of dollars without any opposition worth mentioning. We were not surprised by the growing demands immediately the midterm elections results became known for the resignation of the symbols of failure in the war on Iraq and the neo-conservatives group that rallied behind it, hijacked the White House and its policy, and placed them at the service of the Israeli interests. Following the resignation of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, President Bush will find himself forced to change his policy in Iraq and withdraw his forces from it so as to minimize the losses among the American soldiers that have so far reached more than 3,000 dead and 20,000 wounded, some of them critically. President Bush's administration committed real massacres in Iraq that resulted in the martyrdom of 665,000 Iraqi citizens, turned the country into a mass grave, and drowned it in an ugly sectarian civil war without any hope of a stable and secure future. This will undoubtedly remain a nightmare chasing President Bush even after his retirement and departure from office. The American people punished President Bush and his administration by voting for their opponents. The punishment was humiliating by all yardsticks. It was hoped that the British people would do the same thing to Tony Blair, his closest ally and partner in his wars, but they unfortunately did not do so. Iraq's curse has started to fall on President Bush W. and will certainly chase him until he is brought before the international tribunal as a war criminal who committed crimes against humanity because the Iraqis' blood and the destruction he had left in their country should not be in vain.
