The Bush Administration is truly evil

This should be beyond belief but it's not. Steve Soto at The Left Coaster reports of this disturbing report in The Asia times, US fights back against 'rule by clerics'. Steve does a great job of discussing the story so I'm not going to do a lot of copy and paste here, just head over to the Steve's post. What it's all about is the Bush administration is arming Baathists in the Shia areas in the South to fight the Shiite majority.
In other words, for the sake of maintaining control of the oil, the United States is prepared to foment civil war between the emerging Shia powers, who assume that with the election they will finally see the benefits of "liberation", and the same Baathists who ran with Hussein all these years.
[.......]
So, what the PNAC cabal thought they could control politically by installing their guy as PM, only to see him lose out to the Shiite factions, they now will try to control through armed militias, with direct ties to the United States.

Obviously, the Bush Administration’s definition of liberation is different than the Iraqis’ definition of liberation.
I don't know what more to say.
