The Occupation Mirage!

I don't know if this has been brought up, search hasn't returnt anything, but I had a look at infowars.com to see if there's something about the interview from yesterday and I noticed this:

Neocon Wolfowitz: Iraq Occupation Ended in 2004

YouTube | In fact, we no longer have troops in Iraq, it is a mirage and a creation of the liberal media.

When you click on the link all you get is a youtube video with Wolfowitz talking on c-span:


The whole "mirage" thing is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard, since I sometimes talk to at least one US Army soldier who went over there a couple of times after the occupation ended.

I was captioning C-Span when Wolfy said this. He means that when Bush handed over sovereignty to the Iraqi government, then we were no longer an "occupying force", but a force there at the invitation of the Iraqi government.

Another speaker that hour said that we can debate the fine points of occupation or not, but as long as Iraqis receive basic governmental services from American/coalition forces (clean water, electricity, security), then we are de facto occupiers.

Considering I spoke to a friend of mine just today who's over there, I think we can safely say we're still in Iraq.

My GOD the sheer stupidity of some truthers never ceases to amaze me.

So their are troofers who actually believe we have been faking our occupation of Iraq since 2004? They actually believe that every soldier who goes there is a liar? That every casaulty is faked or they just kill random soldiers? That all the reporters are in on it, and fake their footage and stories?

Why is it that troofers believe in the most complex CT's known to man?

I think Jones is saying "See how the liberal media lies! They say we don't have troops in Iraq!"

he's being sarcastic about something he's taken out of context right?
