The Robert Jensen deportation fund

Robert Jensen (rjensen@uts.cc.utexas.edu) is a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the author of "Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity." In an article written for The Austin American Statesman, Jensen recently claimed that “The United States has lost the war in Iraq, and that's a good thing.”

While Jensen was careful to say that the loss of American lives is not to be celebrated, he insulted our soldiers deeply by saying that their deaths “haven't protected Americans or brought freedom to Iraqis.” Instead, he brushed off their service to our country as merely part of “a quest to extend the American empire.”

In his article, Jensen proudly states, “I welcome the U.S. defeat.” He also says “it's essential the American empire be defeated and dismantled.” Why? Because, according to Jensen, “In Iraq, the Bush administration invaded not to liberate but to extend and deepen U.S. domination.” He also says that the invasion of Iraq is “about control over the flow of oil and oil profits,” though he concedes that it is not about outright ownership of Iraqi oil.

Give him a backpack, a bottle of water and one way ticket to Mosul. Let him off at the airport and let him make his way.

Why the backpack and water? His beloved, peaceful Islamic heros will kill him and take whatever he has within 1 hour.

I'd say Fallujah or possibly the border area of Pakistan. Maybe he can meet up with his soul brother Usama BL

Let him plead his case in a pub full of Marines that just returned from Iraq / Aphganistan.
