At last night's Republican debate held in Boca Raton, Florida, all the Republicans were asked if the Iraq war was worth all the blood and treasure. With the exception of Ron Paul, they all gave basically the same answer, Saddam was a bad man and McCain went as far as to say that Rumsfeld was the problem or we would have already "won". If we are not good at something, such as nation destruction and rebuilding, no amount of good intentions can make up for that level of incompetence. We still haven't put New Orleans back together and no one is shooting down there. The truth be known, the United States attacked Iraq for the oil resources and that makes us pirates and piss poor ones at that. No amount of revisionist history or lipstick on the Iraq pig is going to make that chapter of American history a success story. I am sure that the dead and maimed, if they could all speak the same language or speak at all would say the best thing for Iraq is for some real peace makers to take the bull by the horns and figure out what is right for Iraq. As I said, the United States of America wants the oil a lot more than peace in the Middle East, that makes us imminently unqualified to have a say any longer. 3,932 American soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen didn't have to die in the name of oil gluttony.
In other words, he thinks this is how you make allies. By killing their family members.
He also thinks, of course, that they hate us bacause we're free.
These guys are completely insane.
The hard-core, dedicated Republican Right WingNuts that I had the mis-fortune to associate with in the US Armed Forces in 2000 and 2001 were very proud and smug in their convinction that electing "W" was a sure way to "...finally go get Saddam." A large number of these blatant GOP activists in uniform were remarkable consistent in this rhetoric. So much for an a-political, professional, military.
will Not Bring the Troops Home
OR Get To The Truth Of the Lies That put them in Harms Way In The First place.
You'd think that Pelosi's conscience would be bothered by the 4,000 dead and 50,000 maimed for the Cheney/Bush WMD lies...
but NOOOOOOOOOO!
I predict these Bush Democrats will eventually rue the day they failed to honor their Oath of office.
Sooner or later the public will wake up and replace them with anyone else available.
Unless they stop the nonsense, stop sending Iraq funding bills to Bush, fillibuster, and start threatening Impeachment Bush will run all over them and show to the 2008 Voters what incompetent whimps the Democratic Congress really is.
